only by the apical spot being smaller, traversed by whitish and indistinctly defined. Hindwing beneath dark 
grey with 6 or 7 irregular transverse lines partly broken up into spots. North East Rhodesia. 
L. undularis Heiv. (63 i). As to this species I refer to the review. The wings, particularly the hindwings, undularis. 
are narrower than in the other species. Niger to Congo. 
L. septistrigata (sic!) Baker is unknown to me, but according to the description it seems to stand bet- septislriga- 
ween undularis and ferrymani. ,,Both wings white. Forewing with a broad dark costal margin and a very ta - 
broad, dark, irregular apical spot commencing at the costal margin opposite the cell-apex and extending to the 
,,third median vein“. Hindwing above only with a fine, dark marginal line from the anal angle to the ,,third 
median vein“. Forewing beneath with a narrow brown stripe along the costal margin of the discal cell and 
behind it with a short, curved brown transverse streak from the costal margin to the median vein; behind this 
transverse streak there is another curved brown transverse band ending near the margin at the median vein 3; 
nearer to the apex is a second, distinctly defined, dark brown, undulate, narrow, submarginal transverse line 
ending at median vein 2; close at the margin a black line interrupted by the veins. Hindwing beneath with 6 
brown transverse lines, 4 of which extend from vein 1 b to the costal margin, the three first ones being parallel 
to each other and the three last ones, too, and with a curved and undulate submarginal line extending from 
the anal angle to the apex and being parallel to the fine marginal line; the third of the three first lines does 
not reach the costal margin, but it ends at the costal margin of the cell, and the sixth ends at the ,,fourth 
median vein“. Fringes white.“ Sierra Leone. 
L. ferrymani Smith & Ky. (63 i). Wings white. Forewing above with a broad black costal-marginal ferrymani. 
stripe covering the base and the anterior longitudinal half of the cell, being expanded behind the cell and 
ending transversely, and with a black, somewhat irregular apical spot separated from the costal-marginal stripe 
by the white ground-colour and reaching vein 2 at the margin. Hindwing above white with a fine black line 
close at the margin and with transverse lines showing through from beneath. Forewing beneath almost as 
above, the marginal band, however, broken up into three subapical bands. Hindwing beneath with 7 distinctly 
prominent, thick, black transverse lines and a black marginal line; veins also black. This beautiful species 
is described according to specimens from Lokoja on the River Niger. 
L. subpunctata Baker is described as follows: ,,Wings above white; forewing from the last quarter subpuncta- 
of the costal margin to vein 3 black, at the base a little tinted with an ochreous yellow, and at the first third 
of the costal margin dark grey; hindwing above at the margin with a band of fine, brown striae. Forewing 
beneath white with a dark transverse line at the apex of the cell; costal margin feebly speckled brown; apical 
part white with three fine, brown transverse lines, the innermost being dentate, curved, and reaching area 4, 
the second reaching vein 4, and the third extending close before the margin to vein 5; fringes as far as vein 
3 black, behind it white. Hindwing beneath light straw-coloured with numerous, light brown markings; the 
base is very thinly, the proximal margin more densely speckled; one dark dot each in 1 c, 7 and the cell; 
a transverse streak at the cell-end; an indistinct, interrupted median transverse line; a postmedian, curved, 
dentate line is interrupted at the veins, and then a fine, undulate submarginal line; fringes white. Expanse 
of wings: 39 mm. Nigeria in the Province of Kabba. 
L. homeyeri Dew. (63 i). Wings on both sides with a light ochreous-yellow ground-colour. Forewing homeyeri. 
above with a black costal-marginal stripe commencing at the base, ending transversely at the cell-apex and 
separated by the yellow ground-colour from the large, black apical spot reaching vein 3. Hindwing above 
unmarked (the spots from beneath distinctly showing through). On the forewing beneath the costal-marginal 
stripe is only represented by black basal spots of the areas 9 to 11, and the apical spot by a broad, black sub- 
apical band extended to vein 4 and by a fine black marginal line extending to vein 2. Hindwing beneath 
with three black dots in 1 c and one each in 1 b, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8 (sometimes also with submarginal spots 
in 1 c to 5) and with a thick, black marginal line. Southern Congo District to Rhodesia. 
Third Group of Species. 
The species of this group very much resemble the Pseuderesia, and have formerly also often been described as 
such. From the genuine Pseuderesia, however, they are always easily discernible by the vein 6 being separate in both wings. 
The 9$ often deviate from the So by the reddish-yellow colour being more extensive particularly above. 
Review of the Species. 
I. Hindwing beneath at least beyond the middle orange-yellow or greyish-yellow, generally with black basal 
and discal dots.
