Leptomyrina rabe (Boisduval), see phidias. *Leptomyrina sudanica Stempffer, 1964 : 1285, fig. LEPTOMYRINA (GONATOMYRINA) Aurivillius Gonatomyrina Aurivillius, 1924, in Seitz, Macrolep. World 13 : 422. Type-species : Papilio lara Linnaeus, 1764, by monotypy. Only distinguished from other species of Leptomyrina by the shape of the hind wing in which the filiform tail at vein ib is lacking but, on the other hand, the actual anal angle is produced as a triangular prolongation which forms a kind of broad, blunt tail. The anal lobe is absent. These characters are accentuated in L. gorgias which Aurivillius regarded as a variety of lara. Male genitalia (Text-fig. 152). Similar to those of other species of Leptomyrina ; those of gorgias almost identical with lara. The early stages of Gonatomyrina have been dealt with in the following publica- tions :—Murray, 1935 ; Clark and Dickson, 1944, /. ent. Soc. sth. Afr. 7 : 97 and 1947, 10 : 128 ; Pinhey 1949 : 106. The larvae of lara and gorgias live within the leaves of fleshy plants of the genera Cotyledon, Kalanchoe, Echeveria, Crassula and Mesembryanthemum, feeding on their tissues. It was principally on the characters of larval chaetotaxy that Clark and Dickson specifically separated gorgias and lara (1957, J. ent. Soc. sth. Afr. 20 : 333).
