( Figs 9–10 , 25 , 36 )

Meganola nanographa Hacker, 2012 , Esperiana 17: 564. Type locality: Uganda, Mabira Forest. Holotype, male (NHMO). BOLD process/DNA barcode id.: GWOSG784-10/BC ZSM Lep 41781.

Material examined. Gabon. 6 males, 3 females, 430m, Mikongo (Rougier), Monts de Cristal (Secondary Forest), 0°29’47”N, 11°10’42”E, 28.vii.–12.viii.2019, Actinic, MV and LepiLED Light Trap, Albert, J-L., Aristophanous, M., Bie Mba, J., Derozier, V., Moretto, P. leg., ANHRT:2019.17, gen. slide Nos: LGNA 1227 (male), LGNA 1228 (female), BOLD process/DNA barcode ids: ANLMN2802-21/ANHRTUK00137825, ANLMN2803-21/ ANHRTUK00138677, ANLMN2804-21/ANHRTUK00162579 ( ANHRT) .

Description of the female genitalia ( Fig. 36 ). Ovipositor rather short and broad, papilla analis trapezoidal, posterior apophysis moderately long and thick. Eighth tergite very short, medially constricted, anterior apophysis 20% shorter than posterior one, rather thin. Ostium bursae moderately sclerotized, cup-shaped, ductus bursae tubular, relatively long, moderately thick; cervix bursae unmodified, ductus seminalis relatively thick. Distal tubular part of corpus bursae short, ca. one-fifth of bursa length, dilated proximal part of corpus bursae ovoid, with two small, sclerotized, amorphous plates of signa, each bearing very short, acute process; signa situated wide apart from one another.

Genetic information. The species has been assigned the BIN URI: BOLD:AAQ1292. The average intraspecific pairwise distance according to BOLD is 0.40%. The nearest neighbour of H. nanographa is H. argyropasta with 3.31% pairwise distance between the two species. The genetic divergence between H. nanographa and H. elachistomorpha is discussed under the latter species.
