REVISION OF GENUS ZAMARADA 33 



9 genitalia (PI. 4, figs 467, 468). Posterior margin of ostium bursae shallowly bilobate. 

 Ductus seminalis dilate. Posterior half of corpus bursae sclerotized and ribbed; signum almost 

 semicircular in shape, the edges minutely serrate. Seventh sternum strongly sclerotized. 



Measurements. Fore wing; $ 9-10 mm, 0- g-n mm. Antennal pectinations: <$ 12 X. 

 5 3 X diameter of shaft. 



Externally closely similar to the nominate subspecies of minimaria Swinhoe, 

 with which it occurs in Yemen. The short, blunt uncus, the form of the ventral 

 plate of the gnathus, the angled dorsal process of the valve and the form of the 

 fulcrum in the male genitalia and the form of the ostium bursae and the strongly 

 sclerotized seventh sternum in the female are diagnostic. 



Distribution. Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Egypt, Sudan, Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria.

Zamarada aureomarginata Pagenstecher 



(Text-figs 25, 26; PI. 5, figs 469, 470; PI. 96, figs 853, 854) 



Zamarada aureomarginata Pagenstecher, 1907 : 95, pi. 6, fig. 6. Holotype $, Madagascar 

 (MNHU, Berlin) [examined]. 



^ 9 (PI- 96, figs 853, 854). Costa and posterior margin of fore wing and non-hyaline 

 terminal third of each wing yellowish grey (pi. 4, B2 ) varyingly irrorate with black; postmedial 

 and subterminal fasciae slenderly and brokenly black edged distally with silvery grey, area 

 between fasciae partly suffused with brownish orange ; discal spot on fore wing silvery grey 

 outlined with black, that on hind wing black and minute. In some male examples the black 

 irroration is dense and extensive. 



<£ genitalia (Text-figs 25, 26). Uncus evenly tapered to rounded tip; base with long setae 

 dorsally. Ventral plate of gnathus weakly sclerotized. Valve with longitudinal setose ridge 

 parallel with dorsal margin, which is one-third as long as the aedeagus; dorsal process of 

 even width, curved apicad. Aedeagus tapered; fulcrum longer than aedeagus, tip curved 

 dorsad through 180 degrees and coarsely spined. Vesica with a cluster of short spines. 



$ genitalia (PI. 5, figs 469, 470). Lamella antevaginalis bilobate posteriorly. Anterior 

 fourth of corpus bursae membranous, remainder ribbed and sclerotized; no signum. 

 Seventh sternum evenly sclerotized. 



Measurements. Fore wing: $ 8 -0-9 -5 mm; 9- 9-10 mm. Antennal pectinations: <§ 10 X, 

 $ 4 X diameter of shaft.
