... Southern Africa is the best known area of the region, and the catalogue of Vári et al. (2002) listed 129 species for the Afrotropical Region south of the Zambezi and Kunene rivers. Thirty-six additional species have been described later (Bassi, 2002(Bassi, , 2004(Bassi, , 2012(Bassi, , 2013a(Bassi, , 2013b(Bassi, , 2016Bassi & trematerra, 2014;Bassi & Mey in Mey, 2011). Based on the results of four years of extensive sampling by W. Mey on the Asante Sana Game Farm in the Eastern Karoo, more than 160 Crambinae specimens were collected and made available to the author for study. ...
The Crambinae (Pyraloidea, Crambidae) specimens collected in the Asante Sana area are studied and their data are compared with those of specimens of several collections examined. A list of species with their known distribution is given. Caffrocrambus jordanusbuni spec. nov., Caffocrambus hillmani spec. nov., and Calamotropha uncinata spec. nov. are described and illustrated. Pseudoctenella inornata staudinger comb. rev. is revised and reassigned to Ancylolomia HüBner. The new synonymies Ancylolomia inornata staudinger, 1870 = Ancylolomia holochrea Hampson, 1919 syn. n. = Ancylolomia irrorata Hampson, 1919, syn. n. = Ancylolomia shefferialis rougeot, 1984 syn. n., and Glaucocharis natalensis (Hampson, 1919) = Pareromene subnatalensis Błeszyński, 1970, syn. nov. are established. A lectotype is designated for Glaucocharis natalensis (Hampson, 1919). The female genitalia of Caffrocrambus alcibiades Błeszyński are described and illustrated for the first time. The distribution of the species is briefly discussed.
Notes on some Old World Prionapterygini Landry, 1995 (Lepidoptera: Pyraloidea, Crambidae, Crambinae), with descriptions of new species. Zovax venus Bassi sp. n. along with two new species of Mesolia Ragonot, 1889 (M. meyi Bassi sp. n. and M. alborzella Bassi sp. n.) and four new species of Prionapteryx Stephens, 1834 (P. banaadirensis Bassi sp. n., P. eberti Bassi & Mey sp. n., P. helena Bassi sp. n. and P. somala Bassi sp. n.) are described. A lectotype is designated for Z. whiteheadii Wollaston, 1879. Loxophantis Meyrick, 1935 is newly considered as a synonym of Prionapteryx, which causes the following changes: Prionapteryx triplecta (Meyrick, 1935), comb. n., and Prionapteryx albimaculalis Hampson, 1919 = Loxophantis pretoriella Bleszynski, 1970 syn. n. P. triplecta is compared to P. diaplecta (Meyrick), P. albimaculalis is compared to P. plumbealis (Hampson) and M. meyi is compared to M. uniformella Janse 1922. All species are fully illustrated. The habitus of P. amathusia Bassi & Mey, 2011 is illustrated and corrections to Bassi & Mey (2011) are given. A list of species presently placed in Prionapteryx and which should be transferred to Surattha Walker, 1863 is given.
