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



Genus Hamanumida, Hiibn. 



32. Hamanumida d^dalus (Fabr.). 



Papilio dcBdalus, Fabr. Syst. Ent, p. 482. n. 174 (1775). 



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



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



x4.ll the 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 Char axes, Ochs. 



33. Charaxes candiope (Godt.). 



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



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

 f. 4(c?)(I887). 



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

 Four male examples. 



34. Charaxes sATURNus, Butl. 



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



r. ]. 



Oraroi-a (August), Ehanda (September), and Okavango River 

 (December). Eleven male examples. 



35. Charaxes agh^menes, Feld. 



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

 pi. 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 \ 



^ There is strong reason for supposing that C. dheocles, Cram, {neo Drury), 

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

 withstanding the large size, rather rough execution, and crude colouring of the 

 figui-es, they certainly seem to be intended to represent the female of this 

 Chanwees.
