Cleora pavlitzkiae oriadelpha ssp. n. 



(Text-figs. 131, 132 ; PI. 12, figs. 357, 358 ; Map 6) 



$ $. Variable in pattern, but fairly densely irrorate with fuscous as in the subspecies lamella 

 and etesiae (PI. 12, figs. 357, 358). 



o*. Genitalia (Text-fig. 131). Scobinate medial plate of gnathus as innominate subspecies ; 

 projection from sacculus spatulate and minutely scobinate, apex obtusely incuved one-third as 

 broad as cucullus and with less than one-half of the width extending beyond ventral margin of 

 valve ; two cornuti, one one-third and one five-eighths as long as aedeagus, closely similar in 

 proportion to those of subspecies etesiae. 



$. Genitalia (Text-fig. 132). Lamella postvaginalis shallow, posterior margin with a heavily 

 sclerotized, raised tip medially ; lamella antevaginalis twice as deep as lamella postvaginalis and 

 evenly sclerotized ; colliculum of even width, three times as long as broad, posterior margin 

 sharply defined. 



Measurements. $ 46-50 mm. ; $ 40—45 mm. 



The few known males appear externally distinct in their consistently large size, a 

 not unexpected character in view of the high elevation at which they occur. 

 Structurally the shape of the projection from the cucullus and the proportions of 

 the cornuti in the male genitalia and the form of the sterigma in the female genitalia 

 are diagnostic. 



Probably confined to the high ground of the Mau Escarpment. Two specimens 

 labelled " Nakuru, bred " suggest an area of overlap between subspecies lamella 

 and subspecies oriadelpha ; there is, however, no additional data to indicate either 

 the elevation or the precise source of the early stages from which these adults were 

 reared. Since Nakuru is so close to the south-eastern extremity of the Mau 

 Escarpment, it is possible that the early stages came from that region. 



Distribution (Map 6). Kenya, Mau Escarpment.

Cleora pavlitzkiae saltuensis ssp. n. 



(Text-figs. 133-135 ; PI- 12, figs. 359-362 ; Map 6) 



o* $. Externally intermediate in the male between the nominate subspecies and subsp. 

 lamella, being more densely irrorate with bister than in the former, but not so darkly coloured as 

 the latter ; veins interruptedly but prominently warm buff to ochraceous orange distad of the 

 postmedial fascia in most examples (PI. 12, figs. 359, 360). The female differs from that of the 

 nominate subspecies in the light, but even fuscous irroration of the upperside of the wings 

 (PI. 12, figs. 361, 362).
