Zamarada consecuta Prout 

 (Text-figs 35, 36; PI. 7, figs 479, 480; PL 96, figs 857, 858) 



Zamarada consecuta Prout, 1922 : 179, pi. 1, fig. 22. Holotype g, Transvaal (TM, Pretoria) 



[examined] . 

 Zamarada consecuta Prout; Janse, 1932 : 142, pi. 2, fig. 15. 



<§ genitalia (Text-figs 35, 36). Uncus acutely tapered, base with long setae dorsally. 

 Ventral plate of gnathus trapezoid, apical margin shallowly incised. Valve simple, apex 

 broadly rounded; dorsal process with smoothly edged, triangular projection at three-fourths. 

 Fulcrum longer than aedeagus, apex spatulate and coarsely scobinate ; aedeagus finely tapered 

 with minute, thorn-like projection at one side near apex. Vesica with a cluster of short 

 spines. 



2 genitalia (PI. 7, figs 479, 480). Sterigma asymmetrical; lamella antevaginalis with 

 finely tapered process extending posteriorly at right side. Posterior third of corpus bursae 

 sclerotized and ribbed; signum stellate. 



Measurements. Fore wing: £ 12-5-15-0 mm; 2 13-5-16-0 mm. Antennal pectinations. 

 cJ 12 X , 2 3 X diameter of shaft. 



Externally closely similar to mesotaenia ; differs in the more even, rather paler 

 irroration of the wings and in the absence of the broad medial fascia from the fore 

 wing (PL 96, figs 857, 858). Structurally the form of the uncus, ventral plate of 

 the gnathus and the dorsal process of the valve in the male genitalia and the form 

 of the asymmetrical sterigma in the female genitalia are diagnostic. 



Distribution. Rhodesia, Transvaal.

^ 2 (PI. 97, figs 859-861). Hyaline area of each wing and buff costa of fore wing irrorate 

 with dark grey and black; postmedial fascia, forming distal border of hyaline area, slender 

 and black edged distally with scattered silvery grey scales. Non-hyaline terminal third 

 of each wing yellowish brown to light brown, varyingly irrorate with black and shades of 

 grey; in the form most commonly represented in the material available for study, the dark 

 irroration is concentrated in the apical third of each wing; subterminal fascia dark grey, 

 dentate and broken, most clearly indicated by the distal edging of silvery grey scales.
