the dry form is represented by C. albina anl Rouxii^ in which 

 tlie 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 

 ot tiie black markino-s 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. le{s = darada form runs C. neombo x'd.\.\\&): close 

 in both sexes.

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

 resemble females of C. 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 lanhapura. I think C. Wardii is a good 

 species, distinct from C. paulina.
