Material examined. DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO: 1 ♂ Bas-Congo, Nat. Res. Luki-Mayumbe, 05° 37 ’S 13 °05’E, 320 m, 6.vi. 2007, J. & W. De Prins, genitalia slide L. Aarvik 2013.013; 1 ♀ same data 16.v. 2007; 1 ♀ 5.iv. 2006, genitalia slide L. Aarvik 2013.014; 1 ♀ 12.iv. 2006 ( RMCA).

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.
