Diagnosis. Male ( Fig. 10A ). The species has a somewhat similar wing pattern as the preceding species, L. chloroscia , but the male genitalia are distinctly separable. Redescription . Wingspan 15 mm . Abdominal segment between VII and VIII with modified sclerites ( Fig. 14F ). Male genitalia ( Figs. 14D, E ). Basal lobes of uncus slender, concave in V-shape on caudal margin. Gnathos more or less short, bent subapically. Costal bar banded, slightly angled medially. Valva broad basally; cucullus narrowed toward apex, with more or less acute apex, densely haired on surface; sacculus banded. Juxta shield- shaped, deeply concave on caudal margin. Aedeagus strongly bent at basal 1/3; cornuti consisting of a long barshaped lobe, rounded chain with conic spines medially, and a curved row with short spines near apex. Remarks. The species was described based on two males from North Kivu , DR Congo , and it is confirmed to be a Lecithocera species. In the original description, the date was erroneously written as “ 27.xii.19336.i.1934 ”. Distribution. DR Congo ( Nord-Kivu ).
