♂ (holotype)

Calymera nigridiscata Holloway sp. n.

Diagnosis

♂ 16mm. The general coloration is as in fratella, but the forewings have a more rounded apex and more distinct, zig-zag antemedial and postmedial fasciae. There is a large but diffuse discal black spot, with a small orbicular basal to it. The genitalia have an additional lobe just distal to the costal process on an extension of its base. The aedeagus has a relatively small vesica, particularly the distal diverticulum which lacks apical cornuti. These only occur at the base of the ductus ejaculatorius.
