of the hindwing and by vein 7 or the forewing terminating into the apex or costal margin. 
All the species are lemon-coloured — sulphureous-yellow —- whitish-yellow with black marginal spots 
or a black marginal band, above, however without spots of the ground-colour. 
In the 3$ the costal margin of the forewing is above broad and jet-black, in the only speckled black 
or almost cpiite yellow. 
Review of the Species. 
A. The broad, black marginal band of the forewing above is distinctly indented on the inside, particularly 
in the areas 2 and 3. Large species, 35 to 45 mm. C. erastus. 
B. The black marginal band of the forewing above is proximally almost totally-margined and almost uniformly 
sinuated. 
a. The marginal band of the forewing above only reaches vein 2; both wings beneath with a black dot 
at the apex of the discal cell. C. unipunctata. 
(L The marginal band of the forewing above reaches the anal angle. 
*. Wings beneath at the margin more or less dusted black, but without distinct marginal spots. 
1. Marginal band of the hindwing above about 2 mm broad and distinctly curved. 
C. similis. 
2. Marginal baud ot the hindwing above only 1 mm broad and almost straight, ending pointedly 
at vein 6. C. j^sio. 
**. Wings beneath at the margin with distinct dark marginal spots or dots. 
1. Forewing beneath with a dark spot at the cell-apex. Hindwing in the $ above with separate, 
dark marginal dots. C. tenera. 
2. Fore wing beneath without a spot at the cell-apex. Hindwing in the $ above with a very narrow 
black marginal band. C. serena. 
C. erastus Hew. (<$ = erasmus Ky.) (62 h). Wings of a lemon-coloured (<$) or whitish-yellow ($) 
ground-colour, beneath at the base more or less hired light orange-yellow. Both wings in the above with a 
black marginal band of 3 to 4 mm width, proximally dentate on the forewing, and broad, jet-black costal-marginal 
stripes of the forewing, covering at least the anterior longitudinal halves of the discal cells; in the $ the marginal 
band of the forewing above is shaped like in the <$, that of the hindwing, however, broken up into round mar¬ 
ginal spots, and the costal margin of the forewing is only narrowly dusted blackish-grey. On the under surface 
both wings have separate or almost separate black marginal spots instead of the marginal bands. Ashanti 
to Angola. — ab. $ flaveola Ky. is the name of an aberration of the $, in which the marginal spots of the 
hindwing above are combined to a marginal band of 2 to 3 mm width. Gold Coast and Cameroon. Kirby 
described the normal female form as the $ (!) of flaveola. 
C. unipunctata Baker is unknown to me and may belong to Teriomima. The description runs 
thus: ,,$. Both wings lemon-coloured; forewing with a broadly black apex, the black colour being proximally 
uniformly bent with a small indentation at vein 4, posteriorly reduced and ending at vein 2; hindwing with 
a fine, often interrupted, black marginal line. On the under surface both wings are lighter lemon-coloured 
with a black dot at the cell-apex; on the forewing the black marginal band faintly shows through; costal margin 
and border with fine black dots; hindwing with fine black dots at the ends of the veins. Expanse of wings: 
34 mm.“ Congo District: Makala. 
C. tenera Ky. (rf = limbata Ky.) (62 g, h). Wings of a bright lemon-colour, beneath with black 
marginal spots and an irregular blackish spot at the apex of the discal cell on the forewing. <$. Both wings 
above with a jet-black marginal band of 3 mm width, continued on the forewing at the costal margin to the 
base and almost entirely covering the discal cell. — $. Hindwing above only with separate marginal dots; 
forewing above with a crescentiform marginal band ending at the middle of the costal margin; basal half of 
the costal margin only narrowly dusted black. Cameroon to Gaboon. 
C. serena Ky. (62 h). The $ deviates from tenera $ only by the mark mentioned in the review and 
by very small marginal dots beneath , as well as by a narrower marginal band on the forewing above. <$ unknown. 
Sierra Leone to Kuilu. 
C. similis Ky. (<$ = marginalis Ky.) (62 li). The scarcely deviates above from tenera <$, but both 
wings are beneath dusted black at the margin, the forewing at the costal margin, the hindwing at the proximal 
margin, and there are no distinct marginal spots (only on the fringes there are black spots at the ends of the
