Types in my collection. 
This species I at first thought to be a local form of L. 
lunulata, Trimen, but the advent of more specimens which 
are very constant in their markings makes me more than 
doubtful of it. The area and the tone of blue differ, the 
latter very considerably, though this is less important than 
the former; the pattern and general appearance of the 
undersurface is markedly diverse, and could be separated 
at a glance from the very pronounced underside of 
Trimen’s species, of which I have a good series, and of 
which a very large number have passed through my 
hands. It is certainly close to lunnlata^ and apparently 
replaces that species in the Bihe District. Mr. Neave 
thinks this may be the dry-season form of L. hinulata, but 
my specimens from Angola show a distinct modification 
of the genitalia; the harpagines are not excavated to 
nearly so great an extent; the falces are decidedly more 
slender, and the penis sheath is broader at the back and 
decidedly more slender in the front. The genitalia com¬ 
pared are fully as large as each other, which points to the 
modifications mentioned being more than merely indi¬ 
vidual differences.

^. Upper wings bright sub-lustrous mauve blue ; primaries with 
blue restricted to cell and fold, secondaries to about vein 5 to 6, 
termen very broadly brown with a fine scalloped interrupting sub¬ 
terminal line. Underside brownish grey with pattern large for the 
size of the insect. In the primaries the postraedian stripe is com¬ 
posed of four pair of confluent spots, the second pair projected well 
outwards, third pair inwards touching the cell spot, fourth pair well 
inwards to beloAv and rather beyond the cell spot. The same pattern 
obtains in the secondaries, and there is a prominent round sub-basal
