GENERA OF AFRICAN LYCAENIDAE 39 



A specimen which I believe to be referable to limbata, because of its faintly orange 

 colour, has genitalia exactly like those of marginalis. 



Citrinophila terias (Text-fig. 30) has armature in which the dorsum and the valves 

 resemble the corresponding parts in marginalis but the distal part of the penis is only 

 very slightly recurved. 



In Citrinophila unipunctata (Text-fig. 28) the dorsum is very different from that of 

 the preceding species : the uncus is formed of two long finger-like processes with 

 rounded apices, and there is a lanceolate process fused at the base of the uncus and 

 directed anteriorly ; subunci lacking ; tegumen much reduced ; vinculum broad 

 with faintly indicated saccus ; valves like those of marginalis ; penis feebly curved ; 

 uncus and valves pilose. 



Citrinophila erastus (Text-fig. 31). Uncus composed of four short processes, those 

 of the median pair divergent from the median line, the lateral pair with a shallow 

 apical cavity ; subunci lacking ; tegumen lozenge-shaped ; vinculum rather 

 broad ; valves oblong, the upper process terminating in a stout tooth ; penis 

 short, curved, vesica bearing stout cornuti. Uncus and lower margin and apices 

 of the valves pilose. 



It is apparent that the unci in the four species described above are of very 

 different types. The genus Citrinophila is thus not very homogeneous, and the 

 similarities of the facies of the included species may be the result of convergent 

 evolution.
