Trematerra2 1Institute of Systematics and Experimental Zoology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Kraków, Poland; 2Department of Agriculture, Environment and Food Science, University of Molise, Campobasso, Italy Abstract Twenty species of Tortricidae from Ethiopia, Oromia Region, are recorded of which Olethreutes didessae sp. n., Ancylis colaccii sp. n., and Gypsonoma giorgiae sp. n. are described as new; Eucosma thalameuta Meyrick, 1918, is transferred to the genus Cosmetra Diakonoff, 1977. Introduction The Tortricidae of Ethiopia are insufficiently known despite 80 years ago Meyrick (1932) published first faunistic paper on the Microlepidoptera of Ethiopia which included the data on several leaf- rollers. Then Razowski & Trematerra (2010) recorded 36 species from this country of which 25 were newly described. They also characterised five collecting sites. Based on so limited number of species there is no possibility to characterise the Ethiopian fauna. Razowski & Trematerra (2010) men- tioned only some species common to Ethiopia and the Republic of South Africa, Mozambique and Uganda. Razowski & Wojtusiak (2012) found in Nigeria three species known from Ethiopia what is interest- ing zoogeographically. In the present collection there are further four species described or recorded from Nigeria (Lobesia hecista Razowski, L. talyana Razowski, L. lecta Razowski, and Endothenia gutturalis Meyrick, 1934) and found in Ethiopia. There are also some closely related species common to the two countries. Material and methods This paper is based on the material collected during two Italian expeditions in Oromia Region, southwestern Ethiopia, by the entomol- ogists of the University of Molise and of the University of Milano. The expeditions were realized in November 2010 and January 2012. During 2010 the itinerary of the expedition was Wellega zone (Didessa River, 1280 m, 11-16.11.2010), and Ilubador zone (Dabeda River, 1800 m, 14.11.2010). In 2012 the expedition visited Wellega zone (Didessa River, 1280 m, 24-28.01.2012), and Ilubador zone (Dabeda River, 1827 m, 26.01.2012; Bedelle, Mute Forest, 2060 m, 27.01.2012). Tortricid adults were collected during the day by net and at night from a white sheet placed behind a 160 Watt mixed light. Genitalia were pre- pared using standard methods, the abdomen was macerated in 10% KOH and dissected under a stereoscopic microscope, the genitalia were separated and mounted in euparal on a glass slide. Adults and slides are deposited in P. Trematerra collection, Campobasso (Italy).

Sterigma short, rounded; antrum sclerite broad, concave posteriorly; ductus bursae with subterminal cingulum; signum typical of the genus. REMARKS. E. albapex was known to date only from Ethiopia (Bale Mountains). It was described in the genus Crotalaria Razowski & Brown, [In Press]. The previous description (p. 56, figs 16, 59) is thus invalid; the above-mentioned characteristics are used in this new description in a valid genus.

In the male genitalia, L. lecta and L. hecista are similar to L. leucospilana (Mabille, 1900) from Madagascar but differ from it chiefly by a lack of a small lobe between end of the sacculus and ventral lobe of the cucullus.

O. didessae is closely related and similar to O. molyb- dachtha (Meyrick, 1930) from the Ivory Coast but didessae has broad uncus, large lateral socii, long slender terminal process of the sacculus and broad terminally lobe from the posterior edge of the basal cavity of the valva. ETYMOLOGY. The specific epithet refers to the river of Didessa. DESCRIPTION. Wing span 18 mm. Head and thorax grey-black with black marks. Forewng fairly broad; costa uniformly convex; termen weakly obique and convex. Ground colour greyish with some whitish parts and bluish areas; suffusions blackish; costal strigulae small, white; divisions brown-black. Markings brownish black with black marks, diffuse, incomplete, consisting of basal blotch, medi- an fascia, and subterminal fascia. Cilia grey-black. Hindwing brown with broadly rounded anal area; cilia whitish cream. Male genitalia (Figure 15). Uncus weakly sclerotized, helmet- shaped, long hairy; socius large, lateral, densely bristled; gnathos and tuba analis rather weakly sclerotized; sacculus with large, sharp termination, short caudal edge marked by broad, spiny lobe from base of which a slender process extends; neck of valva very slender; cuculus elongate; aedeagus short.

In facies, A. colaccii is most similar to A. halisparta Meyrick, 1910, from Transvaal, South Africa but colaccii has whitish vertex of the head (in halisparta it is rust); from A. oculif- era (Walsingham, 1891) from Bathurst, Gambia, colaccii differs by its strongly sinuate termen of forewing and anal edge of the hind- wing, and a lack of brown oval spot at base of the apex (both com- pared species are known only from females). The male genitalia of this species differ from all known congeners by a ventral convexity of the base of the cucullus. ETYMOLOGY. The species is named after his collector dr Marco Colacci (University of Molise, Campobasso, Italy). DESCRIPTION. Wing span 14 mm. Head whitish cream, labial pal- pus whitish cream sprinkled brown; thorax cream, tegulae brown- ish. Forewing slender; costa weakly convex; apex elongate-pointed; termen sinuate. Ground colour cream sprinkled and suffused brown and brown ferruginous; costal strigulae whitish, divisions rust brown and brownish. Remnants of markings brownish rust. Cilia cream. Hindwing brownish; cilia (rubbed) cream. Male genitalia (Figure 18). Uncus reduced; socius broad, densely hairy; basal part of valva broad; neck slender expanding posterad; sacculus convexly rounded; cucullus convex ventrobasally, with slight submedian convexity; aedeagus long, slender, indistinctly tapering terminad, cornuti long and slender.
