Summary
Research conducted over multiple years, including a field expedition in Gabon's Ivindo National Park, has led to the identification and description of three new species within the Crambinae subfamily (Lepidoptera Pyraloidea). These include Chrysocatharylla larseni, Calamotropha hausmanni, and Calamotropha paradiakonoffi. Additionally, the study established a new synonymy for Pseudocatharylla ruwenzorella and documented seven species as new to Gabon. The research integrated undetermined specimens with expedition data, contributing significantly to the taxonomic understanding of this region's biodiversity.
