J genitalia (Text-figs 173, 174). Differs from protrusa in the form of the truncate valve 

 and in the presence on the aedeagus of a conspicuous, longitudinal, sclerotized ridge on its 

 apical sixth. Differs from bernardii in the form of the aedeagus with its smooth rather than 

 scobinate projection at two-thirds and in the presence of a sclerotized longitudinal ridge along 

 the apical sixth. 



§ genitalia (PI. 36, figs 595, 596). Closely similar to those of protrusa, differing in the broader, 

 stouter process that extends anteriorly from the sterigma, dorsad of the corpus bursae; 

 differing also in the more sharply defined sclerotized posterior half of the corpus bursae. 



Measurements. Fore wing: $ 14-17 mm; $ 13-5 mm. Antennal pectinations: (J iox, 

 9 4 - 5 X diameter of shaft. 



Distinguished externally in the protrusa-group by the predominantly orange-grey 

 colour of the non-hyaline terminal area, which is closely similar to that of the 

 allopatric pringlei in the excavata-group; distinguished structurally from protrusa 

 by the almost truncate valve in the male genitalia and by the asymmetrical 

 posterior margin of the sterigma in the female genitalia.

Zamarada strigilecula sp. n. 



(Text-hgs 175, 176; PI. 37, figs 597, 598; PI. 106, fig. 946) 



^ genitalia (Text-figs 175, 176). Dorsal third of valve sclerotized, apex tapered; apical 

 half of sclerotized area coarsely scobinate; dorsal process dilate and setose at one-third; hair- 

 scales of coremata light buff. Aedeagus with a thorn-like projection at two-thirds. Fulcrum 

 tapered and strongly sclerotized. Vesica with a stout, thorn-like cornutus. 



§ genitalia (PI. 37, figs 597, 598). Posterior margin of lamella postvaginalis symmetrical, 

 bilobate. Posterior margin of lamella antevaginalis asymmetrical, the digitate process 

 extending posteriorly at the right side longer and more slender than that from the left; left 

 anterior margin with a short, broad, digitate projection. Posterior third of corpus bursae 

 sclerotized, with a smooth, almost triangular projection at the left side.
