Abstract

Four new species of the genus Hapsimachogonia Prozorov & Zolotuhin, 2016 are described: 1) Hapsimachogonia graham sp. n. from Uganda; 2) Hapsimachogonia margit sp. n. from Angola and Namibia; 3) Hapsimachogonia max sp. n. from West African Sahel; and 4) Hapsimachogonia michael sp. n. predominantly occurring in West African forests but also recorded in a few locations northwards in the Sahel. Hapsimachogonia cavuata Prozorov & Zolotuhin, 2016 is recorded for the first time in the Central African Republic. Adults of both sexes, their genitalia, map with collecting localities, and phylogenetic tree with p-distances are analyzed and illustrated.
