80 MR. R.TRIMEN ON BUTTERFLIES [Jan. 20, 



Genus Hamanumida, Hiibn. 

 .32. Hamanumida DjEdalus (Fabr.). 



Papilio dcedalus, Fabr. Syst. Ent. p. 482. n. 174 (1/75). 



Papilio meleagris. Cram. Pap. Exot. i. t. Isvi. ff. A, B (1775). 



Omrora (August). Six male and two female examples. 



All tlie specimens are of the typical {dcedalus) form, having the 

 underside very dull argillaceous-ochreous more or less tinged with 

 rufous, without white spots (except the two lowest in the discal 

 series of the fore wings, which are tolerably well marked), and with 

 the dark markings very faint. 



Genus Charaxes, Ochs. 



33. Charaxes candiope (Godt.). 



Nymphalis candiope, Godt. Enc. Meth. ix. p. 353. n. 10 (1819). 



Charaxes candiope, Trim. S.-Afr. Butt. i. p. 327. n. 107. pi- 6. 

 f. 4 (c?)(1887). 



Omrora (August and September) and Ehanda (September). 

 Four male examples. 



34. Charaxes saturnus, Butl. 



Charaxes saturnus, Butl. Proc. Zool. Soc. 1865, p. 624, pi. 36. 



r. 1. 



Omrora (August), Ehanda (September), and Okavango River 

 (December). Eleven male examples. 



35. Charaxes ach.emenes, Feld. 



Charaxes achcemenes, Feld. Reise Novara, Lep. iii. p. 446, 

 pl. lix. ff. 6, 7 (c?) (1867). 



Omrora (August) and Ehanda (September). Three examples, 

 two males and a female. 



In this species the apex of the fore wings is remarkably produced, 

 especially in the female. 



36. Charaxes ephyra (Godt.). 



Nymphalis ephyra, Godt. Encycl. Meth. ix. p. 355 (1819). 



Ehanda (August and September). Two examples, a male and a 

 female. 



These examples are smaller than usual, especially the female, 

 expanding only 2 in. 5 lin. The lower spots of the outer discal 

 series of the fore wings in the female do not coalesce with those of 

 the inner series, but are quite apart, indistinct, small, crescentic, 

 and bluish ; the basal half of both wings is strongly glossed with a 

 greenish-bronzy metallic lustre '. 



I 



There is strong reason for supposing that C. rthcoclcs, Cram, {ncc Drury), 

 ngured on pl. cxix. d, e, in vol. ii. of Pap. Exot., is the female C. ephyra ; not- 

 withstanding the large size, rather i-ough execution, and crude colouring of the 

 figures, they certainly seeui to be intended to represent the female of this 

 Charaxes.
