dark markings of the outer angle of the fore wings accentuated, as they 

 are in these specimens, by a short dark submarginal bar extending from 

 vein 1 and vein 3, and defining the median band outwardly. 



Like the preceding form this is a rare species, the female of which 

 has never, I believe, been found or described.

This seems to be a very common species, judging from the numl^er 

 of specimens taken. Curiously, all of them are males. There are one 

 hundred and thirty-three examples, all taken at Medje, a number in the 

 early part of April, the rest from the beginning of July to the early part 

 of September.

The collection includes one hundred and twelve males and four 

 females. One male is labelled "Niangara, November 8-9, 1910," 

 another is from Faradje, captured in 1911. All the rest were taken at 

 Medje, a number early in April, the remainder from the beginning of 

 July to the middle of September. 



(297) 8a. Charaxes protoclea marginepunctata, new variety 



A number of specimens of this species have a well-developed series 

 of submarginal black spots located on the cadmium-orange border of 

 the hind wings. The vast majority of specimens of C. protoclea have only 

 one such spot on the interspace between veins 7 and 8. For this form with 

 the submarginal spots I propose the above varietal name. The type 

 is in the Holland Collection from Gaboon, paratypes are in the 

 present collection, belonging to The American Museum of Natural 

 History, and in the Holland Collection from various localities in tropical 

 Africa.

Of this species there are in the collection seven unexpanded and 

 thirty-four expanded males. They were collected at Medje, a few in 

 April, the rest from the end of June to the beginning of September.
