( Figs. 14 View FIGURE 14 A–F)

Thubdora bilobella Park, 2018: 1089 View in CoL . TL: Cameroon, Efulen. [CMP].

Material examined. 5♂, Uganda, Kibale Nat. Park, Biol. Field Station , 19–24 xi 2014, LF, leg. W. Mey; gen. slide no. CIS-7024 &. CIS-7071, COI barcode CBNU039; gen. slide no. CIS-7030; wing slide no. CIS-7052 ; 1♂, same as the preceding specimens, COI barcode CBNU032; 2♂, Uganda, Kabarole District, Kibale National Park , 36N TF 0582 6508 1500 m, 19–24 x 2014, leg. Leif Aarvik & Knud Larsen; gen. slide no. CIS-7158/ Park ; 1♀, Uganda, Mpanga Forest , 0˚12ʹ24ʹʹN 32˚18ʹ05ʹʹE, 1–5 v 2019, leg. KT Park, JM Koo, JD Kim; gen. slide no. CIS-7349, COI barcode CBNU117, deposited in NIBR .

Diagnosis. Thubdora bilobella can be distinguished from its allies by the shape of the uncus, valva, and aedeagus. It seems that the uncus and the juxta of T. bilobella are slightly variable among specimens, as illustrated in the Figs. C, E, and F (C and E from Uganda, and F from Cameroon). Forewing length 6.5–8.0 mm. The male genitalia are illustrated in Figs. 14 View FIGURE 14 B–F; also see Park (2018: figs. 15, 15a).

Remarks. The species was previously described from Cameroon and is herein reported for the first time from Uganda. Illustrations for the adult and male genitalia of the specimen collected from Uganda are given for a comparison with those of the type specimen.

Distribution. Uganda (Kabarole Dist.: new record), Cameroon ( Park 2018).
