REVISION OF GENUS ZAMARADA 161 



Zamarada pyrilampes Prout; Janse, 1932 : 143, pi. 10, fig. 4. 



<$ 9. Similar in structure to the nominate subspecies, but distinguished externally by the 

 reduction or absence of grey striae on the hyaline area of the wings and by the brighter, 

 orange-red colour (pi. 6, B7) of the non-hyaline terminal area (PI. in, fig. 999). In some 

 examples the orange-red is more or less irrorate with reddish grey (pi. 12, C2). 



Measurements. Fore wing: <J n-5-i3-omm; $ 13 mm. 



Zamarada hemimeres Prout represents an aberration in which the subterminal 

 fascia is broadly dark brown; the non-hyaline terminal area is reddish grey proximad 

 of it and orange-red distad of it (PI. ill, fig. 1000). Strict page priority has not 

 therefore been followed and pyrilampes is retained for the name of the subspecies. 



Distribution (Map 4). S. Tanzania, Mozambique, Malawi, Rhodesia and 

 Zambia above 500 ft, S.E. Zaire. 



Material examined. 



Zamarada ignicosta Pyrilampes Prout, lectotype <$, here designated, Angola: 

 Marimba, 30. ix. 1903 (Dr Ansorge): 'Zamarada ignicosta pyrilampes Prout $ type' 

 [in Prout's hand-writing]: Geometridae genitalia slide no. 5932, in BMNH. 

 Zamarada hemimeres Prout, holotype <$, Malawi ('Nysaland'): Mt Mlanje, 

 6.U.1913 (S. A. Neave), Geometridae genitalia slide no. 5931, in BMNH. Zamarada 

 pyrocincta Hampson ab. pyrocinctoides Strand, lectotype <J here designated, 

 Zaire ('Belgian Congo'): 150-200 miles W. of Kambove, 3500-4500 ft, i.xi.1907 

 (Neave Coll.), 1907-230: Geometridae genitalia slide no. 5933, in BMNH. 



The lectotype and paralectotype of ab. pyrocinctoides are also paralectotypes 

 of Zamarada pyrocincta Hampson; the two specimens were regarded by Hampson 

 as aberrations of Pyrocincta, but subsequently were found to be distinct from the 

 lectotype and the remainder of the type-series of that species.
