58 MR. S. A. XEAVE OX BUTTERFLIES [Jail. 18, 



Catachrysops PATRICIA Trim. 



1 found this species sparingly in the wet season in the Lumgwa 

 valley and also on the Lufupa river, x. and xi. 



Catachrysops glauca Trim. 



I captured a few individuals of this species at Fort Jameson 

 and in the lower Luangwa valley, iii. Subsequently I took a 

 good series in the upper Luangwa valley, ii. and iii. Central 

 African specimens are of a pale grey greenish -glossed tint without 

 the blue shade of South African ones. 



Catachrysops cel^eus Cram. 



A single male from S.E. Katanga, xi., which I assign with some 

 doubt to this species. 



Catachrysops pampolis. 



Catachrysops pampolis H. H. Druce, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1905, 

 p. 258, pi. xiii. fig. 11. 



Represented by a single male from the upper Lubudi river, x., 

 and another in the same month from the lower Chambezi. 



Catachrysops giganteus Trim. 



I took a long series of this fine species near Petauke, Luangwa 

 valley, during the wet season. It appears to have two broods, 

 one at the end of December and another in March. It frequents 

 woodland and wooded hills and has a powerful flight, during 

 which its white black-spotted underside is rather conspicuous. 

 A female of this species from the Victoria Nyanza was described 

 by Butler as the female of his hypoleucus, which itself is a 

 synonym of peculiaris Rogenh. 



Catachrysops stormsi Robbe. 



I took four specimens of this species on the Lufupa river, xi. 

 It may be distinguished at once from the last by its lack of tail. 



Catachrysops cupreus, sp. n. (Plate II. figs. 9 6 , 10 2 .) 



A very distinct species, at once distinguished by the golden- 

 bronze colour of the males. The females somewhat resemble those 

 of C. peculiaris * Rogenh. 



cf . Upperside shining golden-bronze with linear black margins 

 to both wings. Also a well-marked black discocellular spot in both 

 primaries and secondaries, a character not present in allied species : 

 toward anal angle, eye-spots in areas 2 and 1 c, that in the former 

 area the better marked, the black pupil being inwardly outlined and 

 partially overlaid with pale blue scales, and the whole again being 

 outlined with a white iris ; eye-spot in area 1 c much less definite, 

 partially lacking the blue colour, and the dark indistinct pupil 



* C. peculiaris Kojrcnh, in BaumamiV ' Usam'hiiva,' p. 331.
