Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History) Entom Supp. GENERA OF AFRICAN LYCAENIDAE 205 uncus are developed to form two lobes, which are longer in dicksoni, and the valves are elongate, slightly spatulate apically and smooth in outline. In 1938 ( : 199) I also figured the genitalia of palaemon and marshalli. In these the terminal margin of the tegumen is deeply concave, the uncus tubercles have become long digitate sclerites, the valves are oblong, massive in marshalli but deeply cleft apically in palaemon, the lower process much longer than the upper one. The early stages of lingeus, palaemon and marshalli have been described by Murray (1935 : 148), by Jackson (1937, Trans. R. ent. Soc. Lond. 86 : 230) and by Dickson (1944, J. ent. Soc. sth. Afr. 7 : 96 ; 1945, 8 : 150 ; and 1947, 10 : 127). The caterpillar of lingeus feeds on various species of Labiatae ; those of palemon and marshalli on Geraniaceae. According to Jackson the colour of the caterpillar of lingeus varies considerably and always matches the colour of the species of Labiatae on which it feeds. 284.
