by Dr. Jordan), are transitional between rogersi and kirki, 

 but the development of orange-ochreous is such that the 

 resemblance to saturnus would probably be strong. Of 2 

 further examples from Dabida (1916) one is very nearly and 

 the other fully the $ f. kirki. 



This interesting change in the mimetic likeness as kirki 

 ranges eastward in the southern part of British East Africa 

 was recognised by the Eev. K. St. Aubyn Rogers (Trans. Ent. 

 Soc, 1908, p. 507, footnote), who captured the whole of the 

 above-mentioned examples (see also Proc. Linn. Soc, 1915-16, 

 pp. 32-33). 



C. etheocles, new $/. m. carpenteri. — Differs from the $ f- m. 

 regalis, Rothsch., in the following points : (1) the more 

 angulated direction and more distal position of the blue band 

 crossing the H.W., so that it is continuous into the series of 

 post-discal F.W. spots ; (2) the disappearance of the two last 

 blue discal F.W. patches which form so conspicuous a feature 

 of regalis; the two last small blue patches of carpenteri 

 follow the post-discal and not the discal series, of which only 

 the upper spots in areas 2, 3, 5, 6 are represented ; (3) the 

 discal and upper post-discal F.W. spots are not bu Irish but 

 white with an intermixture of blue scales ; (4) the greater 

 size and prominence of the white submarginal spots, and far 

 smaller development of dull red in the admarginal spots, of 

 H.W. The red in these spots is restricted to a narrow line 

 with peacock-blue borders; then follow peacock-blue spots 

 becoming olive green at the anal angle. 



The wings within the discal spot; of F.W. and blue band 

 of H.W. are faintly iridescent dark blue-black as in regalis. 

 The effect of the above differences is to produce a mimetic 

 likeness to the <2 of Ch. etesipe, Godt., of which example were 

 taken in the same forest on July 8 and 13, 1915. 



Type, in Hope Department, taken by Capt. Carpenter in 

 the forest near Kakindu, 31° 30' E., 1° 10' S. (Proc. Ent. 

 Soc, 1915, lxv, lxxv; 1916, ex), Aug. 3, lit 1 5. Another worn 

 specimen, taken May 19, L915, differs in the II. W. blue 

 hand being represented by a series of separate soots, in the 

 whiteness and greater size of the discal F.W. spots, and in 

 the greater development of red in the admarginal H.W. spots.
