FIGURE 23. a in Revision of the Metarbelodes Strand, 1909 genus-group (Lepidoptera: Cossoidea: Metarbelidae) with descriptions of two new genera and 33 new species from high elevations of eastern and southern Africa
FIGURE 23. a. Habitat of Zambezia jennyhuntae: The nearly evenly aged structure of the tree layer in a drier type of open miombo woodland dominated by Julbernardia globiflora (Benth.) Troupin (Caesalpiniaceae) and Brachystegia spiciformis Benth. (Caesalpiniaceae) close to Marondera (Zimbabwe) is due to anthropogenic activity since 1929. The young stand in the image is the result of protection of the miombo since the late 1960s. Photo by Rhett Butler (Harare), October 2015. b. Habitat of Zambezia durrellbarnesi: View from the summit of the Bvumba Mountains taken from Castle Beacon (1.911 m) in May 1969 by the late botanist Darrel Plowes (Mutare, Zimbabwe). Beyond the flowering Aloe arborescens Mill. (Aloaceae) (right) is the Burma Valley below and on the southeast side, the high hill in the middle distance is Leopard Rock, a so called "granite bornhardt". Where the high Bvumba ground drops sharply down into the Burma Valley (730–880 m, both part of the post-African surface developing since 30–25 Ma) in the right centre of the picture, the Witchwood Valley forest or Bungu Forest, begins. The forests seen towards the Burma Valley and Leopard Rock are mixed submontane forests with the highest tree species diversity recorded for Zimbabwe (Müller 2006). Within a few kilometers an older erosion surface (possibly African Surface) may be preserved on Castle Beacon (Lister 1987; Andy Moore pers. com. to I.L. in 2016). The row of hills in the background forms the border with Mozambique and still belongs geomorphologically to the Bvumba Mountains.

FIGURE 25 a in Revision of the Metarbelodes Strand, 1909 genus-group (Lepidoptera: Cossoidea: Metarbelidae) with descriptions of two new genera and 33 new species from high elevations of eastern and southern Africa
FIGURE 25 a. Habitat of Zambezia durrellbarnesi: The Witchwood Valley southeast of Leopard Rock (the high hill on the right). The picture shows drier mixed submontane forest dominated by woody leguminous trees such as Albizia gummifera (J.F. Gmel.) C.A. Sm. and Albizia schimperiana Oliv. (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae) (the light grey trees with rather flat crowns in the centre of the foreground). The row of hills in the background are part of the Bvumba Mountains and are located south of Mutare. The picture was taken in April 2006 by Jürgen Lenz (Harare). b. Habitat of Zambezia darrelplowesi: A patch of vegetation older than 40 years at the Kopje House in Mutare still occurs on the steeper rocky area (schist) with Julbernardia globiflora (Benth.) Troupin (Caesalpiniaceae) in the foreground (right) and a large Ficus sycomorus L. (Moraceae) mixed with smaller Combretum molle R.Br. (Combretaceae), Ziziphus mucronata Willd. (Rhamnaceae) and Carissa bispinosa (L.) Desf. (Apocynaceae) in the background. Photo by the late Darrel Plowes (Mutare), November 2015.
