Description The status of this form is not clear. Laurent divides his large series from Virunga N. P. into a ”facies kuligae”, with an hourglass pattern very similar to H. kuligae from Cameroun and Uganda, and a ”facies langi” which is similar to the type of langi, and outside the variation of the Cameronese H. kuligae.
