REVISION OF AFRICAN SPECIES OF CLEORA 



97 



Only one specimen, a female, shows any marked variation in pattern ; the bister 

 irroration on the upper surface of the wings is reduced, the antemedial fascia on 

 the fore wing and the postmedial fascia on each wing are broad and heavily marked. 

 This example is similar in appearance to the form of the nominate subspecies 

 illustrated on PI. 12, fig. 353. 



The incurved, spatulate and minutely scobinate projection of the sacculus and the 

 proportionately shorter cornuti in the male genitalia and the strongly sclerotized 

 margin of the lamella antevaginalis in the female genitalia are diagnostic.
