MATERIAL. Holotype ♂, Uganda, Napak Mt., Moroto, 01.2008 ( MSW, GenPr MSW 2015 /18-Coss) . Paratype 1 ♀, Uganda, Eastern
Region, Mt. Elgon, Umg. Bukwo, N01°23.402 ' / E 34°71.680 ', 10.01.2011, leg. Harald Sulak & Tom Kolb ( MWM, GenPr Heterocera MWM: 32.873)
DESCRIPTION. Male. Length of fore wing 15 mm. Antenna bipectinate. Crest processes 3 times longer than antenna rod diameter.Tegulae and patagia grey. Fore wing grey, with poorly expressed reticulated pattern and thin black bands in submarginal and postdiscal areas; poorly expressed blurred brown spot in discal area, black elongated stroke along vein À1+ 2 in discal area. Fringe on fore wing mottled, grey at veins and white between veins. Hind wing pale grey, with poorly expressed grey sputtering, anal area pale brown, fringe grey, unicolorous.
Male genitalia ( Fig. 14 View Figs 12–16 ). Uncus long, triangle, apically sharp; gnathos arms of medium thickness; gnathos compact, densely covered with spikes; valve apically lanceolate, membranous, tubercle on costal edge in the zone of transition of sclerotized (proximal) part to membranous (distal) part, three blurred ribs on inner surface of valve, the most pronounced of which is closest to the top; transtilla process short, uncinate, curved in medium third; juxta robust, with lateral processes diverged to sides; saccus of medium size, semi-circular; phallus shorter than valve, thick, slightly curved on border of distal and medial thirds, vesica aperture in dorso-apical position, equals to 1/3 of phallus in length, edges smooth; vesica without cornuti.
Female bigger than male, length of fore wing 20 mm. Antenna bipectinate, processes very short, almost equal to antenna rod diameter. Tegulae and patagia pale brown. Fore wing wider than that of male, colored more contrast, dark elements significantly more expressed, well developed black bands in submarginal, postdiscal and discal areas, bright brown spot in discal area. Hind wing pale grey, with poorly expressed grey strokes.
Female genitalia ( Fig. 15 View Figs 12–16 ). Papillae anales narrow, cylindrical; oblique notches on lateral surfaces of ovipositor; posterior apophyses twice longer than anterior ones; ostium poorly submerged, oval; antrum cup-like, sclerotized; ductus short, wide; bursa long, bag-like.
DIAGNOSIS. The new species is well distinguished in the male genital structure — the blurred ribs on the valve inner surface and the completely reduced double dentiform process on the vesica aperture edges.
