The genus Eridachtha Meyrick, 1910 of the subfamily Lecithocerinae is revised for the Afrotropical region. Twelve new species are described within it: six from Kenya (Eridachtha campanella Park, sp. nov., E. cardialis Park, sp. nov., E. centriella Park, sp. nov., E. crococorypha Park, sp. nov. (which also occurs in Uganda), E. nairobiensis Park, sp. nov., and E. phiarella Park, sp. nov.), two from Tanzania (E. arumeruna Park, sp. nov. and E. kilimanjaroensis Park, sp. nov.), three from Uganda (E. pholexana Park, sp. nov., E. cupaformis Park, sp. nov., and E. atrihispida Park, sp. nov.), and one from South Africa (E. capensis Park, sp. nov.). Three of them (whose males remain unknown)-E. cupaformis, E. atrihispida and E. crococorypha-share with E. gymnopalpa (Janse, 1963), comb. nov., a yellowish-orange ground colour of the forewing, and are thus grouped in the E. gymnopalpa species-complex. Additionally, the genus Atrichozancla Janse, 1954, syn. nov. hitherto composed of three species (A. phaeocrossis (Meyrick, 1937), A. cosymbota (Meyrick, 1920), and A. gymnopalpa Janse, 1963), is synonymized with the genus Eridachtha on the basis of wing venation and genital characteristics. The adults and genitalia of the new Afrotropical species are illustrated, as well as those of E. calamopis Meyrick, 1920 and E. phaeochlora Meyrick, 1920.
对非洲热带地区的艾氏巢蛾属（Eridachtha Meyrick，1910）进行了修订，该属隶属于织蛾亚科（Lecithocerinae）。在此属内描述了12个新物种：6个来自肯尼亚（钟形艾氏巢蛾Eridachtha campanella Park，新种；心形艾氏巢蛾E. cardialis Park，新种；中心艾氏巢蛾E. centriella Park，新种；赭色艾氏巢蛾E. crococorypha Park，新种（也分布于乌干达）；内罗毕艾氏巢蛾E. nairobiensis Park，新种；菲氏艾氏巢蛾E. phiarella Park，新种），2个来自坦桑尼亚（阿鲁梅鲁纳艾氏巢蛾E. arumeruna Park，新种；乞力马扎罗艾氏巢蛾E. kilimanjaroensis Park，新种），3个来自乌干达（孔状艾氏巢蛾E. pholexana Park，新种；杯形艾氏巢蛾E. cupaformis Park，新种；黑鬃艾氏巢蛾E. atrihispida Park，新种），1个来自南非（开普艾氏巢蛾E. capensis Park，新种）。其中3个物种（雄性未知）——杯形艾氏巢蛾、黑鬃艾氏巢蛾和赭色艾氏巢蛾——与新组合的裸掌艾氏巢蛾（Eridachtha gymnopalpa (Janse, 1963)）前翅底色均为橙黄色，因此被归为裸掌艾氏巢蛾物种复合体。此外，1954年的无鬃织蛾属（Atrichozancla Janse）（新异名），此前由3个物种组成（暗纹无鬃织蛾A. phaeocrossis (Meyrick, 1937)、共斑无鬃织蛾A. cosymbota (Meyrick, 1920)和裸掌无鬃织蛾A. gymnopalpa Janse, 1963），根据翅脉和生殖器特征，将其与艾氏巢蛾属归为同义属。文中展示了新的非洲热带物种以及1920年的卡氏艾氏巢蛾（Eridachtha calamopis Meyrick）和绿褐艾氏巢蛾（E. phaeochlora Meyrick）的成虫和生殖器形态。
