Hab. N.E. and N.W. Rhodesia. 



Type in my collection. 



This is the species referred to under C. glauca Trimen, 

 that has always been regarded as a variety of that species ; 

 I have no doubt that they are distinct. The present species, 

 apart from its colour, which is not caused in relaxing, is 

 more robust ; the primaries are decidedly broader and the 

 secondaries more ample than in Trimen's insect. The 

 genitaha differ slightly, whilst the androconia can be 

 separated at a glance. 



Genitalia with the harpagines very long, narrow and highly arched ; 

 base unusually narrow, somewhat ham-shaped, very slightly excised 

 near apex, which terminates in a spatulate, broad, short hook; 

 base well furnished with long curved bristles, which are much less 

 plentiful towards the apex; anellus with the front margin but 

 slightly curved; aedoeagus longer and narrower than usual; tegu- 

 men merely a very narrov/ collar, with small cheeks which have 

 long narrow falces; cheeks Mith long bristles. 



Androconia somewhat pyriform, the expansion distally being 

 gradual but marked ; distal apex broad and well arched ; proximal 

 apex quite nari'ow; footstalk strong, tapering; eleven rows of 

 reticulations lying moderately close to each other. The difference 

 in shape between this and glauca is observable at once. 



Neochrysops polydialecta sp. n. (ttoXi? SidXeKTc;, much 

 discussion). Plates XIV, fig. 5 ; XXI, fig. 39 ; XXIX, 

 fig. 39. 



(J. Upperside, both wings pale violet blue with a lilac tinge; 

 cells closed by a fine dark dash; termen narrowly black. Second- 

 aries with a black subanal spot with a trace of a few metallic scales 

 and an orange internal border, the latter often absent. No tails. 

 Underside, both wings whitish grey with pale brown markiiigs 

 edged with white. Primaries with the dash closing the cell narrow ; 

 the postmcdian series short, consisting of five small spots whose 

 white margins touch, third spot oblique, fifth spot isolated shifted 

 inwards; a broadish submarginal row of internervular marks, 

 followed b}^ a narrow terminal row. Secondaries with four black 

 spots near the base, three below each other, one shifted well base- 

 wards on the inner margin, a fifth black spot beyond the centre 

 of vein 8 just below it; the usual sublunular mark closing the cell; 

 the postmedian row consisting of six spots, the first slightly ovate 

 and slightly oblique, second shifted well outwards, third somewhat
