BF18F064FF8E7629FF1DA7D01D88FD34.taxon	description	Description. Head: small; eyes large, nearly same width as frons; haustellum very short, weakly sclerotized and in all probability non-functional; labial palpi rather long, regularly bent upwards, third palpomere straight, tip reaching base of antenna, first and third palpomeres equal in length, second palpomere somewhat longer with smooth scaling, first and second palpomeres ventrally long tufted, tufts distally tapering; frons smooth; antennae about half as long as forewing, clavate, serrate, ciliate, serration and ciliae distally tapering. Thorax: legs long and narrow, hind legs longer than abdomen; predominantly smoothly scaled, except for foreleg, which has tufted scales on femur ventrally and tibia laterally as well as mid- and hind leg which have raised scales on tibia dorsally and distally. Wings narrow; discal cell of forewing with narrow, longitudinal scale line indicating position of median vein; wing venation (Fig. 9): forewing with radial veins arising near cell apex, long common stalk of R 4 and R 5, origin of M 1 and M 2 approximated; hind wing with M 2 arising from costal third of cross vein, short stalk of M 3 and CuA 1, reduced anal veins. Abdomen: slender; basal segments slightly wasp-waisted, narrowest at segment two; anal tuft absent. Sternite 8 posteriorly with wide u-shaped emargination (Fig. 8 c). Male genitalia (Figs 7 – 8): tegumen and uncus very slender, membranous joined together; uncus bilobed; gnathos bipartite. Valva short and broad, without crista sacculi; inner surface except for sub-ventral part barely covered with short, hair-like setae; apically with area of strongly sclerotized, thorn-like setae; dorsally with high specialized, long, distally extremely broad, multifurcate setae. Saccus present. Juxta very shortly protruded; manica except for ventral part densely covered with sclerotized teeth. Phallus short; coecum penis present; vesica slightly enlarged proximally.	en	Bartsch, Daniel (2017): Hyleina kaphetea, a new genus and species of clearwing moths from tropical Africa (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae: Sesiini).

BF18F064FF8E7629FF1DA7D01D88FD34.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Within Sesiini Hyleina can be defined by the unique combination of the following characters: (1) antennae rather short (distinctly longer in most Sesiini genera); (2) basal part of abdomen wasp-waisted (absent in most Sesiini); (3) discal cell of forewing with distinct longitudinal scale line indicating position of median vein (lacking or short and distally in most Sesiini); (4) venation of forewing with approximated origin of radial veins including the long common stalk of R 4 and R 5 as well as approximated origin of M 1 and M 2; hind wing with short stalk of M 3 and CuA 1, and reduced anal veins (Fig. 9); (5) male genitalia with tegumen-uncus-complex long and slender with unique, extremely long, bipartite gnathos (tegumen-uncus-complex usually broader and more compact, gnathos shorter and more compact, often asymmetric, rarely bipartite in other Sesiini genera); (6) uncus ventro-laterally without strong sclerotized setae (present in most Sesiini); (7) valva pentagonal, inner surface dorsally with extremely broad, multifurcate setae (valva straight in most other Sesiini genera; medially angled in Sesia Clerck, 1759, setae of the valva simple or thorn-like in most Sesiini). There may be a likelihood of confusion of Hyleina with Sphecosesia Hampson, 1910 from the Oriental region and one species of Cyanosesia Gorbunov & Arita 1995 from the Australian region (see below). These three taxa have similar, extremely modified, multifurcate setae of the valva, which may be regarded as a synapomorphic character to show their relationship. This hypothesis needs further studies to be proved. Further common characters of Sphecosesia and Hyleina are the short, ciliate antennae and the wasp-like waist of the abdomen. However, Hyleina can be distinguished from Sphecosesia by the usually larger size, the reduced haustellum (developed in Sphecosesia) and the approximated origin of some forewing veins (more regular in Sphecosesia), in the male genitalia by the very different shapes of uncus (much larger and broader, laterally with multifurcate setae in Sphecosesia), gnathos (short and simple in Sphecosesia), and valva (longer and narrower, trapezoid with almost straight ventral margin in Sphecosesia) (see Kallies & Arita 2004).	en	Bartsch, Daniel (2017): Hyleina kaphetea, a new genus and species of clearwing moths from tropical Africa (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae: Sesiini).

BF18F064FF8D7628FF1DA4581B31FE9C.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The name of this species derived from the ancient Greek word: kaphetēs = brownish.	en	Bartsch, Daniel (2017): Hyleina kaphetea, a new genus and species of clearwing moths from tropical Africa (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae: Sesiini).

BF18F064FF8D7628FF1DA4581B31FE9C.taxon	description	Description. Head: Labial palpi pale grey with bright pearly gloss, tufted scales darker grey with light bluish gloss; frons smooth, pale grey with pearly gloss; scales of vertex short, slightly rough, pale grey; pericephalic scales pale grey, laterally white; antennae brown, distally blackish-grey, scape pale whitish-grey. Thorax: pale brown-grey with pearly, ventrally more intensive bright purple gloss. Legs pale grey; fore leg with bright purple; mid and hind leg with whitish-pearly gloss; mid and hind femur dark grey, ventral edge whitish; spurs whitish. Wings with well developed transparent areas; veins, margins, discal spots and fringes as well as apical area of forewing brownish-grey; the latter consisting of longitudinal, wedge-shaped, basad pointing spots in venous interspaces; hindwing distally with similar but much smaller spots in venous interspaces. Abdomen: pale brown-grey, tergites 1 and 2 somewhat darker, more brownish; anterior and posterior margin of tergite 1, as well as posterior margin of tergite 2 narrow black; anterior margin of tergite 2 indistinctly white. Male genitalia (Figs 7 – 8): tegumen slightly bend ventrally; uncus about half as long as tegumen, lobes scarcely covered with hair-like setae; gnathos long, minutely bend distally. Valva with dorsal margin rather short and straight, distal margin long and straight, ventral margin long and arcuate, thus appearing pentagonal; apical area of thorn-like setae round-oval; area of multifurcate setae extend over dorsal half. Saccus narrow, relatively short. Phallus (Figs 7 b, 8 b) straight, about as long as valva; coecum penis bilobed, lobes latero-distally with a small appendage; vesica covered with numerous fine spines. Variation. The species varies considerably in size with wingspan 21 – 30 mm, forewing length 9.5 – 14.0 mm, antenna 4.0 – 7.0 mm, body 9 – 17 mm, but only minutely in coloration as well as in extension of the transparent areas. One specimen from Zambia, Northwest Province, vic. Ikelenge and one from Malawi, Dzalanyama Forest has the whitish markings of the first abdominal segments more prominent and sternite 2 completely white (Fig. 2). The smallest specimen from Malawi, Dzalanyama Forest has apical area of forewings and distal margin of hindwings somewhat broader. Individual differences in shape of valva and number and arrangement of its setae may represent intra-specific variation, e. g. the specimen from Elisabethville has the apical area of thorn-like setae of the valva smaller and the tooth-like protrusion of its dorsal margin less distinct (Fig. 8).	en	Bartsch, Daniel (2017): Hyleina kaphetea, a new genus and species of clearwing moths from tropical Africa (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae: Sesiini).
