REVISION OF AFRICAN SPECIES OF CLEORA 39 



In the nominate subspecies, from W. Kivu and W. Uganda, the process is slender 

 and only the apical fifth of the rasp-like surface is turned ventrad. In specimens 

 from Kenya, the arm of the sacculus is shorter and broader and the apical third of 

 the rasp-like surface is turned ventrad ; the genitalia of the single male from Angola 

 are similar. In specimens from Tanzania, Malawi and Cape Province the arm of 

 the sacculus is slender and the rasp-like surface is turned ventrad for almost the 

 whole length. In the single male from Mt. Cameroon the arm of the sacculus is 

 intermediate in form between that of the nominate subspecies and that of the 

 Angolan male and the vesica bears three cornuti. There is also some degree of 

 variation in the stoutness of the aedeagus and of the cornuti ; in examples from 

 Kenya, Angola, Malawi and Cape Province the aedeagus is scobinate apicad on the 

 dorsal surface. Until adequate series are available all material, with the exception 

 of the series of subsp. phaea, has been listed under the nominate subspecies. 



The well developed arm of the sacculus has a setose digitate basal process similar 

 to that found in acaciaria, prosema and epiclithra. Externally the colour and 

 pattern and structurally the partially scobinate apical area of the aedeagus in some 

 examples and the short cornuti on the vesica are closely similar to oculata ; the 

 female genitalia, however, lack the strongly developed ductus bursae of that species. 



The excurvation of the arm of the sacculus, between the digitate basal process 

 and the rasp-like apical part in the male genitalia and the form of the sclerotization 

 of the lamella postvaginalis in the female genitalia are specifically diagnostic.

 (Leopoldville) ; Uganda ; Kenya ; Tanzania ; Malawi; Rhodesia ; Transvaal ;

Cleora herbuloti herbuloti (Fletcher) 

 (PL 5, figs. 215-218 ; Map 9) 



cJ. Vestiture white, irrorate with cinnamon brown ; abdomen irrorate with fuscous. 

 Wings white, irrorate with cinnamon brown, densely proximad of antemedial fascia and in 

 apical area of fore wing and around discal spot and proximad of postmedial fascia on hind wing ; 

 elsewhere very sparsely ; antemedial fascia on fore wdng and postmedial fascia on each wing 

 slender and cinnamon brown (PI. 5, figs. 216, 217). Underside of wings white, patterned with 

 fuscous (PL 5, fig. 218). 



$. Differs from male in the even and denser, darker irroration of the wings with bister and 

 fuscous. 



Measurements. 6* 36-45 mm. ; $ 38-45 mm. 



In three male examples, one from Ibadan, Nigeria, one from Rwankwi in Kivu 

 Province, Congo (Leopoldville) and one from between Nanyuki and Meru, Kenya, 

 the upperside of the hind wing, proximad of the postmedial fascia, is suffused with 

 cinnamon brown (PL 5, fig. 215). In the male from Mt. Mlanje, Malawi and a 

 female from Mt. Selinda, Rhodesia both fore and hind wings are similarly suffused 

 distad of the postmedial fasciae ; the basal and apical areas of the fore wings are 

 fuscous. The second female from Mt. Selinda has the remainder of both wings 

 fuscous black.
