FIGURE 2 . Homaloxestis lactizonalis sp. nov. : A, adult, holotype; B, ditto, lateral view; C, venation, wing slide no. CIS-7117/ Park; D, male genitalia, gen. slide no. CIS-7254/Park; E, ditto, aedeagus; F, abdominal segments VII–VIII. Scale bar: D, E = 0.5 mm. Distribution. Cameroon ( Park 2018 ; De Prins & De Prins 2019 ), Gabon ( Park 2018 ), Kenya ( Park & De Prins 2019b ), South Africa ( Janse 1954 ), DR Congo ( new record ), Tanzania ( new record ), Uganda ( new record ). Remarks. S ince Gozmány synonymized H. lophophora with H. cholopis (Meyrick) , the identification of H. lophophora has been confused by recent authors, including Park (2018) . Recently Park & De Prins (2019b) re-examined both species, comparing their male & female genitalia, and re-established H. lophophora as a valid species which is supported by COI barcode sequences ( Fig. 3 ).
