Abstract

A new aphnaeine species Pseudaletis (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae: Aphnaeinae) found in northern Angola is described. The type specimens were collected in a unique mixture of miombo and secondary forest outlier south of the Congo Basin situated on a plateau north of the Kwanza River valley, isolated from other rainforest areas. The new species belongs to the P. clymenus species-group and may be endemic to Angola as recent studies provide evidence of the uniqueness of the forests of northern Angola. With 17 figures.
