Descriptions of new Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) reared from native fruit in Kenya Author Razowski, Józef Author Brown, John W. text Zootaxa 2012 3222 1 27 journal article 45308 10.5281/zenodo.280255 9d264785-6035-49e2-b6cf-29e3022a6e80 1175-5326 280255 Cosmetra Diakonoff, 1977 Type species: Cosmetra anthophaga Diakonoff, 1977 . Cosmetra includes three species restricted to the Afrotropical region: C. anthophaga Diakonoff, 1977 ( type species) from Réunion Island, C. rythmosema Diakonoff, 1992 from Madagascar , and C. neka Razowski & Brown, 2009 from South Africa . We provisionally assign to the genus two new species described below and transfer Sycacantha nereidopa ( Meyrick, 1937 ) to Cosmetra , new combination . Based on recent work focused on the Afrotropical Region, Razowski et al. (2010) synonymized Polychrosis hendrickxi Ghesquière, 1940 (TL: Belgian Congo [ Zaire ]) with Eucosma nereidopa Meyrick, 1927 (TL: Kenya Colony [ Kenya ]) and its synonym Eucosma phylloscia ( Meyrick, 1937 ) (TL: Uganda ), and transferred them to Sycacantha (Olethreutini) . They provided illustrations of the holotype adult and male genitalia of P. hendrickxi ( Razowski et al. 2010 : figs. 37, 81). Illustrations of the holotypes of S. nereidopa and S. phylloscia can be found in Clarke (1958: 376) . Below we describe two new species from Kenya reared from native fruit that are morphologically similar to nereidopa , the latter of which is a well-known pest of coffee in Africa (e.g., Coffee Research Services 1963 ; Evans 1968 , 1970 ; Waller et al. 2007 ; Hill 2008 ). There is little question that these African species are congeneric, and based on the female genitalia they do not belong in Sycancatha or in Olethreutini . We provisionally describe our two new species in Cosmetra Diakonoff, 1977 and provisionally transfer nereidopa to that genus. However, it is likely that the three require a new genus.
