GENERA ol- AFRICAN LYCAFMDAE 



77 



Bethune Baker (1924 : 202) also says " there are but eleven veins on the fore 

 wing ". My personal observation of D. millari agrees completely with the characters 

 given by Trimen in his description of the genus, viz. : fore wing with twelve veins 

 and inner margin basally convex. 



Male genitalia of I), millari (Text-fig. 75). Uncus composed of two subtriangular, apically 

 rounded lobes, separated by a deep depression of the posterior margin and united to the tegumen 

 by a translucid zone ; subunci long, strong, curved, tapering evenly to the apex ; tegumen 

 triangular ; vinculum fairly wide ; lower fultura consisting of a simple fold of the lower edge 

 of the valves which are oblong with rounded apices ; penis elongate, curved, with a slender 

 base, the upper surface bearing at the beginning of the external portion two rounded expansions 

 separated by a longitudinal groove, the apical portion slender and widely open to allow the 

 passage of the vesica ; uncus bearing long, fine hairs ; valves almost bare except the upper 

 process near its apex. 



The male genitalia of D. millari are closely allied to those of Epitola postiut»ius 

 Fabricius. In spite of big differences in venation and external appearance, it seems 

 to me that the genus Deloneura should be included in the Epitolinae.
