Species of the Genus Larinopoda. 261 



In the Tring Museum there is a remarkable form of 

 Jiermansi labelled " Tambura, S. Bahr el Ghazal," in which 

 the dark borders, though greyer, are much extended. That 

 of the costa reaches to the subcostal, and the apical darken- 

 ing, though barely reaching the hind angle, is 8 mm. wide at 

 apex. The h.-w. hind-marginal border is 3 mm. wide, and 

 above shows little indentation. Beneath, the h.-w. shows 

 no trace of submarginal spots, and the usual rounded spot 

 in 6 is merged in the dark border. This is the only example 

 I have seen from this locality, and curiously enough there 

 is also one example of lircaea lircaea bearing the same 

 label, and it is quite typical, though if anything with rather 

 less black at f.-w. apex. It would be interesting to have 

 more specimens from this locality. The armature of the 

 Jiermansi form is the same as in the other examples. The 

 lircaea form is a female. When Druce described his 

 Larinopoda sp^ima he added that it might be a form of 

 lircaea, though he does not give any reason for the sugges- 

 tion. I have not found in collections any examples of 

 lircaea from locahties agreeing with those of spuma and 

 hermansi except the two specimens from Bahr el Ghazal 

 above mentioned. The armatures of lircaea and hermansi 

 are not distinguishable from each other or from that of 

 spuma, though easily recognised as different from those of 

 the other described species, and I am satisfied that these 

 three forms are specifically identical. 



lircaea f. innocentia. 



Described as resembling Strand's malcomensis, but differing from 

 all other forms of lircaea in the smallness of f.-w. costal sjjot and the 

 spots in h.-w. Ic and 6. All other markings absent.
