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).
