Abstract

A new genus, Lvovskyella gen. nov. (Lepidoptera: Cossoidea: Metarbelidae), and two new species—L. alexandri sp. nov. (the type species) from Nigeria and L. squamuroides sp. nov. from Burkina Faso—are described. The new genus is closely related to the Oriental genus Squamura Heylaerts, 1890, from which it differs in the characters of the male genitalia.
