1894.] MANICA, SOUTH-EAST AFIIICA. 55 



three females from near Vundazi Eiver (April 6th and 12th). 

 Mr. Selous notes that this Ajphnceus was seen, five or six together, 

 on the same blue flowers that were frequented by A. masllikazi. 



All six examples agree with the summer specimens taken at 

 Omrora, S.W. Africa, by Mr. Eriksson (see P. Z. S. 1891, p. 89), 

 in their strongly ujarked and brightly tinted underside.

Two {6 2) from Christinas Pass, nine (5 (5,4$) from Mineni 

 Valley, one ( c? ) from Lusika Kiver, and one ( c? ) from near 

 Vundnzi Eiver. 



These examples altogether agree best with Hopffer's descriptions 

 and figures (Peters's Reise nach Mossamb., Ins. pi. xxvi. figs. 1-3, 

 p. 403), but the males are of a darker red on the upperside, like 

 more southern examples, and exhibit much variation in the width 

 of the fuscous border of the fore wing — most, however, having 

 that border very broad indeed in apical area.

Pour (3 males and a female) from the Mineni Valley, and one 

 (male) from Vunduzi River. The latter male has the discal red on 

 the upperside of the fore wings reduced to a triangular patch not 

 extending (except by an obsolescent spot) above 1st median ner- 

 vule ; and the female exhibits on the underside much of the lilacine- 

 whitish clouding characteristic of the male, and well developed in 

 these Manica examples. In both sexes, but especially in the male, 

 the discal small metallic spots of the underside are better marked 

 than usual.

Exp. aZ. ( c? ) 1 in. 2-2| lin. 



c? . Allied to C. amanga (Westw.). Fuscous, with a very darh 

 red discal patch in each iving. Fore wing : dark-red patch inferior, 

 lying between 2nd median nervule and inner margin, narrow 

 superiorly but widening inferiorly so as to occupy inner marginal 

 edge from rather before middle to a little before posterior angle ; 

 costa from base to before middle rather broadly bordered with dull 

 fulvous. Hind wing : dark-red patch larger than in fore wing, 

 widest superiorly (where it is bounded by the radial nervule) and 

 extending to hind-marginal edge, over anal angular lobe, and to 

 inner margin for some little distance before lobe ; tail long and 

 rather wide, of the same dark red ; inner-marginal border broadly
