In a series of ten specimens from Kigonsera in S. W. Tanzania which resembles the female 

 of seydeli (PI. 113, fig. 1021), the non-hyaline terminal area is greyish orange (pi. 5, B3) 

 irrorate with a very pale reddish grey; the subterminal fascia is weakly indicated with sparse 

 brown scaling. In this form the underside of the non-hyaline terminal area is weakly marked 

 greyish orange without dark suffusion. 



Forms similar to the type and to the pale Kigonsera series together with intermediate forms 

 are represented from Elisabethville. 



(J genitalia (Text-figs 292, 293). Tip of uncus beak-like and produced ventrad. Ventral 

 plate of gnathus shallow, semi-circular and scobinate. Dorsal margin of valve sclerotized, 

 apical area scobinate and tipped with a short spine; dorsal process with broad, setose 

 projection in basal third. Apical fifth of aedeagus slender and tapered; a small, digitate 

 projection from four-fifths. Apex of fulcrum finely tapered and extending beyond tip of 

 aedeagus, apical area scobinate. 



$ genitalia (PI. 62, figs 698, 699). Posterior margin of lamella antevaginalis curved, 

 minutely serrate and incised medially, the depth of the incision varying individually; posterior 

 margin of lamella postvaginalis crenulate with a strongly sclerotized U-shaped incision 

 medially. 



Measurements. Fore wing: <$ n-o— 13-5 mm; $ 10-15 mm. Antennal pectinations: 

 6* 9 X . $ 3 X diameter of shaft. 



Well marked examples are readily identified by colour and pattern; weakly 

 marked examples may be distinguished from similarly coloured glareosa Bastelberger 

 by the deeper intrusion of the hyaline area into the patterned terminal third of 

 each wing and by the smaller discal spots. In the male genitalia the form of the 

 valve with its spine-tipped, scobinate, apical area and the form of the aedeagus 

 and in the female genitalia the form of the sterigma are diagnostic. 



Distribution. Eastern Africa, Kenya to Natal; Angola.
