the same manner. The following account was subsequently 

 prepared by Dr. Jordan : — 



The experience gained by Mr. Leigh throws new light on 

 quite a number of forms of Charaxes. There are two Charaxes 

 of this group in Madagascar, hetsimisaraka representing the 

 African zoolina, and hetanimena representing neanthes. These 

 two Malagasic forms both differ in the same way from the 

 corresponding African Charaxes, which is additional evidence 

 for the correctness of the result of Mr. Leigh's experiment in 

 breeding. Further evidence is afforded by four West African 

 Charaxes, two of which have the facies of zoolina, while the 

 two others correspond in colour to neanthes. These four 

 Charaxes belong doubtless to but two species instead of four, 

 each species being dichromatic. One pair of forms is appar- 

 ently the West African sub-species of Charaxes zoolina, while 

 the other pair are a species distinct from Ch. zoolina. As the 

 zoolina-iovra. of the West African sub-species has no name I 

 propose to call it 



form plianera. 

 It differs from the greenish and black zoolina of South and 

 East Africa mainly in the costal margin of the fore-wing 

 being less extended black, in the hind-wing bearing a distinct 

 pointed tail at the lower radial (as in ehmkei 1), and in the 

 under side of the same wing having distinct whitish admarginal 

 spots between the costa and second radial. 



Type of name : Canhoca, Angola (5, xii. 03, Dr. Ansorge). 



The following table shows the relationship of the various 

 forms in question according to the result of Mr. Leigh's 

 experiment. I add that we cannot iind any structural differ- 

 ences between the forms here united under Charaxes zoolina, 

 and that apparently there is also no constant structural 

 character by which Ch. ehmkei could with certainty bo 

 distinguished from Ch. zoolina.
