Chrysotypus vittiferalis (Gaede) comb. n. 

 (PL 4, fig. 9; PL 27, fig. 144; PL 49, figs 281, 282) 



Proterozeuxis vittiferalis Gaede, 1917 : 380. 



Proterozeuxis medjensis Holland, 1920 : 325 (Syn. by Gaede, 1929 : 497). 



Proterozeuxis vittiferalis Gaede, 1929 : 497. 



o*. Wing, 20—22 mm. Vertex and frons dark brown, frons with scales produced into conical 

 tuft, clypeus produced into small blunt cone. Proboscis small. Antennae strongly pectinate. 

 Labial palps with third segment 1/3 length of second. Thorax dark brown. Hind tibia with 

 two pairs of spurs, proximal pair very reduced, not visible through scales. Abdomen brown, 

 lighter coloured on posterior margin of first few tergites. Fore wing, pattern as in PI. 4, fig. 9, 

 yellowish brown with heavy, dark brown reticulations. Veins i? 4 and R & with common stalk. 

 Underside, pattern similar, paler. Hind wing, Sc+Rj^ and Rs free. Pattern and colour as 

 fore wing. 



Genitalia <J (PI. 27, fig. 144). Prominent gnathus arms. Transtilla incomplete. Juxta 

 with two small lateral lobes and two widely expanded lobes at 90 to lateral lobes. 



?. Wing, 22'5 mm. Pattern as in male but less strongly marked reticulations. Antennae 

 bipectinate, pectinations shorter than in male. 



Genitalia $ (PI. 49, figs 281, 282). Ostium broad, lightly covered with spines. 



Discussion. The female specimens from the Cameroon are only tentatively 

 associated with this species, their pattern is much lighter than in the male but this 

 may be sexual dimorphism. The female genitalia are similar to those of splendidus 

 but the wing pattern is distinct. The antennal pectinations in the male are very 

 long, the longest being 10 x as long as broad. In the female (if correctly associated) 

 they are only 4 x or 5 x as long as broad. 



Distribution. Map 5. Ghana; Cameroon; Democratic Republic of the Congo; 

 Sudan; Kenya.
