Holotype: female, Uganda, Kabarole District., Kibale National Park, 36N TF 0582 6208, 1500 m, 19–24 x 2014, leg. Leif Aarvik & Knud Larsen; gen. slide no. CIS-7251, COI barcode CBNU080, deposited in NHMO. Paratypes: 1♀, Western, Kibale Forest, Kanyawara 1520 m, 0°33'39''N 30°21'27''E, 23 x 2014, leg. D.J.L. Agassiz; gen. slide no. CIS-7094, COI barcode CBNU076, in NHMUK. Paratypes: 2♀, Uganda, Kibale National Park, Biol. Field Station, 19–24 xi 2014, LF, leg. W. Mey; gen. slide no. CIS-7001, COI barcode CBNU053; gen. slide no. CIS-7038, COI barcode CBNU054, in MfN. Diagnosis.

Holotype: male, Uganda, Mpigi, Mpanga Forest, 25–30 xi 2014, LF, leg. W. Mey; gen. slide no. CIS-7074, COI barcode CBNU061, deposited in MfN. Diagnosis. The male genitalia are similar to those of T. cameroona Park, 2018 ( Figs. 9 G–I), but can be distinguished from the latter by the ventral margin of valva deeply emarginated prior to lower corner of cucullus; cucullus broader and less elongated, with more oblique outer margin distally; juxta broader distally, with wider distance between caudal processes; aedeagus stouter; cornuti consisting of two adjacent, elongated bundles of short scales dorsally and a cluster of variable lengths of spines ventrally ( Fig. 9E), unlike a bundle of long, hair-like scales in T. cameroona ( Fig. 9H). Description. Male ( Figs. 9A, B). Forewing length 7.5 mm...

Male genitalia ( Figs. 20 C–F). Uncus broad, as wide as the basal plate of gnathos, with widely curved caudal margin. Juxta with quadrate caudal plate medially and with triangular caudal processes. Aedeagus slender, shorter than valva. Abdominal sternite VIII slightly concave on caudal margin; tergite VIII crescent. Distribtion. DR Congo (Kamatembe) ( Meyrick 1938). Remarks. Ptilothyris brachysema Meyrick, 1938 was described as a variety of P. crocophracta Meyrick, and it has been treated as a valid species at the Afromoths site ( De Prins & De Prins 20...
