tessellatus, luteofuscus and reticulatus. It can be distinguished from these by the 

 anastomosis of R z and i? 4 in the fore wing (R t and R 5 anastomose in the other 

 species), and in the male genitalia by the very long median juxta lobes 2/3 width 

 of valve (1/2 or less in the other species). The specimen from Bwamba, Uganda, 

 represents the western limit of the species in the main tropical rain-forest belt. 

 From the males of most other species of the genus, C. circumfiiscus can be distin- 

 guished by the very acute apex to the posterior edge of the hind wing. There is 

 considerable variation in the reduction of the proximal pair of spurs in different 

 specimens. In most of the male specimens the spurs appear to be absent (being 

 hidden by the scale cover), in some specimens they are just visible but in the females 

 from Ghana and the Congo, both pairs of spurs are visible. The wing venation 

 and other characters of these specimens are typical of the species.
