beneath light orange-yellow with a black clot in 7 and with a black, in the areas 1 b, 3, 6 and 7 white- potted, 
in 4 and 5, however, almost interrupted marginal band only represented by 2 black marginal spots. $ unknown 
to me. Cameroon. - — aliquantuni Ham. Bruce (64 a). The A only deviates from the chief form by the hindwing aliquanlum. 
beneath showing beside the basal dot in 7 also 2 in the cell and one in 1 c. The $ very much deviates from 
the dh forewing above black with a white subapical band and a very large, light brownish-yellow inner- 
marginal spot reaching the base, covering the whole discal cell, the greater part of the areas 1 a to 3 and 
the first third of 4 and 5; beneath as above, but with some white dots at the costal margin and border. 
Hindwing light brownish-yellow, above with a somewhat ii’regular, black marginal band of 2 to 3 mm width, 
beneath with a black dot in 1 c and 2 each in the cell and in 7, at the margin with separate or almost separate 
black spots at the ends of the veins, and in lb, 1 c, 2 and 7 with white submarginal spots bordered to¬ 
wards the base by thick, black bows. Congo District on the Upper Kassai River. 
L. tulliana Smith (65 b). Forewing above blackish-brown with indistinct, anal, reddish discal spots tulliana. 
in 2 to 4, beneath with three black dots in the cell and one in 1 c and close behind the middle with a yellowish 
transverse band of about 3 mm width at the posterior margin, tapering off very much towards the costal margin. 
Hindwing above blackish with black basal dots and an orange-yellow median band almost entirely as in sub- 
variegata, but distally almost rectilinearly defined, beneath greyish-yellow with a blackish-grey marginal band 
and 6 or 7 black dots in the basal part; at the proximal margin of the marginal band there are traces of 
black dots. Beni. 
L. tullia Stgr. <$. Forewing above black without markings, beneath dull black with an irregular, tuUia. 
light reddish-brown, postmedian transverse band appearing narrow and faded in the upper part, in the lower 
part, however, broad and distinct ; 2 or 3 black spots at the base; from the costal margin to vein 3 a posteriorly 
tapering, reddish-brown marginal band traversed by the black veins and a submarginal, black dentate line. 
Hindwing above black with a red-brown median transverse band of 5 to 6 mm width, extending from the proxi¬ 
mal margin to vein 6 and forming also a smaller spot in the area 6; beneath light red-brown with 2 black basal 
dots each in 1 c, 7 and the cell, a similar dot at the cell-apex, a curved row of 7 black postmedian spots, and 
a faded black, antemarginal dentate line. Ctabun. 
L. similis Ky. (63 k). Forewing above black with a large, orange-yellow inner-marginal spot reaching similis. 
the base, of 10 mm width at the posterior margin, covering the whole discal cell or at least its posterior longi¬ 
tudinal half and reaching anteriorly vein 5; beneath almost similar, but with a lighter inner-marginal spot 
almost reaching the costal margin and separating the dark costal-marginal band from the apical spot; the apical 
part is marked as is stated in the review. Hindwing above orange-yellow with a broad, black marginal band, 
at the costal and proximal margins more or less darkened, beneath greyish-yellow with 9 or 10 separate, black 
dots in the basal part and the marginal band replaced by three arcuate lines. Cameroon. 
L. turbata only deviates from similis by the marks mentioned in the review. — In the principal form turbata. 
turbata Ky. (63 k) the black marginal band on the forewing above is only about 1 mm broad in the areas 1 
and 2, and the two proximal dark antemarginal lines on the hindwing beneath are incomplete or broken up into 
spots. Cameroon to the Kuilu River. — intermedia Grunb. only deviates by the black marginal band on the intermedia. 
forewing above being about 2 to 3 mm broad in the areas 1 and 2, the transverse lines on the hindwing beneath 
being coherent. Cameroon and Spanish Guinea. 
L. catalina Smith & K. (63 k). <$. Both wings above black; forewings without markings; hindwing catalina. 
with a short and narrow median stripe extending in the areas 4 and 5 from the apex of the cell towards the 
margin without reaching it, and being about 6 mm long. Wings beneath with a blackish ground-colour; forewing 
in the middle with a transverse row of reddish dots in 2 to 6, 9, of which those in 2 and 3 are larger, with 
whitish dots at the costal margin in 10 to 12 and two rows of indistinct, small, whitish antemarginal lunae. 
Hindwing beneath with 2 red spots in the cell and two in 1 c, of which at least the distal one is pupilled black, 
two antemarginal rows of indistinct, small whitish lunae and often also a similar one in the middle. The $ 
only deviates by the forewing showing on both sides a yellowish-red longitudinal stripe commencing pointedly 
at the base of area 1 b, extending beyond the middle of the areas 2 and 3, and forming also a small spot in 4; 
beneath it is even narrowly continued almost to the costal margin. Sierra Leone to Cameroon. 
L. o-rubrum is distinguished by both wings of the and the hindwings of the $ being above one- 
colourecl black. The under surface is marked almost as in catalina, in the <$, however, without red discal spots 
of the forewings. - — o-rubrum Holl. (= daemon Ham. Druce). Hindwing beneath at the base with 4 red spots, two o-rubrum. 
black-pupilled spots in 1 c, one in the cell and one at the cell-end. In the $ (64 a) the forewing, as in catalina -§, 
shows a red longitudinal stripe which, however, is a little, broader and on both sides connected with the costal 
margin by a transverse row of red spots. Cameroon to the Kassai River. — tripurictata Smith only deviates tripunctata. 
by the absence of the red spot in the discal cell on the hindwing beneath. Kuilu.
