Abstract
Investigations into the lappet moth genus Grammodora Aurivillius, 1927, hitherto considered monotypic, have resulted in the description of two new species from Angola and Tanzania: G. angolana sp. n. and G. smithi sp. n. Despite variability in the COI-5P locus of mtDNA, stability in the habitus and genital morphology have enabled the accurate delimitations of the species, and biogeographic interpretations are presented based on locality data mined from numerous museum and private collections. It appears the former is an isolated western vicariant of G. nigrolineata (Aurivillius, 1895) whilst the latter, previously believed to be a pale form of G. nigrolineata, is allopatrically (or potentially parapatrically) distributed with it in Tanzania.
对迄今为止被认为是单型蛾属的 Grammodora Aurivillius（1927 年）的调查，描述了来自安哥拉和坦桑尼亚的两个新物种：G. angolana sp.n 和 G. smithi sp.n：n. 和 G. smithi sp. n. 尽管 mtDNA 的 COI-5P 位点存在变异，但习性和生殖器形态的稳定性使我们能够准确地划分物种，并根据从众多博物馆和私人收藏中挖掘的地点数据进行了生物地理学解释。前者似乎是 G. nigrolineata（Aurivillius，1895 年）的一个孤立的西部近缘种，而后者以前被认为是 G. nigrolineata 的一种苍白形态，与 G. nigrolineata 同域（或可能同域）分布于坦桑尼亚。
