Diagnosis.
Wingspan 15.0–18.0 mm. The forewing is broader and darker than in other species with similar pattern. The hindwing is dark grey, with a rounded concavity before the anal corner. In the male genitalia (
Fig. 29
) the broad uncus has spines, and the very long phallus are characteristic. The female genitalia (
Fig. 37
) differ from those of
C. albonigra
by having the ductus seminalis arising from the ductus bursae far from corpus bursae.
Distribution.
Conaspasia sophrona
is known from
Nigeria
(
Razowski & Wojtusiak 2012
) and the
Democratic Republic of Congo
.
