LIPTENA. By Dr. C. Aurivillius. 
pcrobscura. L. perobscura Ham. Bruce (63 g, h). Forewing above, entirely as in L. libyssa, black with a large, 
white spot of the posterior margin, reaching vein 5 and covering the posterior longitudinal half of the discal 
cell; beneath white with a small black discal dot, two curved transverse rows of dark dots behind the cell com¬ 
posed of 3 or 4 dots each in 4 to 6, and two fine, black antemarginal lines from the costal margin to vein 2. 
Hindwing white with a small black discal dot, besides above with two thick submarginal lines combined in 
5 and 6, and beneath with three basal dots in 1 c, 7 and the cell, a curved transverse row of 6 discal dots in 
1 c to 6 and with two fine black antemarginal lines. Cameroon: Bitje. 
fatima. L. fatima Ky. (63 li). Both wings white, at the base yellowish with a black discal dot, and beneath 
close before the margin with a fine black marginal line which, however, ends on the forewing in area 3. Fore wing 
above with a black apical spot 6 to 7 mm broad at the costal margin, ending transversely at vein 4 and proxi- 
mally indented angularly. Cameroon to the Kuilu River. 
alluaudi. L. alluaudi Mab. (= augusta Suff.) (63 h). We may only add to what has been said in the review, 
that the costal margin of the fore wing is narrowly darkened at the base and that also the forewing beneath 
shows close before the margin a fine, black line reaching, however, vein 3 at most. Ivory Coast to Cameroon. 
albicans. L. albicans Cator (63 h) only deviates from alluaudi by the marks stated in the review. Sierra Leone. 
,,It generally flies high up between the trees“. 
decipiens. L. decipiens Ky. (63 h). Wings white, beneath somewhat yellowish; hindwings unmarked; forewing 
above with a large black apical spot 6 mm broad at the costal margin, ending obtusely in area 2 and reaching 
at the costal margin the base as a narrow stripe, beneath with black fringes as far as vein 3 and with traces 
of a black submarginal line in 5 to 7. Cameroon to Congo. 
xanthostola. L. xanthostola Holl. ( = xantha Smith) (63 h). Both wings above and beneath yellow; apical spot 
of the forewing as in decipiens-, hindwing on both sides at the anal angle with a black line close before the 
margin. Ogowe River to Uganda. 
bolivar I. L. bolivari Kheil is unknown to me, but according to the description it only deviates from xanthostola 
by the smaller apical sj)ot of the forewing. Spanish Guinea. 
cvanescens. L. evanescens Ky. (62 i). Both wings light cream-coloured without markings; costal margin of the 
forewing narrowly blackish; fringes reddish. Cameroon. 
immaculata. L. immaculata Stgr. scarcely differs from evanescens and only by the mark stated in the review. Ogowe. 
subundula- L. subundularis Stgr. (63 li). Wings white; forewing above with a large, black apical spot extending 
ris - at the costal margin to the base and at the margin to vein 2, beneath at the apex with two brown, shortened 
submarginal lines and a black one close at the margin. Hindwing beneath with 4 fine, brown transverse lines, 
the first of which only extends from 1 c to the apex of the discal cell, and with a black line at the margin. 
Cameroon to Ogowe. 
j lav leans. L. flavicans Smith d- Ky. (63 i). To the marks stated in the review we may only add that the fore¬ 
wing beneath shows a broad, black costal-marginal stripe ending transversely close behind the cell-apex, before 
the apex two broad, dark transverse bands between the costal margin and vein 5, as well as a black line close at 
the margin. Cameroon at the Barombi Station. 
praestans. L. praestans Smith is smaller than flavicans, but larger than undina, between which species it also 
stands with respect to the marking on the hindwing beneath; the transverse lines are thicker and darker 
than in undina, but not so thick as in flavicans. Both wings above brownish-yellow; forewing with a broad 
black costal margin and apex, and narrowly black at the margin from vein 3 to the anal angle; hindwing with 
a dark marginal band of about 2 mm width, parted by a yellow line. Forewing beneath almost as above, but 
with light spots at the costal margin and light antemarginal transverse lines; the dark marginal band reaches 
vein 2 at most. Hindwing beneath with a light yellow ground-colour and 7 dark, thick transverse lines. Sierra 
Leone. 
undina. L. undina Smith d- Ky. (63 k) is above entirely similar to L. xanthostola ; on the under surface 
the forewing has two curved, brown transverse lines before the apex, and the hindwing 7 yellowish-brown 
transverse lines (comp, the review). Kuilu River. 
eukrines. L. eukrines Ham. Druce (63 i). Both wings above orange-yellow; forewing with a black costal-marginal 
stripe ending at the apex of the cell and entirely separated from the black apical spot by the ground-colour; 
the apical spot reaches behind only vein 4, where it ends broad; behind it only a fine marginal line; hinclwing 
above without any other markings but a fine dark marginal line. Forewing beneath almost as above, differing
