’ Hampsonola ’ elachistonana ( Hacker, 2014)

( Figs 42 , 83 )

Nolidia elachistonana Hacker, 2014 , Esperiana 19: 140. Type locality: RSA, Mpumalanga, Hazyview. Holotype female, in coll. D. Stadie.

Material examined: Mozambique, Maputo Special Reserve. 1 ♀, 22m, West Gate, Sand Forest , 26°30'14.2"S, 32°42'59.6"E, 13–15.ii.2018 MV Light Trap Laszlo, G., Mulvaney, J., Smith, L. leg., slide No.: LGNA 508 ♀ (coll. ANHRT).

Remark. The species was described based on its unique female holotype. A single female specimen was collected in the Maputo Special Reserve, which represents the second known specimen of the species. As the male

has remained unknown to date, the generic placement of elachistonana is rather tentative but according to the external similarity to H. elachistomorpha and the configuration of its female genitalia, this species probably also belongs to Hampsonola . New country record for Mozambique.
