Kilima-njaro, grassy downs at 5000 feet, June. One male. The single specimen agrees with Trimen's description and with our series of this species. It appears to us to be distinct from L. lysamon, with which Mr. Trimen united his L. gaika in the ' Rhopalocera Africae Australis.' Both species occur in South Africa; but L. lysamon may always be distinguished by the presence of a black spot within the cell of the primaries. 11. CHRYSOPHANUS, sp. ?
