\"The Afrotropical lappet moth genus Hypotrabala Holland, 1893 is reviewed utilising specimens housed in the African Natural History Research Trust collections. The synthesis of morphological and DNA analyses has reconciled discrepancies in previous treatments of the genus and Hypotrabala is clearly delimited with implications on the nomenclature and taxonomy. The genus Epitrabala Hering, 1932 syn. n. is synonymised with Hypotrabala resulting in the following changes: Hypotrabala argenteoguttata (Aurivillius, 1909) comb. rev. is revived, H. horridula Tams, 1925 stat. rev. is removed from synonymy with Epitrabala nyassana (Aurivillius, 1909) and two taxa, H. horridula seydeli Tams, 1925 syn. n. and Epitrabala argyrostigma Hering, 1932 syn. n. are synonymised with it. Epitrabala nyassana is transferred to the genus Leptometa (comb. n.) as is Leptometa sanguicincta comb. n. (previously assigned to Hypotrabala), while Hypotrabala odonestioides Berio, 1937 is excluded from Hypotrabala although its generic placement remains uncertain. Based on the structures of the male eighth sternite, Hypotrabala fontainei stat. n. is raised to species status and a new genus Megatrabala gen. n. is described for the striking taxon M. regalis (Tams, 1953) comb. n. Furthermore, 19 new species are described: H. aurantiaca, H. cinereamargo, H. exquisita, H. extenuata, H. giustii, H. indefinita, H. igneata, H. lunda, H. lydiae, H. magnimacula, H. obscura, H. ophioglossa, H. pallens, H. pruinosa, H. retorta, H. smithi, H. tabithae, H. tamsi and H. volynkini spp. n.

\"The article updates the status of the three valid taxa of the genus Streblote H\übner, 1820 from the Malay Archipelago. The species Streblote castanea (Swinhoe, 1892) was described from an unstated location in the Philippines. Presently this species is recorded from 8 major Philippine islands: Cebu, Luzon, Mindanao, Mindoro, Negros, Palawan, Panay, and Samar. The three populations from Luzon, Mindoro, and Negros have pairwise distances ranging from 2.45 to 3.92\%. Genetic distance together with geographic isolation is enough to treat the populations as separate species, but the description of new Philippine taxa is not possible until the island of the origin of S. castanea is designated. To locate the species origin and to understand relationships to other populations, the type specimen has to be barcoded. The species Streblote dorsalis (Walker, 1866) from Borneo is similar morphologically to S. castanea. It has to be sequenced as well to understand its relationship with the Philippine species and with geographically and morphologically close populations from the islands Belitung and Sulawesi. The taxon Streblote pallida (Rothschild, 1915) from Java and Bali was earlier attributed as a subspecies to S. castanea and then to S. dorsalis. It is raised here to a bona species because of its wing pattern distinct from the two species, it has an average pairwise distance of 5.15\% from S. castanea. Two populations from the neighboring Sumatra, Flores and Sumba are described as new species Streblote gerry sp. n. and Streblote jacquie sp. n. Streblote pallida and S. jacquie sp. n. have a pairwise distance of up to 2.45\%.\"

\"In this study, we examine a recent sample containing two hawk moth species (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) from Praslin and Mah\é, Seychelles. It was widely accepted that the hawk moth species Temnora peckoveri (Butler, 1876) has a disjunctive range covering Madagascar and the Inner Seychelles. However, the Seychelles population of what was thought to be Temnora peckoveri shares a set of diagnostic morphological differences from both this species and T. fumosa (Walker, 1856) in the male genitalia structure. In particular, it remotely resembles Temnora fumosa based on the structure of aedeagus but differs from T. fumosa and T. peckoveri with respect to the harpe shape. Based on this evidence, we describe Temnora fumosa seychellensis Bolotov \& Spitsyn ssp. nov. as a subspecies with restricted range, being endemic to the Inner Seychelles. The range of this subspecies covers Praslin (first record), Mah\é, Silhouette, La Digue, Cousine, and Denis. Additionally, we report on recent occurrences of Agrius convolvuli (Linnaeus, 1758) from Praslin (second record) and Mah\é. The adult moths were recorded feeding on inflorescences of Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia Baker (Asparagaceae) for the first time.
