Bull. Hill Mus. 4: 174.</p><p>Anapisa monotonia Kiriakoff, 1963 . Mem. de l’Inst. Fran. d’Afrique Noire 66: 402, syn. nov.</p><p>Material examined. Holotype of A. monotonia 3, [blue rectangular label] “I.F.A.N., NIMBA (Guinée), Lamotte et Roy, VII · XII [19]51” (MNHN). Syntypes of A. holobrunnea 2 3, Massadou, Nr. Macenta, 1600 ft, 13–17.v.26; French Guinea, C. L. Collenette (BMNH); Additional material: 2 3 Ajenjua Bepo Forest Reserve; 24–30.VIII.2006 (AMU, ISEA); 4 3 Mamang River Forest Reserve; 31.VIII. – 04.IX.2006 (AMU, ISEA).</p><p>Distribution. New for Ghana. Until now known only from south Guinea: Mt. Nimba and Macenta near Massadou. New data from Ghana (Figs 1 G–I) suggest that the species is wider distributed across Western Equatorial Africa.</p><p>Description. Male genitalia (Figs 1 H–I) (Ghana, gs - S135, ISEA) Uncus directed ventrally, moderately elongated, flattened distally, dully pointed terminally; basal portion latero-ventrally with elongate setae. Tegumen large with two lateral ventrally directed pointed processes beneath uncus. Saccus large, broad, fused with vinculum in one conspicuous plate expanded laterally towards tegumen. Pedunculus and vinculum widely fused forming together with tegumen and saccus-vinculum complex a wide, sclerotized ring surrounding phallus. Valva reduced, consisting of two processes: one pointed towards tip, second club-like. Phallus short, wide; vesica with two prominent, sclerotized, elongated sacks pointed terminally, covered with numerous, short setae. For comparison a sketch of the male genitalia of the holotype of A. monotonia is provided in Fig. 1 J (gs – P75, MNHN). The female remains unknown.</p><p>Remarks. Anapisa monotonia (Figs 1 D–F, J) was described from Mt. Nimba in Guinea based on a single male collected at light at Ziéla (550 m a.s.l.). Examination of the type deposited in MNHN revealed that the specimen is conspecific with Apisa holobrunnea (Figs 1 A–C) described 31 years earlier by Talbot. His description is very short but comprehensively points out all diagnostic characters of the species. Therefore, an additional redescription of the imago habitus is unnecessary. The male genitalia, however, were neither depicted nor described before, although one of the two syntypes of A. holobrunnea deposited in BMNH has been dissected by Kiriakoff. The genitalia of this specimen bear laterally, beneath the uncus, two ventrally directed pointed processes which correspond with the same structures found both in the type of A. monotonia and the specimens from Ghana. The processes on the illustrated genitalia are oriented upwards and therefore they are not easily visible – their location is indicated by black arrows (Fig. 1 H).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039287B0FFC4C219F3923DB0FB149A0B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Previously recorded from Cameroon, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Niger, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Uganda. The occurrence of the species in Ghana could be expected based on the known distribution.

Verified data confirm its occurrence in Gabon, Guinea, Ivory Coast and Nigeria. It probably has a much wider distribution.</p><p>Remarks. Apisa cinereocostata is superficially very similar to A. (A.) canescens Walker, 1855 and therefore confused with it for a long time. Only recently the examination of the type specimens revealed strong differences in the morphology of the male genitalia. In A. cinereocostata, the apical part of the uncus is divided in 2 distinct, sharp processes whereas in A. (A.) canescens it is single and narrowed towards the tip. The second representative of the subgenus Parapisa, Apisa subargentea Joicey and Talbot, 1921 is rather distinct from A. cinereocostata both in habitus and in male genitalia (Przybyłowicz 2009). It is slightly larger with its forewing uniformly shiny silver and apical processes of uncus widely separated. The female of A. cinereocostata remains unknown.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039287B0FFC6C21AF3923999FBBB9B85	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

New for Ghana. The species was so far recorded from Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Nigeria. The new data indicate that the species also inhabits the narrow, western part of the African rainforest zone reaching the westernmost part of Guinea. The species is therefore likely to be found in other countries located along the northern coast of the Gulf of Guinea.</p><p>Remarks. R. postrosea may be confused with some other members of the genus. Populations from Ghana are characterized by the much more extensive yellow colouration of the hind wing (Fig. 2 B). Only one female has a well visible pale pinkish-yellow hind wing. The most reliable character distinguishing the species is the shape of male genitalia (Figs 3 A–B) (gs - S133, ISEA). The specific characters of the female genitalia are not known yet (Fig. 3 C) (gs - S134, ISEA). Their morphology does not differ from the related species belonging to the nominal subgenus. An additional problem is that the females of several species are still unknown.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039287B0FFC6C21AF3923BECFC419E1B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It belongs to an assemblage of several moderate sized, ochraceous species (Fig. 2 E). The females of many species in this group remain unknown. In most cases the ascription of females to the known males is dubious and requires further researches based on extensive material. The date and collecting place of this specimen may suggest its affiliation to M. paremphares . Close comparison of morphological details of the female genitalia of the collected specimen (Fig. 3 I) (gs - S139, ISEA) with the female syntype of M. paremphares presented in Przybyłowicz (2009: 154, Plate 111) reveals some small differences: much more distinct signum, more sclerotized basal part of ductus bursae and slightly wider, larger ostium bursae. Due to the lack of comparative material it is impossible to judge at present if these differences indicate the intraspecific variability of M. paremphares or rather represent the typical pattern of one of a few similar species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039287B0FFC1C21DF39238ACFBF49A4D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
