Some Prionotalis [i.e. P. balia (Tams, 1932)] also have forewing yellow marbled with brown, but their apex of forewing is more pointed. In the male genitalia the combination of modified uncus and the very long and narrow valva represents a distinctive feature. In the female genitalia the lateral extension of medium length branching off in the middle of the ductus bursae and the ductus seminalis originating close to the lateral extension, are unique among related genera except for the prepiella species complex in the inornata group in Ancylolomia (Bassi &amp; Trematerra, 2014). In this complex, however, the lateral extension is always very thin.</p> <p>The holotype and the female paratype from Zambia of A. oblongissima are barcoded, showing intraspecific distance of 1.27% and distance of 9.36% from Charltona tritonella (Hampson, 1898) and 7.74% from Charltona plurivittalis Hampson, 1910. However, the paucity of available barcoded specimens of Ancylolomia and allied genera does not allow a comprehensive DNA comparison, and in the future more molecular markers should be analysed to be conclusive on the relationships to other genera of Ancylolomiini.</p> <p>Etymology: The generic name is a combination of afro (from Africa) and Charltona, the probably closest genus. The gender of the new genus is feminine.</p> <p>Description: Medium to large species, with labial palpi rather short (2.5 - 3 x eye diameter in side view), ocelli and chaetosemata poorly developed, narrow forewing with rounded apex and arched termen.</p> <p>Male genitalia. Uncus slightly longer than gnathos (1.1 x), heavily bulged dorsally and with blunt and wrinkled apex. Gnathos subtriangular, slightly upcurved apically. Tegumen with slender arms, tegumen roof 0.3 of tegumen arm length. Vinculum v-shaped, moderately produced dorsally. Juxta suboval, more or less folded medially. Pseudosaccus a small plate fused with juxta. Valva strongly elongated, tapering towards apex; costal process always developed over cucullus. Phallus stout, 0.6 x valva length, with phallobase downcurved.</p> <p>Female genitalia. Papillae anales subtriangular, rounded ventrally. Apophyses well developed, roughly the length of papillae anales. Ostium concave, with sclerotized edge. Ductus bursae elongated, sclerotized and bearing a narrow lateral extension. Ductus seminalis originating at the middle of ductus bursae. Corpus bursae oval, wrinkled.</p> <p>Biology: Unknown.</p> <p>Distribution: Central Africa and Northern part of Southern Africa.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/B665EF3FFFCFFFF392E22882FE86F97E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In the male genitalia the combination of strongly developed uncus and gnathos with the short and triangular tegumen and the strong pars basalis of the valva differ from related genera. In the female genitalia the heavily sclerotized ninth abdominal segment with the apophyses posteriores fused inside it, and the eighth abdominal segment – except for their apex –, are unique among Afrotropical Crambinae. Diploschistis with its sole species D. stygiocrena Meyrick, 1937, seems related to Afroromieuxia in the female genitalia (Fig. 21) with the ninth abdominal segment partially sclerotized, but its apophyses posteriores are not fused in the eighth abdominal segment and both adult (Fig. 6) and male genitalia (Fig. 15) are far from Afroromieuxia species.</p> <p>DNA analysis of the holotype of A. ustjuzhanini, the more recent specimen studied, failed to provide any product usable for sequencing. Only future analysis could fully clarify the relationship with other genera of Ancylolomiini.</p> <p>Etymology: The generic name is a combination of afro (from Africa) and Romieux, in honour of Jean Romieux (1893-1951) of Geneva, a pioneer of Lepidoptera research in the Democratic Republic of the Congo whose material was essential for the present study. The gender of the new genus is feminine.</p> <p>Description: Medium to large species, with labial palpi long (3.5-4 x eye diameter in side view). Ocelli and chaetosemata well developed, subrectangular forewing, straight termen and well developed and straight subterminal fascia.</p> <p>Male genitalia. Uncus and gnathos fully developed. Tegumen subtriangular, with short arms; tegumen roof 0.5 x tegumen arm length. Vinculum stout, with arms subrectangular and strong dorsal projection. Juxta broad, v-shaped. Valva elongated, tapering towards apex; costal process strongly developed, 0.4 x valva length. Phallus stout, 1.3 x valva length, with two subapical lateral teeth. Female genitalia. Papillae anales well developed, concave. Apophyses posteriores fused inside eighth abdominal segment, with apex short. Sterigma rounded, slightly produced anteriorly. Ostium membranous.Ductus bursae 0.5 to 0.7 the length of corpus bursae, funnelshaped. Ductus seminalis originating from posterior half of ductus bursae.
