REVISION OF AFRICAN SPECIES OF CLEORA in 



similar to those of the type series from the island of Socotra and they have been 

 tentatively associated with this subspecies, though excluded from the type series. 

 Distribution (Map 8). Socotra ; ? N. Kenya Coast. 



Holotype J. Socotra : Deneghan, 300 ft., 14. hi. 1953 (G. Popov), genitalia slide 

 Geometridae No. 2194. 



Paratypes : data as holotype, 6 $, 3 $ ; Ahdo Dimellus, 3000 ft., 8-15. ii. 1899 

 (W. R. 0. Grant), 1 <J, 2 $. 



Other material. Kenya : Mombasa Island, 1-7. x. 1903 (F. J. Jackson), 1 $ ; 

 Mombasa, vi.1916 (van Someren), 1 $ ; Diani, 15 mis. S. of Mombasa, iv.1953 (N. 

 Mitton), 1 <$, all in British Museum (Natural History) ; Kenya coast, Shimba Hills, 

 xii.1961 (R. H. Carcasson), 1 $ ; Kenya coast, Gazi Forest, xii.1961 (R. H. Carcasson) 

 1 $, both in Coryndon Museum. 



Cleora rothkirchi insularum ssp. n. 



(PI. 14, figs. 386, 387 ; Map 8) 



o* ?. Differs from the nominate subspecies in both sexes in its smaller size and in the generally 

 more ochraceous colour of the upper surface of the wings (PI. 14, figs. 386, 387). 

 Measurements. $ 30-35 mm. ; $ 33-35 mm. 



Five specimens from the Comoro Islands are provisionally associated with sub- 

 species insularum, but are excluded from the type series. One male from Anjouan, 

 a male from Grande Comore and a male from Moheli agree well with the type series 

 from Madagascar. The female from Mayotte (38 mm. wing-span) is similar to the 

 nominate subspecies and the second male from Anjouan is similar to a small subsp. 

 amy drop a.
