cJCj (PI. 120, fig. 1073). Hyaline area of wings slightly tinged with green, striate with grey 

 in proximal half; costa of fore wing buff, striate with grey, densely in proximal three-fourths; 

 discal spot on fore wing large and dark brown; discocellulars on hind wing very slenderly 

 dark brown or unmarked. Non-hyaline terminal area of wings dark brown (pi. 7, F5) ; broken, 

 dentate subterminal fascia light brown (pi. 6, D7) usually heavily suffused with dark grey 

 to black and edged distally with glossy grey. Underside of non-hyaline terminal area and 

 discal spot on fore wing uniformly greyish brown. 



In some examples the non-hyaline terminal area is paler, brownish orange irrorate with 

 dark brown, between vein M 3 and the anal angle. 



In the male the long hair scales of the coremata, often extruded from the tip of the abdomen, 

 are buff. The femur is fringed with long, buff hair-scales and the tibia dilate with a tuft of 

 long, buff hair-scales. 



<J genitalia (Text-figs 384, 385). Ventral plate of gnathus semi-circular and scobinate. 

 Valves asymmetrical, but equal in length; dorsal margin of left valve serrate apicad and 

 incurved towards uncus. Fulcrum usually slender and extending a little beyond apex of 

 aedeagus, apical fourth coarsely scobinate; in some examples the apical area of the fulcrum 

 is broadened. Vesica ornamented with a slender, scobinate band. 



5 genitalia (PI. 80, figs 773, 774). Ductus bursae sclerotized and longitudinally ribbed; 

 operculum at right hand side of sterigma; lamella antevaginalis with an almost square, 

 sclerotized plate extending anteriorly. 



Measurements. Fore wing: $ 18-20 mm; 15-18 mm. Antennal pectinations: <$ 7 x , 

 $ 6 X diameter of shaft. 



Distinguished from other species in the perlepidata-gvoup by colour and pattern; 

 from collarti by the absence of a well developed discal spot on the hind wing. 

 Distinguished in the male from similarly patterned species in the reflexaria-group 

 by the presence of a fringe of long, buff hair-scales on the femur. In the genitalia 

 the form of the asymmetrical valves in the male and the form of the sterigma in 

 the female are diagnostic. 



Distribution. Ivory Coast, Cameroun, Zaire, Uganda, W. Kenya.
