3. Thubdora nemophorella (Ghesquière, 1940), comb. nov.

(Figs. 22 A–E)

Ptilothyris nemophorella Ghesquière, 1940: 107 . TL: DR Congo. [RMCA].

Material examined. 1♂ (holotype), DR Congo, Eala [95 km E of Mbandaka], ix 1935, leg. J. Ghesquière, gen. slide no. CIS-7097, deposited in RMCA .

Male genitalia (Figs. 22C, D): Characterized by uncus bifurcated, with more or less slender latero-caudal processes; valva elongated, with large concavity in basal part; cucullus narrowed toward apex; juxta rectangular, forked in U-shape caudally, with slender, heavily sclerotized caudal processes.

Distribtion. DR Congo (Eala) (Ghesquière 1940).

Remarks. The forewing pattern is similar to that of Ptilothyris Walsingham, but the antenna is serrate, not bipectinate, and the uncus is bifurcate caudally. Thus, this species is transferred to Thubdora, but it needs further study when additional material is available.
