2 , Chikunguru, Lower Nyika, April 20th, 1895. 



" Black and white chequered violet-tinged Blue " (R. C.\ 



This species differs from my female O. resplendens on both 

 surfaces, the secondaries of the Abyssinian form being crossed 

 from apex to inner margin by a continuous band above, the 

 markings on the under surface being also more regular, those 

 crossing the disc forming a regular zigzag : the female before me 

 corresponds with a male from Balapye, Kama's Country, and is 

 doubtless the true C. hintza ; but C. resplendens appears to be a 

 distinct though allied form.
