186 D. S. FLETCHER 



margin; apex truncate; occasionally a short projection from ventral margin just below apex; 

 dorsal process with a very slender, digitate projection near base. Aedeagus finely tapered; 

 a short, digitate and a strongly sclerotized, laterally inclined, thorn-like projection, each at 

 one-half. 



9 genitalia (PI. 64, figs 708, 709). Posterior margin of lamella antevaginalis finely serrate 

 medially, irregularly serrate laterally. Perimeter of signum serrate. 



Similar in colour and pattern to plana denticincta, but differing in the deeper distal extension 

 of the hyaline area between veins M 3 and Cw lb on each wing, reminiscent of the oriental 

 excisa. The non-hyaline terminal area in varii is paler and greyer than that of plana denticincta 

 (PI. 113, fig. 1024). 



Measurements. Fore wing: <J 13-14 mm; § 15-17 mm. Antennal pectinations: $ 9 X . 

 9 5 x diameter of shaft. 



Distinguished structurally from plana denticincta by the shorter pectinations 

 of the male antennae, their maximum length being nine instead of thirteen times 

 the diameter of the shaft; by the form of the valve and of the aedeagus in the 

 male genitalia; by the finely serrate medial region of the lamella antevaginalis 

 and the shortly serrate perimeter of the signum in the female genitalia. 



It is with pleasure that I name this species in honour of Dr Lajos Vari of the 

 Transvaal Museum, in token appreciation of his frequent very kind help. 



Distribution. Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Zambia, Rhodesia, Transvaal, 

 Natal.

Zamarada astyphela (Prout MS) sp. n. 

 (Text-figs 304, 305; PL 65, figs 710, 711; PI. 113, fig. 1027) 



(J 5 (PI. 113, fig. 1027). Hyaline area of wings irrorate with brownish orange and edged 

 distally with light brown; irroration dense along costa of fore wing, sparse along its posterior 

 margin; discal spot on fore wing ovate, light grey edged with dark grey, that on hind wing 

 minute, dark grey. Non-hyaline terminal area brownish orange (pi. 5, C3) ; terminal interneural 

 dots black. In some examples there is a dark grey subterminal fascia, more strongly defined 

 on the fore wing. Underside of non-hyaline terminal area greyish brown (pi. 5, D3), paler 

 terminad.
