5 of the hindwing enclosing two small black dots which may also be united into a larger one; in the $ this 
black spot is often so large that it reaches the veins 4 and 6 and divides the yellow spot into yellow spots, 
one at the margin, the other at the base of the areas. East Africa. 
C. mokeezi Wallengr. (= amaponda Trim.-, separata Strd.) (76 b, as mookezi) differs from the other 
species in the discal spots 4 to 8 of the forewing uniting into an almost straight transverse band, in the other 
spots forming a narrow band, in the absence of all the basal spots, and the hindwing only having in the 
centre a yellow spot. Strand based upon this species the new genus Apallaga, but he does not mention any 
differences between the new genus and Celaenorrhinus. — - The larva lives on a species of Justicia, it has the 
usual shape of the body of the Hesperid larvae, a large dark red head and light green body with a whitish 
longitudinal line and two red spots on the first joint. Pupa light green with an obtuse apex of the head and 
some small black markings; sheath of spiral tongue longer than the abdomen, at the apex reddish. Cape 
Colony to Transvaal. — kivuensis Joic. & Talb. is somewhat smaller and shows the subapical band of the 
forewing interrupted in area 5. Kivu: Niragongo-Forest. 
C. modestus Rbl. is distinguished by the dark, not yellow-spotted upper surface of the hindwing re¬ 
calling that of C. proximus (75 b). Forewing with short, almost square spots in the cell and in 2; the discal 
spot in 5 is sometimes absent. Hind wing beneath with two transverse rows of bright yellow spots which are 
above only represented by- faintly yellowish hairy spots. Expanse about 32 mm. Mashona Land. 
C. bettoni Btlr. is unknown to me, but Butler compares it with the Indian C. ambareesa Mr. (Vol. IX, 
pi. 164 a), and it is said to differ above only in the yellow hyaline spots of the forewing. Beneath the fore¬ 
wing is dark chocolate, the basal half of the costal margin being ochreous; the hyaline spots are edged with 
yellow; the median transverse band ends near the margin with a square spot in 1 b; anal margin whitish yellow. 
Hindwing beneath of a bright ochreous colour with numerous large dark grey spots. Expanse 38 mm. Accor¬ 
ding to the description, this species must be similar to C. modestus, but larger. Massai Land. 
C. humbloti Mab. Forewing with large, almost square, white hyaline spots in 2 and in the discal cell, 
hyaline dots in 1 b (2 separate ones), 3 to 8, and a streak in 11 and 12. Underside of both wings entirely 
as above. Madagascar. 
C. proximus Mab. (= elmina Plotz) (75 b) is easily discernible by the white spots of the forewing and 
by the hindwing above not being spotted light. Sierra Leone to Gabun. 
C. macrostictus Holl. (76 b) resembles proximus, but it has much larger, fused discal spots in area 
1 b of the forewing and entirely spotless hindwings. Ogowe Valley. 
C. meditrina Hew. (= interniplaga Mab.) (76 a, ^). The sexes are very different. The <$ is distinguished 
from the other sp'ecies by the large yellow, not transparent basal spot of area 1 b and the broad yellow stripe 
in the basal part of the costal margin. The discal spots and particularly the discal spot in 1 b, however, are 
in both sexes almost quite similar. In the $ the basal spot in 1 b is small, punctiform. The hindwing shows 
5 to 7 yellow submarginal spots in 1 b to 6, and 3 to 5 yellow discal spots being entirely separated from the 
submarginal spots in 2 to 5, of which those in 4 and 5 form a larger spot. Cameroon. 
C. pooanus Auriv. is somewhat smaller, but otherwise it only differs in the marking of the hindwing 
(cf. the review). Discal spot 3 of forewing is narrower, more strigiform. Island of Fernando Po. 
C. atratus Mab. (= collucens Holl.) (76 a; <£). The is easily discernible by the figure; the $ is very 
similar to that of C. meditrina and only differs in the differences stated in the review. Cameroon. 
C. plotzi Swh. ,,$. Dark blackish-brown with a yellowish hue; upper part of antenna and club beneath 
ochreous. Forewing with a very broad ochreous median band not quite reaching the costal margin and pos¬ 
terior margin, and being a little narrower towards the costal margin; its proximal edge somewhat before the 
centre of the wing and almost straight, its distal side somewhat bent and anteriorly uneven; an orange sub- 
apical spot. Hindwing with a large orange apical spot. Linder surface a little lighter; forewing as above; 
hindwing without spots. Palpi and frons orange; abdomen and legs beneath yellowish.“ Cameroon. It seems 
to differ from C. atratus $ in the absence of the discal spots 3 to 5 of the forewing. $ unknown. 
C. perlustris Rbl. „$■ The blackish-brown ground-colour of all the wings is dimmed by bright ochreous 
scales and hairs, only the costal margin of the hindwing remains purely black. The forewing exhibits a golden 
yellow median transverse band composed of four spots, shaped as in biseriatus Btlr. (76 a), but it is broader. 
Also the six subapical spots are arranged in the same way in three spots as in biseriatus. The hindwing is 
very much like illustris Mab. (76 b) in the scheme of markings, i. e. it only shows a marginal row of five 
golden yellow small spots and golden yellow fringes crossed by black at the veins. Beneath the forewing is 
marked the same though paler than above, the hindwing chiefly blackish-brown with obsolete golden yellow 
spots in the central part and before the margin. Palpi beneath with yellow hairs. Length of forewing 22 mm.“ 
Central Congo District, in the primeval forest.
