Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History) Entom Supp. GENERA OF AFRICAN LYCAENIDAE n The male genitalia of T. carnuta (Text-fig. 5), as Bethune Baker (1914 : 319) has already pointed out, are far removed from those of the true Telipnas. Tegumen and subunci similar to these parts in species of Alaena ; valves directly united to the tergal portion of the vinculum, of which the sternal part is lacking ; the valves, to use Bethune Baker's expression, are shaped like a ham in which the knuckle end is deeply divided at its extremity ; they are joined together close to their bases by a broad chitinous band at their upper edges, and by a narrower band at their lower edges, the latter band bearing also a long tapering process which is directed caudad. Penis robust, slightly curved, tapering uniformly to the obliquely truncate apex ; vesica armed with strong spines. The early stages of T. consanguinea Rebel and T. sanguinea depuncta Talbot have been noted by T. H. E. Jackson (1937, Trans. R. ent. Soc. Lond. 86 : 205). The larvae feed on lichens and mosses on the bark of trees. List of Species of Telipna *Telipna acraea acraea (Doubleday & Hewitson), 1852. Telipna acraea nigra Suffert, 1904, Dt. ent.
