In the commonest form (5 out of 8 caterpillars examined), the pale markings were reduced to a line each side of the epicranial suture and the frons, apart from the outer angle at the base (e.g. 90/36B, Figure 41.3). Another caterpillar (Figure 41.2; 88/17A3) was similar but the colour was browner, and the lateral part of the head was a little paler. Two caterpillars had more strongly developed pale markings. The pale band was relatively well developed in caterpillar 90/72D, running from the vertex to the base of the frons, and about the width of the base of the frons; the base of the epicranial suture, the adfrontal and frontal sutures, the ventral end of the adfrontals and the outer angle of the base of the frons were dark; in addition, laterally, from apex to posterior to stemmata a brown band; clypeus dark brown. Caterpillar 90/67 was intermediate.

The two penultimate instar caterpillars with the more pronounced white central line, produced caterpillars of the commonest final instar form. There did seem to be some link between final instar head markings and the sex of the caterpillars; males were reared from the two pale examples and females from the three dark examples. There was no correlation between head markings of male caterpillars and the form of the left clasper of the adult; the two pale examples produced one male of the common form with two strong spikes, while the other had three smaller spikes.</paragraph>

, so it is possible to attempt to interpret the variable male genitalia in light of the variable caterpillars. The range of variation on the male left claspers of reared specimens was almost as great as that found in the larger sample of field-collected males, i.e. almost the full range of variation was reared. Although the head markings of caterpillars are variable, there was no correlation with the form of the male clasper. On balance the evidence seems to point to a single species in Kakamega Forest, variable in male genitalia and caterpillar head markings, rather than segregated populations of actual or incipient species. Nevertheless the lack of overlap with the genitalia of West African
