Cleora lacrymata sp. n. 



(Text-figs. 51-53 ; PI. 5, figs. 225, 226 ; Map 3) 



o*. Vestiture and wings white, lightly irrorate with bister, apical area of fore wing usually 

 rather more densely irrorate. Antemedial fascia on fore wing and postmedial fasciae on both 

 wings slender and bister ; medial fascia present on hind wing posterior of discal spot, bister, 

 broad and ill-defined ; discal spots on both wings heavily outlined with bister (PL 5, fig. 225). 

 Underside of wings white, suffused and patterned with bister as illustrated (PI. 5, fig. 226). 



o*. Genitalia (Text-figs. 51, 52). Medial plate of gnathus scobinate, rather broader than 

 greatest width of cucullus and with two scobinate arms projecting dorsad, one from each side ; 

 ventral margin of valve and of cucullus sparsely spined ; process arising from sacculus tipped 

 with heavily sclerotized spines varying in number, two on left valve and three on right valve in 

 holotype ; in a topotypical paratype the numbers are five and three respectively and the basal, 

 spinose process is enlarged ; vesica with two cornuti, one slender, tapered and tipped with two 

 spines, one-half as long as aedeagus, the other densely scobinate and one-third as long as aedea- 

 gus. 



$. Similar to male externally. 



$. Genitalia (Text-fig. 53). Sterigma two-thirds as broad as long and well sclerotized ; 

 lamella postvaginalis with a series of concentric, semicircular ridges medially ; colliculum rather 

 longer than broad ; bursa copulatrix cylindrical, anterior third membranous, remainder 

 ribbed and very weakly sclerotized. 



Measurements. $ 40-43 mm. ; $ 43 mm. 



In addition to the variation in the sacculus already mentioned a male from the 

 Central African Republic has thirteen spines on the left side and nine on the right ; 

 a male from Cameroun has a single spine on each side ; a male from Ghana is the 

 converse of the holotype, having two spines on the left side and three on the right. 

 More material might show some correlation between the ornamentation of the 

 sacculus and distribution. 



When seen in a series, the clean white ground colour of the wings, the slender, 

 bister pattern and the ill-defined medial fascia extending posteriorly from the 

 heavily marked discal spots, the species appears distinctive. In the male genitalia
