GENERA OF AFRICAN LYCAENIDAE 



83 



The genitalia of E. catori are of the same type as those of E. dispar, but the 

 posterior margin of the uncus forms an acute angle apically, the subunci are less 

 swollen medially, and the valves are shorter and wider. 



Epitolina is scarcely distinguishable from Epitola unless by its feeble stature and 

 the longer vein 9 of the fore wings.

Stempfferia Jackson, 1962 : 157. Type-species : Stempfferia carcassoni Jackson, 1962, by

Eyes faintly pubescent ; palpi protruding beyond the frons, black, the second segment late- 

 rally compressed, third segment cylindrical, acuminate ; antennae half as long as fore wing 

 costa, black above, ringed with white below, club slightly swollen ; legs not swollen, fore tarsi of 

 the <J unsegmented, pilose beneath.
