Gegenes hottentota Latreille 1827

[Gegenes hottentota (Latreille)]
Hesperia hottentota Latreille, 1823 [1819-1823]: 777 (Cape of Good Hope). =Pamphila obumbrata Trimen, 1891: 103; pi. 9, fig. 23 (Ehanda, Angola). = Gegenes hottentota ocra Evans, 1937: 190 (Dordrecht, Cape of Good Hope).
The subspecies ocra cannot be valid if one accepts the concept of non-overlapping subspecies. Throughout its range, as defined in the original description, ocra is in contact with typical hottentota. It is likely that ocra represents a seasonal form and, as such, the name is not worthy of retention.
This species has not been reported from Liberia, though Evans (1937: 189) mentions specimens from "W. Afr. (Gambia to Cameroons)", indicating that it probably occurs in Liberia.
