Hypolamprus janenschi (Gaede) comb. n. 

 (PI. 15, figs 75, 76; PL 39, fig. 216; PL 62, fig. 382) 



Canaea janenschi Gaede, 191 7 : 378. 

 Canaea janenschi Gaede; Gaede, 1929 : 495. 



o*. Wing, 11 mm. Vertex dark brown, frons dark brown, rounded, not projecting beyond 

 eyes. Antennae strongly monopectinate. Labial palps with third segment 1/3 length of 

 second, upturned, reaching to vertex. Patagia dark brown. Prothorax and tegulae black, 

 meso- and meta-thorax dark brown. Hind tibia with outer spur of distal pair 1/2 length of 

 inner spur. Fore wing, pattern as in PI. 15, fig. 75, blackish brown. Terminal margin incised 

 below apex, basal and median areas black, slightly lighter on posterior margins. Subterminal 

 area light brown with fine reticulations. Underside, paler, median dark fascia narrowing 

 posteriorly and similar, but paler, basal fascia. Hind wing without dark areas of fore wing, 

 light brown, with darker reticulations and median dark spot and fringes. Underside similar. 



Genitalia q* (PI- 39. n g- 216). Uncus simple, broad. Gnathus arms weakly sclerotized. 

 Valve simple, with small, sclerotized, basal process. Juxta two, small, round lobes, covered 

 with hairs. Tegumen with lightly sclerotized rod forming loop in median position. Aedeagus 

 with spined vesica. 



$. Wing, 10 mm. Antennae minute ciliate. Apex of fore wing pointed (PI. 15, fig. 76). 

 Fringe with scales black at base, white at apex. Terminal margin incised below apex of fore 

 wing. Costal margin dark, anterior part of median and basal areas blackish, rest of wing light 

 brown with darker reticulations. Underside paler, median area with dark patch near anterior 

 margin, smaller one in basal area. 



Genitalia $ (PI. 62, fig. 382). Anal papillae short. Duct of bursa long with small sclero- 

 tized part near ostium. Two spiny patches in bursa, each with inward pointing process which is 

 covered with spines. 



Discussion. Only three specimens of this species have been examined but the 

 pattern is characteristic. There are slight differences between the type and the 

 male from Ghana, this could be subspecific. The signa in the female are smaller 

 than those of other species of the genus.

o". Wing, 9-1 3*5 mm. Vertex dark brown, tuft of scales round base of antennae. Frons 

 rounded. Antennae strongly monopectinate. Labial palps upturned, not reaching vertex, 

 third segment 1/3 length of second. Thorax brown. Hind tibia with inner spur of distal pair 

 more than 1/2 length of outer spur. Fore wing, pattern as in PI. 16, fig. 79, reddish brown 

 with pale grey-brown median fascia and pale grey-brown costal margin with white patches.

 simple, median basal process lightly sclerotized. Juxta two rather square lateral lobes. 

 Aedeagus with minute spines on vesica. 



?. Wing, 12*5 mm. Colour and pattern as male. Labial palps with third segment 1/2 

 length of second. Antennae minutely ciliate.
