Four species, including Pseudambia kingstoni and P. manicensis, were described, increasing knowledge of African lepidoptera.
The novel genus Pseudambia is established from the reclassification of Ambia albomaculalis, a key finding in pyraloidea taxonomy.
This research contributes to the understanding of crambidae diversity and the ecological significance of lepidoptera in Africa.
The study emphasizes the importance of taxonomic exploration to uncover hidden biodiversity in under-researched regions.

Implication

New genus Pseudambia reveals four species in Africa, highlighting biodiversity in spilomelinae.

Abstract

Pseudambia gen. nov. is described from Africa for the species Ambia albomaculalis Hampson,1897 comb. nov. together with three new species: Pseudambia kingstoni, P. manicensis and P. stellata.
