22 (20) Finely tapered apex of valve curved through 00 degrees towards uncus. 

 Short cornutus spatulate and diagonally truncate. Distal margin of hyaline 

 area on fore wing straight from costa to posterior margin, that on hind 

 wing acutely angled terminad between vein M a and anal margin miranda (p. 123) 

 - Finely tapered apex of valve inclined towards uncus. Short cornutus thorn- 



like, base scobinate at one side. Distal margin of hyaline area of each wing 

 roundly bowed terminad between veins M 3 and Cw lb . . cautela (p. 123) 



Zamarada protrusa Warren 

 (Text-figs 161-163; PI. 34, figs 585, 586; PL 105, fig. 938) 

 Zamarada protrusa Warren, 1897 : I2 3- 



(J § (PL 105, fig. 938). Hyaline area of wings greyish yellow (pi. 3, B5, wax -yellow) edged 

 finely with dark grey and silvery grey along distal margin. Non-hyaline terminal area of 

 each wing greyish orange (pi. 6, B4-5) more or less irrorate with grey. Underside of non- 

 hyaline terminal area of wings dark brown, paler terminad and at apex of fore wing. 



O* genitalia (Text-figs 161-163). Valve simple, weakly sclerotized, ventral margin evenly 

 curved to rounded apex; dorsal process dilate and setose or with a short, setose projection 

 near base; hair-scales of coremata light buff. Aedeagus tapered apicad with an acicular 

 projection at two-thirds. Fulcrum with a pair of angular projections at two-thirds or 

 smooth or serrate in apical third. Vesica with a cornutus similar in si/e and shape to the 

 projection from the aedeagus. 



$ genitalia (PL 34, figs 585, 586). Sterigma with a tapered, digitate process extending 

 anteriorly at left side; posterior margin of lamella postvaginalis symmetrical. Posterior 

 half of corpus bursae sclerotized and weakly ribbed. 



Measurements. Fore wing: g 13-17 mm; $ 14-16111111 Antenna! pectinations: g 8 X , 

 $ 4 X diameter of shaft. 



Distribution. West Africa, Guinea to Gabon. 



Two subspecies arc recognized, distinguished by the colour of the non-hyaline 

 terminal area of the wings and by the structure of the fulcrum.
