Diagnosis. Wingspan 9–11mm. Externally characteristic by the black forewing with yellow markings and metallic transverse lines. Camptrodoxa bisecta (Meyrick, 1918) comb. nov. has less extensive yellow markings on the forewing. C. sorindeiae lacks the conspicuous costal strigulae present in C. plectocosma and C. bisecta . Male genitalia ( Figure 6 ) with cluster of strong spines distally on the ventral edge of sacculus.

Distribution. Angola, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Republic of South Africa, Tanzania and Zimbabwe.

Remarks. The male holotype of Laspeyresia plectocosma Meyrick, 1921 comes from Umtali, Rhodesia (= Mutare, Zimbabwe). It is preserved in the Ditsong Museum (formerly Transvaal Museum), S. Africa, and was figured by Razowski & Krüger (2007).
