Sir George Hampson considers my B. christyi to be a variation 

 of B. phcednsa, Drury. As, however, there is another specimen 

 in the British Museum from Nigeria, which agrees with my type 

 in having the large ocelli on the fore wing, I think it is quite 

 probable that the two species are distinct.
