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.
