REVISION OF GENUS ZAMARADA 191 



Zamarada fumosa Gaede 

 (Text-figs 314, 315; PL 66, figs 716, 717; PL 114, fig. 1030) 



Zamarada fumosa Gaede, 1915 : 118, pi. 2, fig. 12 (as flava). Holotype q, Camerovn (MNHU, 



Berlin) [examined]. 

 Zamarada flaua Gaede, 1915 : pi. 2, fig. 12. 



(J$ (PI. 114, fig. 1030). Hyaline area of wings tinged and irrorate with dull greyish yellow, 

 displaying a copper-coloured tinge in oblique light, and finely edged terminally with brown ; 

 discal spot on fore wing ovate, greyish yellow to brownish orange, with a small but distinct 

 brown spot at base of vein M 2 , that on hind wing slender and dark brown; costal area of fore 

 wing brownish orange, irrorate with greyish brown. Non-hyaline terminal area uniformly 

 brownish orange (pi. 5, C5) very sparsely irrorate with dark brown; termen slenderly dark 

 brown; subterminal fascia dentate and broken, very weakly defined in a shade darker than 

 the ground colour. Underside of non-hyaline terminal area greyish brown, markedly paler 

 terminad; discal spots on fore wing large and ill-defined, greyish brown. 



£ genitalia (Text-figs 314, 315). Uncus similar to that of euerces. Ventral plate of gnathus 

 similar to that of phrontisaria. Apex of valve shallowly bifurcate, ventral and dorsal apices 

 tapered; dorsal process with a slender, digitate, setose projection near base. Aedeagus dilate 

 medially with two projections, one semi-circular and ridge-like, one digitate; apex finelv 

 tapered. Apex of fulcrum scobinate and tipped with a stout spine, extending beyond apex 

 of aedeagus. 



9- genitalia (PI. 66, figs 716, 717). Posterior margin of lamella antevaginalis serrate, 

 minutely medially, more coarsely towards and along lateral margins; a broad V-shaped 

 excavation in middle of posterior margin. Lamella postvaginalis much wrinkled medially, 

 with a small sclerotized plate. 



Measurements. Fore wing: q* 15-17 mm; $ 12-17 mm. Antennal pectinations: _J 14 x, 

 $ 3 x diameter of shaft. 



Differs in colour from griseola and astyphela in the copper-coloured tinge to 

 the hyaline area, apparent in oblique light, and in the more orange-brown colour 

 of the non-hyaline terminal area; differs in pattern in the broader distal penetration 

 by the hyaline area of each wing between veins M 3 and Cn lh . In the male the 

 strongly dilate hind tibia, which bears a dense tuft of long hair scales, separates 

 fumosa readily from griseola and geitaina. In the male genitalia the form of the 

 valve and aedeagus and in the female the form of the sterigma are diagnostic. 



Distribution. Zaire, Cameroun, Nigeria.
