GENERA OF AFRICAN LYCAENIDAE 



205 



uncus are developed to form two lobes, which are longer in dicksoni, and the valves 

 are elongate, slightly spatulate apically and smooth in outline. 



In 1938 (I.e. : 199) I also figured the genitalia of palaemon and marshalli. In these 

 the terminal margin of the tegumen is deeply concave, the uncus tubercles have 

 become long digitate sclerites, the valves are oblong, massive in marshalli but deeply 

 cleft apically in palaemon, the lower process much longer than the upper one. 



The early stages of lingeus, palaemon and marshalli have been described by Murray 

 (1935 : 148), by Jackson (1937, Trans. R. ent. Soc. Lond. 86 : 230) and by Dickson 

 (1944, J. ent. Soc. sth. Afr. 7 : 96 ; 1945, 8 : 150 ; and 1947, 10 : 127). The 

 caterpillar of lingeus feeds on various species of Labiatae ; those of palemon and 

 marshalli on Geraniaceae. According to Jackson the colour of the caterpillar of 

 lingeus varies considerably and always matches the colour of the species of Labiatae 

 on which it feeds.
