The specific distinctness from one another of E. sarita, eberti, inannm and 

 ceres is not lieynnd donbt. It is scarcely possible to decide where to draw 

 the line of distinction between them.

1 <S from the Upper Gelo River, 8. v. 01. 



The specimen has a yellow subapical band on the upperside of the forewing, 

 an entirely bine-green npperside to the hindwing, a narrow, abbreviated, white 

 snbajiical band on the nnderside of the forewing, and a white discal band on 

 the hiudwing, The black cell-spots of the underside are small. 



The genus Euphaedra requires a thorough revision. Some species are 

 amazingly variable. We have studied the genus to some extent, but not sufficiently 

 to publish the results. We can only say this mnch— that it is a very hard nut 

 to crack. The sexual armature is of little help, being obviously different only 

 in a small number of species.

 14. & 16. v. 00; Walenso, Gillet Mts., 2000 m., 8. vii. 00; Abulcassim, 

 2100—2600 m., 16. vii. 00. 



The white area of the upperside of the wings is on an average less extended 

 than in ordinary tropical individuals. In two of the specimens from Abd-el-Kadr 

 the underside is strongly irrorated with black-brown, while in the ? from Harar 

 the underside is green-olive, resembling the leaf-like form occurring commonly 

 in South-East Africa. The ? from Abulcassim has the underside irrorated, 

 but less strongly than those c? c? from Abd-el-Kadr.

57. Charaxes tiridates marginatus subsj). nov. 



cj. Differs from Ch. tir. tiridates in the ochraceous marginal (respectively 

 admarginal) spots of both wings being larger, forming a band which is interrupted 

 only at the narrowly black veins, the upperside resembling that of Ch. numenes 

 neumanni.
