reduced to short, setose, digitate processes in the male genitalia and the shape of the 

 bursa copulatrix and development of the sterigma in the female genitalia relate 

 legrasi closely to the preceding species, rostella. The straighter uncus, the very long 

 setae on the cucullus, the lack of a process on the ventral margin of the sacculus in 

 the male genitalia and the pattern of sclerotization of the sterigma in the female 

 genitalia are diagnostic.

Cleora angustivalvis (Herbulot) comb. n. 

 (Text-figs. 108-110 ; PI. 10, figs. 321-324 ; Map 5) 



Neocleora angustivalvis Herbulot, 1965 : 121. 



o*. First abdominal segment white, remainder of vestiture white, irrorate with bister ; 

 patagia edged with bister. Wings white, irrorate with drab and bister and patterned with 

 bister (PI. 10, fig. 321). Underside white, patterned with fuscous (PI. 10, fig. 322). 



c?. Genitalia (Text-figs. 108, 109). Uncus stout and blunt to tip, which is slender and depressed ; 

 scobinate medial plate of gnathus narrowly rounded and produced ventrad ; apex of juxta 

 Y-shaped, smoothly sclerotized ; cucullus with normal short setae, ventral edge with four setose, 

 tubercle-like projections ; sacculus weakly developed and without projecting process ; short, 

 setose, digitate processes arise near mid-valve, two on right valve, four on left valve, but prob- 

 ably varying in number individually, vesica with two tapered cornuti fused at base, one one-half 

 and one slightly longer than one-half as long as aedeagus. 



$. Differs from male in sparse irroration and more conspicuous patches of bister distad of 

 postmedial fascia on fore wing, the larger extending from costa to vein M±, the smaller between 

 veins M% and Cu± ; veins on both wings interruptedly warm buff distad of postmedial fascia 

 (PI. 10, fig. 323). Underside differs in the reduction of fuscous pattern, especially on hind wing 

 (PL 10, fig. 324). 



$. Genitalia (Text-fig. no). Sterigma weakly developed ; lamella postvaginalis sclerotized 

 in mitre-shaped pattern ; colliculum tapering anteriorly, three times as long as mean width ; 

 slightly more than posterior half of bursa copulatrix weakly sclerotized and ribbed, remainder 

 membranous. 



Measurements : o* 35 mm. ; $ 38-44 mm.
