Democratic Republic of Congo.  Province: Tshopo. Yangambi reserve, 100 km. WNW Kisangani, 0º45'49"N, 24º30'17"E, 450 m ASL. 14.- 23.v.2012, leg. et coll. KL, later ZMUC. Gen. prep. 4952 ♂ KL.</p><p>Paratypes: 4♀ same data as the holotype. Gen. prep. 4946 ♀ KL, 4947 ♀ KL and 4951 ♀ KL.</p><p>Description</p><p>Imago: (Fig. 3-4). Wingspan ♂ 8 mm, ♀ 8-11 mm. Head and thorax very dark grey, scales yellow tipped. Segments of abdomen grey and black ringed last segment pure black; underside more light grey and shining. Antenna about half the length of the forewing, dark grey and yellow ringed. Labial palps short and grey with yellow tipped scales. Legs light grey and shining, black ringed with rather long white spurs.</p><p>Forewings: Triangular, with a slightly indented termen. Ground colour is dark brown to black. Basal blotch with numerous yellow dots more or less arranged in stripes. Antemedian fascia bend, bluish violet and shiny, ending at costa in two whitish strigula. Median fascia is broad with parallel sides before the angle towards the costa. Dark brown to black with an area with yellow dots placed in longitudinal stripes. At the costa and towards the postmedian fascia there are no stripes. Postmedian fascia half circular in shape two thirds of the wing from dorsum. Shiny bluish-violet and more strongly shining in the female. After two thirds bends sharply outwards and edged by orange line forming a costal strigula, which is more pronounced in the female. Three orange and white strigulae are present towards the apex. Termen with a fine black dividing line, cilia light brown to grey. Underside of forewings dark brown with strong bluish-violet sheen when held at right angle. Costa with 5 to 7 clear white strigula and more sharply marked in the female.</p><p>Hindwings: Male hindwings have a short anal extension, while the female hindwings are normally rounded. The hindwings of the male are dark brown at the dorsal half, while the rest is orange brown and lighter towards the anal margin. The extended anal area is dark brown. The female´s hindwing slightly darker brown, lighter towards basal part. Underside of hindwings grayish brown.</p><p>Male genitalia: (Fig. 5). Valva elongate with large cucullus, hairy in central part and with very small sclerotized thorn close to the ventral side, costa strongly curved and slightly asymmetrical. Pedunculus and uncus weak and simple, phallus bottle shaped, slightly enlarged towards apex.</p><p>Female genitalia: (Figs 6-7). Papilla analis rather large. Apophyses posterior slender, apophyses anterior stronger and longer. Sterigma weak, cup shaped broad, lamella postvaginalis with scale sockets. Subgenital plate cone shaped, deeply indented dorsally and rather broad. Very strong sclerotized folds along lateral edges of tergum seven. Ostium very weak. Ductus bursae elongate, thin and fragile especially at colliculum, longitudinal folds in the medium part, widening before bursae. Colliculum very weak, slightly curved. Bursae large with two straight thornlike signa. Eighth segment dorsally densely setose.</p><p>Results of DNA analysis: One specimen was analysed.  Coccothera sample ID: TLMF Lep 26296. Barcode index number registry for BOLD: ADN1996  shows distance to nearest neighbor at 6.57%.  Distance model:  Pairwise distance; marker: COI- 5P. Pairwise deletion. (BOLD: Guelph, Canada accessed 31.x.2024).</p><p>Diagnosis</p><p>Coccothera yangambiana sp. nov. is close to  C. cipollana (Larsen, 2023 b) but differs by the direction of the stripes in the basal blotch and the median fascia. The postmedian fascia is sharper angled and the blackish blotch at the costa of the median fascia is larger along with the blackish areas in the termen. The shape of the hindwings of the male is characteristic. The valva is broad, curved at the costa and with a very tiny thorn in the cucullus; the female has a deep indented subgenital plate, lateral edges of tergum seven are very strongly sclerotized, eighth segment is densely setose dorsally.</p><p>Biology</p><p>The species is only known from the five type specimens all collected in  May by light at Yangambi. Vegetation is dense impenetrable tropical forest on slopes leading down to the Congo River. Host plant is not known.

Democratic Republic of Congo. Province: Tshopo.  Yangambi reserve, 100 km. WNW Kisangani, 0º45'49"N, 24º30'17"E, 450 m ASL. 14.- 23.v.2012, leg. et coll. KL, later ZMUC. Gen. prep. 4949 ♂ KL.</p><p>Description Imago: (Figs. 8-9). Wingspan ♂ 7 mm. Head, thorax and abdomen dark grey with a few yellow tipped scales. Antennae less than half the length of the forewing, dark grey and yellow ringed underneath yellow in the first half. Labial palps short and light yellow, mixed with black scales mainly towards the apex. Legs light yellow, but the last segment of the legs ringed black. Spurs are white.</p><p>Forewings: Regular shaped, costa slightly convex, ground colour dark brown to black. Basal blotch and median fascia with scattered yellow spots arranged in diffuse stripes. Antemedian and postmedian fascia narrow and angled towards the costa and shiny leaden in colour and with a minute leaden shiny dot in the middle of the angle. Five costal white strigula towards the apex and a diffuse dark subterminal blotch. Termen with a black dividing line, cilia light yellow. Underside very different with a large whitish area along dorsum and another more diffuse elongate whitish area at the centre of the wing. This area is bordered with scattered black scales in a larger blotch towards costa and a smaller one basally. The terminal part of the wing is more chocolate brown coloured.</p><p>Hindwings: Slightly irregular shaped with a rounded extension at termen. Dark orange-brown, darker at the costa, with patches of black scales at the basal part and which also form a prominent oval whitish spot laterally. Undersides the same but the scattered black scales at the basal part are more exposed and also form an elongate black-scaled area along the basal half of the costa.</p><p>Male genitalia: (Fig. 10). Valva elongate, with a large cucullus nearly half the size of the valva. Cucullus setose with a large slender thorn at the ventral side. Sacculus with long rather weak hairy scales. Pedunculus very weak, uncus short and simple, phallus bottle shaped with almost parallel sides towards apex.</p><p>Diagnosis</p><p>Coccothera willydeprinsi sp. nov. is defined by the diffuse standard “  Coccothera ” pattern with a minute leaden dot in the median fascia and by the oval whitish areas on the underside of the forewing and the oval whitish area in the corner of the underside of the hindwing, which is different from other species in the genus. In the male genitalia the species is characterized by the elongate and strongly setose cucullus, with the long and thin thorn at the ventral side. These presented structures are unique in the  Coccothera genus.</p><p>Biology</p><p>The species is only known from the single type specimen collected in May by light at Yangambi. Vegetation of the type locality is dense impenetrable tropical forest on the slopes leading down to the Congo River. Host plant is not known. The type locality at Yangambi is illustrated in Fig. 2.</p><p>Distribution</p><p>DRC. Democratic Republic of Congo: Province: Tshopo.</p><p>Etymology</p><p>The species is named in honor of the well-known European entomologist Willy De Prins (Leefdal, Belgium), who participated in the expedition.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/443BEB2C831EFFADB4A587E99BD7FEAB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Termen with black dividing line, cilia grey-brown. Underside dark brown with tiny basal silvery blotch. Along costa a triangular dark brown area with few white strigula. At the dorsum in the basal part a pencil of white very thin sex scales– a cubital pecten (Fig. 12). The structure is bent down from the underside of the forewing allowing a photo to be taken. This type of cubital pecten in the genus  Coccothera is otherwise only known from  Coccothera spissana (Zeller, 1852) (Larsen, 2023a) . Underside brown.</p><p>Hindwings: Brown, lighter at the basal part.</p><p>Male genitalia: (Fig. 13).
