LARINOPODA. By Dr. C, Atirivillius. 
vein 4, and at the costal margin with the same spots as above. Hindwing above unmarked, beneath only with 
8 black dots, one each in 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and the cell and two in 1 c. It was described to originate from Gaboon; 
this statement, however, is probably wrong and the species in fact occurs in East Africa. 
puellaris. T. puellaris Trim, only differs from puella by the marks mentioned above and is perhaps only a race 
of it. Manicaland. 
micra. T. micra Smith is a small species of an expanse of only 21 mm, with an orange-yellow ground¬ 
colour. Hindwing above unmarked; forewing above with some indistinct, small dark spots at the costal margin, 
and a black marginal band reaching in one sex vein 3 and ending pointedly behind, whilst in the othe^ sex 
(9?) it only forms a small apical spot ending at vein 5. Forewing beneath only with some small, indistinct 
streaks at the costal margin and before the apex ; hindwing beneath with numerous, fine, dark, paired transverse 
lines at the base and in the middle, and at the margin with a submarginal line formed of bows. British East 
Africa, on the Tana River. 
T. aslauga is a variable species, varying according to the localities and seasons (?). The forms enu¬ 
merated here were formerly considered as separate species; but as they are very closely allied, I take them to 
hildegarda. be forms of one species. —- In hildegarda Ky. (= freya Smith dr Ky .) (62 i) both wings above have a joint, black 
marginal band of 2 to 5 mm width; the ground-colour above is golden-yellow or orange-yellow, and the forewing 
at the costal margin broadly black or spotted black; beneath both wings are blackish with distinctly prominent 
orange-yellow spots and a curved spot of about 5 mm width on the posterior margin of the forewing. It is appa- 
aslauga. rently the form of the rainy period and occurs from Angola to British East Africa. ■— aslauga Trim. (62 e) has 
above an orange-yellow ground-colour and deviates from hildegarda by the marginal band of the hindwing 
being absent ($) or very narrow, and by the marginal band of the forewing ending pointedly behind and not 
reaching the anal angle in the $; under surface with a somewhat lighter ground-colour, otherwise as in hilde- 
imllida. gar da. Natal to British East Africa. — In pallida Trim, the ground-colour above is of a lighter yellow and the 
black markings are still more reduced; the marginal band of the hindwing is entirely absent and that'of the 
forewing is narrower and shorter; on the hindwing beneath the ground-colour is in the $ lighter grey and in 
the $ light reddish-yellow with very indistinct spots. Mashuna Land to British East Africa. 
11. Genus: I^arinopo<la Btlr. 
The Larinopoda are rather large (32 to 34 mm), broadly winged Liptenins, of a white ground-colour 
and with black markings. Legs ochreous-yellow with black-curled tarsi. The forewing above shows a black 
apical spot or a dark marginal band and beneath always a dark spot at the costal margin opposite the apex 
of the cell. The hind wing beneath exhibits a black dot in area 1 c near the rise of vein 2 and generally also 
such a dot in area 6. The margin of the forewing is convex, sometimes posteriorly convex. In the structure 
of the veins Larinopoda approximates the genus Liptena, but it is distinguished by the posterior angle of the 
discal cell being very much extended, whereby the apex of the cell is Ibroadlv and obliquely cut off. 
The sexes are nearly alike; the however, are recognizable by the two penultimate ventral joints 
of the abdomen being very much swollen hemispherically. 
Review of the Species. 
I. Hindwing beneath without a black dot in the discal cell. 
A. Hindwing above unicolorously white without markings, beneath without a marginal band or marginal 
spots, but with a black basal dot in 1 c and at least one black submarginal dot (in area 6). 
a. The black apical spot of the forewing above is 2 mm broad at most and is continued only to vein 
3 as a black marginal line. L. lircaea. 
(3. The black apical spot of the forewing above is at least 5 to 6 mm broad and continued at least to 
vein 2 as a broad marginal band. L. lagyra. 
B. Hindwing at least beneath with a dark marginal band or dark marginal spots. The apex and margin 
of the forewing above at least as far as vein 2 broadly black. 
a. Hindwing beneath without a black inner-marginal band. 
*. Marginal band of the hindwing almost broken up into spots or proximally dentate.
