Cameroons (L. Conradt). 
The species is close to that described by Borg as Hustegasta 
parva and subsequently by me as Paraplecta aethiopica, but can be 
distinguished by the different venation of the tegmina, the granu- 
late pronotum* and form of the sub-genital lamina. It is scar- 
cely necessary to point out that neither parva Borg nor conradti 
mihi have the slightest affinity with the genus Hustegasta.
