Description
Eridachtha hapalochra Meyrick, 1932
Eridachtha hapalochra Meyrick, 1932: 203; Gozmány 1978: 164. TL: Guinea. [NHMUK].
Material examined. Guinea: 1♀ (holotype), Lola, Guinea (“French Guinea”), June [19]28, slide no. GU-1436/ Sattler, in NHMUK.
Diagnosis. Wingspan 13.0 mm. This species was described on a single female, which was collected in Lola, Guinea. No additional specimen has been reported. The species can be distinguished from its allies occurring in the Afrotropical Region by a smaller size (wingspan: 13 mm), the light yellow-ochreous head, thorax, and forewing ground colour. At least, all new species described in the present paper, excepting the Eridachtha gymnopalpa species-group, can be distinguished from E. hapalochra Meyrick by their forewing ground colour which is never light yellow-ochreous. It is known that the holotype is in NHMUK (slide no. GU-1436/Sattler), but we had no chance to examine it. According to the original description, vein R 3 is free (“separate”) in the forewing of this species, as in the taxa placed by Janse (1954, 1963) in Atrichozancla.
Female genitalia: 1♀ (holotype), Lola, Guinea (“ French Guinea ”), June [19]28, slide no. GU-1436/ Sattler, in NHMUK.
Male unknown.
Distribution. Guinea (Lola).
