Manoba chirgwini Holloway sp. n.

Diagnosis

♂ 7mm. This species is similar to carrei but the forewing medial band is slightly narrower. The valve tapers more strongly to the apex than in carrei, and the harpe is shorter and more globular than in either of the previous two species, though still angled upwards. The aedeagus is also similar, though not produced or flanged apically.
