CIS-7284, COI barcode CBNU121, in NHMUK ; 2♂, 2♀, Uganda, Kibale National Park, Biol. Field Station , 19–24 xi 2014, LF leg. W. Mey; gen. slide no. CIS-7004 (♂), COI barcode CBNU006; gen. slide no. CIS-7010 (♀), COI barcode CBNU031; gen. slide no. CIS-7035 (♀), in MfN .
Diagnosis. Thubdora ealaensis is characterized by the male genitalia with a narrowly elongated and strongly upturned cucullus. The triangular costal patch of the forewing beyond 3/4 of the costa is often not presented. Forewing length 6.5–7.5 mm.
Male genitalia are illustrated in Figs. 4C, D View FIGURE 4 ; also see Park & De Prins (2019: figs. 3C, D).
Female genitalia ( Fig. 4F View FIGURE 4 ): Abdominal sternite VIII deeply emarginated medially. Ostium bursae nearly flat. Antrum elongated, weakly sclerotized, about 1/3 the length of ductus bursae. Ductus bursae broadened, with numerous short spines, slightly shorter than corpus bursae; ductus seminalis broad, as broad as antrum, arising from near middle of ductus bursae. Corpus bursae large, ovate; signum lips-like, with transverse groove medially; posterior margin strongly convex in a bell-shape, anterior margin more or less flattened, lower lip-like.
Remarks. The species was described from DR Congo and is herein reported for the first time from Uganda. The female is newly described and illustrated. Illustrations of the adult and male genitalia were given by Park & De Prins (2018), but the adult and male genitalia of the specimen from Uganda are illustrated here for a comparison with those of the type specimen.
Distribution. Uganda (Masindi Distr., Kabarole Distr.: new record), DR Congo (Eala) ( Park & De Prins 2019).
