^ Bluish-violaceous, with fuscous spots and horders. Fore-iuing : 
between extremity of discoidal cell and apex two oblique fuscous bars 
crossing from subcostal nervure to near tliird median nervule ; a 
moderately- wide hind-marginal border of fuscous, radiating rather 
broadly along the nervures, and forming a suflfused cloud between 
second and first median nervules ; a row of spots near and parallel to 
hind-marginal border, of which only the three upper ones are distinct ; 
just below third median, a small isolated spot in a line with the inner 
oblique bar. Hind-iuing : duller than fore-wing ; hind-marginal border 
ill-defined, traversed by a light-blue streak, brightest and widest near 
anal angle ; submarginal row of spots continuous of that of fore- wing, 
but the spots much larger, rounder, and relieved by an outer ring of 
somewhat paler blue. Nervules generally defined with reddish-fuscous. 
Cilia dull-white, mixed with fuscous at extremities of nervules. Under 
SIDE. — Warm ochrc-yclloiu, with greenish- white and hlack markings. 
Fore-wing : costa very narrowly, apex and hind-margin narrowly, 
bordered with greenish-white ; a fine extreme hind-marginal edging of 
black, preceded by a similar black line broken into eight inter-nervular 
lineolae ; inner oblique bar only represented, and that much attenuated, 
but spot below third median nervule larger than on upper side ; a sub- 
apical row of four black spots, representing submarginal row of upper 
side, of which the upper three are small and in greenish-white rings, 
while the fourth is much larger. Hind-wing : a pre-median, a median, 
and a hind-marginal band, and also a narrow costal edging, of greenish- 
white, each traversed by a black streak interrupted on the nervures 
— that traversing the middle band being highly irregular ; midway 
between median and hind-marginal bands, a row of seven conspicuous 
black spots in broad greenish-white rings ; hind-margin itself fineh^ 
edged with black. 
Allied to C. Bengiieloe, Chapman, from the Congo, but the upper- 
side colouring much brighter than in the $ of that species (being, 
indeed, bluer than in the J Benguelce), which is greenish-grey, clouded 
from bases with dull-fuscous. The under side is remarkably different, 
especially as regards the ochre-yellow of the fore-wing, which in both 
sexes of Benguclm is restricted to a small basal patch, leaving the discal
