Holotype: male. Type locality: Beira , Mozambique ( 19°49’S 34°52’E ). Etymology. Not originally stated, however, probably from Latin gloriosus , - a , - um , adjective (glorious, full of glory; famous, renowned). Probably referring to both Pedro Álvares Cabral and the striking beauty of the species (Pantaleoni, pers. comm.). Material examined: 29 specimens from Zimbabwe , Mozambique ( BMNH , NMBZ , SANC , TMSA ). See table 1. Type material examined. Holotype: Database no.: BMNH00231; ♂ (BMNH). Label data: ‘Port. E. Afr. / Beira. / G.A.K. Marshall. / 1907-52 .’ (White rectangle). ‘Cabralis / gloriosus / Nav.’ (White rectangle). ‘Type’ (Red bordered label). ‘BMNH(E) / 1239051’ (White rectangle). Abdomen cleared by Bakkes in 2014, placed in a glycerine-filled microvial pinned below specimen. Diagnosis. Adults of species may be distinguished by (1) pronotal pattern of anteriorly-directed white trident shape with minor thickening on middle stripe ( Fig. 6 ), (2) male mediuncus thin curved in lateral view (Fig. 8). Redescription. ♂ Length body 10–13mm , forewing 17–20mm , hind wing 15–18mm . ♀ Length body 12–14mm , forewing 19–21.5mm , hind wing 17–19.5mm . Head with dark yellow hue. Thorax with pronotum dark brownish with anteriorly-directed white trident-like pattern comprising middle stripe and two shorter lateral stripes, middle stripe with minor thickening ( Fig. 6 ). Wings . Forewing marked with varying number of spots, large and strong, dark brownish and pale yellowish brown ( Fig. 5 ). Abdomen dark brown, blackish. Male terminalia . Mediuncus strongly decurved, very long, narrow hook shape in lateral view (Fig. 8), apex flattened, bearing setae, dorsal face also bearing setae. Female terminalia . Sternite VII posterior margin deeply depressed, emarginate medially, forming narrow, slender, oblique copulatory fovea in ventral view (Fig. 13); invagination internal, posteriorly-directed, hook shape in lateral view (visible after maceration). Egg. Length ± 1.5mm by width ± 0.7mm Eggs laid singly in low numbers (observed specimen laid only one egg); not stalked (Fig. 15), oval in shape, reduced anterior micropylar projection (Fig. 15); gelatinous secretion for granular adhesion as noted by Tillyard (1919a) in Psychopsis elegans ( Guérin-Méneville, [1844] ); coated in green, brown, whitish material seemingly derived from leaf or bark detritus (Fig. 15); bearing small, singly placed hairs protruding past outer margins (Fig. 15); egg laid in late January from wild-caught individual; egg was not reared. Distribution. South-east Africa: eastern Zimbabwe , Mozambique ( Fig. 4 ). Moist and dense forest habitats, often associated with afromontane forests.
