Abstract:

"Hypotrabala neavei (Aurivillius, 1915) is recorded for the first time for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), whereas H. lunda Takano & László, 2024 is recorded for the first time for Zimbabwe and DRC. The adult female, its genitalia and legs, as well as the male’s head and legs, are described for the first time for H. lunda. Additionally, three new species morphologically close to H. neavei and H. lunda are described: H. liviae sp. n. from Malawi and Zimbabwe, H. pearlae from Malawi, and H. maryannae from Zimbabwe. Adults, their genitalia, and the map with the collection localities are illustrated."
