172 D. S. FLETCHER 



(J$ (PI. 112, fig. 1006). Hyaline area of wings lightly striate with grey; distal margin very 

 finely edged with black, except in costal area of fore wing; discal spots small and black. 

 Costa of fore wing light buff (nearest pi. 4, A2, yellowish white) striate with grey. Dentate 

 subterminal fascia brownish orange (pi. 6, C3) broken into interneural, toothed markings; 

 non-hyaline terminal area of each wing reddish grey (pi. 11, B2) proximad of subterminal 

 fascia, light buff irrorate with black distad of it. Non-hyaline area unusually narrow; ratio 

 of non-hyaline to hyaline areas at costa of fore wing 1 : 4 to 1 : 5. Underside of non-hyaline 

 terminal area uniformly greyish brown (pi. 7, E3). 



<$ genitalia (Text-figs 283, 284). Apex of valve diagonally truncate; short, sclerotized 

 ridges extend basad from apical margin, between acicular tip at dorsal side and smaller, 

 thorn-like projection at ventral side. Ratio of width of sclerotized and scobinate fultura 

 superior to width of dorsal process at mid-length is 5 14. 



$ genitalia (PI. 59, figs 686, 687) . 



Measurements. Fore wing: $ 10-13 mm; $ J 3'5 mm. Antennal pectinations: <J 9 X, 

 $ 3 X diameter of shaft. 



A distinctively patterned species readily recognizable by the well contrasted 

 dark proximal and light buff distal halves of the narrow, non-hyaline terminal 

 area of each wing. 



Distribution. Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Rhodesia, Zaire, Angola.

 Zamarada densisparsa Prout; Janse, 1932 : 136, pi. 1, fig. 27. 



^9 (PI- II2 > fig- 1007). Hyaline area of wings tinged with dull yellow (pi. 3, B3) and striate 

 with yellowish grey (pi. 3, B2) ; discal spots yellowish grey. Costa of fore wing and terminal 

 area of each wing yellowish grey irrorate with dull yellow; subterminal fascia faintly indicated 

 in a darker shade of grey. Underside of non-hyaline terminal area uniformly brownish grey. 



$ genitalia (Text-fig. 285). Closely similar to those of denticatella, apparently differing 

 only in the narrower sclerotized and scobinate area of the fultura superior; ratio of width of 

 fhis area to width of dorsal process of valve at mid-length varies from 4 : 4 to 3 : 4.
