Twenty-second Group. 
Frons black with fine white lateral margins. Eyes bare. Vein 11 of the forewing for some distance 
united with vein 12 or close at it. Hindwing at the end of vein 2 tailed. Wings beneath with a white ground- 
colour and oblong or strigiform discal spots at least in 1 b to 3 of the forewing and 1 b to 5 of the hindwing. 
Hindwing beneath with black subbasal dots in 7 and the cell, and often also in 1 a, in 1 c without a subbasal 
dot and with a transverse marginal spot. Discal spot 7 punctiform and black. Discal spot in 1 b black, but 
transverse; the other discal spots are lighter, not purely black. The transverse streaks at the end of the cell 
in both wings very fine and pale. 
Review of the Species. 
A. The discal spot 6 of the hindwing is absent or it is right behind the spot in 7. The marginal spot 2 of the 
hindwing at least beneath with a narrow, orange-red spot proximally bordering on it. — q . Wings above 
blackisch-brown without any blue, at the apex of the forewing narrow whitish. — Forewing above only 
in the centre covered with bluish. C. hippocrates. 
B. The discal spot 6 of the hindwing is as usually nearer at the margin than the discal spot 7. The marginal spot 
2 is edged with white and covered with metallic scales, but without any reddish-yellow bordering. Wings 
above with a blue or whitish ($) ground-coleur. 
a. Discal spots on both wings united into a line. Forewing above in the centre blue, at the costal and distal 
margins very broad blackish-brown. C. micylus. 
p. Discal spots on both wings separate. — <$. Forewing above as far as the costal margin of a delicate violettish 
blue, with a dark marginal band. — $. Wings above with a whitish ground-colour. C. togara. 
C. hippocrates F. (74 g). Wings beneath greyish-white; discal spots of the forewing black, those in 
1 c to 5 of the hindwing grey; submarginal line on both wings as well as the marginal spots of the forewing and 
3 to 6 of the hindwing grey; marginal spot 2 of the hindwing rounded, black, that in 1 c strigiform or parted 
blackish; a small, wedge-shaped black spot at the anal angle in the apex of area lb. — Wings above blackisli- 
brown, with a fine black marginal line and a black marginal dot in 2; forewing at the apex narrow white. —• 
—- $. Forewing above along the centre (and at the anal margin) covered with light bluish; hindwing above 
at the anal margin and at the base dark brown, then bluish with distinct white-ringed marginal spots. Sierra 
Leone to Natal and Abyssinia, Madagascar. 
C. micylus Cr. (74 h; ? $ as togara) is only known to me from Cramer’s figure. The marks 
mentioned in the review have been taken from the figures. Bethune-Baker reports that micylus is a species 
different from togara and that the £ has a different genital organ, but he says nothing about the external differences 
of the two species. Sierra Leone. 
C. togara Plotz (74 h; as micylus). Wings beneath white or whitish; forewing with strigiform, separate 
black or grey discal spots, of which those in 1 b and 2 are situate more towards the base. Submarginal and 
marginal streaks distinct. Hindwing beneath with large, jet-black subbasal dots in the cell and in area 7, 
sometimes also with a minute similar dot in la; discal spots 1 b and 7 also black, the former transverse, the 
latter rounded, the discal spots 1 c to 6 lighter grey, that in 1 c much nearer at the submarginal line than the 
others; submarginal line distinctly prominent, formed of 9 bows (two in 1 c, and one each in 1 b, 2 to 7); marginal 
spots in 1 c and 2 always black, also the others sometimes blackish. Both wings with a fine black marginal 
line. — $. Wings above light violettish-blue with a black marginal band of about 2 mm width, which is spotless 
in the forewing, whilst in the hindwing it encloses a complete row of white-edged marginal spots; forewing 
as far as the costal margin blue, hindwing at the costal margin as far as vein 7 brown, at the proximal 
margin, however, as far as vein 1 a scaled blue. — Wings above whitish, at the base as far as the centre 
grey and feebly scaled bluish; forewing with a dark central spot, and an apical spot of about 5 mm width, 
from which a much narrower marginal band runs to the anal angle; this marginal band in the areas 1 b to 
3 with two whitish streaks each; the discal spots are often also above distinct; hindwing also above with 
distinct discal spots, and at the margin marked as in the <J. Cameroon to Congo and Ruwenzori. 
Twenty-third Group. 
Oboronia- Group. 
This group closely approximates the preceding and may be regarded as a branch of it created by the 
extension of the white colour and the reduction of the marking beneath. 
Eyes bare. Frons black with fine white lateral margins. Palpi beneath smoothly scaled without bristles. 
Forewing with 11 veins; vein 11 separate and usually broadly separated from vein 12, but sometimes very
