. Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History) Entom Supp. A REVISION OF THE ETHIOPIAN DREPANIDAE (LEPIDOPTERA) 165 weakly marked postmedial fascia on the upper surface, and a dark apical area on the under surface. The genitalia of marcus and multiversa are, however, dissimilar and there is probably no particularly close relationship between these two species. There is no significant individual variation in the colour-pattern of the material available for study. The unusually long processes of the eighth abdominal sternum are the most striking feature of the male genitalia (Text-fig. 265).
