(and especially the long median one common to both fore and hind 
wings) are in both sexes much straighter and more continuous than 
in either Cithceron or Xipliares — their white edgings (in the J 
throughout, and in the $ as regards the hind- wings and sub-basal 
part of the fore-wings) approximate Violetta more to Xi'pliares, This 
remark does not apply to the under side of the fore-wings in the % 
Violetta, where the broad white band externally bounding the median 
blue-black stria is very like that found in the $ Cithceron. The con- 
siderably smaller size of both sexes in comparison with the two large 
allies in question is an important distinction of Violetta.

" Upper side. — Male black. Both wings with the outer margin 
broadly bright brick-red (colour of C. Protoclea). Anterior wing with 
the costal margin rufous, the band of the outer margin marked by 
black spots, and divided as it reaches the apex into two bands of 
separate spots, one of which is on the margin. Posterior wing 
dentated, the red margin covering half the wing, and marked near the 
anal angle by two minute black spots centred with white. 
" Under side. — Ked-brown. Both wings with a submarginal series of 
minute white spots. Anterior wing with four bands in the cell and a 
spot beyond it ; crossed at the middle by a band of glossy colour bor- 
dered with brown, the apex marked by two white spots. Posterior 
wing crossed near the base by a band of red-brown, and at the middle 
and beyond it by broad glossy bands.

^' This fine species was taken by Mr. Thelwall at Nyassa. It is 
closely allied to G. Protoclea, and is the ^ of a butterfly from the 
collection of the Monteiros, which (having lost the posterior part of the 
hind-wings) I described as Philognoma Azota." — (Hewitson, loc. cit.) 
Upper side. — Female dark brown. Both wings crossed by a very 
broad white band tinted with lilac, commencing on the anterior wing 
at the third median nervule, where it is tinted with orange, and becom- 
ing broader in the posterior wing, and reaching to the abdominal fold. 
Both wings with the outer margin broadly rufous. Anterior wing with 
a bifid orange spot near the middle of the costal margin, and a broad 
submarginal rufous band. Posterior wing with one tail. 
" Under side. — Eufous-brown. Both wings crossed as above by a 
common band, but narrower, tinted with yellow, and marked near its
