APPENDIX 
I. Notes on Lycaenidae collected by W. A. Lamborn in the 
Lagos district of West Africa with descriptions of new 
species. By G. T. BeTHuNnE-Baxer, Pres. Ent. Soc. 
Aslauga vininga, Hew. 
The Lagos form of the Q of this species is darker than 
that from Sierra Leone, the central radial portion of the 
primaries and a small central patch in the secondaries 
being dull ochreous, whereas the greater portion of the 
primaries and a large part of the secondaries in those from 
Sierra Leone is ochreous. There is no doubt that marginata, 
Plétz, is a Q synonym of this insect : specimens thought 
to be males are females, and I have been quite unable to 
trace the existence of a yellow male. 
For observations on the life-history see pp. 446-7. 
Aslauga lamborni, sp. n. 
g. Both wings deep steel blue, bluer than in vininga. Primaries 
with costa to the cell black, apex and termen broadly black the latter 
tapering rapidly to a fine edge at the inner margin. Secondaries 
with costa black-margined by the cell and vein 7, but extending 
slightly over vein 7 at the apex. 
Underside. Both wings lavender grey sparingly irrorated more 
or less all over with blackish scales, a slightly paler dash marks the 
disco-cellulars in each wing. Secondaries with the termen broadly 
pale lavender grey to vein 6 above which there is a small patch 
of dark scales. 
9. Both wings uniformly dark brown. Primaries somewhat less 
dark in the radial area, but this may be due to the specimen not 
being absolutely fresh. Under surface: both wings pinkish brown 
with subterminal broadish indefinite dark bands, in the secondaries 
these are more strongly emphasised below vein 7. 
Expanse ¢ 40, 2 37 mm. 
Types in the Oxford Museum from Oni, near Lagos, 
also in my collection from Sierra Leone. For the ¢ type 
see p. 447. The 2 type was taken 11 a.m., Aug. 27, 1911, 
resting on the top of a green leaf, in the forest 200 yards 
from the edge of Oni Clearing.
