Hypolamprus distrinctus sp. n. 



(PL 15, fig. 77; PL 39, fig. 215; PL 61, figs 379-38i) 



o*. Wing, IC5-11 mm. Vertex brown, frons flattened between eyes. Labial palps with 

 third segment 1/3 length of second, upturned, not reaching vertex. Hind tibia with longest 

 proximal spur almost reaching tip of shortest distal spur, outer spur of distal pair 1/2 length 

 of inner spur. Longest distal spur as long as first hind tarsal segment. Hind tarsi with one 

 or two small spines in median position, last hind tarsal segment with three spines. Fore wing, 

 pattern as in PL 15, fig. 77, dark purplish brown with black transverse lines. Basal area paler. 

 Underside brown, darker brown patch over apex of cell. All radial veins from cell. Hind 

 wing, colour and pattern as fore wing, Sc+R x and Rs approach closely but do not join. 



Genitalia <J (PL 39, fig. 215). Uncus simple. Gnathus a weakly sclerotized loop. Valves 

 simple, basal process weakly sclerotized, covered with small spines. Membrane near transtilla 

 covered with small spines. Juxta, two lateral lobes with long spines and teeth on inner edge. 

 Aedeagus with few small spines on manica. 



9. Wing, 11-12 mm. Colour and pattern as male. Labial palps longer than male, reaching 

 vertex. 



Genitalia $ (PL 61, figs 379-381). Anal papillae short. Duct covered with minute spines, 

 first part of duct sclerotized. Two large thorn-like signa in bursa. 



Discussion. There is some variation in the colour, two of the Ugandan and the 

 Cameroon specimens are paler than the others but usually this is a very dark brown 

 species. H. distrinctus is related to H. quaesitus but can be separated from this 

 species by the lack of the silvery grey fascia on the wings, and the wings are broader 

 in distrinctus than in quaesitus. The wing pattern of distrinctus is similar to 

 curvifluus but the latter is a smaller and paler coloured species.
