ETYMOLOGY: The new name was used by Błeszyński on a label pinned to the holotype . I am pleased to apply his name to the description of this new taxon. The name refers to the poor development of the uncus. DIAGNOSIS: Easily distinguishable from the other species of the mozarti complex by the dark wing coloration and in male genitalia by the cucullus bent upward and vesica with five cornuti. DESCRIPTION (Fig. 9): Wingspan 20 mm . Labial palpi 2.5 X longer than widest diameter of eye, rubbed. Frons clearly produced, rounded, white with creamy brown scales. Antennae serrate, brown with silvery costa. Ocelli present. Chaetosemata poorly developed. Head tricolored, white, mostly creamy brown and brown around chaetosemata. Patagium medially white, laterally brown. Tegulae brown with inner margin whitish. Thorax whitish. Forewings bronze brown in costal half, grayish brown in dorsal half; costal margin silvery white in apical third; apex pointed; medial silvery stripe well developed, with bronze brown margins, reaching wing outer margin; submarginal line silvery, angled around cell; subterminal dots 5, small; terminal line bronze brown; fringes white in apex area, then grayish brown. Hindwings translucid, light brown; fringes white suffused brown. Legs bronze brown. MALE GENITALIA (Fig. 19): Uncus subvestigial and membranous. Gnathos broadly bilobed, poorly sclerotized. Tegumen almost fused with vinculum, with two symmetrical pedunculi as long as gnathos lobes. Vinculum stubby, with slight dorsal extension. Pseudosaccus well developed, narrow. Valva concave with costal swelling rounded; cucullus with one tip bent upward. Phallus clearly longer than valva, with one lateral tooth and one small apical tooth; vesica with 5 medium-sized cornuti. FEMALE GENITALIA: Unknown. DISTRIBUTION: The new species is only known from the type locality in Ethiopia .
