Zarcinia nigrosignatella Chretien, 1915

Figs 45-47

Zarcinia nigrosignatella Chrétien, 1915: 310-311, type locality: south Tunisia, Zarcine-Kebili, type in MNHN [not examined].

Material examined.

2 ♀, " Gabes, Tunis/1895, Reit." [Tunisia], genitalia slide Mey 04/04, ex coll. Staudinger (MfN) .

Remarks.

The holotype of the species could not be traced in the MNHN and is probably lost. The two females from the Staudinger collection agree in external appearance with the illustrations and description of the type specimen and are interpreted here as representing Z. nigrosignatella . The female genitalia are illustrated in Figs 45-47. In contrast to other congeners, the ostium bursae is small and situated in the intersegmental membrane in a central position, and the distal margin of sternum VII is straight and symmetrical.
