‘collected by W. A. Lamborn in the Lagos district. 503 
finely with black on each side, a broadish duller orange submarginal 
stripe starting from the apex and tapering gradually into a narrow 
dark line by the upper black anal spot below which it is curved 
and the orange colour re-appears and runs up to vein la touching 
the other orange stripe at that point, the least trace of a fine dark 
marginal line, termen finely black nearly up to the apex, the lobe 
spot and that between veins 2 and 3 deep black the latter margined 
internally with orange the former with a trace of a few bluish and 
orange fine scales. 
Q. Both wings brown. Primaries somewhat of an orange tone 
to beyond the cell whence it becomes sooty brown. Secondaries 
slightly orange brown for the basal half then becoming of a sooty 
hue, markings as in the male. Underside of both wings like the 
male. 
Expanse ¢ 34, 2 36 mm. 
Hab. Lagos, Sierra Leone, Cameroons. 
Types in the Oxford Museum from Oni, near Lagos. 
Mr. Lamborn has bred the larvae of this species, which 
appears to be constant. I have it from the Cameroons 
and from Sierra Leone. It is not unlikely that it has 
been mixed up with hatita, Hew., and with antifaunus, 
Doubl. and Hew. It is not unlike the latter on its upper 
surface, but is similar to the former below. 
See also p. 473. 
Triclema lucretilis, Hew. 
The female of this species has not yet been recorded, 
and it is very interesting to know that Mr. Lamborn has 
bred both sexes at Oni. I now add a description of the 
female. 
9. Both wings sooty black (not deep black as in the 3), all the 
spots showing through in the same positions as in the male but 
not encircled with blue. Primaries, the subterminal series of blue 
spots in the ¢ are creamy whitish in the 9. Secondaries, the blue 
subterminal line in the ¢ is replaced more strongly by a creamy line 
in the 9. 
Underside. Similar to the g, but with all the white lines and 
spots more accentuated.
