Abstract

Two males and two females of Hypotrabala tabithae Takano & lászló, 2024 were found in the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History (Pretoria, Republic of South Africa) during a short visit in 2016. Females and their genitalia are illustrated and described here for the first time for H. tabithae, previously known after two type males. In addition, the male and its genitalia and geographic and ecoregional maps with four new collection localities in Zambia are illustrated.
