dorsad towards the aedeagus and the weakly sclerotized sheath, its margins 

 sometimes serrate apicad, extends beyond the tip of the aedeagus. The uncus is 

 short and tapered, the dorsal surface densely setose basad. Ventral plate of 

 gnathus usually long, slender and scoop-like. Juxta bifurcate. Valves sym- 

 metrical, apex tapered, truncate or shallowly excavate. Vesica with or without 

 cornuti. 



The hind tibia in the male is dilate. 



In the female genitalia two sclerotized plates, one at each side, extend posteriorly 

 from the lamella ante vaginalis; anteriorly these plates are fused with and overlaid 

 by a strongly sclerotized, transverse plate. 



Z. ixiaria Swinhoe is tentatively included in the group because of the form of 

 the uncus, juxta and fulcrum.

0*$ (PI. 120, fig. 1074). Hyaline area of wings tinged with yellowish green and finely edged 

 distally with black and silvery grey; costa of fore wing buff striate with grey; posterior margin 

 of each wing sparsely striate with light grey; discal spot on fore wing ovate, silvery grey 

 outlined with dark grey; discocellulars on hind wing unmarked in male, but with a minute 

 dot in female. Non-hyaline terminal area brownish orange (pi. 7, C4) proximad of dark grey 

 to black, dentate subterminal fascia; fore wing and anterior half of hind wing suffused with 

 grey distad of it, posterior half of hind wing buff. Underside of non-hyaline terminal area 

 and discal spot on fore wing uniformly brownish grey. 



Male hind tibia dilate enclosing a short tuft of light buff hair-scales, one-half as long as 

 tibia. 



O* genitalia (Text-figs 397, 398). Juxta with two almost parallel, sclerotized bands. Valve 

 tapered, ventral margin minutely crenulate apicad; short, crenulate, setose ridge on dorsal 

 surface near base of dorsal margin; dorsal process with setose, digitate projection from basal
