E. sarita E. Sharpe (44 c), like inanum, has no black markings on the under surface except 1—3 dots sariia. 
in the cells; the ground-colour of the underside is very variable, light green — yellow-green — yellow-brown, 
and the hindwing has no white median band but occasionally light green submarginal spots; the subapical 
band of the forewing is in the $ above dark green and triangular, beneath quite obsolete or only indicated, in 
the $ whitish; the blue-green hindmarginal spot on the forewing reaches at least to vein 2. Congo. — ab. abys- abyssinica. 
sinica Rothsch. has on the under surface the base of the costal margin of the hindwing bright ochre-yellow and 
a black spot on the precostal vein. Abyssinia. 
E. preussi differs from all the other forms of the subgroup in having a broad white longitudinal band, 
sometimes tinged with bluish, at the costal margin of the- hindwing beneath, covering the base of this margin 
and then in cellule 7 extending far beyond the middle; the under surface has no black discal spots and the 
submarginal spots are small or entirely absent; the subapical band of the forewing is always narrow, in the 
d often very narrow, of uniform breadth, more or less broken up into spots and white, or in the greenish; the 
green or bluish hindmarginal spot on the upperside of the forewing is large, reaching at least to vein 2. 
preussi Stgr. (42 d). The forewing above sometimes dark green almost throughout, with two black dots in the preussi. 
cell, sometimes deep black transversely across the middle, as is usual in the species of this group; the ground¬ 
colour of the under surface is very inconstant, varying from greenish to yellowish and ochre-brown; the sub¬ 
marginal spots are distinct on the hindwing and in cellule 1 b of the forewing. Cameroons to Angola and the

surface dark rust-brown with distinct submarginal spots. — Njam-Njam-Land. — ab. njamnjami Stgr. only njamnjami. 
differs from njami in the entire absence of the submarginal spots on the under surface. Njam-Njam-Land. 
- ab. olivacea Griinb. has the upper surface uniformly dark except for the white subapical band, without a olivaceu. 
trace of light or dark submarginal spots on the hindwing and the under surface quite as uniform brownish 
green with the black cell-spots much reduced. Uganda. — neumanni Rothsch. is distinguished by having on neumanni. 
the upper surface an ill-defined yellowish nebulous band, running from the apex of the cell of the forewing 
to the hindmargin and across the middle of the hindwing, thus restricting the greenish colour; the hindwing 
with distinct submarginal spots above and beneath; the under surface light grey-green. Abyssinia. 
E. francina Godt. (42 cl) varies but little and is a very easily recognized species. The wings are black francina. 
above, at the base and hindmargin of the forewing and on the hindwing to beyond the middle a fine (green¬ 
ish) blue with black spots in the cell (and at the base of cellule lb) on the forewing and a very large, rounded 
black spot at the end of the cell on the hindwing; the broad black marginal band is nearly always ornamented 
with large, sharply marked, rounded blue submarginal spots; the subapical band of the forewing is narrow, 
orange-yellow above, indistinct or whitish yellow beneath; the fringes are dotted with white at the ends of 
the interneural folds. The under surface is uniform greenish, more or less suffused with yellow or brown-yellow, 
with 2 or 3 black dots in the cells, but without distinct discal and submarginal spots; the hindwing at least 
in cellule 7 with the beginning of a narrow white median band, which is there bounded proximally by an angled 
black transverse streak. Sierra Leone. 
The two following species, which are unknown to me, apparently belong to this group. 
E. paradoxa Neave. Forewing above glossy greenish black with narrow dirty white subapical band paradoxa. 
and red-brown hindmarginal spot; hindwing above dull red-brown with narrow black marginal band, with 
greenish reflection, and light green submarginal spots. Under surface light olive-green; forewing with white 
subapical band; distal part of the hindwing lighter green with indistinct greenish submarginal spots. Uganda. 
E. cooksoni Druce. Body above with white dots; forewing above black, at the costal margin grey- cooksoni. 
green; subapical band white; the hindmarginal spot broadly brownish chrome-yellow; hind-wing above brown- 
yellow with broad black marginal band and two blue submarginal spots near the hinder angle. Forewing beneath 
yellow, suffused with blackish green and with three black spots in the cell; hindwing beneath chrome-yellow 
with a black spot at the base and a black dot in the cell; a broad white submarginal band runs from the base 
to the apex, where it becomes quite narrow; two indistinct white spots at the apex of the cell and bluish 
white submarginal spots. Rhodesia. 
4. Eleus Group. 
Hindwing above and beneath with white or yellowish spots in the marginal band Thorax and abdomen dorsally 
with distinct pairs of white spots. Basal part of both wings usually yellow to red-yellow’. 
E. edwardsi Hoeven (42 c, §, not S). Hindwing on both surfaces with a black discocellular spot. The edwardsi. 
cells above and beneath with three large black spots. Forewing in the usually uniform greenish grey-broAvn 
above, with black veins, in the $ red-yellow in the basal part; hindwing yellow-brown above with blackish 
marginal band and light yellow submarginal spots. The under surface lighter, with ffr without whitish sub¬ 
marginal spots. Ashanti to Dahomey. — In ab. viridis Suff. the basal part of the hindwing is dusky green viridis. 
above instead of red-brownish and the cell-spots are indistinct. Togo. — ab. clarus Auriv. is on an average clams. 
lighter and occurs in the Congo region.
