Euryphene violaeea, Butler, P. Z. S. 1888, p. 91. 



No exact localities on the pair obtained; probably from the 

 Sabaki Valley. 



An example from Zanzibar in the series of E. neophron recently 

 presented to the Museum by Messrs. Salvin and Godman shows 

 a decided approach to the colouring of E. violaeea, but has the 

 wing-form of typical E. neophron. The latter varies remarkably in 

 colouring, examples from Lake Nyasa being bright green above, 

 those from Delagoa Bay bluish green or greenish blue, those from 

 Zanzibar having a more or less pronounced violaceous suffusion, 

 usually confined to the external area. None, however, have the 

 produced primaries or uniform violaceous colouring of my species, 

 though it is possible that more transitional forms may hereafter 

 be obtained.
