242 Mr. N. D. Riley’s Notes on 
Society, p. clxxvi, 1918. They are again referred to in 
the same publication, p. Ixxv, 1919. 
In Dollman’s MS. notes there occurs the following with 
regard to etheocles. “ This is a common and widely dis- 
tributed species in N.W. Rhodesia. The males were taken 
at Mwengwa (rare); Mumbwa; Kashitu (abundant) and 
throughout the Solwezi sub-district. The first female 
was taken at damp mud by the Lukanga R., Kashitu—a 
typical specimen of the f. manica Trimen. Several females 
caught at Solwezi, mostly at bad bananas, a few drinking 
(rather unusual in females of Rhopalocera) and some at 
sap. The males seen in numbers at decomposing animal 
matter—one of the most readily attracted of all Charazes 
by this lure. 
“Larvae found in January—July and in October, mostly 
on musasi, a kind of acacia, but one on musubo and one on 
kafundula, the latter both ‘Leguminous trees. Not found 
in such numbers as the next species, though by far the 
commoner in the perfect state, probably on account of the 
profusion of the musasi trees, which are tall and slender 
and mostly very inaccessible. One larva which pupated 
3 vil. 1917, emerged 31 vii. 1917—28 days.” 
The series contains 20 $3, all of the g-form cytila Roths- 
child, 19 99 of the 9-form manica Trimen, 1 Q of 9-form 
phaeus Hew., and the dates of capture or emergence cover 
the months Feb. April, July, August and December, but 
Dollman speaks of having ‘both bred and caught speci- 
mens taken throughout the year,” and states that they 
show “‘ little seasonal variation.”’ Those of the wet season, 
however, are more heavily and richly marked on the under- 
side than are the dry-season specimens.

“A much more restricted species than the preceding ; 
only found at Solwezi, about 100 miles from the Katanga 
boundary: Very few imagines caught—mostly at fruit, 
both sexes. It would seem to be very little attracted by 
animal matter, differing markedly in this from C. etheocles. 
“The larva was always found on kabulwebulwe, a species 
of acacia, usually several on a shrub. Although when fully 
grown this makes a magnificent and beautiful tree, it is
