Sarangesa bouvieri (Mabille) (Fig. 28, $ genitalia)
Pterygospidea bouvieri Mabille, 1877c: 239 (Gabon). = Antigonus philotimus Plotz, 1879b: 361 (Aburi).
Evans' placement (1937: 47) of motozioides Holland (1892b: 288 [Ogove]) as a synonym of bouvieri was apparently unjustified. Contrary to Evans' citation in the synonymy, motozioides was described from two females which differ markedly from those of bouvieri, as follows: the hyaline spots in space Cui-Cu 2 of the forewings are much larger than in the female of bouvieri and are subtriangular to subquadrate, the hindwings are much more mottled on the upper surface in motozioides, and the brown discal and extradiscal markings of the hindwing under surface are larger and much more prominent in motozioides. On the basis of such marked differences it seems advisable to consider motozioides a separate species, at least until better knowledge is available.
Berger (1962: 451) records bouvieri from Ivory Coast, and Evans (1937: 47) reports it from Ghana to Angola east to Uganda.
Apparently the first Liberian records are: Wanau Forest, 1 8 , VI, 1 $ , X; and Yendamalahoun, 1 S , IV (Fox).
There are also specimens in Carnegie Museum from Cameroon, Gabon, and Uganda.
