of Pinus patula, Eucalyptus cloesiana and E. grandis (saligna) in March and 

 November. 



Distribution (Map g). Transvaal, Louis Trichardt. 



Holotype $• South Africa : Entabeni, nr. Louis Trichardt, ex pupa 3.viii.ig62, 

 Div. of Entomology, S. Africa ; genitalia slide Geometridae No. 5242. 



Paratypes : Entabeni, nr. Louis Trichardt, 30.iii.1962, 1 $ ; data as holotype 

 1 <J, 3 $• 



Cleora ace rata sp. n. 



(Text-fig. 43 ; PI. 5, figs. 223, 224 ; Map 9) 



cJ. Vestiture vinaceous buff, densely irrorate with fuscous black ; crest of first abdominal 

 tergite white. Fore wing vinaceous buff, densely irrorate and patterned with fuscous black ; 

 sub-basal and antemedial fasciae fused in some examples to form band ; veins ochraceous buff, 

 colour sometimes suffusing posterior half of wing. Mind wing white anteriorly, vinaceous buff 

 posteriorly, densely irrorate and patterned with fuscous black ; medial and postmedial fasciae 

 sometimes fused posterior of distal spot (PI. 5, fig. 223). Underside white ; fuscous black 

 pattern of upper side marked in iron grey, but ill-defined (PI. 5, fig. 224). 



o*. Genitalia. Arm of sacculus similar to that of preceding species, rasp-like, straight and 

 parallel with margin of valve, but separated from short, basal, digitate process by semicircular 

 excavation ; aedeagus not scobinate at apex ; no cornutus. 



?. Similar to male externally. 



?. Genitalia (Text-fig. 43). Sclerotized lamella postvaginalis in form of an irregular 

 transverse band of almost even width ; colliculum weakly sclerotized, length equal to width ; 

 bursa copulatrix membranous, weakly ribbed posteriorly. 



Measurements. o* 39-44 mm. ; $ 42-44 mm. 



Closely related to the preceding species and externally similar to the darker forms 

 of herbuloti phaea ; distinguished structurally in the male by the shape of the 

 excavation in the sacculus and the absence of cornuti ; distinguished in the female 

 by the sclerotized pattern of the lamella postvaginalis and the shorter, weaker 

 colliculum.
