134. Amblypodia (?) Leroma. 



Arhopala (?) Leroma, Wallgr., Lep. Rhop. Caffr., p. 42. 

 " Exp. 1 in. 2 lin. (nearly). 



" Pale-fuscous, glistening in parts. Fore-wing : a faint- 

 fuscous spot at end of discoidal cell. Hind-wing : traces of 

 a clay-coloured spot at anal angle. UNDER-SIDE. Clay- 

 coloured, hind-wing more griseous. Fore-wing : two black 

 spots in cell marked with dull - silvery ; a silvery line, 

 black-edged on both sides, closes cell ; near costa two 

 silvery, not black-edged, spots ; beyond cell, a double curved 

 row of variously-shaped black spots, placed at equal distances 

 between nervules ; on hind-margin, a double series of very 

 obsolete fuscous lineolae not silver-marked. Hind-wing : at 

 base of cell, a very minute fuscous spot ; some very obsolete 

 fuscous rings ; beyond cell, a row of lunular lines, its lower 

 extremity consisting of paler, very obsolete spots ; beyond 

 this row another, equally obsolete, but marked with dull- 

 silvery ; thence, on disc, some silvery scales ; at anal angle a 

 black spot. Cilia whitish above, of the ground-colour 

 beneath." 



Wallengren further states that this insect has the " eyes 

 smooth, palpi long and porrect (as in Myrina), antennae 

 without perceptible club ; wings shaped as in Thecla, the 

 hind-wings tailed."

Genus SITHON. 

 Sithon, Hubn. 



IMAGO. Head rather broad : eyes pilose ; palpi smaller 

 and more slender than in Amblypodia, the terminal joint 

 very thin, longer in ? than in $ ; antenna long, ringed 

 with white, with a well-defined, stout, cylindrical club' 

 Thorax very stout in . Fore-wings produced apically: 

 anal angle rather prominent, rounded ; in $ , an inner- 

 marginal tuft of hairs, as in lolaus. Hind-wings produced 

 in anal angular region, the angle itself very prominently 

 lobed : a linear tail on third, and a slight projection on 

 second, median nervule ; inner-margins forming a pretty 

 complete groove ; in , a smooth shining circular space as 

 in lolaus, but not so conspicuous. Legs thick : fore-tarsi of 

 much atrophied. 



This Genus forms a good link between Lyctena and 

 lolaus : from the former it is distinguished by the lobe on
