New moth subfamily (for me)

Chrysopoloma restricta, Frontier Mine, Dr Congo

A new subfamily for me (Chrysopolominae), a very large and distinctive Limacodid, distinctive that is once I'd tracked it down in the available literature.

Camerunia flava, Frontier Mine, DR Congo
 Cool moth and a new genus for me.

Chrysotypus dawsoni, Frontier Mine, DR Congo
An enormous Thyridid, biggest I've seen by a mile.

Phryganopsis angulifascia, Frontier Mine, DR Congo
And a small and understated Arctiinae to finish.
