 (coll. Herbulot, Paris). 



Two male specimens from W. Uganda (PL 104, fig. 931), excluded from the 

 type-series, are identical in structure with the holotype, but differ externally in 

 the slightly greater fore wing length (17 mm : 15 mm) and the differently shaped 

 excavation of the non-hyaline terminal area of the hind wing. 



Uganda: Bwamba, v. 1958 (R. Carcasson), 1 $ (BMNH), 1 <J (NMK, Nairobi).
