REVISION OF AFRICAN SPECIES OF CLEORA

the wings ; specimens from the Knysna localities, Wilderness, Garden of Eden, 

 Sourflats and the Groot River Pass however are paler, the males markedly so, 

 resembling the females in colour. The single example from Camps Bay, Cape Town 

 is also pale ; the examples from Port St. Johns are intermediate. 



Closely related to betularia, differing externally, especially in the male, in the 

 clear ochraceous buff streaking on the veins on the upper surface of the wings. 

 Structurally the size of the aedeagus in the male genitalia and the pattern of 

 sclerotization of the sterigma and the shape and weak sclerotization of only the 

 posterior third of the bursa copulatrix in the female genitalia are diagnostic. 

 Externally similar in colour and pattern to forms of tnlbaghata and munda ; from 

 these species flavivenata may be clearly separated by the genitalia of both sexes. 



Distribution (Map 1). South Africa, Cape Province.
