Title :

A study of the genitalia of Precis actia (Distant), 1880 and Precis pelarga (Fabricius), 1775 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

Abstract :

The diagnostic character based on the position of a dot in a light coloured patch on the forewing is quantified for each male specimen in a short series of Precis actia and Precis pelarga from Zambia.  A study of the male genitalia reveals an additional diagnostic character, which correlates well with the quantified dot-position character.   This additional character is proposed as a more definitive means of separating the two very similar species.
