A new species of Ectoedemia Busck from Botswana with observations on its imaginal skeletal anatomy (Lepidoptera: Nepticulidae)
Abstract
A new species of Nepticulidae is described and a key to the species of Ectoedemia from southern Africa is provided. Some observations on the skeletal anatomy of the species and of E. nigrimacula (Janse) are recorded. This information is compared with that accrued from some morphological studies of other primitive Lepidoptera.
