Anthene abruptus is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. It is found in Cameroon. [2]
In Seitz it is described- Upper surface agreeing with that of larydas Cr. (71 h); on the forewing beneath in larydas the white marginal line of the first basal double spot is distally almost rectilinear, proximally beginning from the middle bent inwards; in abrupta the proximal line terminates on the median vein, the distal line forming a small bow distally somewhat above the median vein and ending on this vein; the whole lower part of the basal spot is thus absent; the central spot between vein 1 and vein 2 is in bordered with white like the others, in abrupta there is only a brown, pointed spot without a light marginal line; the marginal spot following then between vein 1 and vein 2 is in abrupta not bordered proximally, but only separated from the central spot by the light ground-colour; hindwing like in larydas. Expanse of wings: 25 mm.Described according to a single specimen. As the only difference between this form and larydas is the formation of the spots in area 1 b on the forewing beneath, we may suspect it to have been founded upon an abnormal specimen in which the development of the marking of this area has been impeded. Cameroon, in the Yaunde District. [3]

Oboronia albicosta is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. It is found in Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda and Zambia. In Seitz it is described - Forewing only at the base feebly dusted with dark, at the distal margin somewhat broader black than pseudopunctatus, more like punctatus. On the hindwing the marginal band is as broad as in punctatus, but the white rings in it are only indistinctly pronounced. Beneath on both wings the black eyespots with white rings are more distinct than in punctatus. On the hindwing all the marginal spots are black, not only that in area 2, which shows blue scales, like in punctatus. The costal margin of the hindwing lacks the spot,and there are only traces noticeable of submarginal yellow lines at the proximal margin and between R 4 and R. 6. Expanse of wings: 30 mm.

The under surface is very similar to that of ''L. larydas, but it is remarkably distinguished from it by the costal margin of the forewing being white at the base and the oblique white line beside it, as well as by the two eye-spots at the margin of the hindwing being inwards bordered with orange Forewing 13 to 14 mm. Cameroon, near Victoria. — Although the description is insufficient for ascertaining the species, I am still convinced that it must be identical either with L. lachares or lysicles.This question can only be solved by examining the typical specimen in the Greifswald Museum. Bethune-Baker wrongly translated the description of the and thereby made it unintelligible.
