Zeheba aureatoides Holloway sp. n.

♂♂ 19mm. This species resembles Z. aureata or Z. marginata in facies but is larger, less yellow in tinge, with somewhat broader borders to the wings. It is best distinguished by the ventral arms of the valves. These are broader than in the other species and lucidata, with the subapical processes larger, particularly that in the right valve which is much more deeply based. The process on the left arm is more rounded.
