REVISION OF GENUS ZAMARADA 249 



The species varies markedly in the amount of grey striation in the hyaline area; 

 examples from Elisabeth ville and from Kolwezi range from the coarsely striate 

 to the immaculate; the genitalia of both sexes of these extreme forms appear to 

 be identical.

Zamarada leona Gaede 

 (Text-figs 421, 422; PI. 87, figs 803, 804; PI. 122, fig. 1092) 



Zamarada leona Gaede, 1915 : 122, pi. 2, fig. 19. Holotype <J, Sierra Leone (MXHU, Uerlin) 

 [examined] . 



^ °- (PI. 122, fig. 1092). Hyaline area of wings greenish yellow varyingly, but coarsely 

 striate with grey, vinaceous tinged in oblique light, and finely edged distally with greyish 

 brown; discal spot on fore wing grey outlined with greyish brown, that on hind wing greyish 

 brown and minute. Non-hyaline terminal area greyish brown (pi. 6, D3) irrcrate with a 

 darker shade; dentate subterminal fascia a dark shade of greyish brown (pi. 6, F3, negro), 

 finely edged distally with glossy buff. Underside of non-hyaline terminal area uniformly 

 greyish brown. 



The male hind leg is similar in colour to that of latimargo. 



$ genitalia (Text-figs 421, 422). Uncus tapered to a point. Ventral plate of gnathus 

 minutely scobinate, rounded at apex. Juxta bifurcate, weakly sclerotized. Apical area of 

 valve smoothly sclerotized, tip sharply pointed. Apex of aedeagus finely tapered, minutely 

 scobinate on dorsal surface. Fulcrum with broad, hammer-headed apex, dorsal surface 

 scobinate. 



$ genitalia (PI. 87, figs 803, 804). Sterigma asymmetrical. Lamella antevaginalis 

 rectangular, lateral and anterior margins regularly and minutely serrate, posterior margin 

 irregular; right side more extensively folded than the left. Lamella postvaginalis crenulate 

 and folded. Corpus bursae weakly sclerotized posteriorly with short, serrate ridge at left 

 side. 



Measurements. Fore wing: $ 15-17 mm; $ 15-16 mm. Antennal pectinations: ^ 7 X, 

 $ 5 X diameter of shaft. 



Distinguished externally from similarly patterned species in the reflexaria, 

 triangularis and crystallophana-groups by the presence of coarse grey striation 

 in the hyaline area of each wing and by the reduction, or more usually the absence 

 of buff from the non-hyaline terminal area of the hind wing; the male is further
