Zamarada tortura sp. n. 



(Text-figs 431, 432; PL 90, figs 816, 817; PL 94, fig. 836; PL 123, fig. 1099) 



$ genitalia (Text -figs 431, 432). Ventral plate of gnathus strongly sclerotized and broad, 

 apical margin shallowly excavate. Juxta strongly sclerotized with truncate apex. Apices 

 of valves asymmetrical; apices of ventral and dorsal margins produced in digitate form; 

 dorsal process with a very slender, setose projection fused with dorsal margin of valve at 

 base. Aedeagus tapered. Central core of fulcrum coarsely scobinate at apex; very long 

 sheath finely scobinate at apex. Coremata dense, dark grey (PI. 94, fig. 836). 



genitalia (PI. 90, figs 816, 817). Sterigma asymmetrical. Lamella antevaginalis covered 

 by and fused anteriorly with a sclerotized plate, which is irregularly serrate along its posterior 

 margin. Posterior margin of lamella postvaginalis with thorn-like projection at left side. 



Measurements. Fore wing: <J 18-19 mm; $ 15-17 mm. Antennal pectinations: $ 6 X , 

 2 -5 X diameter of shaft. 



Externally almost identical in colour and pattern (PL 123, fig. 1099) with the 

 slightly shorter-winged tullia. Males may be distinguished by the presence of 

 dark grey instead of bright buff coremata. 



The male hind tibia is not dilate, but encloses a capsule of short hair-scales, 

 similar to those found in males of the metrioscafthes-group. 



In the male genitalia the form of the bilobate uncus turned through 90 degrees 

 and of the valves and in the female genitalia the form of the sterigma are diagnostic. 



Distribution. Cameroun, Gabon, Angola.

 (Text-figs 433, 434; PL 90, figs 818, 819; PL 123, fig. 1104) 



(J? (PI. 123, fig. 1 104). Greenish yellow-tinged hyaline area of wings suffused with grey, 

 except for a slender band immediately proximad of the slender, brown, distal edging; discal 

 spot on fore wing grey outlined in dark brown; discocellulars on hind wing slenderly grey. 

 Non-hyaline terminal area uniformly smoke-brown (pi. 4, F2) ; dentate subterminal fascia 

 broken and ill-defined in a darker shade; each distally inclined interneural, tooth-like mark 

 edged with a few buff scales. Underside of non-hyaline terminal area uniformly smoke-grey.
