| Abstract: | "Four new species in the genus Hypotrabala Holland, 1893 are described: 1) Hypotrabala leopoldi sp. n. from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC); 2) Hypotrabala benjamini sp. n. from DRC; 3) Hypotrabala carlottae sp. n. from Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana; and 4) Hypotrabala bettinae sp. n. from Nigeria. They are somewhat reminiscent of the dark colored Hypotrabala obscura Takano & László, 2024 known from the type series of four males originating from Gabon. The female of H. obscura and its genitalia are described for the first time; the species is recorded for the first time for Cameroon. Adults of both sexes, their genitalia, and map with collecting localities are illustrated. |
