( Figs. 5 A–E) Lecithocera ankasokella Viette, 1968: 89 . TL: Lakato. Type . 1♂ ( holotype ), East Madagascar , road to Lakato , at km 15, Ankasoka , alt. 1,100 m , 2–10 i 1959 , P. Viette leg.; Lecithocera ankasokella n. sp. , Holotype , P. Viette ; genitalia: prep. J. Minet no. 1662. Adult ( Figs. 5A, B ). Wingspan, 22.5 mm . This species is superficially similar to Torodora hiarakella ( Viette, 1988 ) , especially in the forewing colour pattern with orange-white costal band along margin, however, it can be distinguished from the latter by having two small, triangular costal patches beyond half. Hind wing has M 2 present, M 3 and CuA 1 stalked. Abdominal segments ( Fig. 5E ) have strong spines triangularly distributed on segment II–VII dorsally, but rare in the segment I and not in VIII . Male genitalia ( Figs. 5C, D ): Uncus narrowly elongated, with an expansion medially. Valva broad basally; costa strongly concaved; ventral margin emarginated before cucullus; cucullus narrow basally, then slightly broadened distally with rounded outer margin. Juxta large, without caudal lobes. Aedeagus slender, as long as valva; cornuti consist of numerous spinules in a long sac. Remarks. The species was originally described, based on a single specimen, but the genitalia of the holotype was not dissected by Viette (1968) and the third author dissected and illustrated for the first time. Distribution. Madagascar (East) (Viette, 1968).
