REVISION OF GENUS ZAMARADA u 5 



(Text-fig. 185) ; in the population from Amani in Tanzania, the fulcrum is bilobate 

 at apex (Text-fig. 186), in the other examples it is rounded. 

 Distribution. Equatorial Africa. 



Two subspecies are recognized, distinguished by the colour, pattern and width 

 of the non-hyaline terminal area of the wings.

<J$ (PI. 100, fig. 949). Hyaline ana of wings tinged with greenish yellow, sparsely irrorate 

 with brown and finely edged distaliy with dark brown to black; costa of fore wing and

 Non-hyaline terminal area of wings yellowish brown; subterminal fascia sharply marked and 

 acutely dentate, extending unbroken on each wing from costa to posterior margin, orange- 

 brown mixed with dark brown, each terminally inclined dentation reaching slender orange- 

 brown terminal line; each wing clear yellowish brown distad of subterminal fascia; proximad 

 of it, irrorate with dark brown and black, as illustrated. Measured at costa of fore wing the 

 proportion of non-hyaline to hyaline areas varies from 5:11 to 5 : 13. Underside of non-
