250 D. S. FLETCHER 



distinguished by the specialization of the hind leg. Distinguished from latimargo 

 and janata by the darker, greyish brown non-hyaline terminal area with its well 

 marked subterminal fascia. In the male genitalia the form of the tapered valve 

 and uncus and of the hammer-headed apex of the fulcrum and in the female 

 genitalia the form of the sterigma are diagnostic.

The EMACIA TA -Group 



Externally similar in colour and pattern to crystallophana, to leona in the 

 Za/im<?rgo-group and to species in the tullia, paxilla, tortura and eucharis-groups 

 which follow. 



Characterized in the male genitalia by the form of the uncus, with its broadly 

 rounded apex, the deep ventral plate of the gnathus, the form of the asymmetrical 

 valves and the finely tapered aedeagus and by the vestigial fulcrum. 



Zamarada emaciata sp. n.

(j 1 genitalia (Text-figs 423, 424). Apex of uncus broadly rounded, basal half produced 

 laterally. Ventral plate of gnathus broadly rounded at apex, sclerotized area extending 

 anteriorty. Valves asymmetrical; left valve coarsely scobinate and spine-tipped at apex; 

 right valve smoothly rounded at apex and dorsally setose ; dorsal process with long, digitate, 

 setose projection from near base. Aedeagus finely tapered and minutely serrate medially on 

 ventral surface. Fulcrum slender, vestigial. Coremata greyish buff.
