A REVISION OF THE ETHIOPIAN DREPANIDAE (LEPIDOPTERA) 



165 



weakly marked postmedial fascia on the upper surface, and a dark apical area on the 

 under surface. The genitalia of marcus and multiversa are, however, dissimilar and 

 there is probably no particularly close relationship between these two species. 



There is no significant individual variation in the colour-pattern of the material 

 available for study. 



The unusually long processes of the eighth abdominal sternum are the most 

 striking feature of the male genitalia (Text-fig. 265).
