The species was identified as a member of + +Metarbelodes +Strand, 1909 + +due to four spurs on hind tibia, presence of a cossoid gnathos in the male genitalia ( +Fig. 3 +) and similar wing venation ( +Fig. 4 +). Morphological differences between + +Lukeniana + +and + +Metarbelodes + +are minimal. The geographic positions of the new localities are marked in +Fig. 17 +.

Postmedial band brown over its whole length; weak antemedial fascia; round spot near the middle of the cell and a reniform black spot near the transverse vein of the cell; postmedial line brown, slightly curved outwards near the M-veins, strongly curved inwards to base of wing near Cu-vein.

This yellow color is quite common among species of +Pyraustinae +and Spilomelinae and + +C. pastrinalis +( +Guenée,1854 +) + +can easily be confused with other similar looking species. This species is externally similar to + +Patania straminea +( +Butler,1875 +) + + +comb. nov. + +originally described from +South Africa +, but + +P. straminea + +lacks the round median spot in the cell. On the other hand, this median spot is found in + +Pramadea ultratrinalis +( +Marion,1954 +) + + +comb. nov. + +originally described from +Madagascar +, but the forewing is more elongated triangular and the ground color is more rich-yellow and the brown subterminal band on the wings is more undulated and not straight. The two similar species were dissected and the new combinations are based on the genitalia. + + + +Cristabotys pastrinalis +( +Guenée,1854 +) + +was originally placed in + +Botys + +now + +Pyrausta +Schrank 1802 + +[Apr.24] and although it resembles externally some + +Pyrausta +species + +(wing pattern, labial and maxillary palps), the genitalia place it in the Spilomelinae, because of the overall structure of the male genitalia (uncus, tegumen, valva), tympanal organs and female genitalia. The male genitalia are quite peculiar in the presence of the comb-like structure and the lack of a fibula on the valva. Currently this genus is not attributed to a tribus because of the peculiar transtilla. The distribution of the species mentioned here is only based on specimens actually studied and dissected but this species probably occurs over large parts of Africa. More material may be in collections from different localities but at present these are likely to be misidentified/overlooked because of the external resemblance with other species. The study of material from different collections of +Crambidae +from Africa will likely result in a greater geographic range for the species. + + +Additional material from similar species studied: + + +Holotype + +: + +Pachyzancla ultratrinalis +Marion,1954 + +: +Madagascar +central, +Massif de l'Ankaratra +, +Manjakatompo +; Gen. slide nr. +♂ +517 (Marion) [rectangular label “Type”, red] ( +MNHN +); +♂ +: +Madagascar +Est Marojely Rés. nat. int. xii +Ambatosoratra +sommet + +1700m + +11.1960 +P.

The large and broad tegumen without any of the “normal“ appendages as uncus, socii or gnathos, as well as the large phallus and small valva separate it from all known genera and species of the family. + +Simpligena auromarginea + +shows some resemblance with + +Hystrichophora +Walsingham, 1879 + +which has falcate forewings and male genitalia with a large tegumen and a large and curved phallus as in the present new genus. However, the uncus in + +Hystrichophora + +is well developed, and in the female genitalia the signa are different, and the ductus seminalis has a different position ( +Agassiz, 2011 +; +Agassiz & Aarvik, 2014 +; +Razowski, 2015 +). + + + + +Description: + + +Head: +Roughly scaled; labial palp 1.4 times diameter of eye, terminal segment short, barely visible due to scaling of second segment; antenna with appressed scales, distally serrate. + + +Thorax: +smooth-scaled.
