Type locality: Democratic Republic of the Congo.</p> <p>Remarks. The type species was described from three males syntypes from Elisabethville (currently Lubumbashi, DRC) (ex-coll. Seydel). The examination of the type series, deposited in RMCA, shows that the genus is actually very close to Charltona. The male genitalia differ in the strong development of the vinculum and in the phallus subapically broadened, as opposed to the moderate development of the vinculum and cylindrical phallus in Charltona. A revision of the genus Charltona including examination of Cypholomia leptodeta is needed in order to ascertain the validity of Cypholomia. Meyrick (1934) described two additional species of Cypholomia: C. amphiaula and C. crypsibela. Both have genitalia structure rather different from that of C. leptodeta and are respectively transferred to Ancylogastra Bassi &amp; Poltavsky, gen. n. and Prionotalis, below.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EF87C15053FFEFFF22F894E107FE40	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Medium to large sized species, somewhat similar to Ancylolomia Staudinger and Charltona members, from which it is distinguished by the longer labial palpi, at least three times eye diameter, and by the larger termen of the forewing, 0.33 to 0.45 as long as the forewing length. Usually, coloured dots are found along termen in Crambinae, but in Ancylogastra, gen. n., these are long drop-like or stripy spots crossing the subterminal area. The male genitalia are characterized by the full development of the costal process, conspicuous vinculum, broad and sometimes extremely long phallus, half to twice as long as valva. The female genitalia are distinguished from the closely related genera by the presence of a more or less developed lateral extension of the ductus bursae. The species of the melanothoracia - prepiella complex (Bassi &amp; Trematerra 2014) in the inornata species group of Ancylolomia (Błeszyński 1970; Bassi 2013, 2019) also have a lateral extension, but it takes its origin basally from the corpus bursae.</p> <p>Etymology. The generic name is a S. Błeszyński’s manuscript name. The prefix Ancylo- recalls to Ancylolomia, referring to the similarities between the two genera, while - gastra means “bulging container”, possibly referring to the extra pouch found in female genitalia. The gender of the new genus is feminine.</p> <p>Description. Medium to large sized species, with labial palpi at least three times as long as eye diameter, broad forewing with termen from a third to a half of the length of the wing at the apex wide and well developed subterminal area. Sclerotisations of abdominal segment VIII, especially of tergite, are characteristic of each species.</p> <p>Male genitalia. Uncus and gnathos fully developed. Tegumen with slender arms, tegumen roof one fourth to a half of tegumen arm length. Vinculum stout, square to strongly produced dorsally. Juxta broad, v-shaped. Pseudosaccus always present. Valva elongated to strongly elongated, tapering towards apex, ventrobasally often bulged near pseudosaccus; costal process always strongly developed, half as long to as long as valva. Phallus stout to slender, weakly slerotised, half to twice as long as valva.</p> <p>Female genitalia. Papillae anales well developed, often rounded. Apophyses well developed, roughly as long as papillae anales. Sterigma well developed, often anteriorly produced. Ostium membranous. Ductus bursae elongated, with more or less extended sclerotisation and always bearing a more or less developed lateral extension. Ductus seminalis originating between ductus bursae and corpus bursae. Corpus bursae oval, without genuine signum, but often with rows of dense spines.</p> <p>Distribution and biology. Widespread in Central and Western Africa, with centre of distribution presumably in Western Africa, where four species, all endemic, are present. The biology is unknown.</p> <p>Systematic position. This genus is part of tribe Ancylolomiini Ragonot (Léger et al. 2019: 769). The stout adult and the well-developed subterminal area of the forewing positions it close to Ancylolomia and Charltona. The wing venation matches perfectly with Błeszyński’s (1965: 401) figure of Ancylolomia. The narrow tegumen, slender valva with strongly developed costal arm and well developed vinculum in male genitalia suggest that Ancylogastra gen. n. is closely related to the inornata species group of Ancylolomia. In the female genitalia the characteristic lateral extension of the ductus bursae places the genus close to the melanothoracia-prepiella complex of the inornata species group of Ancylolomia.</p> <p>Only very few barcoded specimens of Ancylogastra gen. n. and allied genera exist for a comprehensive DNA comparison. A single male specimen of Ancylogastra amphiaula as well as three specimens of A. boireaui sp. n. were successfully barcoded. The Maximum Likelihood analysis recovered Ancylogastra gen. n. as monophyletic (bootstrap= 96) with respect to other African genera of Ancylolomiini sampled here (Ancylolomia, Aurotalis Błeszyński and Charltona) (Table A, Fig. A). However, analysis of the COI barcode alone is not sufficient and will requires a larger dataset in order to be conclusive on the relationships with other genera of Ancylolomiini.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EF87C15050FFE9FF22FCC6E642FEAC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Ancylogastra amphiaula (Fig. 1) is similar to A. magnifica Bassi sp. n. (Fig. 2) and A. endroedyi Bassi sp. n.

The male genitalia (Fig. 9) are characterized by the extremely long phallus and vinculum produced and strongly bifid apically. In the female genitalia, A. amphiaula (Fig. 25) is similar to A. magnifica Bassi sp. n. (Fig. 27) and A. endroedyi Bassi sp. n. (Fig. 28), both described below, but differs in having a stout bifid sterigma, a larger ductus bursae and larger and more strongly sclerotised lateral extension of the ductus bursae.

(Fig. 2) externally resembles A. amphiaula (Fig. 1), especially in faint specimens, but the forewing is slightly broader, with apex less rounded and termen almost straight, and the black median stripe is larger and reaches the termen. In the male genitalia, a shorter uncus and gnathos, the v-shaped juxta, a shorter vinculum, and a shorter phallus distinguish A. magnifica sp. n. (Figs 11, 12) from A. amphiaula (Fig. 9). The female genitalia of A. magnifica sp. n. (Fig. 27) have an almost rounded sterigma, a narrow and longer ductus bursae with a lateral arm narrow with a large and sclerotised distal sac, as opposed to the bifid sterigma and the small distal sac of A. amphiaula (Fig. 25).</p> <p>Etymology. The new species derives its name from the Latin magnificus-a = marvellous, referring to the very nice habitus of the adult.</p> <p>Description (Fig. 2). Wingspan: males 27–28 mm, females 27–31 mm. Labial palpi four times as long as eye diameter, dark brown with upper and inner side white. Maxillary palpi subtriangular, dark brown tipped white.

Thorax white, suffused with pale yellow. Forewing subtriangular, with rounded apex and termen large and straight; ground colour white with scattered black and brown scales; medial stripe blackish brown, enlarging distally and reaching termen, subdorsal stripe narrow, blackish brown, reaching termen; subterminal area poorly defined by a white and brown inner fascia; seven black subterminal dots; fringes silvery white with short scales tipped bronze brown; underside brown suffused with white. Hindwing white with brown suffusion and brown terminal line below apex; fringes white; underside white suffused with brown along costa. Foreleg bronze brown; mid and hindleg bronze brown with inner side white. Abdomen grey with first segments bordered with brown; sternites grey brown; anal tuft ivory yellow. Sclerotisations of male abdominal segment VIII as in Fig. 13.</p> <p>Male genitalia (Figs. 11, 12). Uncus slightly longer than gnathos, almost straight and with rounded apex. Gnathos with slightly upcurved tip. Tegumen very long and narrow. Vinculum stout, caudally bifid. Pseudosaccus subconical, small. Juxta large, v-shaped, folded apically. Valva elongated, five times longer than average width, with ventrobasal bulge and rounded cucullus; costal arm longer than valva, narrow, strongly sclerotised, distally upcurved and with acuminate apex. Phallus short, two-thirds of valva length, broad, distally upcurved; vesica with one small subtriangular cornutus and scattered scobinations.</p> <p>Female genitalia (Fig. 27). Papillae anales elongated, with rounded extremities. Apophyses posteriores basally drop-like, then very narrow and slightly curved apically.

Ancylogastra boireaui sp. n. (Fig. 3) is characterized by the black brown forewing, suffused with yellow. Externally the species resembles A. gangraensis sp. n. (Fig. 4) described below, but A. boireaui sp. n. is more intense in ground colour and clearly larger wingspan (25–31 mm vs. 15–23 mm). In male genitalia (Fig. 14) the slender costal arm medially bent inward and the large cornutus distinguish A. boireaui sp. n. from its congeners. The female genitalia (Fig. 34) of A. boireaui sp. n. are characterized by the strongly produced and pointed sterigma and the stout extension of the ductus bursae, unlike those of all congeners.

Externally the species resembles A. boireaui sp. n. (Fig. 3), which is more intense in ground colour and clearly larger wingspan (25–31 mm vs. 15–23 mm). In male genitalia the slender and inwardly bent apex of the costal arm and the tridentate cornutus distinguish A. gangraensis sp. n. (Fig. 21) from its congeners. The female genitalia of A. gangraensis sp. n. (Fig. 35) are characterized by the large globular extension of the ductus bursae, which is unlike that of all congeners.</p> <p>Etymology. The new species derives its name from the type locality, on Mount Gangra.</p> <p>Description (Fig. 4). Wingspan: males 15–23 mm, females 16–21 mm. Labial palpi four times as long as wider diameter of eye, brown with upper and inner sides white. Maxillary palpi subtriangular, brown tipped white with inner side white. Antenna bipectinate in male, scape thickened, off-white, rami as long as flagellomere, brown with silvery brown costa; in female coloured as in male, but slightly serrate. Frons rounded, slightly produced, pale brown sprinkled with white. Ocelli poorly developed. Chaetosemata well developed. Vertex white with thin distal line brown. Patagia and thorax pale brown. Tegulae pale brown with inner side brown. Forewing ground colour brown with subapical area, interveins and subdorsal stripe white; subdorsal stripe dorsally bordered dark brown and ending before termen; postmedial fascia white with brown borders, large and widely concave subapically; subterminal area white with seven elongated subterminal spots; apex rounded; termen oblique; fringes bright white with both short and long scales tipped silvery grey; underside brown with terminal spots visible. Hindwing off-white; fringes white; underside off-white distinctly suffused brown dorsally. Legs brown with inner side white and well-developed tibial spurs. Abdomen ivory yellow with anal tuft more intense. Sclerotisations of male abdominal segment VIII as in Figs 22, 23.</p> <p>Male genitalia (Figs 21, 24). Uncus slightly shorter than gnathos, moderately curved. Gnathos slender, with rounded, slightly upcurved tip. Tegumen subtriangular. Vinculum subrectangular, with thick border and small bifid dorsal projection. Juxta broad, v-shaped. Pseudosaccus suboval. Valva elongated, narrowing towards cucullus; costa strongly sclerotised in first half, with long and slender costal arm apically bent inwards; sacculus simple. Phallus shorter than valva, almost straight, with apex slightly produced dorsally; vesica with single tridentate cornutus.</p> <p>Female genitalia (Figs 35, 37). Papillae anales drop-shaped. Apophyses posteriores longer than apophyses anteriores basally lightly sclerotised, then strongly sclerotised, wavy and with an inner tooth submedially. Abdominal segment VIII narrow and larger ventrally. Sterigma ventrally subtriangular, produced; dorsally with U-shaped reinforcement. Ostium bursae membranous. Ductus bursae wrinkled, longer than corpus bursae, with large globular extension sponge-like and wrinkled. Corpus bursae suboval, slightly wrinkled.</p> <p>Distribution. Known from Liberia and Guinea, at elevations between 648 and 1382 meters a.s.l.</p> <p>Remarks. The adults were attracted to an artificial light in a mixed vegetation habitat. The settling of a giant iron mine wiped out the whole summit of Mount Gangra and thus destroyed the type locality. Its discovery on Mount Nimba (Richard Molard) in Guinea (Fig. B) suggests that fortunately the species is widespread along the whole Nimba Mountains chain.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EF87C15058FFE6FF22FC51E282FCDC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
