I refer to this species two males and three females before me, which 

 agree better with the description of this species given by Bethune- 

 Baker than with any other known to me. I was at first tempted to 

 describe them as new to science but, after considerable study, have 

 finally decided that they belong here, but cannot be quite positive, as I 

 have not had the opportunity to examine the type of the species, which 

 is a male. The females in the collection agree absolutely with the males 

 in the markings of both the upper and under sides and are only differen- 

 tiated from them, aside from their sexual characters, by having a greater 

 expanse of wing. 



The specimens were taken at Medje, four in August, and one female 

 in September.

There is a series of ten males, nine taken at Medje from June 6 to

 one caught on April 6, the others about the middle of August 1910.
