E. innnum, specimens of which I have from Sierra Leone, the tA'pe locality. In the 

 female sex the po.stapical band inclines to whitish or paler blue than in the male sex. 

 On the upper surface this form so closely resembles E. cwrulescens Sharpe that at 

 first glance it might be mistaken for it, but the bluish median band of the fore wing 

 does not extend as far costad as in E. carulescens, being restricted to a narrow longi- 

 tudinal stripe bordering the hind margin of this wing, and of course the markings of the 

 lower side of the wings are totally different. 



There are eight males, which were taken at Medje (type locality) 

 from June to September, and two females, one captured at Medje in 

 September and another at Bafwabolion September 10, 1909. The types 

 cf and 9 are in the American Museum of Natural History; paratypes 

 in the Holland Collection in the Carnegie Museum.

I refer to this species a single male captured at Medje, April 6, 

 1910. The specimen agrees most nearly with Felder's species, but the 

 reference is doubtful. In view of the great variability of the forms 

 under discussion, I do not care to erect a new species upon a single 

 individual, but it differs almost enough fi'om what I have determined 

 to be typical E. afzelii to justify its separation as a valid variety or 

 subspecies. 



(209) 8. Euphasdra phaethusa (Butler)

 Euphcnlra phaethusa Axjrivillius, 1913, Seitz, Gross-Schmett., XIII, p. 188. 



There are two specimens of this form, both taken at Medje, one in 

 April, the other in August. It is characterized by the obliteration of the 

 dark markings on the under side of the wings. 



(210) 9. Euphsedra ravola (Hewitson)

 Euphcedra ravola Aurivillius, 1913, Seitz, Gross-Schmett., XIII, p. 188, PI. XLiiib. 



There are two males and two females which I refer with some 

 uncertainty to this species. They do not agree perfectly with speci- 

 mens from the western coastal regions of which I have a long suite. 

 They are much brighter green upon the lower side of the wings, and 

 the dark spots and markings are greatly reduced in size imparting to the 

 under side of the wings a different facies from that of typical E. ravola. 

 However, I do not think it expedient to bestow a new varietal name 

 upon them. They are from Medje.
