Costal valva base modified with variably shaped projections ( Figures 25 , 30, 31 and 35–37) .......................................................................................................................................................... 7 Costal valva base not modified as above, simple ( Figures 27–29 and 32–34 ) ............ 2 2. Distal tip of phallus ventrally projected ( Figures 25–33 and 35–37 ) ............................... 3 Distal tip of phallus flat ( Figure 34 ) ............................... ............................... Z. beckeri sp. nov. 3. Subuncal projection tooth- or blade-like ( Figures 27 , 28, 32 and 33) ............................. 4 Subuncal projection wider than uncus, flattened, duckbill-like ( Figure 29 ) ........................ ............................................................................................................................................. Z. anas sp. nov. 4. Subuncal projection blunt, tooth-like, not blade or spine-like nor approaching uncus in length ( Figures 27 and 28 ) ............................................................................................................ 5 Subuncal projection thin, sharp, blade-like ( Figures 32 and 33 ) ....................................... 6 5. Subuncal projection, thick, broader than and nearly touching tip of uncus ( Figure 28 ) ....................................................................................................................................... Z. rawlinsi sp. nov. Subuncal projection somewhat variable in shape, but never wider than nor nearly touching uncus tip ( Figure 27 ) ........................................................................................ Z. fraterna 6. Subuncus projection not reaching farther than half length of uncus ( Figure 32 ) ............ ......................................................................................................................................... Z. stiletto sp. nov. Subuncus projection extending beyond half length of uncus, nearly reaching uncus tip ( Figure 33 ) ................................................. ................................................. Z. machaera sp. nov. 7. Costal base of valvae with dense setae (do not confuse with thick spines) ( Figures 30 , 31 and 35–37) .......................................................................................................................................... 8 Costal base of valva with dense spines ( Figure 25 ) .............................................. Z. infantilis 8. Subuncal projections paired, sharp spines ( Figures 30 and 31 ) ........................................ 9 Subuncal region with weakly sclerotised ribbon-like structure ( Figures 35–37 ) ....... 10 9. Costal base of valvae with tusk-like projections, valvae mesally without region of dense setae ( Figure 30 ) ................................................................................ Z. elephanta sp. nov. Costal base of valvae without tusk-like projections, valvae mesally with region of dense setae ( Figure 31 ) .................................... .................................... Z. elephanticula sp. nov. 10. Uncus usually weakly sclerotised, often deeply bidentate, phallus distally very narrow and widely splayed, appearing forked; subuncal region with diamond-shaped ribbon of sclerotisation ( Figure 37 ) .......................................................................... Z. bahiana sp. nov. Uncus usually well sclerotised, weakly if at all bidentate; phallus may be somewhat distally splayed but does not appear deeply forked; subuncal region with V-shaped ribbon of sclerotisation ( Figures 35 and 36 ) .............................................. Z. acuta sp. nov.
