Uncus very small, short, broad triangular and distally blunt. Valvae large, oval-shaped, outer surface with long extrusible, hirsute, tube-like coremata; inner sclerotized process short, slightly curved and finely serrated. Vesica T-shaped, with two large, curved, parallel cornuti which are fused at their base at one end, and 10 - 15 small, straight cornuti arranged parallel in 2 - 3 rows at the other end; opening of ductus ejaculatorius located centrally, somewhat sclerotized.
Distribution
Central Africa; Rwanda.
Comments
So far only known from the male holotype. The distinct sclerotizations of the vesica support the species status of this taxon and clearly separate it from all other African Amerila species.
