Leptometa cynthia – a new species from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Lepidoptera, Lasiocampidae, Lasiocampinae, Argudini)
A new species of the genus Leptometa Aurivillius, 1927, Leptometa cynthia sp. n., is described from the rich Congolian forests. The new species is compared with the morphologically closest and sympatric Leptometa sapelensis Aurivillius, 1927 (type locality “Nigeria: Sapele”). Adult males and their genitalia are illustrated.
