Abstract:

The genus Eucraera Tams, 1930 is reviewed, two new species are described: E. nemesida nov.sp. from Cameroon and E. witti nov.sp. from Kenya. The following new synonymy is established: Eucraera magna (Aurivillius, 1909) = Ceratopacha minor Gaede, 1915 nov.syn.; Eucraera gemmata (Distant, 1897) = Eucraera gemmata asaphes Tams, 1936 nov.syn. = Eucraera aphrasta Tams, 1936 nov.syn. The lectotype for Lasiocampa salammbo Vuillot, 1892 from MNHN is designated. External variability of species E. gemmata (Distant, 1897) and E. magna (Aurivillius, 1909) is discussed here for the first time. Sequences of COI gene are examined for E. gemmate [sic] (Distant, 1897), E. salammbo (Vuillot, 1892) and E. witti nov.sp.
