Zamarada amelga sp. n. 



(Text-fig. 223; Map 3) 



(J. Identical in colour and pattern with transvisaria. Males may be distinguished externally 

 by the longer antennal pectinations. 



3 1 genitalia (Text-fig. 223). Distinguished from transvisaria by the form of the ventral 

 plate of the gnathus, which has a rounded apex, and by the form of the valve, which is tapered 

 to a narrow, truncate apex and has a longitudinal scobinate ridge which extends from one- 

 fourth to apex. 



2 unknown.

Zamarada calypso Prout 

 (Text-figs 224, 225; PI. 45, figs 631, 632; PL 108, fig. 967; Map 3) 



Zamarada calypso Prout, 1926 : 31. LECTOTYPE g, Madagascar (BMNH), here designated 

 [examined]. 



<J$ (PI. 108, fig. 967). Hyaline area of wings tinged with yellowish green and minutely striate 

 with grey along posterior margins, the grey being vinaceous in oblique light, and finely edged 

 distally with brown; discal spots minute and sharply marked, dark grey. Non-hyaline ter- 

 minal area brownish orange (pi. 7, C4) varyingly irrorate with brownish grey (pi. 5, D2), 

 densely in discal area; dentate subterminal fascia light brown (pi. 6, D6, cinnamon) irrorate 

 with dark brown and finely edged distally with silvery buff, usually sharply defined; cilia 

 chequered greyish buff and brownish grey. Underside of non-hyaline terminal area brownish 

 grey, paler terminad. 



O* genitalia (Text-figs 224, 225). Uncus similar to those of transvisaria and amelga, but 

 apical half longer and stouter and at base the lateral, setose projections are reduced. Ventral 

 plate of gnathus broad and truncate. Valve tapered; apical third incurved towards uncus, 

 ventral margin coarsely serrate. Aedeagus tapered to narrowly rounded apex. Fulcrum 

 weakly scobinate apicad, coarsely scobinate at one-half. 



$ genitalia (PI. 45, figs 631, 632). Sterigma asymmetrical; anterior margin irregularly 

 serrate; operculum at left side; lamella postvaginalis with digitate process extending posteriorly 

 at left side.
