200 D. S. FLETCHER 



anterior margin fused with and whole process overlaid by a sclerotized plate, which is 

 irregularly serrate along its posterior margin. 



Measurements. Fore wing: $ 14-16 mm; $ 13-15 mm. Antennal pectinations: ^ 12 X, 

 Cj 6 X diameter of shaft. 



Distinguished from species in the excavata-gvoup with similarly coloured green 

 hyaline areas on the wings by the shape of the excavation and the colour of the 

 non-hyaline terminal areas; males may be further distinguished by the presence 

 of white hair tufts on the hind tibiae. 



Most examples of cydippe may be distinguished externally from the closely 

 related adumbrata, with which it occurs, by the darker coloured non-hyaline 

 terminal area and its darker subterminal fascia; distinguished from it structurally 

 in the male genitalia by the boldly rounded apex of the right valve and by the 

 tip of the fulcrum, which lacks the stout terminal spine of that species; distinguished 

 in the female genitalia by the symmetrical sterigma. 



Distribution. W. Africa, Guinea to Gabon, Zaire, Uganda, Tanzania.

Zamarada adumbrata sp. n. 



(Text-figs 331, 332; PI. 71, figs 734, 737, 738; PL 118, fig. 1064) 



^ $ (PL 118, fig. 1064). Externally closely similar to cydippe; most examples may be 

 distinguished by the paler non-hyaline terminal area, greyish orange (pi. 6, B3) distad of 

 the subterminal fascia, orange-grey (pi. 6, B2) proximad of it; the subterminal fascia is brownish 

 orange (pi. 6, C7).
