REVISION OF GENUS ZAMARADA 47 



extending anteriorly to form an ill-defined medial fascia, and finely edged distally with pale 

 yellow, then black and silvery grey; costa of fore wing pale yellow irrorate with brown and 

 grey; discal spot on fore wing silvery grey, black-ringed, that on hind wing black and minute. 

 Basal area of fore wing brownish grey irrorate with dark brown, that of hind wing dark brown. 

 Non-hyaline terminal area of each wing brownish grey with dark brown to black interneural 

 spots or streaks between veins R t -M 3 and between Cu lb -2A on fore wing and between M t -M 3 

 on hind wing; subterminal fascia silvery grey edged proximally with yellowish brown interneural 

 spots. 



^ genitalia (Text-figs 49, 50). Uncus and valve similar to those of amicta. Ventral plate of 

 gnathus broader than that of amicta, the apex tapered and the surface minutely scobinate. 

 Projection from dorsal process of valve triangular, apex narrowly rounded, the edges smooth. 

 Fulcrum one and one-eighth times as long as aedeagus; apex dilate and heavily spined. 

 Aedeagus lightly serrate at one side just below apex. 



9. genitalia (PI. 11, figs 495, 496). Sterigma asymmetrical with two broad plates at right- 

 hand side, one dorsal, one ventral; anterior margin smooth, slightly concave with 2-3 folds just 

 posterior of it. Signum large, equal in diameter to width of ductus bursa, and stellate. 



Measurements. Fore wing: ^ io^-n'O mm; $ U'O-n-jmm. Antennal pectinations: 

 ^ 12 X , $ 3 x diameter of shaft. 



Externally similar to chrysothyra and to some examples of amicta and pidverosa 

 Warren, though neither chrysothyra nor amicta is yet known from southern Africa. 

 The males of erugata may be distinguished by the simple hind tibia, lacking the 

 dilation and hair-pencil of those species and in the genitalia by the form of the 

 projection from the dorsal process of the valve and the broad, heavily spined apex 

 of the fulcrum. In the female genitalia the form of the sterigma and the large 

 stellate signum are diagonistic.

 Cape Province.
