m A LIST OF BUTTERFLIES COLLECTED 
tree as that of Ch. castor. The larva is green with an 
indistinct triangular mark on the seventh segment, 
the apex pointing towards the tail. The pupa is dark 
green with broad bright yellow spots and bands. 
122. — Char axes boueti lasti, Smith. I have only taken this 
species in the coast district, where I have found it fairly 
common. It is not quite so active as most species of 
the genus, and females are not so scarce as in some 
species, e.g. Ch. etheocles. 
128. — Char axes azota, Hew. Coast hills, Taveta. This fine 
species is rather uncommon. The larva is of the usual 
Charaxes shape. The colour is green, the head being 
bordered with brown. It has an orange spiracular 
stripe, the tubercles being more orange, and the green of 
the body has a somewhat mottled appearance which 
changes before pupation into dull yellow, with a row of 
large lateral ill-defined brown spots. The dorsal spot 
on the seventh segment is large and triangular with the 
apex pointing backward. It is orange-brown. The 
pupa is pinkish with chocolate-brown markings. 
124. — Charaxes baumanni, Rogenh. Taita, Taveta. Not gene- 
rally common. 
125. — Charaxes etheocles, Cram. Taita, Taveta. The males 
are fairly common, but the females are rare. At 
Taveta, where it frequented stunted trees growing on 
the top of a low hill, I obtained a good many. The 
only female form which I have taken is that known 
as kirki. 
126. — Charaxes guderiana, Duv. The coast district. Generally 
found in forest, where it flies high, and is not easily taken. 
127. — Charaxes ethalion, Boisd. Coast hills, Taita, Taveta. 
The males are less common than those of Ch. etheocles, 
but not rare. 
128. — Charaxes violetta, Smith. Coast district, Taveta. This 
species appears to be rather rare. 
129. — Charaxes cithceron, Feld. Generally distributed and not 
uncommon in forest country. The females are found 
as commonly as the males. In common with all species 
of the genus they are not easy to capture.
