p. Fringes of the wings without dark spots at the ends of the veins. Discal spots of the forewing white, 
complete (in 1 b to 8), nearing the margin and almost parallel to it. Hindwing above with 5 or 6 small 
white discal dots. Forewing beneath as above, but with whitish-yellow marginal streaks at the veins. 
Hindwing beneath with distinctly prominent light yellow veins and 8 whitish discal dots. H. wallacei. 
H. lepeletieri Latr. (= romi Eobbe) (77 k). South Africa to Congo and Ruwenzori. 
H. tsita Trim. (? = monochromus Mob.) (77 k). Cape Colony to Transvaal. 
H. inornatus Trim. (77 k). Cape Colony to Zulu Land. 
H. niangarensis Holl. North-Eastern Congo District. 
H. abjectus Snell. (= furvus Mab. ; uniformis Karsch ). Sierra Leone to Congo. 
H„ anomaeus Plotz (77 k). Palpi beneath yellowish. The peculiar marking of the hindwing beneath 
is to be seen from the figure. Gold Coast: Aburi. 
H. stellatus Mab. (= mineni Trim.) (78 a). East Africa: Manica Land to Mombassa. 
H„ punctulatus Bull. (77 a). Congo District and on the Tanganyika. 
H. wallacei Neave (78 a). Rhodesia. 
3. Genus: CJyelopides Hbn. 
Distinguished from all the other genera by vein 11 of the forewing being fused with vein 12 for a long 
distance. Wings invariably above with a blackish-brown ground-colour. 
Review of the Species. 
I. Hindwing beneath without a white longitudinal streak on a dark ground. 
A. Hindwing beneath with a blackish-brown or greyish-yellow ground-colour and similar veins. 
a. Both wings, or at least the forewing above with distinctly defined, bright yellow or orange spots. 
— d/eh-S'-group. 
§. Forewing with a yellow spot in the apex of the discal cell and at the costal margin in 9 and 
10 generally with a similar spot which is often united with it; besides with yellow discal spots 
in 2 to 8 and often also in 1 b, forming three or four separate groups (in 1 b, 2 and 3, 4 and 5, 
6 to 8); those in 4 and 5 are always much nearer to the margin than the others. 
+. Hindwing at least above with distinct yellow spots, a large discal spot in 4 and 5, a small 
one in 2, and a row before the margin. 
1. Both wings above at the base black without a yellow spot or only at the costal margin 
of the forewing with yellow scales. The yellow spots of the upper surface are 
moderately large or small. 
a. Hindwing beneath dark brown and only with one small yellow dot near the base 
of the costal margin (<3) or with some dull reddish-yellow spots, corresponding 
to those above. C. metis. 
b. Hindwing beneath almost black, without spots ($) or with dull reddish discal and 
submarginal spots. All the spots above are small. The discal spot 1 b of the forewing 
above is punctiform or absent altogether. C. quadrisignatus. 
c. Hindwing beneath greyish-yellow or pale brownish-yellow with dull yellow spots. 
The spots above are small and brownish-yellow. C. malgacha. 
d. Hindwing beneath at the costal margin and distal margin as far as vein 2 reddish- 
brown, at the hind-margin in 1 a, 1 b, and 1 c as far as the fold black, and otherwise 
in the centre blackish-grey; a basal spot in the discal cell, a very large discal spot 
in 4 and 5, reaching to the centre of these areas or somewhat projecting beyond 
the centre, and smaller discal spots in 1 c and 2 are whitish and are very prominently 
marked against the dark ground. The submarginal spots are situate in the brown 
marginal band and contrast but feebly with the ground-colour. C. alticola. 
2. The usual yellow spots of the upper surface are larger; forewing besides with a yellow r 
basal spot in area 1 b, and hindwing with an oblong yellow spot at the base. 
C. midas.
