Mallocampa jaensis is a moth in the family Lasiocampidae. It was described by George Thomas Bethune-Baker in 1927. [1] It is found in Cameroon. [2]
The wingspan is about 86 mm for females and 50 mm for males. The forewings are greyish olive brown, with the base dark for a restricted area, followed by a paler stripe and then by a double irregular angled line. The cell and a small median area are dark brownish grey and there is a white spot at the end of the cell, as well as a postmedian double, irregular, subcrenulate line defining the dark median area. The apex and termen are darkish. The hindwings are uniform sooty brown. [3]
