REVISION OF AFRICAN SPECIES OF CLEORA 77 



lightly and minutely scobinate on one surface just apicad of middle, the shorter one usually 

 smooth, but occasionally one or two adpressed spines are situate mid-way along one surface. 



$. Upper surface of wings differs in reduction of darker irroration and in better definition of 

 pattern, especially of the cinnamon transverse bands (PI. 10, fig. 311). Under surface less 

 suffused and pattern more sharply defined (PI. 10, fig. 312). 



$. Genitalia (Text-fig. 101). Lamella antevaginalis semicircular ; lamella postvaginalis 

 with angular projection medio-dorsally ; colliculum twice as long as broad, posterior margin 

 sharply defined ; anterior third of bursa copulatrix ovate and membranous, remainder ribbed 

 and sclerotized. 



Measurements. $ $ 32-40 mm. 



Variation in the degree and extent of the dark irroration on the upperside of the 

 wings occurs in the male ; in one female the hind wing, proximad of the medial 

 fascia, and the posterior half of the medial area of the fore wing are suffused with 

 fuscous, comparable with tulbaghata ab.fnmata. Structurally the form of the female 

 genitalia suggest an affinity with the preceding species, lamottei. Weakly irrorate 

 specimens are externally distinct, especially the females, in their small size and in 

 their cinnamon to pinkish cinnamon transverse bands. Structurally the shape of 

 the sacculus in the male genitalia and that of the sterigma in the female genitalia 

 are diagnostic.
