﻿SOME NEW SPECIES OF ZAMARADA. 199 



Victoria Falls, Ehodesia, May 26th, 1911 (L. A. Sabine) ; 

 type in coll. L. B. Prout. A second male from Upper Luangwa, 

 Luwumba Valley, N.E. Ehodesia, 2500-3500 ft., July 21st, 1910 

 (S. A. Neave), in coll. Brit. Mus., may belong to the same 

 species, but the vertex and antennal shaft are pale (the specimen 

 possibly a little faded), and the under side has, at the two broad 

 parts of the fore wing border and the anterior one of the hind 

 wing, blackish proximal markings of which the type shows no 

 indication. 



Although the ground colour of this species, when viewed 

 from above, is nearly as green as that of bathyscaphes, imrimargo, 

 &c., the iridescent reflections are mainly pink and purple, giving 

 it an entirely different aspect on a change in the incidence of 

 the light. 



Zamarada fessa, n. sp. 



(? ? , 24-30 mm. Head, body and wings pale grey with a slight 

 lilacine tinge, more or less speckled with fuscous; the under side of 

 body, with legs, paler and more ochreous, scarcely speckled. 



Fore wing with costal margin ochreous, densely dark-speckled, as 

 far as outer line otherwise hyaline, almost colourless, somewhat less 

 iridescent than in most of the allies ; a distinct black discal dot ; a 

 moderately broad distal border formed of a blend of violet-grey and 

 reddish scales and containing some very slightly darker, redder 

 dentate spots suggesting a very vague and interrupted band before 

 the subterminal, the subterminal itself almost entirely obsolete ; a 

 weakly lunulate-clentate dark line (proxipally ochreous-edged) bounds 

 the distal area, into which the ground colour projects moderately 

 between E^ and M^ ; terminal line more ochreous ; fringe grey. 

 Hind wing similar, excepting the costa. Under surface with the 

 distal border more sombre, more uniform, not bounded by a dark 

 line. 



Selukwe, four males, four females, October, 1911, to January, 

 1912 ; the type (a female) taken October 20th-27th, 1911 ; all in 

 coll. L. B. Prout. 



Zamarada metiioscaphes, n. sp. 



<? , 26 mm. Face, vertex, and antenna ochreous, spotted with 

 blackish fuscous. Palpus ochreous. Abdomen dorsally purple- 

 fuscous, with some ochreous spots. 



Fore wing pale, translucent yellow-green irrorated with scattered 

 fuscous strigula3, more copious at inner margin ; costa to SO ochreous 

 coarsely marked with blackish, especially in proximal half ; discal 

 spot moderately large, purple-blackish ; distal border purple, some- 

 what mixed with reddish ochreous, preceded by a fine, weakly 

 lunulate-dentate black line, the encroachment of the ground colour 

 between E^ and M^ deeper than in transvisaria, Guen., but not so 

 deep as in bathijscajyhes, narrowing the border by slightly more than 

 one-half ; in the middle of the border, interrupted from E^ to M^, 

 runs an acutely dentate pale ochreous subterminal line enclosing 

 proximally some sharply-marked dark pyramids between the veins,
