Calymniops dyrzeloides sp. n. (Plate 2, Figs 31, 44) GG, E, 17mm. The forewings are a slightly more violet grey than in convergens, and the three fasciae run approximately parallel and are gently curved, concave basad. Much of the male hindwing is invested with scent hairs. The female has a dark spot subapically in a similar position to that in some Dyrzela. In the male abdomen the eighth sternite and tergite are narrower than in convergens, the three bands of the sternite approximately parallel rather than convergent distad; the tergite has the distal ‘ring’ part elongated relative to the anterior ‘stalk’. In the genitalia the saccus is longer than in congeners. The valves taper over the apical third, and have a ventrally directed spur at the centre. The aedeagus vesica has a cluster of reversed spines subbasally and finer zones of spining and scobination at the apex. The female genitalia are similar to those of convergens except that corpus bursae is much longer than the appendix bursae, its neck with the distal half straight rather than coiled. Holotype G.
