32. CHARAXES SMARAGDALIS, sp. n. (Pl. XXXVI. fig. 5.) 
Male. Upperside—front wings deep brown, inner margin glossed 
with greenish blue; a submarginal row of six pale blue-green spots 
along the outer margin, the two nearest the apex very pale, placed 
obliquely from the costal nervure Wings crossed in the middle by 
a broad oblique blue-green band, very broad below, becoming abruptly 
narrower above the third median nervule. Hind wings, basal half 
deep brown, glossed with greenish blue; apical half pale green ; 
outer margin deep brown, with a pale green sinuate lunulate edge 
and a submarginal row of seven pale green spots with white centres 
between the nervures. Tails very short; inner margin densely 
clothed with pale brown hairs. Body deep brown. 
Underside olivaceous ; front wings, basal portion ochreous; cell 
erossed by three small irregular angulated black bands, margined 
with grey ; three similar markings below the cell; a similar line 
margined outwardly with ochreous at the end of the cell, and a lunu- 
late black band, also margined with ochreous, placed obliquely from 
just below the end of the cell to the submedian nervure, the outer 
edge of the lowest lunule bluish below; outer margin ochreous, with 
a submarginal row of spots, the two uppermost ones white, the two 
lowest ocellate, tricoloured (grey, ochreous, and black), the rest 
ochreous. Hind wings olivaceous, marked with various lines and 
spots as in C. ¢iridates; but the lines are a little more angular, and 
the inner submarginal ochreous lunules are better defined. 
Hab. Congo. B.M. 
This species is allied to C. tiridates, from which it scarcely differs 
underneath.
