( Figs. 22 View FIGURE 22 A–E)

Ptilothyris nemophorella Ghesquière, 1940: 107 View in CoL . TL: DR Congo. [RMCA].

Material examined. 1♂ (holotype), DR Congo, Eala [95 km E of Mbandaka], ix 1935, leg. J. Ghesquière, gen. slide no. CIS-7097, deposited in RMCA .

Male genitalia ( Figs. 22C, D View FIGURE 22 ): Characterized by uncus bifurcated, with more or less slender latero-caudal processes; valva elongated, with large concavity in basal part; cucullus narrowed toward apex; juxta rectangular, forked in U-shape caudally, with slender, heavily sclerotized caudal processes.

Distribtion. DR Congo (Eala) (Ghesquière 1940).

Remarks. The forewing pattern is similar to that of Ptilothyris Walsingham , but the antenna is serrate, not bipectinate, and the uncus is bifurcate caudally. Thus, this species is transferred to Thubdora , but it needs further study when additional material is available.
