Cleora echinodes sp. n. 

 (Text-figs. 54-56 ; PL 6, figs. 242, 246 ; Map 3) 



(J. Vestiture white to pinkish buff, irrorate with bister. Fore wing white, varyingly suffused 

 with pinkish buff and irrorate with bister ; transverse fasciae bister, sharply defined. Hind 

 wing similar, but pinkish buff suffusion and bister irroration usually greatly reduced proximad of 

 postmedial fascia ; antemedial fascia wanting, discal spots heavily outlined in bister, but 

 definition diffuse (PI. 6, fig. 242). Underside of each wing tilleul buff to light buff, varyingly 

 suffused with pinkish buff to bister except at apex and terminally between veins M3 and Cui 

 (PI. 6, fig. 246). 



6*. Genitalia (Text-figs. 54, 55). Arms of gnathus slender, bearing a scobinate medial plate, 

 incurved medio-ventrally, four-fifths as broad as greatest width of valve ; valve with a coarsely 

 scobinate area, triangular in shape, extending from mid-valve apicad to cucullus and ventrad 

 almost to ventral margin ; process arising from mid-valve almost rhomboid, posterior dorsal 

 corner produced in short, digitate form, slightly asymmetrical, vesica scobinate in apical half 

 and bearing two tapered cornuti fused at base, one one-fifth and one one-fourth as long as 

 aedeagus. 



$. Similar to male externally. 



$. Genitalia (Text-fig. 56). Lamella postvaginalis mitre-shaped ; colliculum twice as long 

 as broad with tapered lateral projections into bursa copulatrix, which is ribbed and weakly 

 sclerotized, except at membranous anterior extremity. 



Measurements. $ 39-42 mm. ; $ 39-40 mm. 



Related to the preceding species, having in the male genitalia a similar, but less 

 extensively developed, broad gnathus ; the scobination on the valve, sparse in 

 lacrymata, is extensively developed ; the process arising from the sacculus is 

 reduced and unadorned but similar in outline to that of lacrymata. 



Externally poorly characterized ; seen in a series, the combination of pinkish buff 

 suffusion and bister pattern of the upperside of the wings and the usually dense 

 brown suffusion of the underside is striking, but individual specimens are more 

 surely determined by the genitalia. The broad, scobinate gnathus, the broad 

 triangular, spined cucullus and the process arising from the sacculus in the male 

 and the shape of the sterigma and colliculum in the female are diagnostic.
