interspaces ; the inferior extremity of the belt abruptly narrowed ; 

 a submarginal series of white spots, or grey spots with white 

 centres, the last two bordered externally with lilac ; still nearer 

 to the margin an interrupted blue-ed^ed red stripe changing to 

 olive-green at anal angle. Below, rather more silvery than in the 

 male and crossed by a broad white belt as above, but the angular 

 series of spots on the primaries forming a continuous band, bound- 

 ing the outer edge of the belt to submedian vein and only divided 

 by the darknervures ; markings beyond the belt on the secondaries 

 better denned than in the male. Expanse of wings 67-69 millim. 

 Two females, Zomba.

One much damaged example, Zomba. 



It being generally decided that my name of C. jocaste has no 

 claim to recognition, I yield the point rather than show myself 

 eccentric ; so long as all are agreed, it matters little what name a 

 species is known by.

One of the specimens obtained by Mr. McClounie at Zomba is 

 of interest, inasmuch as on the upper surface it is distinctly blue, 

 instead of green shading into blue ; the outline of the basal blue 

 area on the primaries is also irregular, a large quadrate black patch, 

 bounded externally by three blue spots, filling the end of the cell ; 

 underneath, the ground-colour is decidedly more rufous than usual. 

 These differences are clearly individual.
