 Larger than the type from the Congo. There can be no doubt, 

 I think, that the prominence of the white centres to the blue 

 spots, unless proved to be peculiar to one locality only, can 

 hardly indicate even a distinct race. Mr. Eothschild insists that 

 the true female of C. mixtus resembles the male !
