Species of the Genus Larinopoda. 265 



have the dusky markings most highly developed, and as we 

 proceed eastwards these are gradually reduced until 

 examples from the Toro Forest have a chalky white ground- 

 colour, a mere suffusion of brownish at f.-w. apex, and only 

 a trace of the h.-w. markings beneath. As an exception 

 there are examples from Sesse I., Uganda, as dark as 

 Western forms. 



The claspers show a structure allied to that in aspidos, 

 but the upper edge is smoother and the spatulate processes 

 less expanded.

The name lagyra is at present applicable to forms of 

 Larinopoda described below, but it would appear that there 

 are in fact three species which are not distinguishable on 

 outward characters.
