03D187B75931E620FF7038E8FEE89EE8.taxon	description	The subfamily Ectropinae contains mostly small, beige species. In the male genitalia, they possess completely separated anterior processes of the transtilla, a simple juxta and most species also have a narrow valve (with the exception of Ectropona species) as well as a longer and larger vesica of the phallus, and are very distinct from the Chrysopolominae. Members of Ectropinae are smaller in size and Hering (1937) also observed that in wing venation, the basal portion of r 4 + 5 is mostly absent in Ectropinae but well-developed in Chrysopolominae. Zolotuhin et al. (2014) transferred the tribe Achroceridini (containing Strigivenifera and Achrocerides) from Chrysopolominae to Ectropinae, based on reasoning that Ectropa possessed “ gnathos-like sclerites ” in the male genitalia similar to Strigivenifera and Achrocerides. This is problematic for a number of reasons. Firstly, Zolotuhin et al. (2014) did not include any representatives of Ectropinae in their study believing that a priori, it was the “ least important ” group for their analyses as members of Strigivenifera were close in terms of genital morphology; it should be noted that at this point in their review, Strigivenifera was still in the subfamily Chrysopolominae. It is also important to consider that all Chrysopolomidae genera possess a gnathos-like transtilla and hence it is probable that Zolotuhin et al. (2014) were referring to the shape of this character being similar in Ectropa, Achrocerides and Strigivenifera and not the presence of the structure itself. If this were the case, the homologous and thus interchangeable use of the terms “ gnathos-like sclerites ” and “ transtilla ” in this particular section make it incredibly confusing for the reader and misinterpretations may occur as a result. In order to clarify this issue, the terminology of the genital structures as referred herein are clearly defined and an annotated figure is provided in Fig. 1. The genus Diquishia was then described within the tribe Achroceridini in Kurshakov & Zolotuhin (2016), again based on observed similarities with Strigivenifera genitalia. The results of the phylogenetic analyses coupled with further morphological investigations suggest that Strigivenifera, Achrocerides, and Diquishia belong in the Chrysopolominae and are herein transferred back to the subfamily. Kurshakov & Zolotuhin’s (2013 a) review of the genus Ectropa and description of Ectropona provided an excellent contribution to the knowledge of what was previously a monotypic genus, but through further phylogenetic and morphological investigations in this present study, the existence of two further genera has become apparent. Firstly, Ectropa was recovered in two clades with very large pairwise distances in the phylogeny as discussed above. One clade comprised the type species of the genus, E. ancilis Wallengren, 1863, and E. alberici Dufrane, 1945 in the other. Externally, E. ancilis has characteristically scalloped hindwings (as also seen in E. adam Kurshakov & Zolotuhin, 2013) whilst the hindwings of E. alberici are only scalloped at the tornus, similarly to the distinct genus Ectropona; the forewings of E. alberici are also more rounded than those of E. ancilis. Ectropa alberici is noticeably larger in size and the wings bear a grey, mottled appearance with only extremely faint postmedial lines compared to the well-defined postmedial lines of E. ancilis. In the male genitalia, the clasping apparatus of E. alberici is considerably larger, possessing a far narrower and more elongate uncus and a rectangular, plate-like posterior process of the transtilla. The anterior processes of the transtilla of E. alberici are considerably longer and more developed than in E. ancilis, and the juxta is formed into a shield-like structure compared to the simple juxta of the latter. These morphological characters, coupled with the high divergences found in the DNA barcodes, suggest the existence of a derived member of the subfamily, and thus a new generic name is introduced: Muscectropa gen. n. Ectropona was the only genus to be recovered as paraphyletic within the Ectropinae, a paratype of E. dargei Kurshakov & Zolotuhin, 2013, the type species of Ectropona, with the BOLD process number LIMBC 760 - 11, clustering separately to three specimens of West African E. revelli Kurshakov & Zolotuhin, 2013. Further morphological investigations revealed the male genitalia of E. dargei (as well as E. aarviki Kurshakov & Zolotuhin, 2013 and E. kubwe Kurshakov & Zolotuhin, 2013) to be extremely simplified in comparison to all other Chrysopolomidae, wherein the transtilla lacks apical processes and is comprised of a flat, triangular posterior process and the valve is triangular. The male genitalia of E. revelli (and E. larsa Kurshakov & Zolotuhin, 2013), however, has a very elongate, pointed posterior process of the transtilla and two short, anterior processes. Perhaps the most distinctive feature to separate E. revelli and E. larsa from the other three Ectropona species is the presence of a saccular process on the valve. Externally, the moths are similar in appearance although the forewing discal spot of E. revelli and E. larsa is more ovoid or kidney-shaped compared to the rounded discal spot of all other members of Ectropona. Whilst Kurshakov & Zolotuhin (2013 a) noted the presence of the saccular process in E. revelli and E. larsa and not in other members of Ectropona, the phylogenetic results here strongly suggest these two taxa belong in their own distinct genus; hence, based on the evidence presented above, a new generic name is established for these two species: Pseudectropona gen. n. The placement of the monotypic Madagascan genus Vietteopoloma within the Ectropinae is herein maintained. Although not represented in the phylogenetic analyses, Vietteopoloma shares several similarities in both the external and genital morphology which support its position within this subfamily. The fore- and hindwing pattern and shape is highly reminiscent of Ectropa, and the moth is similarly small in size. In the male genitalia, the two posterior processes of the transtilla are completely separated, which is unique within the Ectropinae, although the anterior processes are also separated which is typical of the subfamily. The shape of the phallus is somewhat reminiscent of Ectropa, being extremely narrow, strongly sclerotised, and evenly curved whilst the narrow valve which points dorsally at the apex is similar to Ectropa and Chrysectropa. The following list comprises the genera and species contained within Ectropinae, with brief genus re-descriptions and diagnoses:	en	Taberer, Tabitha R.

03D187B7593DE62CFF7038E8FB5E9E3D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. As discussed under the very similar Ectropona above, Pseudectropona species can only be readily identified from the genitalia. In the new genus, the presence of the anterior process of the transtilla and the saccular process of the valve, a synapomorphy of this genus, together with the curved phallus allow for easy identification. Although based on a limited number of specimens, it is possible that the two genera are allopatrically distributed across the Great Rift Valley, Ectropona to the east and Pseudectropona to the west.	en	Taberer, Tabitha R.

03D187B7593AE629FCD73AE0FB1B98A3.taxon	description	Annals of the Transvaal Museum 17: 237 – 238. The subfamily Chrysopolominae consists of medium-sized brown or beige moths with broad, rounded wings and bipectinate antennae. In the male genitalia, the most typical feature is the medially fused anterior processes of the transtilla but they also all possess a well-developed juxta. The two tribes described by Hering (1937), Chrysopolomini and Achroceridini, were not recovered as monophyletic in the DNA analyses and lacked support from morphological investigations. This is unsurprising considering these two tribes were erected based on the numbers of spurs of the hindtibia, Hering (1937) having clearly provided a caveat that this character was “ irrelevant for phyletic inferences ” and that the tribal divisions were more for “ convenience ”. It has been shown that this character is homoplastic and although not diagnostic at the tribal level, it nevertheless holds true at the generic level throughout Chrysopolomidae. Zolotuhin et al. (2014) however maintained the tribal system based on the similarities of wing pattern, number of tibial spurs and the structure of the transtilla without critically investigating the rather arbitrary nature of Hering’s tribes, while Kurshakov & Zolotuhin (2016) used a similar argument to place Diquisha within Achroceridini focusing on genital similarities rather than the “ spur formula ” which was not in keeping with other members of the tribe. It is possible that from a cursive look, Strigivenifera and Achrocerides could be placed within the same tribe due to similarities in the male genitalia but these genera did not cluster together in the phylogenetic analyses. Furthermore, it could be surmised that Diquishia would be more suited to the tribe Chrysopolomini as opposed to Achroceridini based on distinctions in the external morphology. With the alternative being to erect numerous new tribes, it is concluded herein that Hering’s tribal system is unreliable and is thus dismissed. In the results of the phylogenetic analyses, clade E consisted of Chrysopoloma and Scotinocerides s. s. In the male genitalia, members of both clusters share many affinities, namely a transtilla with two large, medially fused posterior lobes and two large, medially fused, square or rounded anterior lobes, as well as a juxta comprised of a central process with two lateral processes and a near-identical phallus. A distinction was identified however, whereby the uncus of Scotinocerides is noticeably longer and pointier than in the related genus. Externally, all members of clade E are recognisably similar, with broad, rounded, beige wings, although members of Scotinocerides are larger and typically possess a postmedial forewing line whilst Chrysopoloma display a rounded discal spot. An additional distinctive feature between the two genera can be seen in the number of hindtibia spurs, wherein Scotinocerides possesses two pairs whilst Chrysopoloma, and indeed all other members of clade C only have one pair. As such, based on the aforementioned evidence, Scotinocerides and Chrysopoloma are maintained as distinct genera. One taxon, Chrysopoloma restricta Distant, 1899 possesses all of the characteristics of Scotinocerides and is thus transferred into this genus: Scotinocerides restricta (Distant, 1899) comb. n. The recovery of species of Hamartia from Ethiopia within Chrysopoloma s. l. in the phylogenetic analyses was considered surprising at first. Despite externally being very similar to Chrysopoloma species, these are typically slightly smaller, with a smaller, more defined discal spot and can thus be readily distinguished. However, the male genitalia of these Hamartia specimens were found to be identical in structure to Chrysopoloma. Hamartia medora moulini Rougeot, 1977 is hence raised to species level, and transferred to Chrysopoloma thus: Chrysopoloma moulini (Rougeot, 1977) comb. n. The taxon Hamartia paupera johanni Rougeot, 1977 was described in Hamartia despite its nominotypical subspecies having been described as a Chrysopoloma; it is hence assumed that Rougeot (1977) implicitly transferred C. paupera Hering, 1925 to Hamartia. Both H. p. paupera and H. p. johanni are thus transferred to Chrysopoloma: Chrysopoloma paupera paupera Hering, 1925 stat. rev., Chrysopoloma paupera johanni (Rougeot, 1977) comb. n. The remaining Hamartia species, H. medora Hering, 1937 and H. clarissa Hering, 1937, were found in both genetic and morphological analyses to be distinct from other Chrysopoloma. It is likely that this genus, containing species distributed in southern and eastern South Africa are only found in these regions which exhibit unique fynbos and upland habitats that are home to many endemic taxa. Scotinocerides nigrociliata was recovered in the DNA analyses as sister to Achrocerides. Although this species is close in appearance to Scotinocerides, it can be distinguished by the following characters: it is noticeably smaller and more compact than other Scotinocerides that possess a postmedial line on the forewing whilst in the male genitalia it possesses a very large, broad transtilla, the valve is much wider at the base and the gnathos lobes are narrower and not fused apically. Based on the position of this taxon in the phylogeny and the markedly different male genitalia, a new genus is founded thus: Auripoloma gen. n. Strigivenifera and Achrocerides were recovered in the Chrysopolominae and are quite distinct from the Ectropinae (contra Zolotuhin et al. (2014 )). In the male genitalia, they possess medially fused anterior processes of the transtilla typical of the Chrysopolominae, whilst the juxta is comprised of two caudal processes. Although Diquishia was not included in the phylogenetic analyses, the external morphology (especially that of D. ansorgei (Bethune-Baker, 1911) is much more reminiscent of Chrysopolominae than other members of the Ectropinae. For instance, D. ansorgei is considerably larger in size than all members of Ectropinae and it also possesses a faint discal spot on the forewing as seen in the vast majority of Chrysopolominae species. In the male genitalia, the anterior processes of the transtilla are medially fused and not separated as in the Ectropinae. However, it is likely that Diquishia is a derived genus within Chrysopolominae possessing finely marked black veins on the wings, as well as a uniquely shaped phallus which is extremely broad in the anterior half but strongly constricted medially (both synapomorphies of this genus). In addition, both species of the genus appear to be endemic to Angola.

Species of Chrysopoloma and Scotinocerides are very similar in appearance but members of the former are smaller and typically possess a rounded discal spot on the forewing which is absent in the latter. The two genera however can easily be distinguished based on the number of tibial spurs, Chrysopoloma with one pair and Scotinocerides with two. In the male genitalia, the uncus is triangular, apically rounded and noticeably shorter in Chrysopoloma compared to its sibling genus.	en	Taberer, Tabitha R.

Erythropteryx shares affinities with its sister genera Chrysopoloma and Scotinocerides in terms of its habitus, but the forewing is uniform aside from dark speckling along the costa and it appears to always lack the forewing discal spot, often present in the former and the forewing postmedial line which is a characteristic of the latter. The juxta in the male genitalia of E. roseotincta is however very characteristic with two very long lateral processes, which are considerably shorter in members of the aforementioned two genera.	en	Taberer, Tabitha R.

03D187B75925E633FCF23A8FFDAD9A5B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The type species of Diquisha and D. ansorgei, which was placed in the same genus based on similar external morphology by Kurshakov & Zolotuhin (2016) are distinctive species, displaying fine black venation on both wings. Kurshakov & Zolotuhin (2016) were unable to study the male genitalia of D. ansorgei but upon dissection of several specimens as part of this current study, it appears these two species are congeneric based on the ground-plans, especially the anteriorly very wide phallus. There is however a discrepancy with the number of spurs on the hindtibia in the two species, a character that appears to hold true for every other Chrysopolomidae genus. Diquishia morion was said to possess one pair of spurs (Kurshakov & Zolotuhin 2016) yet D. ansorgei has two pairs. Based on the photograph of the hind leg of D. morion in Kurshakov & Zolotuhin (2016), the tarsi are broken off and it could be surmised that the second pair of spurs may have been damaged and lost. Several individuals of other genera with two pairs of tibial spurs examined as part of this study were observed to possess only three spurs or one pair on one tibia but two pairs on the other, suggesting that at least in pinned museum specimens, these spurs do break off. Although it is unlikely that these two species have different spur formulae, without any further material of D. morion it is difficult to come to a confident conclusion with regard this matter.	en	Taberer, Tabitha R.

03D187B75923E633FF703E58FABB9A13.taxon	materials_examined	Type locality. Hossere Miringi [Nigeria] (MfN). Genus description. Medium size. Antennae bipectinate, scaling along flagellum yellow in basal third and then dark grey distally. Ground colour of thorax and abdomen beige; head and collar golden. Forewing broad, rounded, grey / silver in basal half and beige distally with straight, dark brown postmedial line, sometimes gently concave along the Cu veins. Small black scale spots along costal margin giving a speckled appearance up to postmedial line. Costal margin golden; fringe long, golden slightly darker than ground colour. Hindwing yellow-beige, fringe long, golden, slightly scalloped towards anal margin; distal portion of cilia black between vein M 1 and the anal margin. Underside. Ground colour and legs golden; hindtibia with two pairs of spurs. Both wings beige, with faint postmedial line on hindwing which is slightly expanded towards costal margin; indistinct black scaling along costal margin. Male genitalia. Posterior process of transtilla medially split forming two, relatively thick, apically rounded processes; anterior process of transtilla very broad, apically hammerhead-shaped. Valve very wide, short, gradually tapering, distally rounded with slight concavity on distal edge. Juxta strongly sclerotised, square, with two rounded lateral processes and longer, central process. Phallus relatively short, strongly sclerotised and ridged distally, with short membranous vesica.	en	Taberer, Tabitha R.

03D187B75923E633FF703E58FABB9A13.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. At first glance, the single species of Auripoloma with its forewing postmedial line is somewhat reminiscent of Scotinocerides species but it is considerably smaller in size and the black fringe near the anal margin is distinctive. In the male genitalia, the Auripoloma species possesses a very large, broad transtilla which is apically hammer-head shaped, the valve is much wider at the base and the gnathos lobes are narrower and not fused apically.	en	Taberer, Tabitha R.

03D187B75923E633FF703E58FABB9A13.taxon	etymology	Etymology. This genus is dedicated to the Swedish entomologist Christopher Aurivillius, who described the family Chrysopolomidae after noticing that Chrysopoloma could not be placed in either Lasiocampidae or Limacodidae, and further added ten distinct taxa to the family including the only known species of this genus. The suffix ‘ poloma’ is maintained in reference to Chrysopoloma, the genus from which the family name is formed. Species content	en	Taberer, Tabitha R.
