Laspeyresia salticola : Razowski and Krüger 2007: 156 . Eucosmocydia prolixa Razowski and Wojtusiak 2012: 9 , new synonym . Eucosma salticola was described from 12 specimens , including both sexes, from Barberton, Three Sisters, and Waterval Onder, Transvaal, South Africa . According to Razowski and Krüger (2007) , in addition to the male holotype , there are five paratypes in the DMP. The female holotype and its genitalia were figured by Razowski and Krüger (2007 : fig. 147, 310, respectively). Eucosmocydia prolixa was described from a holotype male from the Obudu Plateau , Nigeria ; the description was accompanied by illustrations of the adult and genitalia ( Razowski and Wojtusiak 2012 : fig. 36, 131). Based on forewing maculation and morphology of the male genitalia, E. prolixa is almost certainly conspecific with E. salticola . One of us (LA) has dissected specimens from South Africa , Malawi , Kenya , and Uganda that superficially resemble the type specimen of E. salticola figured by Razowski and Krüger (2007 : fig. 147), and the genitalia of those specimens are nearly indistinguishable from those illustrated by Razowski and Krüger (2007 , female) and Razowski and Wojtusiak (2012 , male). Although the adult of E. prolixa has a slightly different forewing color, the pattern is essentially the same as that of E. salticola , and the female genitalia of E. salticola strongly resemble those of E. prolixa (see Agassiz and Aarvik 2014 : fig. 33).
