Zamarada aclys sp. n. 



(Text-figs 141, 142; PI. 104, fig. 935) 



£ (PI. 104, fig. 935). Hyaline area of wings green, sharply edged distally with dark brown 

 and then more diffusely with glossy grey; costa of fore wing, hind margin of each wing light 

 brown, the former densely irrorate with glossy grey; subcostal vein on hind wing dark grey 

 from base to distal end of cell; discal spots dark grey, minute; excavation of non-hyaline 

 terminal area slender and distinctively shaped, straight-edged posteriorly along vein Cu lb . 

 Non-hyaline terminal area, extending proximad for one-third of costal margin on fore wing and 

 to one-half of costal margin on hind wing and to one-half of hind margin of each wing, coppery 

 brown (pi. 6, D8) sparsely irrorate with dark brown; dentate subterminal fascia brownish orange 

 (pi. 6, C8) finely edged distally with light buff; cilia chequered buff and grey. Underside of 

 non-hyaline terminal area similar in colour to that of corymbophora. 



Male hind tibia dilate with tuft of buff hair-scales. 



$ genitalia (Text-figs 141, 142). Distinguished from closely similar corymbophora by the 

 more slender apical half of the valve; the apex of the ventral margin is angular, that of the 

 dorsal margin is more slenderly produced and beak-like. Distinguished further by the form of 

 the aedeagus; a tapered, blade-like projection, one-third as long as the aedeagus, arises at one- 

 half and the vesica bears a stout, tapered cornutus. 



Cj unknown. 



Measurements. Fore wing: $ 14-15 mm. Antennal pectinations: <$ 12 X diameter of shaft. 



Distinguished externally from corymbophora and from other rather similarly 

 coloured species in the excavata-gr oup by the very distinctive shape of the hyaline 

 area of the wings. 



Distribution. Cameroun, Gabon.

Zamarada thalia Oberthur 

 (Text-figs 143, 144; PI. 104, fig. 927) 



Zamarada thalia Oberthur, 1912 : 258, 350, pi. 152, fig. 1459. Holotype <$, Cameroun 



(BMNH) [examined]. 

 [Epione transvisaria Guenee sensu Oberthur, 191 2 : pi. 152, fig. 1454. Misidentification.] 



(J (PI. 104, fig. 927). Hyaline area of wings dull yellow to greyish yellow slenderly edged 

 distally with dark brown and silvery grey. Non-hyaline terminal area of wings brown suffused 

 with brownish grey proximally; dentate subterminal fascia dark brown edged distally with 

 silvery grey, direct from costa to vein M 3 on fore wing. Underside of non-hyaline terminal 

 area of wings dark brown. 



Male hind leg: coxa with a pocket of deciduous buff scales on dorsal surface; tibia grossly 

 dilate with dense tuft of buff and greyish brown hair-scales in longitudinal pocket.
