Paurocephala urenae Russell View in CoL

(gures 5C, G, 8I, 36B)

Paurocephala urenae Russell, 1946: 94 View in CoL . Holotype, examined.

Paurocephala urenae Russell View in CoL ; Vondrác Ïek, 1963.

Description. Species of the gossypii type.

Adult: described by Russell (1946). Measurements and ratios as in table 2A–C.

Fifth instar larva: described by Russell (1946). Measurements and ratios as in table 3.

Host plants. Urena lobata L. ( Malvaceae ).

Distribution. Zaire.

Material examined. Zaire: Holotype, paratypes 3, 4 and 7 larvae, Gandajika, May 1945, Urena lobata (D. Soyer) (NHMB, USNM) . Dry and slide mounted .

Comments. Close to P. abutili sp. n. from which it is distinguished by the overall body coloration which is less dark and shape of the antennae. The fth instar larvae are diYcult to separate. In P. abutili sp. n. the sectasetae on body are more slender than in P. urenae Russell. The reference of P. urenae Russell by Vondrác Ïek (1963: 277) refers to an undescribed species (see comments under unidenti ed material of Paurocephala sp. Zaire #1).
