113. — Harma (n. sp.?). One female on the top of the Dabida 
Hills in Taita. 
114. — Euxanthe wakefieldi, Ward. Coast district, Taita, 
Taveta. By no means uncommon in woodlands. 
115. — Euxanthe tiberius, Smith. Coast hills. This species is 
never common and is extremely local. It is found only 
in dense forest. It is a magnificent insect. It generally 
settles on saplings under the shade of large trees, and its 
flight is rather slow as a rule. 
116. — Charaxes brutus, Cram. Generally distributed. 
117. — Charaxes castor , Cram. Coast district, Taita, Taveta. 
Not uncommon. The larva feeds on Afzelia caunzensis, 
which is known to the Swahilis as Bambakofi. The 
head has four divergent horns and is green, with the 
horns tipped with red, the outer ones with a yellow stripe 
on the outside. The body is green with a yellow 
spiracular stripe and is covered with small yellow 
tubercles. It has a round greenish-yellow spot with a 
black centre on the seventh segment, and a similar 
more irregular spot on the ninth segment, the latter 
being sometimes obsolete. The pupa is bluish-green 
with white markings. The egg is spherical with the top 
slightly concave ; it is yellow with a dark brown ring 
round the top. 
118. — Charaxes saturnus, Butl. Coast district, Taita, Taveta. 
Not uncommon in some years. The larva is similar 
to that of Ch. castor, but has a smoother appearance, 
and the large dorsal spots have the centre bluish-green 
instead of black. The pupa has the white markings much 
less developed. 
119. — Charaxes hansali, Feld. Taita, Ukambani. I have 
only taken a few of this rare species. 
120. — Charaxes / pollux , Cram. Taita, N. Kikuyu. Not un- 
common. The larva is green with a small round rufous 
spot on the back of the seventh segment, and the tips 
of the horns are bluish. 
121. — Charaxes tavetensis, Rothschild and Jordan. I have only 
obtained a single specimen of this rare form, which was 
reared from a larva found at Jilore on the same kind of
