  (.June,

  This 
  black

  originally 
  recorded 
  from 
  Corsica, 
  where 
  

   it 
  has 
  also 
  been 
  taken

  Mr. 
  Champion,

  — 
  Prof. 
  

   PouLTON 
  said 
  that 
  at 
  the 
  corresponding 
  meeting 
  last 
  year 
  the 
  

   late 
  Mr. 
  H. 
  Dollman 
  showed 
  his 
  beautiful 
  series 
  of 
  bred 
  

   Charaxes 
  of 
  the 
  etheocles 
  group 
  from 
  N.W. 
  Ehodesia. 
  Mr. 
  

   Dollman 
  had 
  proved 
  that 
  there 
  were, 
  in 
  his 
  locality, 
  two 
  

   distinct 
  species 
  differing 
  in 
  larval 
  and 
  pupal 
  characters 
  and 
  

   in 
  food-plant 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  patterns 
  of 
  the 
  imagines. 
  Of 
  

   these 
  the 
  first 
  had 
  blue-marked, 
  white-barred 
  females 
  resem- 
  

   bling 
  manica, 
  Trim., 
  and, 
  like 
  it, 
  mimicking 
  the 
  females 
  of 
  

   Ch. 
  bohemanni, 
  Feld. 
  ; 
  the 
  females 
  of 
  the 
  second 
  resembled 
  

   phaeus, 
  Butl., 
  lacking 
  the 
  white 
  bar 
  and 
  mimicking 
  the 
  males 
  

   of 
  bohemanni. 
  Prof. 
  Poulton 
  had 
  suggested
