Epicampoptera vulvornata Hering, 1934 a : 4°4- 



Diagnosis. <$, $. The shape of the valves and uncus in the male, and the ostial plate of the 

 female genitalia readily distinguish the nominate subspecies from glauca. (See Text-figs. 5-7.) 

 Measurements. Wing : <$. 22-5, 18-0-24-5 mm. (8) ; <j>. 24-5, 23-0-26-0 mm. (10). 



Distribution (Map 1). Known from the Central African Republic, Gabon 

 and the Congo. A single male from Uganda in the Coryndon Museum may prove 

 to belong to this subspecies when more material is available for comparison.
