Habitat. — Itoa Eiver, Ituri Forest, January, 1920, 1 2 . 



A specimen of preussi 2 approaches the above form in the 

 development of a greenish tint on the underside.

This striking form is very similar to preussi Stgr., but distinguished 

 by the cell of the fore wing being entirely blue, the hind wing with

 It represents a further development of the form semiprussiana Wichg.
