Introduction
The genus Camellocossus Yakovlev, 2011 (Lepidoptera: Cossidae, Cossinae) was established for Cossus abyssinica Hampson, 1910. The apomorphic characters of the genus are: the wide swollen valves with a crest of a complicated shape of the costal edge, very long and thin transtilla processes. The representatives of the genus are widely spread in North and East Africa and in the South of the Arabian peninsula (Yakovlev 2011, images were taken with the Olympus SZX16 camera. The genitalia and imago images were processed using Corel Draw software. The materials for this study were examined in the following depositories: Natural History Museum (NHMUK, London); Museum Witt (MWM, Munich, later 12.i.1985; 20.x.1985; 15.ii.1985 (3 males); 20.xii.1984; 17.01.1986; 2 males, 3 females (Genitalpräparat Heterocera # 33158, MWM), Bobo Douglasso, 18.i.1980& 14.xii.1974.
Description. Length of fore wing in holotype 14 mm (in paratypes 14−15 mm). Antenna bipectinate (seta 2.5 longer than antenna rod diameter), antenna equal to 1/3 of fore wing in length. Fore wing lightbrown, gradually lightening from base to outer edge, with very thin poorly developed brown reticulated pattern, thin transverse undulated black lines on fore wing discally, postdiscally and submarginally; ocherbrown portion with black strokes on it postdiscally at base of cubital veins; fringe light-brown unicolorous. Hind wing light-grey with very thin poorly developed reticulated pattern, fringe light-brown unicolorous.
Male genitalia. Uncus conical, relatively short, apically semicircular; gnathos arms thick, short; gnathos large, densely covered with spikes throughout surface; valve very wide, with robust crest on costal edge along all length of valve, this crest has clearly expressed folds on inner surface closer to distal edge; transtilla processes very long (about 2/3 of valve in length), basally thick, apically acute, uncinately bent; juxta large with long clavate lateral processes; saccus very wide; phallus slightly curved in basal third, equal to valve in length, almost of even thickness throughout its length, apex obliquely cut, vesica aperture in dorso-apical position, about ¼ of phallus in length, vesica without cornuti.
Female. Length of fore wing 19 mm, antenna not pectinate, fore wing wider than that of male, pattern less expressed.
Diagnosis. In the male genital structure, the new species is most close to Camellocossus ngai Yakovlev & Witt, 2017 from Kenya, from which it differs in the robust juxta with long clavate lateral processes.
Male genitalia. Uncus conical, relatively short, apically semicircular; gnathos arms thick, relatively short; gnathos robust, densely covered with spikes throughout surface; valve very wide, with robust crest on costal edge throughout entire length of valve, this crest closer to distal edge significantly larger, with clearly expressed folds of inner surface; deep semicircular notch on abdominal edge of valve (on border between medium and distal third); transtilla processes very long (about 1/2 of valve in length), basally thick, apically acute, uncinately curved; juxta robust with relatively short very robust lateral processes; saccus very wide; phallus practically straight, equal to valve in length, of almost even thickness throughout its length, apex obliquely cut, vesica aperture in dorso-apical position, constitutes about 1/3 of phallus in length, vesica without cornuti.
Female unknown. Diagnosis. The new species clearly differs from the known species of the genus in the strongly reduced pattern on the fore wing and in the expressed notch on the abdominal edge of the valve.
Etymology. Manāt was a Semitic goddess worshiped in the Arabian Peninsula before the rise of Islam and the Islamic.
Distribution. Southern Mauretania. Description. Length of fore wing in holotype 17 mm (in paratype -16.5 mm). Antenna bipectinate (seta 2.5 times longer than antenna rod diameter), antenna about 1/3 of fore wing in length. Fore wing lightbrown with dense sputtering of grey scales basally and postdiscally, thin dark-brown transverse wavy lines discally, postdiscally and submarginally, very thin poorly developed brown reticulated pattern; fringe lightbrown unicolorous. Hind wing laght-grey with very thin poorly developed brown reticulated pattern, fringe light-brown unicolorous.
Male genitalia. Uncus conical, relatively short, apically semicircular; gnathos arms thick, relatively short; gnathos robust, densely covered with spikes throughout surface; valve very wide, with robust crest on costal edge throughout entire length of valve, with transverse folding developed along all the crest, transtilla processes very long, acute, uncinately curve; juxta robust with lateral processes strongly extended on ends; saccus large, semicircular; phallus straight, equal to valve in length, of equal thickness throughout length, apex obliquely cut, vesica aperture in dorso-apical position, constitutes about 1/3 of phallus in length, vesica without cornuti.
Female unknown. Diagnosis. The new species clearly differs from all the known species of the genus in the robust crest on the costal edge of the valve along all the valve length, with the developed transverse folding along all the surface of the crest, and in the lateral processes of the juxta which are strongly extended on ends.
Etymology. The Sokoto Caliphate was a sovereign Sunni Muslim caliphate in West Africa that was founded during the jihad of the Fulani War in 1804.
