Lichtwardtia fractinervis (Parent, 1929) (in part): Grichanov, 1998: 233, 225, Fig. 9 .

MATERIAL EXAMINED. Angola (A2): Roçadas , R. Cunene, 19–22.II 1972, 10♂ / at light / Southern African Exp. B.M. 1972-1 [ NHML].

NOTES. Males collected from the Cunene River were associated with L. fractinervis by

Grichanov (1998) who noted variability of the material studied. Nevertheless, the latest descriptions of new species (Grichanov, 2004; Tang et al., 2018; this paper) clearly testify that the Figure 9 (Grichanov, 1998) does not correspond with the species concept of L. fractinervis proposed by Parent (1937) and figured by Grichanov (1998: Figs 1 , 11 ). So, I consider those males as belonging to a new species to be described later. It is apparently a sibling species with L. fractinervis , differing reliably from the latter in only hypopygial structures.
