Zamarada terpsichore compacta subsp. n. 



(PI. 119, fig. 1067; PL 82, fig. 785; Map 5) 



(J $ (PI. 119, fig. 1067). Distinguished from the nominate subspecies by the shallower 

 excavation of the non-hyaline terminal area of each wing between veins M 3 and Cn lb ; the 

 excavations are markedly lunulate in outline. 



In the female genitalia (PI. 82, fig. 785) the lateral extension of the lamella antevaginalis 

 from the operculum is less strongly developed than in the nominate subspecies.

Zamarada terpsichore aprica subsp. n. 



(Text-fig 394; PI. 82, fig. 785; PI. 119, fig. 1068; Map 5) 



$ $ (PI. 119, fig. 1068). Distinguished by the pattern of excavation of the non-hyaline 

 terminal area of the wings; shallow and lunulate between veins M 3 and Cn lb on the fore wing, 

 broad and deep between vein M 3 and the anal angle on the hind wing. 



Measurements. Fore wing: £ $ 17 mm. 



In the male genitalia (Text-fig. 394) the apical margin of the left valve is arched 

 between the spined apices of the ventral and dorsal margins. In the female 

 genitalia (PI. 82, fig. 785) the form of the sterigma is similar to that of subsp. 

 compacta.
