Three genera (Phalarotortrix gen. n., Darmana gen. n., Malolotia gen. n.) and 39 species (Eugnosta umtamvuna sp.n., Hectaphelia wintertonia sp. n., Epichoristodes kangoana sp. n., Epichoristodes bispina sp. n., Eccopsis pollens sp. n., Afroploce analcis sp. n., Nepheloploce prodromal sp. n., Diakonoffiana graziani sp. n., Lobesia dorsiscopa sp. n., Astronauta gnophera sp. n., Darmana mandaranae sp. n., Bactra pallidior sp. n., Bactra botswanae sp. n., Hystrichophora kwazuluana sp. n., Gypsonoma penthestes sp. n., Gypsonoma brunnhimation sp. n., Melolotia melolotiana sp. n., Thiodia gracilia sp. n., Epiblema didimum sp. n., Xenosocia kilimanjaro sp. n., Cosmetra mafikana sp. n., Strepsicrates badplaasia sp. n., Herpystis pleinocolor sp. n., Endotera subseparata sp. n., Fulcrifera incrassa sp. n., Fulcrifera boavistae sp. n., Fulcrifera namutomi sp. n., Amabrana yauonde sp. n., Thylacogaster primaria sp. n., Selania leptota sp. n., Selania macula sp. n., Cydia marientali sp. n., Lathronympha oios sp. n., Thaumatotibia adidacta sp. n., Grapholita gameae sp. n., Grapholita sabieae sp. n., Microsarotis arushae sp. n., Parapammene acutapex sp. n. are described. Forty-nine genera are characterized. The following new combinations are proposed: Clepsis intense (MEYRICK), comb. n.; Epichoristodes pleuroptila (MEYRICK), comb. n.; Phalarotortrix phalarocosma (MEYRICK), comb. n.; P. ergastularis (MEYRICK), comb. n.; Melolotia niphaspis (MEYRICK), comb. n.; M. galactitis (MEYRICK), comb. n.; M. albocellus (RAZOWSKI & TREMATERRA), comb. n.; Eccopsis petromacha (MEYRICK), comb. n.; Thiodia actuosa (MEYRICK), comb. n.; Gypsonoma projecta (MEYRICK, 1921), comb. n.; Cosmetra accipitrina (MEYRICK), comb. n.; C. anepenthes (RAZOWSKI & TREMATERRA), comb. n.; C. latiloba (RAZOWSKI & WOJTUSIAK), comb. n.; C. calliarma (MEYRICK), comb. n.; Strepsicrates melanastrapis (DIAKONOFF), comb. n.; Endotera areata (MEYRICK), comb. n.; Leguminivora anthracotis (MEYRICK), comb. n.; Fulcriphera phruda (RAZOWSKI & WOJTUSIAK), comb. n.; Acanthoclita pectinate (DIAKONOFF), comb. n.; Stenentoma monitrix (MEYRICK), comb. n.; and Grapholita euclera (MEYRICK), comb. n. The following new synonymies are proposed: Clepsis monochroa RAZOWSKI, 2006 is a synonym of C. intense (MEYRICK,1921); Lobesia oluducha RAZOWSKI, 2012 of L. vanilliana (JOANNIS, 1900); Eucosma calculosa MEYRICK, 1913 of Coniostola stereoma (MEYRICK, 1913); Laspeyresia malesma MEYRICK, 1920 and Laspeyresia platydryas MEYRICK, 1932 of Cydia campestris (MEYRICK, 1914); Mesotes DIAKONOFF, 1988 of Acanthoclita DIAKONOFF, 1982; and Muhabettina KOÇAK, 2006 of Acanthoclita DIAKONOFF, 1982.
