ronnded than in tiberius. Himlwing : a large area extending from near base to 



beyond the curvature of R' and reaching (about) from R' to (SM') creamy ; in this 

 area the scales of the upper layer are creamy, while nearly all the scales of the 

 under layer are black, giving the patch a powdery appearance ; no postdiscal 

 spots ; a series of white submargiual dots from S(J- to SM-, two in each cellule; 

 white fringe-spots traceable only here and there ; shape of wing as in tiberius. 



Underside olive-black, hindwing shaded with orange in basal area. 



Forewing : markings essentially as above, but the submarginal spots SO* — R' 



absent. Hindwing : black streaks rather wider than in tiberius ; submarginal 



dots absent, vestigial, or minute. 



? . Body paler than in the c? ; abdomen from the stigmata downwards dirty 

 cream-colour, with a sharply defined brown-black ventral vitta, which includes 

 a row of small white dots. 



Wings, ujjpcrside. Forewing longer than iu J, the sexual difference, 



however, not being so obvious in tiberius and trajanas as in eurynome and 

 allies ; median band white ; cell-patch divided, spot R- — R' small, more or less 

 shaded with black ; patches R' — (SM^) larger than in c? ; a long white streak at 

 hinder margin ; submarginal spot R- — R^ absent, the others all present ; postdiscal 



spots R' — R^ much larger than the first two. Hindwing : white area slightly 



creamy, ronnded distally, extended nearly to base of cell and reaching beyond C, 

 the veins not black within the area, except SC^ ; the brown-black distal area 

 of the wing only 10 mm. wide at R' ; two small white postdiscal dots SO- — -R^, 

 and a series of submarginal ones from S(J- to (SM') ; white fringe-spots of both 

 wings small but distinct. 



Underside much paler than in cj, dark bistre-brown, disc of forewing deeper in 

 tint ; markings essentially as above, except the white area of the hindwing, which 

 is much smaller, scarcely reaching SC- and not extending much beyond the 

 curvature of R". 



Neuration : SC^ of forewing (seldom SC and SC^) anastomosed with C, D' 

 very short, almost reduced to a point, D- oblique, D' also oblique, little curved, 

 posteriorly more distal than in tiberius, therefore D' longer than in that species ; 

 D' of hindwing distal of point of origin of M'. 

 Early stages not known. 

 Hab. West Africa : Niger to Angola. 



In the Tring Museum 9 c?(?, 1 ? from: Oviogie, Niger 14. i. 1000 (Dr. 

 Ansorge) ; Mongoma-Lobah (Thomson). 



In a ? in the British Museum from Barombi, Cameroons, the subcostals and 

 the upper radial of the forewing form a kind of areole by being anastomosed ; the 

 areoles of the right and left wings are different.
