Figs 7, 22 HOLOTYPE : TMSA , without registration number; ♀ ; [ Zimbabwe , 20°27’S , 32°43’E ] Mt. Selinda ; 8-17.II.1952 ; H. Cookson , Holotype Crambus frescobaldii n. sp. G. Bassi det. 2011, GS 4000 GB. ETYMOLOGY: The species is named after the Italian composer Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643). DIAGNOSIS: More yellowish than the other species of the mozarti complex. In female genitalia the lamella postvaginalis is apically concave as opposed to truncated or rounded in the other species of the complex. DESCRIPTION (Fig. 7): Wingspan 20 mm . Palpi 4.5 X longer than widest diameter of eye, white on inner side, bronzed brown with white basis on outer side. Maxillary palpi bronzed brown with white tip. Frons produced, rounded, with brown and white scales. Antennae simple, brown, with costa white on scape and first third of flagellum, otherwise glossy brown. Ocelli and chaetosemata well developed. Head white with small dot of light brown scales in middle. Patagium laterally golden brown, medially white. Tegulae golden brown. Thorax medially white, laterally brown. Forewings golden yellow-brown; costal line brown in basal third, lighter toward apex; subterminal area narrow, wider at apex; terminal line brown with 3-4 terminal dots; FIGS 22-26 Male and female genitalia of Crambus spp. , scale bars 0.5 mm .

FEMALE GENITALIA (Fig. 22): Papillae anales simple, without medial fold, but with membranous and speculate dorsal fold. Apophyses posteriores medium sized, with wide bulge apically. Ostium very wide, trapezoidal, clearly producing from lamella postvaginalis. Lamella postvaginalis with upper margin quite concave and with wide arms, narrowing to level of proximal third of ductus. Corpus bursae short, with poorly sclerotized patch that could be a subvestigial signum. DISTRIBUTION: The new species is only known from the type locality in Zimbabwe .
