Abstract

In this paper, we describe a new species, Amerila francesae Ignatev & László, sp. n., from Tanzania, East Africa. Considering the distinctive characters of external and genital morphology corroborated by genetic data retrieved from mitochondrial COI-5P gene, we assign this new species and A. mulleri Häuser & Boppré, 1997 with the Amerila magnifica Rothschild, 1910 species complex. We illustrate the habitus, the male and female genitalia, the distribution of the new species and its closest allies.
