40 MR. S. A. NEAVE ON BUTTERFLIES [Jan. 18, 



probably the most abundant species of Charaxes throughout this 

 part of Africa. 



Charaxes bohemani Feld. 



This species is not uncommon throughout the wooded areas in 

 all parts of the country. It appears to be the most dominant 

 of the larger Charaxes. It is an extremely wary insect, the 

 female especially so, and flies and usually settles on tree-trunks, 

 etc., a good deal higher than most of its congeners. 



Charaxes cithtEron Feld. 



Represented by a single female captured in the Luangwa valley, 

 vi. One or two other individuals were observed. 



Charaxes ameli^e Doumet. 



I captured a single male of this fine species on the upper 

 Kalungwisi liver, ix. It was flying on the edge of some dense 

 forest. 



Charaxes nichetes leoninus Butler. 



I observed a few individuals of this species throughout the 

 high plateau country of IST.E. Rhodesia. I only succeeded in 

 capturing a few specimens, which are all males. It is aston- 

 ishingly active even for a Charaxes. I took it more commonly 

 in the lower Chambezi valley, x., than elsewhere. 



Charaxes varanes Cram. 



This species is on the wing at all seasons throughout the area 

 under discussion. It is, however, nowhere very abundant. 



Charaxes zoolina Dbl. & Hew. 



This species, which Leigh * has recently shown to be the same 

 species as neanthes Hew., is uncommon. I met with it only in 

 the Luangwa valley, iii., taking one male of the neanthes form and 

 a pair of zoolina. 



[Charaxes zingha Cram.] 



I observed, but did not succeed in taking, one or two indi- 

 viduals of this species, in the lower Lualaba valley, v., 1907. 



Fam. LemoniiD/E. 

 Abisara rogersi Druce. 



I found this species not uncommon throughout the country 

 west of the Mchinga escarpment. It frequents dense forest- 

 thickets and has a feeble but restless flight.
