Description
Metarctia priscilla Kiriakoff, 1957
(Figs. 2 D, 3F–G)
Metarctia priscilla Kiriakoff, 1957. Tijds. Entomol. 100(1): 104.
Material examined. 2 3 Mamang River Forest Reserve; 31.VIII. – 04.IX.2006 (ISEA). Distribution. Ghana and Guinea. The species was described from the southern part of Ghana (Bibianaha, 70 miles N.W. of Dimkwa).
Remarks. The type series consists of two males deposited in BMNH. The paratype was collected in Guinea (“N’zérékoré”). M. priscilla (Fig. 3 D), although resembling M. paremphares in colouration, can easily be separated by its larger size. In the genitalia, the phallus is significantly longer and the terminal portion of the valva is shorter (Figs 3 F– G) (gs - S137, ISEA).
