In British East Africa this species is very variable, both in size 

 and depth of colour : one of the males from the first-mentioned 

 locality has all the appearance of typical G. echisa (nor do I believe 

 that it possesses a character to distinguish it therefrom), and none 

 of the distinctive points indicated in Trimen's ' South African 

 Butterflies ' avail to separate it, seeing that it does not possess them. 

 The " inward nervular dentations of the hind-marginal border " are 

 very variable in both types ; indeed a male in the Museum from 

 Malta shows stronger dentations than those normally exhibited in 

 C. electra, whilst in the specimen above mentioned they are hardly 

 so well marked as in the majority of typical C. edusa, and a 

 specimen in the Museum from Kilimanjaro, though dark in colour 

 and smaller than usual, shows no inward dentation of the border.
