Coeliades libeon Druce 1875

Coeliades libeon (Herbert Druce) (Fig. 11, $ genitalia)
Ismene libeon Herbert Druce, 1875: 416 (Angola).
— Ismene unicolor Mabille. 1877a: 39 (Congo).
= Ismene andonginis Plotz, 1884a: 60 (Pungo Andongo).
= Ismene brussauxi Mabille, 1890b: 221 (French Congo).
The male and female genitalia are both quite distinctive, especially as regards the palmate, anterior extension of the juxta in the male as shown in our figure, a feature unique among the African Hesperiidae. This feature, characteristic as it is, is not shown in Evans' (1937: pi. 8) figure of the male genitalia. This skipper is apparently abundant and widely distributed, being recorded from Ivory Coast (Berger, 1962: 448) to Kenya and south to Transvaal and Natal (Evans, 1937: 12).
Liberian records, apparently the first, are: Harbel, 1 $ , 1 2,1 (Fox).
In addition to the Liberian pair there are also specimens in Carnegie Museum from Cameroon, Gabon, the Congo, Uganda, Nyasaland and Southern Rhodesia.
