1 observe in the si)ecimens from the Kritira Coloinj, tliat the gênerai 

 colour of the Tour wiugs is more reddish, and the teruiinal dark Ijand 

 larger, more dcfined and a more Juteuse black colour. Belovv,the gênerai 

 colour isjust y(d!o\vgreenish,uuirorm,with the black spots in the primaries, 

 disposed in marginal larger and more irregularly round séries. 



In the secondaries the two silvery spots are of a brighter colour and 

 connected together by a red-yellowish macula. For any thingelse Ihey do 

 not difïer at ail from the European specimeus.

The received spécimens ditfer pretty much from the described type and 

 figured by Miihillc (pi. II, tig. 3) which livesat /aiizihar andni M(id(i;fascn)\ 

 by the geiiei-al colour below Ihc wiugs. which iusiead of bciug (juile black 

 is covered wilh a bhie colour near the basilar part of the foiw w ings. 

 Besides, the grey spot of the primaries bas a distinclly triangulär shape, 

 Avhilst iu Ihe spécimens from the Southern Africa it is round. The white 

 bauds iu the uuderside of the secondaries are more augular and slightly 

 coloured wilh blue especially in one of the two sj)ecimens. The red spot 

 near Ihe anal sidc in the secondaries islarger andhasin themiddle adeliued 

 blue dark s|)ot, which in tho spécimens from Zanzibar is black. 



The two tail appendages of tho same wings are longer and Ihinuer. I 

 considor this form as a well distinct local yaricly. Two spécimens.
