Urana paradoxa : Melichar 1923 , Synave 1956 , Metcalf 1957 , Medler 1990 . Diagnosis Closely similar to U . unica sp. nov. but differs by the male genital structures: basal part of periandrium with three dorsal teeth ( Figure 5A,B ) – more in U . unica ( Figure 6D,E ); ventral part with lower keel-shaped median lobe – Figure 5A ( U . unica – without lobe); upper ventral lobes elongated and narrow with deep median split ( Figure 5A,B ) – in U . unica with three upper short lobes ( Figure 6F ). Description Total length 0.91–1.10 cm . Head. Vertex: proportion A / B = 6.00–9.00; anterior margin in the specimen from Anjanaharibe weakly concave in median portion. Frons: proportion C / E = 0.70–0.84; proportion D / E = 0.97–1.02. Figure 8. Distribution map of genus Urana Melichar, 1901 . Thorax. Pronotum: proportion F / B = 3.00–6.00. Mesonotum: proportion G / F = 3.33–3.78, proportion G / B+F = 1.82–2.94, proportion G / H = 0.80–0.94. Tegmina: proportion I / J = 2.62–2.75. Male genitalia. Anal tube (in lateral view, Figure 5C ): lower margin convex; apical part distinctly narrower than median. Anal tube (in dorsal view, Figure 5D ): lateral margins in median portion convex, apical portion tapering apicad. Genital styles: posterior margin not concave in median portion; lower part of genital styles destroyed. Periandrium ( Figure 5A,B ): basal part with three dorsal teeth (median straight, lateral aurochs-horn-like); ventral part with three lobes: lower one laterally flattened, keel-shaped, surpassing half of upper lobes length; upper lobes extremely elongated and narrow with deep median split; lateral part of periandrium apically with huge single-armed appendage with basal one or two processes and short teeth. Aedeagus s.s.: lateral lobes smaller than those of U . unica and placed subapically, dorso-apical lobes as in Figure 5F,G . Type material Holotype , ♂ : [ Madagascar , Antananarivo , Sikora J.F. ], [Hymenopt mimicry Fall] [ Urana paradoxa Melichar det.], [Typus], [Zool. Mus. Berlin]. The holotype is deposited in ZMB . Note: In original description ( Melichar 1902 ) and in Medler (1990) the name of type locality is given as Antanarivo. Additional materials Two ♀♀ : [ Madagascar-East dct.
