Pangrapta meander Holloway sp. n.
♂, ♀♀ 18-19mm. This species is similar in size and general appearance to holophaeaand the two species following, resembling the former in the more irregular wing margins and in the separated hindwing fasciation. However, the postmedials, though diffuse, broader and with a more meandering, irregular course than in metagonaWalker and the pannosaMoore group (see pannosoides sp. n. below), are nevertheless distinctly double. The general ground colour is also browner as in those two species. The male genitalia are very similar to those of holophaeaexcept the larger cornutus on the longer diverticulum of the aedeagus vesica is not blunt but has an apical thorn. In the female, the ductus bursae is longer and the corpus bursae more spherical.
