Trip Ref: MZ-001 (ANHRT 22), gen. slide No. LG 5729 (female).</p><p>Distribution: This species has been collected in Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.</p><p>Taxonomic note: During our examination of Caffricola specimens, there have only been minor external morphological and genitalia differences detected between C. vicina and C. cloeckneria (Stoll, 1781), in agreement with Janse’s (1964) findings. The confirmation of the validity of the two species requires further morphological and genetic studies to be carried out on more material. The female specimen from MSR (Fig. 1) shows slight differences with the female holotype of C. vicina as well as with specimens identified as C. cloeckneria in terms of the larger extent of black colouration in the anal half of the forewing. Having compared their copulatory organs, the holotype of C. vicina has a somewhat longer ductus bursae and tubular section of the corpus bursae. Additionally, there is also a noticeable difference in the shape of the signum bursae between the two examined specimens (Figs 46 – 47). In the male genitalia, certain differences between paratypes of C. vicina and a specimen collected in MSR were also found, expressed by the overall size of the genital capsule, the shape of the ventral margin of the valvae, and the length of the vinculum (Figs 44 – 45). Due to only a few specimens being examined, it is difficult to decide the taxonomic value of these differences.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/9A11863BFF89FFF0709FF8DB5296FA25	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

ANHRT:2017.22.</p><p>Distribution: This species is known from Mozambique, South Africa, and Tanzania.</p><p>Taxonomic note: Trogocrada dimorpha is identical in external morphology to T. deleter, whereby adult males possess blackish-brown forewings, a darker curved postmedial fascia, and the distal portion of the wing diffused with tawny brown. Hindwings are greyish in the basal area, diffusing to blackish-brown (see Figs 33 – 34). Females of the species display similar patterns although lighter brown, also possessing a darker curved postmedial fascia. Furthermore, both the description and image of Janse’s (1964) genitalia dissection of a male T. dimorpha specimen are identical to what is observed in a specimen of T. deleter from MSR (see Fig. 52). These species have highly modified genitalia in contrast to other members of the Limacodidae (e.g. Latoia, Parasa), characterised by a very narrow, pointed uncus, two latero-distal processi of the tegumen, and a gnathos comprised of three, flat, sclerotised, apically rounded lobes. The valvae are short and wide, with long hairs at the apex. Despite the large number of highly modified characters of the male genitalia, no differences were found between the original illustration of T. dimorpha and the Mozambican specimen identified as T. deleter, suggesting that the two names refer to the same species.</p><p>Janse (1964) described T. dimorpha as a new species based merely on Tams’ (1953) original description of T. deleter without examining the type or any material: “I have not seen a specimen of this species” (Janse, 1964). The only difference Janse (1964) specifies between the two species is that the female of T. dimorpha is lighter in colour than the males. However, similar sexual dimorphism is also observed in T. deleter when looking at the female allotype and its characters described by Tams (1953). In conclusion, due to the identical morphological features, T. deleter is here considered a senior synonym of T. dimorpha Janse, 1964 syn. nov.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/9A11863BFF8BFFF57324FD9E577CFBDF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species has also been found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Africa, Tanzania, and Zambia.</p><p>Taxonomic note: Species of tropical and subtropical moths with distinctive green body and wing patterns have often been assigned with the genus Parasa Moore, 1859 (Solovyev 2014), although a clear definition of the genus based on diagnostic features has not yet been formed (Holloway et al. 1987). There is also a lack of a diagnoses for many similar Limacodidae genera, often causing conflicting reports of the nomenclature of these species. Latoia intermissa has previously been treated as Latoia (Gozmány &amp; Vári 1973; Kiriakoff 1963), Parasa (Hering 1940), and Stroter (Shaw et al. 2018) . Although Solovyev (2014) refers to this species as Parasa without justifying the combination, he considers the phylogeny of green Limacodids unresolved. The type species of Parasa, P. chloris Herrich-Schäffer, 1854, is described from North America, and our preliminary studies (Taberer, in prep.) suggest that the Old World green Limacodids are not congeneric with Parasa . Therefore, we follow Janse’s (1964) generic concept of the species, treating it as Latoia intermissa . The identification of the delimiting characters and the species content of these genera require an extensive revision including taxa from the Afrotropical, Holarctic, Neotropical and Indomalayan Regions.</p><p>Latoia albicosta (Hampson, 1910) (referred to as Latoia by Janse, 1964) is very similar to L. intermissa in its shape and ground colour of the wings. Both species are characterised by having a pure white costa and brownish-grey forewings with a large medio-ventral macula at the inner margin adjoining the postmedial line. The hindwings of both species are ochreous yellow with brownish grey suffusion and dark brown veins in the distal half. The only conspicuous morphological difference between them is the colour of the macula and the thorax, which are cinnamon in L. albicosta, hardly differing from the ground colour, and a contrasting bright green in L. intermissa (see Figs 17–20). Both species were described from the same locality (Natal, South Africa), and were collected together in the MSR, too. Genetic analysis of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI-5P) barcodes of both putative species from MSR and South Africa revealed 0 — 0.92% pairwise genetic distance between them suggesting that the two species are conspecific.</p><p>The male genitalia of three specimens from Mozambique (one “ albicosta ” and two “ intermissa ”) together with an “ albicosta ” from South Africa were dissected and no noticeable differences in genital morphology were found (Figs 48 – 49). In conclusion, it can be stated that L. albicosta is a mere colour form of L. intermissa without any genetic divergence or distinctive genitalia characters which would support the distinctness of the two taxa, thus the former species is here considered a junior synonym of L. intermissa: L. albicosta (Hampson, 1910) syn. nov.</p><p>It should be noted that there is often confusion interpreting Hampson’s types from his descriptions. Hampson used the singular word “type” after a list of specimens even when describing a species based on a series of syntypes, thus leading to errors when referencing his species descriptions (see comment in Mulvaney (2021:5)). In the case of Latoia albicosta, rather confusingly, only a single measurement of wingspan which corresponds to a female specimen is stated in the original description, yet a greater proportion of the description is devoted to the males. It can be concluded that in this case, as per Hampson’s other descriptions, his use of the word “type” when describing the new species is likely an abbreviation of “type specimen(s)” and refers to all of the specimens listed prior to it and not just the one immediately before it.</p><p>Due to this confusion with Hampson’s descriptions, a single female Latoia albicosta specimen was labelled as a holotype, however, this species was described from a series of seven syntypes: one male from Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, one female from Salisbury [= Harare], Zimbabwe, and four males and one female from Natal, South Africa. The single specimen from Kilimanjaro collected by Bishop Hannington was considered by Hampson in his original description as an aberration (“ Ab. 1.”) with “Thorax and fore wing much brighter rufous”; this specimen was later described as an aberration kilimandscharonis by Strand (1916). From our preliminary analyses of genetics and morphology, the populations further north in Tanzania are likely to be a different taxon. Therefore, in order to stabilise the nomenclature and taxonomy of Latoia albicosta, a male specimen from Natal, South Africa is designated here as the lectotype.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/9A11863BFF8CFFF4709FFBE7574DFB0F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The specimen is rather worn, making it difficult to diagnose the wing pattern. Dissection of the genitalia confirmed that the specimen undoubtedly belongs to Limacodinae (Fig. 51), although the clasping apparatus is largely simplified and similar in ground plan to that of numerous genera i.e. Latoia, Parasa or Stroter . Initially, due to similar external morphology, the specimen was thought to belong to the genus Gavara Walker, 1857, but the genitalia differed significantly for it to be confidently placed in this genus (Fig. 50). It is possible that this species belongs to a new undescribed genus, but based on a single worn specimen, we have refrained from describing one – further investigations are necessary.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/9A11863BFF8EFFF7709FFFDE545DFCB5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
