The CYDIPPE-Grovp 



A group of species closely similar in colour and pattern to many included in 

 the excavata and prolrusa-gvoups, with hyaline areas tinged with bright green, 

 almost devoid of dark striation and having minute discal dots; the non-hyaline 

 terminal area is deeply excavate, almost to the termen between veins M 3 and 

 Cu lb on each wing. 



Characterized in the male genitalia by the presence of short, stout setae on the 

 apical fourth and long, stiff setae on the weakly dilate basal fourth of the dorsal 

 process of the valve; by the very long fulcrum, at least one and three-fourths as 

 long as the aedeagus, which is curved through 90-180 degrees and finely scobinate 

 at apex; and by the asymmetrical valves. 



The apical two-thirds of the uncus is of even width to the narrowly rounded 

 tip. The arms of the gnathus fuse to form a shallow, weakly sclerotized and 

 scobinate ventral plate, narrowly rounded at tip. 



The male hind tibia is dilate, enclosing a longitudinal tuft of long white hair- 

 scales. 



Two named species are included in the group, cydippe Herbulot and adumbrata 

 sp. n.; two further species, one from Amani in Tanzania and one from the Shimba 

 Hills in E. Kenya, await description when adequate material is available. 



Key to Species 



1 Right valve with apex of ventral margin produced in angular form, extending 



beyond level of rounded apex of dorsal margin. Fulcrum scobinate at 

 apex and tipped with a stout spine .... adumbrata (p. 200) 



- Right valve with boldly rounded apex. Fulcrum scobinate at apex, but 



not tipped with a stout spine ...... cydippe (p. 199)

0*$ (pi. n8, fig. 1062). Hyaline area of wings green, as in dyscapna and hero in the excavata- 

 group, finely edged distally with pale yellow, then with brown; discal spots minute, dark 

 grey; costa of fore wing yellow, striate with grey. Non-hyaline terminal area brownish grey 

 (pi. 7, C2), vinaceous tinged in oblique light; dentate subterminal fascia brown (pi. 7, E7) 

 finely edged distally with glossy buff; fascia broadly and strongly marked in apical half of 

 fore wing; cilia chequered greyish buff and greyish brown. Underside of non-hyaline terminal 

 area brown (pi. 6, E5). 



<J genitalia (Text-figs 329, 330). Valves asymmetrical; apex of right valve boldly rounded. 

 Tip of fulcrum scobinate, but without stout spine at tip.
