Structurally not capable of being separated from B. hewitsoni 

 (Doumet) (cf.Rev. Zool., 1861, (2) XIII, p. 175) but on the upper side the 

 submarginal ocelli are more or less obsolete, and the outer pale area of 

 the wings is laved with violaceous. The latter also holds true of many 

 specimens of typical B. hewitsoni, which are not all pale brown on this 

 part of the wings. The line of demarcation between the dark basal 

 area of the hind wing and the light outer area is not quite straight as in 

 the typical form but is bent slightty inwardly basad at a point just 

 beyond the end of the cell. 



Ten males, all taken at Medje, except one which is recorded as 

 from Faradje, but without any indication of the day or month. The 

 specimens from Medje, with the exception of one taken on April 4, 

 were captured at dates ranging from July 7 to September 24, 1910.
