506 Mr. G. T. Bethune-Baker’s note on the genus Euliphyra. 
it varies in the degree of development. Furthermore, in 
these 4 the white patch crossing the fore-wing is larger and 
less clouded over by dark scales in its central part. In 
the hind-wing patch these 4 females exhibit a slight 
approach towards Huliphyra sjdstedti, Aurivillius, described 
from the Cameroons in Ent. Tidskr., 16, p. 204, fig. 13, 
1895, and almost certainly a Southern geographical race 
of EL. marifica. 
A female s7dstedti from Ambriz, Angola, exists in the 
British Museum, and only differs from Lamborn’s 4 females 
in the much greater development of the white patch of the 
hind-wing above: the patch on the fore-wing is similar, 
as also the pattern of the under surface. 
The material described in the present paper seems to 
show beyond any reasonable doubt that at present only 
two species of the genus are known, together with a Southern 
geographical race of one of them. 
Note on the genus Kuliphyra and its allies, 
by G. T. Bethune-Baker. 
This genus has hitherto been placed among the Lipte- 
ninae; it does not however appear to me to have any 
relationship with that sub-family. If indeed it has any 
near connection with another genus, I should with little 
doubt ally it, as Hewitson did, with Lnphyra brassolis, 
Westw. The shape of the wings is very similar,* whilst 
the male armature, though not like that of brassolis, is 
yet nearer to it than to any other species that I know. 
Prof. Poulton, having allowed me to dissect one of the 
Oxford specimens of Huliphyra, has enabled me thus to 
arrive at this conclusion. The clasps are quite small 
proportionately, they are somewhat oval with a longish 
angulated process at the apex. The Saccus (7.e. the 
lowest hindermost basal part of the girdle) is large and 
broad, whilst the girdle is somewhat slight in structure, 
the tegumen and the falces are very large and copious, 
* There is also a remarkable resemblance between certain features 
of the pattern of the hind-wing under surface, and the fact that the 
larvae of both live in the nest of the same species of ant Oecophylla 
smaragdina.—K. B. P.
