PHYLLOXIPHIA; LIKOMA. By Dr. M. Bering. 
v.) 
fulgurans (63 e), farther distally another line which remains rather straight and shows a pale outer edge, beyond 
it a double brown dot. Margin straight, in the centre convex, apex somewhat projecting. Marginal area in 
the shaded with brown. Hindwing in the $ grey, with traces of a double discal line, in the $ cinnamon- 
brown without lines. Expanse: 50—60 mm. Southern Abyssinia. 
25. Genus: Pliylloxiphia R. u. J. 
Very closely allied to Polyptychus, tornus of fore wing very much rounded, the apex falciformly produced, 
also in the hindwing the anal angle is not produced. Eyes at the posterior edge with a large hair-pencil. 
Ph. oberthueri R. <P J. (64 a). Body olive-brown, abdomen towards the end whitish. Forewing lighter than oberthueri. 
the thorax, washed over with cinnamon-colour, with very faint traces of 3 parallel transverse lines, particularly 
towards the interior margin, and 2 undulating transverse lines distally to the cell. An almost straight slanting 
line from the apex to the lower margin of the cell, along wdiich it is continued to the base; this line is thin, 
posteriorly edged with a paler colour, thus recalling the mid-rib of a leaf. Veins: finely edged with pale. Stigma 
black; interior margin basally with a triangular spot. Hindwing as dark as the thorax, the costal and anal 
margin as well as the anterior part of the termen creamy-white. $ unknown. Cameroon. [The $ of this species 
may be Libyoclanis hollandi Clark 1]. 
Ph. formosa Schultze (64 b) probably does not belong to this genus, since the interior angle of the formosa. 
forewing distinctly projects a little; but the apex as in oberthueri. Forewing cinnamon-brown, with 5 shadowy 
darker indistinct transverse bands. The oblique streak from the apex is above somewhat undulating, extending 
to % of vein 4, below straight to vein 3; marginal area distally to this oblique streak more greyish. Interior 
margin at the base with a brownish-red hair-tuft. Hindwing brownish-red, anal margin ochreous; termen 
beginning from the tornus, anteriorly narrowed, dark brownish. Cameroon. 
26. Genus: Xjycospliiiifigii! R. u. J. 
Hind tibiae only with terminal spurs, middle tibiae with thorns, anterior tibiae not ending in a thorn, 
apex of forewing extended into a long lobe. Pulvillus and paronychium present. 
L. hamata Dwtz. (64 b). $ similar to the $, but with a large subbasal spot, from the discal line, towards hamata. 
the margin, not so uniformly darkened. The spot at the interior margin before the anal angle more distinctly 
prominent. Hindwing with a distinct median and postmedian transverse line. Both wings narrower, the apices 
more projecting. West Africa: Chinchoxo, Gold Coast, Togo. 
L. hollandi Clark (64 b). Apex projecting, but not so lobately produced, interior angle more projecting, hollandi. 
Palpi orange-red, head yellow. Body above brown, beneath orange-red. Forewing brown, dusted with purple, 
with a large brown subbasal spot and a white stigma, a brown oblique band from % of the costal margin to 
the tornus, towards the margin two more bands which are bent and united to the inner margin, and two brown 
costal-marginal spots before the apex. Hindwing red-brown, anal margin light brown, at the anal angle an 
oblong brown spot. Expanse: 60 mm. Cameroon. 
27. Genus: Typiiosia R. u. J. 
Separated from the preceding genus by exhibiting, as in Pliylloxiphin, at the posterior edge of the eyes 
a hair-pencil which is turned in front and covers half the eye. 
T. illustris R. & J. Forewing brownish cream-coloured, shaded with loam-colour, with olive brown illustris. 
transverse lines: a double line crossing the cell at the origin of vein 2, two parallel lines in the disc, dentate 
on veins 2 and 3, a streak from veins 3—4 forming the rest of a third discal line, a uniformly curved line from 
the apex to vein 5, from there continued straight across the posterior cell-angle to the costal margin, not far 
from the base. Hindwing brownish-red, the costal and anal margins whitish, the latter being a little continued 
at the termen; fringes brown, Ashanti. 
28. Genus: DJfltoimi R. u. J. 
Middle tibiae spined, posterior tibiae only with terminal spurs, anterior tibiae not ending in a thorn. 
Forewing without a produced apex. In the hindwing veins 6 and 7 not or short-stalked, the distal margin of 
the forewing dentate. Paronychium with 1 or 2 lobes on each side. 
L. apicalis R. & J. (64 c). Body and wings dull pinkish brown, shaded with dark brown. Forewing apicalis. 
with blackish brown, pale-edged lines: 2 rather straight ones in the basal half; in the disc 2, the first being 
straight, the second with a strong distal projection; parallel to the latter an indistinct postdiscal one; marginal 
area behind it and a double inner-marginal spot at the tornus chocolate-coloured. Stigma small and white. 
Ground-colour of hindwing similar to that of forewing, with 3 transverse lines, marginal area also here darker, 
particularly at the tornus. British Central Africa. In this psecies the paronychium exhibits on each side but 
one appendage.
