Zamarada latilimbata Rebel 

 (Text-figs 17, 18; PL 3, figs 463, 464; PI. 95, fig. 842) 



Zamarada latilimbata Rebel, 1948 : 59. LECTOTYPE §, Egypt (NM, Vienna), here designated 



[examined]. 

 Zamarada latilimbata Rebel; Wiltshire, 1949 : 425, text-fig. no (<$ genitalia), pi. 9, figs 19, 20. 



<J $ (PL 95, fig. 842). Hyaline area of wings evenly irrorate with grey and finely edged 

 distally with dark grey; medial fascia dark grey, ill-defined and sometimes wanting; basal 

 area and non-hyaline terminal area of each wing grey lightly irrorate with buff; dentate 

 subterminal fascia a darker shade of grey; cilia chequered buff and grey. 



£ genitalia (Text-figs 17, 18). Apical half of uncus evenly slender, tip rounded; base of 

 uncus with long setae dorsally. Ventral plate of gnathus bilobate and scobinate. Valve 

 similar to that of minimaria, but acicular projection from dorsal process longer. Fulcrum 

 eight-ninths as long as aedeagus, apical fifth slender and scobinate; aedeagus sclerotized in 

 apical third and tapered with one large and three or four small, tooth-like projections at one 

 side. Vesica with a cluster of four arcuate spines. 



$ genitalia (PI. 3, figs 463, 464). Ostium bursae symmetrical, doubly bilobate posteriorly. 

 Posterior fourth of corpus bursae sclerotized; signum almost semi-circular, edges serrate; 

 ductus seminalis dilate forming globular sac. 



Measurements. Fore wing: specimens from Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Egypt, J io-n 

 mm; O- 10-12 mm. Specimens from Kenya, <J$ 8-9 mm. Antennal pectinations: <J 16 X, 

 9 4 X diameter of shaft. 



Differs from minimaria in its larger size, in the absence of a light yellow medial 

 fascia on each wing and in the antennal pectinations, which are longer in the male 

 and shorter in the female. In the male genitalia latilimbata differs in the slender 

 uncus, in the bilobate ventral plate of the gnathus and in the longer acicular projec- 

 tion from the dorsal process of the valve; further, in the form of the aedeagus and 

 the fewer arcuate cornuti on the vesica. In the female genitalia of latilimbata 

 the form of the ostium bursae and of the corpus bursae are diagnostic. 



Distribution. Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Egypt, Kenya. 



Material examined. 



The two female syntypes on which Rebel based his description of the species 

 are in the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna. They bear the following pin-data.
