292 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



can be regarded as identical with a species (apparently nearly as 

 large again as itself), with lilac wings, brown marginal line, 

 brownish white-tipped fringe, and three additional spots in the 

 circle round the discoidal spot on the under surface of the 

 secondaries. C. jesous (of which C. gamra and C. agave are 

 doubtless synonyms) is also doubtless the same as C. crameri. 

 C. ubaldus is correctly regarded by De Niceville as the female of 

 C. zena, and has nothing whatever to do with C. crameri, as 

 Mr. Trimen believed. 



The genus therefore will stand as follows : — 



Azanus, Moore. 

 Eyes clothed with fine short hair ; first subcostal branch 

 forming a mere short frenum, which unites the costal and sub- 

 costal veins ; secondaries without tails ; palpi long, porrected ; 

 antennae moderately clubbed. 



Section 1. — Front wings without thickened scaling. 



1. Azanus moriqua, Wallgr. 

 Syn. Lampides sigillata, Butler. 

 hyccena benigna, Moeschl. 

 Eastern Africa from Abyssinia to Zululand. 



2. Azanus mirza, Plotz. 

 Cameroons. 



3. Azanus occidentalis, Butler. 

 Western Africa only. 



4. Azanus jesous, Guerin. 

 Syn. Lyccena gamra, Lederer. 

 Lampides agave, Walker. 

 Azanus crameri, Moore. 



Natal to Upper Egypt ; Aden, through Syria, Persia, and 

 India, southwards to Ceylon. 



5. Azanus asialis, De Niceville. 

 Sumatra. 



6. Azanus natalensis, Trimen. 

 Natal, north-eastwards through Nyasa to Wadelai. This is 

 the largest and most conspicuous species in the genus, and 

 differs markedly in the pattern on the under surface of the 

 secondaries of both sexes, and in the amount of white on the 

 upper surface of the female. 



Section 2. — Front wings crossed by a thickened belt of colour 

 in the males. 



7. Azanus uranus, Butler. 



North-western and North-eastern India, southward to Madras ; 

 also said to occur in Biluchistan.
