Strigocossus otti Yakovlev, Sulak & Witt, sp. nov. (Figs. 13–16) Material. Holotype ♂, Angola, Prov. Cuanza Sul, 26 km E Cassongue, 11°52.257´S 15°09.320´E, 1650 m, 28.III.2014, leg. Sulak, Naumann & Ott (MWM, GenPr 26756). Paratypes: 1 ♂, same data and locality as holotype (MWM); 2 ♂, Angola, Huila Prov., Caconda-Huambo, vic. N. Monaco, S13°261´E015°227´, 10.XI.2012, 1610 m, leg. Weninger (MSW). Description. Male: Wingspan 79–84 mm (holotype 79 mm). Antenna bipectinate along proximal half (rami three times as long as antenna rod diameter), unipectinate along distal half (crest processes almost equal to antenna rod diameter). Frons covered with pale grey scales, dense speckling of dark brown flakes on crown. Thorax with dark brown trapezoidal spot dorsally, tegula and patagium pale grey. Abdomen covered with pale grey scales. Forewing long, pale grey, with pattern of small dark spots along costal edge, thin transverse undulate lines throughout wing, discal area pale, bright dark spot discally between veins Cu1 and Cu2, dark crescent-shaped spot submarginally. Hindwing short, dark brown, with poorly expressed reticulated pattern submarginally and marginally. Genitalia: Uncus long, strongly sclerotized, apically uncinate; gnathos reduced, with basally wide, apically narrower arms; valva evenly edged, leaf-like in shape, wide; juxta with long wide lateral processes; saccus robust, semicircular; phallus large (equal in length to valva), thick, with well-developed longitudinal folds, robust fusiform cornutus in lateral surface, long sclerotized strip with longitudinal folds on lateral surface of vesica. Female: unknown. Diagnosis. The new species can be distinguished from the most similar species of Strigocossus: S. capensis, S. crassa, S. elephas, and S. moderata by the specific grey coloring of the wings and by the expressed longitudinal folds on the sclerotized strip on the lateral surface of the vesica. Etymology. The new species is named after one of the collectors of the type series, Mr. Elk Ott (Munich).

Givarbela drechseli Penco, Yakovlev, Naydenov & Witt, sp. nov. (Figs 4, 7, 11) Material. Holotype: ♂, Paraguay, Dep. Amambay, Laguna Ciervo, S 22°20′ W 56°11′; 24–27.vi.2016, leg. U. Drechsel (MWM). Description. Male. Head: forehead and vertex brownish, lighter on forehead; color of antenna rod and palpi scaling from chocolate to dark brown; tip of labial palpus paler, antenna bipectinate, rami three times as long as diameter of rod of antenna. Thorax: covered with long hairs; pronotum of hazel color; dorsally brown, mixed with some gray hairs; fore femur and tibia dark brown; tarsal segments brownish. Abdomen: concolorous with thorax; anal tuft short and paler than rest of abdomen, spreading but not spatulate. Fore wing: length 11 mm, basally brown, costa with pale stroke, thin white oblique transverse band in discal area, large round brown field in postdiscal area near medial and cubital veins, field of fine undulated brown and white elements from postdiscal area to outer edge of wing, fringe brown, unicolorous. Hind wing pale, basally with blurred brown field, undulated with brown and white on outer area, fringe brown, unicolorous. Male genitalia. Uncus short, wide, trapezoidal, apically semicircular; tegumen trapezoidal; gnathos arms thin, gradually narrowing from base to apices, not fused; gnathos reduced; valva with strongly curved edged (apical third significantly wider), on inner surface of valva small straight harpe with small denticles, harpe positioned obliquely to abdominal edge, apex of valva semicircular; transtilla uncinate, dorsally with robust prong, abdominally with poorly expressed prong; juxta triangle, with short lateral processes diverged at angle of 45°; saccus robust, apically mastoid; phallus thin, 1,5 times shorter than valva, straight, slightly narrowing apically, vesica aperture in dorso-apical position, vesica without cornuti. Female unknown. Distribution. Known only from Paraguay (Department Amambay) (Fig. 8). Diagnosis. The new species is similar to G. steinbachi, from which it differs by a number of characters: the oblique white band on the fore wing in G. drechseli is narrow, in G. steinbachi wide; the harpe (marked on the Figs 5 and 7) in G. drechseli is poorly developed; in G. steinbachi it is distinctively developed, with its acute process larger; the phallus in G. drechseli is straight, in G. steinbachi curved as s-shaped. Etymology. The species is named after the collector of this specimen, U. Drechsel (Asunción).
