These are of the colouring usual in examples from the 

 northern districts of the " East African " subregion. 

 The chrysipipus are duller and darker in hue than speci- 

 mens from Socotra, and the subapical white spots are 

 less discrete. The specimen of Idugii is somewhat paler 

 than the average of that form. It is remarkable that 

 all five variations of chrydppms are represented in these 

 nine examples tal^en at the same time and in the same 

 place. t
