Heteropsis angulifascia clade

In the sampling of Aduse-Poku et al., (2015, Fig. 1), Ht. angulifascia (Butler, 1879), Ht. ‘ anceps ’ (= Ht. oberthueri), Ht. turbans and Ht. sabas formed a well-supported molecular clade. This clade, nested within the Ht. strigula sub-group, and named after Ht. angulifascia, also includes the described species Ht. anceps, as well as at least five undescribed species, four of which are introduced below. Morphologically, the group features some degree of dorso-ventral flattening of the gnathos, in its extreme forming bizarre, cupped, ear-like structures unique in the Mycalesina, either side of uncus.
