Abstract
Six new species of stem-boring AGROTIDAE are described from Africa. The new genera, Carelis, Poecopa and Manga are erected to accommodate three of these species; the other three species are described in the genus Busseola.A key to nine genera is given, and also one to separate five extremely similar species, Poeonoma serrata (Hampson), B. fusca (Fuller), B. quadrata, sp. n., B. phaia, sp. n., and B. segeta, sp. n.Keywords
