308 Dr. A. G. Butler on the Pierine Butterflies 



the dry form is represented by C. albina and Rouxii, in which 

 the dusky border of the male primaries is either almost wholly 

 absent or is reduced to a slender abbreviated black marginal 

 line, and the female differs from C. neombo in the reduction 

 of the black markings on the upper surface. 



Whether C. albina is really a distinct species from 

 C. paulina can only be finally settled by breeding from the 

 egg', the C. leis = darada form runs C. neombo rather close 

 in both sexes.

What I take to be wet-season males of this species 

 resemble females of G. neombo in the character of the upper 

 surface. I am not sure that two females without locality 

 standing next to the male of this species in Hewitson's 

 collection do not represent the wet-season phase of the female, 

 the secondaries and apex of primaries below being deep 

 orange; but they may be merely unusually large examples 

 of female C. lanlcapura. I think C. Wardii is a good 

 species, distinct from C. paulina.
