and Cameroon specimens represent a different subspecies from the Congo-Uganda 

 specimens, but the differences are not large and further specimens are needed. 

 Externally this species has a similar pattern to some of the species in Chrysotypus 

 but the genitalia are distinct.

Nemea ankole sp. n. 



(PI. 18, figs 94; PI. 43, fig. 241) 



o*. Wing, 13 mm. Vertex dark brown. Frons dark brown, rounded, not projecting be- 

 tween eyes. Labial palps with third segment 1/2 length of second segment, upturned, reaching 

 vertex. Prothorax and patagia black, rest of thorax brown. Hind tibia with outer spur of 

 distal pair 2/3 length of inner spur. All spurs with sclerotized points. Fore wing, pattern as 

 in PL 18, fig. 94, "granular" grey-brown with slightly purplish iridescence. Median fascia 

 darker brown. Underside with slight purple iridescence, dark coloured, median fascia less 

 distinct than upperside. Radial veins from cell. Hind wing, colour and pattern as fore wing. 

 Sc+Ri and Rs approach but do not join. 



Genitalia q* (PI. 43, fig- 241). Uncus simple. Gnathus with long median process. Median 

 basal area of valve lightly sclerotized. Juxta, two oval, lightly sclerotized lobes. Aedeagus 

 with spiny vesica. 



$. Unknown. 



Discussion. This species is distinct from the others in the genus and does not 

 appear to be closely related to them. The pattern shows some similarities to N. 

 tamsi but this species lacks the long median process to the gnathus. The position 

 of ankole in the genus Nemea is only tentative, particularly in the absence of in- 

 formation from female specimens.
