Zamarada flavicaput Warren 

 (Text-figs 273, 274; PI. 57, figs 678, 679; PI. in, figs 1003, 1004) 



Zamarada flavicaput Warren, 1901 : 212. Holotype $, Angola (BMNH) [examined]. 

 Zamarada pyrocincta Hampson, 1910 : 470, pi. 39, fig. 5. LECTOTYPE <$, Zaire (BMNH), 



here designated [examined]. Syn. n. 

 [Zamarada flavicosta Warren sensu Hampson, 1910 : 470. Misidentincation.] 

 [Zamarada flavicaput Warren sensu Hampson, 1910 : 470 (part). Misidentincation.] 



<J°- (PI. in, figs 1003, 1004). Head and collar yellow. Costa of fore wing yellow, irrorate 

 with grey. Hyaline area of wings tinged with yellow and slenderly edged distally with black. 

 In the holotype of flavicaput the non-hyaline terminal area of the wings is almost uniformly 

 orange-grey (pi. 6, B2), both on upper and under surfaces; on the upper surface the dentate 

 subterminal fascia is faintly defined with light brown, but with black between veins i? 4 and 

 i? 5 on the fore wing (PI. in, fig. 1003). 



In form pyrocincta Hampson the subterminal fascia is pale, slender and dentate, broadly 

 edged distally with brownish orange (pi. 6, C8) to light brown (pi. 6, D8), but with black 

 between veins R i and i? 5 on the fore wing and often between i? 5 and M 3 on the hind wing; 

 the remainder of the non-hyaline terminal area is light brown varyingly suffused with reddish 

 grey (pi. 10, B2) (PL in, fig. 1004). Underside of non-hyaline terminal area of wings 

 uniformly brownish grey; proximal two-thirds of costa of fore wing yellow irrorate with grey. 



3 genitalia (Text-figs 273, 274). Ventral plate of gnathus well developed, tip of plate 

 sometimes shallowly bifurcate. Valves asymmetrical, base of each dorsal margin rounded; 

 dorsal process with a semi-circular, setose projection from basal half. Fulcrum dilate apicad 

 with serrate margin. 



9 genitalia (PI. 57, figs 678, 679). Lamella postvaginalis with medial process extending 

 posteriorly. Lamella antevaginalis consisting of a strongly sclerotized plate broadly rounded 

 posteriorly. Ductus bursae slender and tubular, two-thirds as long as corpus bursae, 

 sclerotized at posterior margin with a short, digitate process at one side. 



Measurements. Fore wing: £ i4-o— 15-5 mm; $ 12— 16 mm. Antennal pectinations: 

 (J 10 X . $ 3 X diameter of shaft.
