Title :

A review of the genus Gamia Holland, 1896 (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Hesperinae), with the description of a new species

Abstract :

The Afrotropical hesperiid genus Gamia is reviewed briefly, and a revised key is provided to better characterize the species than previously (Evans 1937).  A new species, Gamia abri is described and characterized.  New and more accurate figures are given for both the male and female genitalia of the members of Gamia.  The systematic position of Gamia is discussed.
