Gorgyra pali Evans 1937

Gorgyra pali Evans (Fig. 46, S genitalia)
Gorgyra pali Evans, 1937: 95; pi. 4, fig. 51 (Bitje, Cameroon).
This species was described from Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Congo and Uganda.
This Liberian record is the most northwesterly for the species: Ganta, 1 S , VI (Fox).
This specimen is so dark on the upper surface that the maculation of the primaries is almost obsolete. Whether this is merely an individual variation or a characteristic of the Liberian population cannot be decided from a single specimen. More material is badly needed to determine the systematic position of the Liberian population. There
are comparative specimens in Carnegie Museum from Cameroon and Uganda.

Gorgyra pali, the pale leaf sitter, is a butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. It is found in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Nigeria, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda and western Kenya. The habitat consists of forests.
