Zamarada metrioscaphes Prout 



(Text-figs 292, 293; PI. 62, figs 698, 699; PI. 113, figs 1018, 1019) 



Zamarada metrioscaphes Prout, 1912 : 199. LECTOTYPE $ Rhodesia (BMNH), here 

 designated [examined]. 



cJ $ (PI. 113, figs 1018, 1019). Hyaline area of wings tinged with green, varyingly striate 

 with brown to reddish grey and slenderly edged distally with black; discal spots dark grey; 

 costa of fore wing straw-yellow, striate with dark grey. Non-hyaline terminal area reddish 

 grey (pi. 12, B2) ; dentate subterminal fascia dark brown mixed with black, strongly marked 

 between costa and vein M 3 and between vein C« lb and posterior margin of each wing. 

 Underside of non-hyaline terminal area greyish orange; apical area of fore wing densely 

 suffused with greyish brown, the suffusion fading posteriorly in lightly marked specimens, 

 extending to tornus in more heavily marked specimens; proximal half of hind wing suffused 

 with greyish brown in anterior half of wing only. 



In a series of over thirty specimens from Rhodesia and Mozambique the non-hyaline 

 terminal area is a darker shade than in the type and the dentate subterminal fascia is heavily 

 marked in black (PL 113, fig. 1019).
