Lyclene pseudobunda Holloway sp. n.
♂♂, ♀♀ 8-9mm. The facies is as in pudibunda, but the hindwing lacks a medial band. The male genitalia have only three cornuti (two opposite one) in the vesica rather than a row of five or more opposite a single one; the valve lacks a central angle to the sacculus but has a complex round flap in the centre just dorsal to the sacculus. In the female the ductus is longer, with a deep cleft in the ostium.
