Landana (Loango). From Dr. Uhson More ; many examples 

 mixed with C. nitidula (Dej.) 



The curved line in prolongation of the apical luuule docs not 

 (except in rare albino examples) reach the white margin, as it 

 does in C. nitidula, nilotica, and others.

Madagascar ; liable to lie confounded Avith C. nilotica, from

 especially in the $ . I have no doubt it is the species indicated 

 under the name of C. oivas in the Cat. Cic. of M. de Chaudoir.
