REVISION OF GENUS ZAMARADA 45 



3000 ft, i. 1924, wet season (T. A. Barns), 1 <$ (BMNH). Zaire (Belgian Congo): 

 Upper Uele dist., Dungu, iv, 1 <J (BMNH). 



Zamarada ordinaria Bethune-Baker 

 (Text-figs 45, 46; PL 10, figs 491, 492; PL 97, figs 865, 866) 



Zamarada ordinaria Bethune-Baker, 1913 : 573. Holotype <$, Angola (BMNH) [examined]. 

 Zamarada medianata Prout, 1915 : 343. Holotype $, Rhodesia (BMNH) [examined]. Syn. n. 

 Zamarada medianata Prout; Janse, 1932 : 135, pi. I, fig. 26. 



(J § (PI. 97, figs 865, 866). Non-hyaline terminal area of each wing greyish orange, very 

 lightly irrorate with yellowish brown and dark brown, in this respect differing from chrysothyra 

 and from amicta; some dark brown to black irroration between veins M 1 and M 3 on each wing, 

 at tornus of fore wing and at anal angle of hind wing. In the hyaline area the medial fascia 

 is present in some examples, curved distally round each discal spot, but ill-defined, yellowish 

 brown to black; discal spots minute and black, without pale centres. 



^ genitalia (Text-figs 45, 46). Closely similar to amicta in the form of the uncus, gnathus and 

 valve, but differing in the form of the projection from the dorsal process of the valve in which 

 the longer serrate margin is equal to and parallel with the middle fourth of the process and the 

 anterior margin is slightly concave; differs also in the apex of the fulcrum, which bears only one 

 or two stout spines. 



$ genitalia (PL 10, figs 491, 492). Closely similar to those of amicta, differing in the form of 

 the sterigma, in which the anterior margin is smooth and straight with a clearly defined, 

 sclerotized fold. 



Measurements. Fore wing: $ io'j-12'omm; $ 12-15 mm. Antennal pectinations: £ 

 12 X , $ 3 X diameter of shaft. 



Distribution. Zaire (Katanga), Rhodesia, Transvaal, Natal, Angola.
