Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History) Entom Supp. REVISION OF AFRICAN SPECIES OF CLEORA 23 the wings ; specimens from the Knysna localities, Wilderness, Garden of Eden, Sourflats and the Groot River Pass however are paler, the males markedly so, resembling the females in colour. The single example from Camps Bay, Cape Town is also pale ; the examples from Port St. Johns are intermediate. Closely related to betularia, differing externally, especially in the male, in the clear ochraceous buff streaking on the veins on the upper surface of the wings. Structurally the size of the aedeagus in the male genitalia and the pattern of sclerotization of the sterigma and the shape and weak sclerotization of only the posterior third of the bursa copulatrix in the female genitalia are diagnostic. Externally similar in colour and pattern to forms of tnlbaghata and munda ; from these species flavivenata may be clearly separated by the genitalia of both sexes. Distribution (Map 1).
