First and additional host-plant records for 38 species of Gelechiidae from South Africa and Kenya are presented. An annotated list with brief descriptions of larval biology and known geographical distributions is presented. Three species are described as new: Mesophleps kruegeri sp. nov. (Namibia: Kavango Region and South Africa: Limpopo Province), Istrianis inquilinus sp. nov. (South Africa: North West Province), and Teleiopsis sharporum sp. nov. (South Africa: Limpopo Province). The new combination Istrianis epacria (Bradley, 1965) comb. nov. is proposed. The male genitalia of Hypatima melanecta (Meyrick, 1914) is described for the first time. It is noticed that male hitherto associated with T. commaculata (Meyrick, 1918) in fact refers to T. pundamilia Bidzilya Mey, 2018. Hypatima stasimodes (Meyrick, 1931), Dichomeris coenulenta (Meyrick, 1927), Dichomeris eustacta Meyrick, 1921, Neotelphusa similella Janse, 1958 and Argophara epaxia Janse, 1963 are recorded for the first time from South Africa, and Istrianis epacria is new for Kenya. The adults, male and female genitalia are illustrated for some species mentioned in paper. The first record of the genus Teleiopsis Sattler, 1960 from South Africa is briefly discussed.
本文列出了来自南非和肯尼亚的38种麦蛾科昆虫的首次及新增寄主植物记录。同时给出了一份注释列表，其中简要描述了幼虫生物学特性及已知地理分布。描述了3个新物种：克鲁格美澳麦蛾Mesophleps kruegeri sp. nov.（纳米比亚：卡万戈地区和南非：林波波省）、内寄伊斯特麦蛾Istrianis inquilinus sp. nov.（南非：西北省）和夏普氏泰勒麦蛾Teleiopsis sharporum sp. nov.（南非：林波波省）。提出了新组合伊斯特麦蛾Istrianis epacria (Bradley, 1965) comb. nov.。首次描述了黑褐希帕麦蛾Hypatima melanecta (Meyrick, 1914)的雄性生殖器。注意到迄今与1918年的T. commaculata (Meyrick)相关联的雄性实际上指的是2018年的比氏泰勒麦蛾T. pundamilia Bidzilya。首次记录了南非的静希帕麦蛾Hypatima stasimodes (Meyrick, 1931)、共污歧麦蛾Dichomeris coenulenta (Meyrick, 1927)、优污歧麦蛾Dichomeris eustacta Meyrick, 1921、拟新澳麦蛾Neotelphusa similella Janse, 1958和埃氏阿麦蛾Argophara epaxia Janse, 1963，并记录了肯尼亚的新物种伊斯特麦蛾Istrianis epacria。文中对部分物种的成虫、雄性和雌性生殖器进行了图示。简要讨论了1960年萨特勒描述的泰勒麦蛾属Teleiopsis在南非的首次记录。
