Diagnosis. The male genitalia of A. cafrosana are similar to those of A. carabayana in the somewhat parallel­sided valva, but can be distinguished from the latter by their smaller distal lobes of the gnathos and slightly longer spine from the apicoventral angle. The narrow, slightly undulate, transverse ridge of the eighth tergum of the female of A. cafrosana is similar to that of A. powelli, but the latter has a conspicuously larger antrum.
Description. Head: Frontoclypeus white intermixed with brown, vertex pale yellow intermixed with dark gray; labial palpus with outer surface brown intermixed with reddish brown, inner surface white. Antenna with scape brown intermixed with dark brown; basal 8­10 flagellomeres reddish brown intermixed with brown; distal flagellomeres gray.
Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum pale reddish brown intermixed with pale yellow and gray. Forewing (Fig. 70) length 5.9­6.2 mm (n = 3); incomplete basal fascia and costal blotch brown intermixed with some orange­brown and dark brown, separated by an oblique pale band of white intermixed with pale reddish brown demarcating a costal blotch to slightly beyond CuP, recurved from distal costa through subapical area to tornus, encircling an elliptical ocellus, except for posterior end; costal blotch subtriangular, with a small, subcircular, white spot near posterior end; area between CuP and posterior margin brown intermixed with reddish brown and white; apical and submarginal areas brown intermixed with orange brown. Fringe mostly white intermixed with some grayish. Hindwing dark gray.
Abdomen: Male genitalia (Fig. 13; drawn from JWB slide 1069; n = 2) with uncus curved near apical 0.33. Socius digitate, ca. 0.5 length of basal portion of gnathos arms. Gnathos arms apically curved dorsoposteriorly, forming a pair of dorsally fused, narrow, elongate lobes with serrate margins. Valva narrow, parallel­sided from subbasal curve, densely setose from outer margin of cucullus to basal ridge; cucullus slightly rounded apically, broadly rounded to apicoventral margin; apicoventral angle slightly protuberant; length of seta at apicoventral angle ca. 0.33 width of valva. Phallus simple; vesica slightly microtrichiate. Female genitalia (Fig. 43; drawn from JWB slide 1070; n = 1) with an weakly developed, elliptical sclerite at lamella postvaginalis; eighth tergum with a narrow, slightly sinuate, transverse ridge (Fig. 43 insert); ostium weakly U­shaped, less than 0.5 width of seventh sternum at widest point. Ductus bursae long, slender; inception of accessory bursa ca. 0.5 distance from ostium to corpus bursae. Corpus bursae large, subspherical, spiculate on 0.33 side bearing ductus seminalis.
