Abstract

Oospila curvimargo Herbulot, 1991 is formally reinstated from synonymy with O. sporadata (Warren, 1906), and Oospila arycanda (Druce, 1892) is reinstated from synonymy with O. stagonata (Felder & Rogenhofer, 1875) based on differences in their genitalia. Four new species are separated from Oospila stagonata based on differences in their male and female genitalia: Oospila elegia Lindt & Viidalepp, sp. n., Oospila furcata Lindt & Viidalepp, sp. n., Oospila truncata Lindt & Viidalepp, sp. n. and Oospila rogata Lindt & Viidalepp, sp. n. The adults and their male and female genitalia are illustrated.
