500 Mr. G. T. Bethune-Baker’s Notes on Lycaenidae 
In this species neither wing is angulated in the middle 
of the termen as in vininga, this difference being specially 
marked in the secondaries. 
See also pp. 447—450. 
Aslauga bella, sp. n. 
[2] Both wings grey with slight pale blue suffusions. Primaries 
dark brownish grey with a bright pale basal blue suffusion extending 
nearly to the end of the cell and about half way along the inner 
margin, an oval whitish spot at the end of the cell intersected by 
a black dash on the disco-cellulars : below this and extending to the 
inner margin is a suffusion of lavender grey scales adjoining the 
blue colour, this grey extends for a further quarter of the radial 
area leaving the terminal quarter dark brownish grey. Secondaries 
pale brownish grey with a slight suffusion of blue scales in the 
cell and about half way across the wing but getting less plentiful 
on the outward area, in both wings this suffusion does not invade 
the costa above the upper margin of the cell. Fringes white of 
the secondaries, but only tipped with white near the apex of the 
primaries. 
Underside. Both wings creamy white irrorated sparingly all 
over with chocolate brown. Primaries with a limited apical area of 
pale chocolate brown, an oblique pale chocolate stripe becoming 
double from the apex to vein 2 where it terminates abruptly, a 
similar single stripe in the secondaries from the middle of the costa 
to the inner margin terminating at a third from the base. 
Expanse 44 mm. 
Type in the Oxford Museum from Oni, near Lagos. 
The pupa was found by Mr. W. A. Lamborn in the forest 
14 miles E. of Oni, on June 30, 1912, the imago, No. 848, 
emerging July 5. 
I am unable to decide which sex this specimen is; the 
palpi and fore-legs incline me to believe that it is a male, 
but the size of the abdomen and its terminal segment 
look like a female. The abdomen and thorax in both 
sexes of all species of this genus are very robust, whilst 
it appears to me that each sex can use its fore-legs for 
walking. I hope Mr. Lamborn will be able to verify this 
when he returns again. 
[Mr. Eltringham has now dissected the terminal seg- 
ments, and there is no doubt that the specimen is a 
female. |
