Description. Male ( Figs 4–7 View FIGURES 1–20 ). Flagellum covered with creamy or brown scales, rami brown. Head and prothorax creamy or brown, mesothorax brown with creamy or purplish brown tegula. Abdomen pale creamy or brown. Forewing. Forewing length: 23–25 mm; wingspan: 44–47 mm. Somewhat oval, elongated. Ground color creamy or reddish brown. Pattern consist of more or less pronounced triple wavy blurred dark antemedial and postmedial lines of purplish, green and brown colors, c-shaped creamy discal mark with dark brown contour and dark brown and creamy wavy external line. Fringe dark brown. Hindwing. Oval. Ground color brown, blurred dark medial and external lines or anal field may be pronounced. Fringe creamy or brown. Genitalia ( Figs 25–26 View FIGURES 23–34 ). Tegumen a narrow band; dorsolaterally bears a pair of socii. Socii elongated, triangle, ventrally more sclerotized, covered with setae. Vinculum a narrow band with laterodistal somewhat oval outgrowths. Cucullus elongated, finger like, c-shaped with rather pointed apex, basally covered with setae, dorsal margin indented. Sacculus very compact, somewhat oval, covered with setae. Juxta stem-like, fused with aedeagus. Aedeagus claw shaped without basal apodemes. Vesica very short but broad, covered with minute cornuti. The eighth sternite somewhat trapezoid with elongated apodemes, distal margin concave, more sclerotized, indented. The eight tergite somewhat trapezoid with barely pronounced apodemes. Female ( Figs 35–37 View FIGURES 35–44 ). Overall similar to male, but larger in size and no pale specimen is known. Forewing length: 28–38 mm; wingspan: 54–70 mm. Genitalia ( Figs 45–46 View FIGURES 45–52 ). Papillae anales oval, densely covered with setae. Posterior apophyses slightly longer than the anterior ones. Sterigma a highly sclerotized complex structure with a slit-like opening. Ostium amorphous. Ductus bursae short, ventrally sclerotized, the sclerotization extend to corpus bursae. Corpus bursae oval, bears aggregation of small signa.
Variability. Specimen may be creamy ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 1–20 ) or reddish brown ( Figs 5–7 View FIGURES 1–20 ). Distal indents of the eighth sternite may be blunt ( Fig. 25 View FIGURES 23–34 ) or pointed ( Fig. 26 View FIGURES 23–34 ). Parts of sterigma and signa vary in shape ( Figs 45–46 View FIGURES 45–52 ).
Diagnosis. Adults of D. reggie sp. n. have less contrasting forewing pattern ( Figs 4–7 View FIGURES 1–20 , 35–37 View FIGURES 35–44 ), females have different shape of sterigma and smaller signa ( Figs 45–46 View FIGURES 45–52 ), known only from Somalia ( Fig. 54 View FIGURES 53–56 ); whereas adults of D. flavia have more contrasting forewing pattern ( Figs 8–11 View FIGURES 1–20 , 31–32 View FIGURES 23–34 ), female have larger signa ( Figs 49–50 View FIGURES 45–52 ), known from only from southern Kenya ( Fig. 54 View FIGURES 53–56 ).
Adults of D. reggie sp. n. may be overall smaller, have less contrasting forewing pattern ( Figs 4–7 View FIGURES 1–20 , 35–37 View FIGURES 35–44 ), females have different shape of sterigma ( Figs 45–46 View FIGURES 45–52 ), known only from Somalia ( Fig. 54 View FIGURES 53–56 ); whereas adult males of D. reussi or D. marwitzi are overall larger, have more contrasting forewing pattern ( Figs 12–15 View FIGURES 1–20 , 41–42 View FIGURES 35–44 ), females have different shape of sterigma ( Figs 47–48 View FIGURES 45–52 ), known from Kenya and Tanzania ( Fig. 54 View FIGURES 53–56 ).
Adults of D. reggie sp. n. may be overall smaller and have less contrasting forewing pattern ( Figs 4–7 View FIGURES 1–20 , 35–37 View FIGURES 35–44 ), females have different shape of sterigma ( Figs 45–46 View FIGURES 45–52 ), known only from Somalia ( Fig. 54 View FIGURES 53–56 ); whereas adult males of D. cuprea may be overall larger and have more contrasting forewing pattern ( Figs 16–20 View FIGURES 1–20 , 43–44 View FIGURES 35–44 ), shape of sterigma may vary in female genitalia ( Figs 51–52 View FIGURES 45–52 ), known from RSA, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, and DRC ( Fig. 55 View FIGURES 53–56 ).
Adult males of D. reggie sp. n. are smaller and paler with less contrasting medial lines ( Figs 4–7 View FIGURES 1–20 ), have elongated socii, c-shaped valvae, narrower extensions of vinculum, elongated apodemes of the eight sternite ( Figs 25–26 View FIGURES 23–34 ), known from Somalia only ( Fig. 54 View FIGURES 53–56 ); whereas adult males of D. lola sp. n. are larger and overall darker with more contrasting medial lines ( Figs 1–3 View FIGURES 1–20 ), have shorter socii, slightly c-shaped cucullus, broader extensions of vinculum, short apodemes of the eighth sternite ( Figs 21 View FIGURE 21 , 23–24 View FIGURES 23–34 ), distributed in West Africa ( Fig. 53 View FIGURES 53–56 ).
Distribution ( Fig. 54 View FIGURES 53–56 ). Somali Acacia-Commiphora bushlands and thickets in southwestern Somalia.
Biology. Adults were collected in January, February, April, and May from an altitude of 165 meters a.s.l. Preimaginal stages are unknown.
Etymology. The species is named in honor of Reggie James Wolff (Los Angeles, USA).
