Material examined.

Holotype ♂ [circular label with red circle] "Holo- | type", [white label] “südl. M.-Java | Djokjakarta | H.Overbeck", [white label] “M600”, [white label] " Sceliodes | iriocapna Meyr. | det. E. Meyrick.", [white label] " Sceliodes | iriocapna | 1/1 | Meyrick | E.Meyrick det. | in Meyrick Coll.", [white label] "Meyrick Coll. | B.M. 1938-290." (BMNH).

Remarks.

The wing pattern of iriocapna Meyrick, 1938 exhibits none of the features found in Leucinodes . Instead, the fore wings are pale yellow, with a yellowish costa, a dark spot in both outer edges of the cell, and a reddish undulating margin along the termen. The hind wings are of the same pale yellow ground colour, and the anterior half of the termen exhibits a similar margin as found in the fore wings. This wing pattern is common to the genus Deanolis Snellen, 1899, where this species is correctly placed (pers. comm. James E. Hayden).
