[Borbo micans (Holland)]
Parnara micans Holland, 1896: 63; pi. 3, fig. 19 (Ogove).
This, the most distinctive species in the genus, has not been recorded from Liberia but it is to be expected since Evans (1937: 182183) reports specimens from Sierra Leone and Ghana, and Berger (1962: 462) records it from Ivory Coast. No other Borbo has such a golden sheen to the upper surface as micans, and if found in Liberia it will be easily recognized.
