 p. 265(1910). 

 This and the two following species are extremely closely allied and perhaps 

 should be classed together. Larger series and a closer study are, however, 

 required. There is sometimes in C. grahami a more or less distinct rim of white 

 scales to the eyes, recalling that of Protomelanoconion fuscum. 

 Gold Coast ; S. Nigeria ; Uganda. 



.17. C. zombaensis, Theo., Mon. Cul. II, p. 143 (1901). 

 C. quasigv.iarti, Theo., Mon. Cul. V, p. 374 (1910). 



C. quasiguiarti may be distinct, but I can see no character to separate it 

 from C. zombaensis, 

 Uganda ; Nyasaland.

 (?) C. aquilus, Graham, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) V, 1910, p. 266. 

 If the males described as C. aquilus do not belong to this species, there is no 

 male in the collection. 



Gambia ; Gold Coast ; Nigeria ; Congo F'ree State ; Uganda. 



19. C. salisburiensis, Theo., Mon. Cul. If, p. 113 (1901). 



C. bostochi, Theo., J. Econ. Biol. I, p. 29 (1905). 

 The type of C. bostocki has been lost, but the description leaves practically no 

 doubt that it was only C. salisburiensis. 

 S. Ehodesia ; Transvaal ; Natal.
