Zamarada geitaina sp. n. 



(Text-figs 310, 311; PI. 114, fig. 1032) 



(J (PI. 114, fig. 1032). Hyaline area of wings tinged with dull yellow, very sparsely striate 

 with greyish orange and slenderly edged distally with greyish brown; discal spots slender, 

 that on fore wing ovate, greyish orange; costal area of fore wing greyish orange irrorate with 

 greyish brown. Non-hyaline terminal area greyish orange (pi. 5, B3) ; subterminal fascia 

 dentate, greyish brown edged distally with silvery grey; termen slenderly greyish brown. 

 Underside of non-hyaline terminal area uniformly greyish brown. 



<J genitalia (Text-figs 310, 311). Uncus short, stout and tapered, tip curved ventrad. 

 Ventral plate of gnathus strongly sclerotized and minutely scobinate, digitate in form. Valve: 

 medial third with short, diagonal ridge; apical half of dorsal margin deeply excavate; apex 

 diagonally truncate, apical margin one-half as wide as greatest width of aedeagus; dorsal 

 process with slender, digitate, setose projection near base. Aedeagus dilate at two-thirds 

 with a diagonally transverse, semi-circular, blade-like projection; apical third finely tapered. 



5 unknown. 



Measurements. Fore wing: $ 14-16 mm. Antennal pectinations: q* 14 X diameter of 

 shaft. 



Externally similar to griseola, but differing in the presence of a well-defined 

 subterminal fascia on each wing. In the male genitalia the form of the valve 

 and aedeagus is diagnostic. 



Distribution. Ivory Coast.
