This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Fiebig, Ralf (2026): Description of two new Casphalia Walker, 1866 from Africa (Lepidoptera, Limacodidae). Zootaxa 5853 (1): 132-136, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5853.1.9, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5853.1.9
Abstract
Two new species of Casphalia Walker, 1866, Casphalia eala sp. nov. from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Casphalia safiani sp. nov. from Cameroon, are described here. The new species are distinguished by comparison with the known Casphalia species and belong to the C. nigerrima species group (Fiebig et al. 2026). Adults, their genitalia, and a map showing the collection localities are illustrated.
