GENERA OF AFRICAN LYCAENIDAE 



161 



The male genitalia of aderna spindasoides are identical to those of adema aderna. 

 Those of loxura and leonina (Text-fig. 144) are slightly different, but of the same type. 

 I have not been able to examine eustorgia, of which only the female holotype is 

 known. 



The armatures of the three species of Lipaphnaeus examined are remote from those 

 of Spindasis, but, on the other hand very close to those of Chloroselas and Desmoly- 

 caena. Their general appearance is similarly different from Spindasis. I conclude 

 that Lipaphnaeus is a distinct, valid genus, not a subgenus.
