274 Mr. A. G. Butler on 



The sexes of this species have hitherto been kept 

 separate, probably on account of the rarity of the insect, 

 and the exceedingly poor figure of the male in Guerin's 

 Iconographie (copied in Griffith's Animal Kingdom) ; in 

 this figure, the tails are much too stout and clumsy, the 

 entire build of the insect is incorrect, the colouring under- 

 done, and only the uppersurface is represented; a mo- 

 derately fine example lately received by Mr. Swanzy from 

 Sierra Leone, has given me an opportunity of correcting 

 this error. 



Godart describes Etlieta as follows : — 



"Nym. alis supra atro-caeruleis, dimidio apicali casru- 

 lescenti-maculatis : subtus albis, nigro ferrugineoque mar- 

 moratis. 



"It difiers from Etesipe in that it is smaller, and the 

 uppersurface of the wings exhibits towards the margin 

 two transverse rows of pale blue spots ', the hind-wings, 

 moreover, in that the white discoidal band is altogether 

 wanting; only the uppersurface of the front wings is 

 marked with some white spots between the disc and the 

 centre of the costa. From the West Coast of Africa. 



"N.B. Might not this be the male of Etesipe?" 



The natural position of Etesipe is evidently between G. 

 Joeaste, * Butler, and G. Tiridates, Fabricius, the under- 

 surface being most like the former, the uppersurface more 

 closely resembling the latter species.

* Felder's C. Achmmenes is the male of C. Joeaste; my sectional de- 

 scription taken in connection with the locality, sufficiently characterized 

 the insect, so that Felder's name must sink into a synonym.
