Forewing rather acute apically, grey, with a pattern of slender black transverse bands. Forewing bearing slender grey border on the margin; fringe grey, unicolored. Hindwing pale grey, patternless, with a grey border along the margin and a grey unicolored fringe. Male genitalia. Uncus medium-sized, wide basally, parallel-sided before middle of its length, its middle third strongly narrowing towards apex, apex pointed and sclerotized. Tegumen medium-sized. Arms of gnathos medium-sized, rather thick, supporting a well-structured and sclerotized gnathos, consisting of two halves. Valvae moderately broad, gradually narrowing apically, apical one-third membranous; costal margin of valve with a poorly defined crest with wrinkled inner margin (three folds present on internal surface of the costal crest); costal crest bearing a well-defined distal denticle. Paired processes of transtilla directed ventrally, thick basally, long, hookshaped and acute apically; apices divergent. Juxta small; lateral processes paired, broad and leaf-like, divergent. Saccus small, forming a semicircle. Aedeagus stout, short (1 / 4 as long as valva), truncate apically; vesica opening nearly 1 / 3 as long as aedeagus; vesica without cornuti. Female unknown. Diagnosis. The genus Brachylia Felder consists of 16 species, occurring widely from Senegal in the north to the southern parts of Southern Africa (Yakovlev 2011). The new species strongly differs from all congeners in the specific coloration (grey forewing with a black pattern) and the broad and leaf-like lateral processes of the juxta. Etymology. The toponymic name ��� Vukutu ��� refers to the type locality of the new species., Published as part of Yakovlev, Roman V. & Lenz, J��rgen, 2013, On the Fauna of Cossidae (Lepidoptera) of Zimbabwe with description of a new species, pp. 387-397 in Zootaxa 3718 (4) on page 392, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3718.4.8, http://zenodo.org/record/215616
