  abstract = {{T}en morphologically similar species of {A}crapex {H}ampson, 1891 ({L}epidoptera, {N}octuidae, {N}octuinae, {A}pameini) from {C}entral and {E}astern {A}frica are reviewed, including five new species: {A}crapex kafula le {R}u sp. nov., {A}. kavumba le {R}u sp. nov., {A}. kiakouama le {R}u sp. nov., {A}. miscantha le {R}u sp. nov. and {A}. simillima le {R}u sp. nov. {E}vidence is provided to transfer the monotypic genus {P}oecopa {B}owden, 1956 to the genus {A}crapex. {H}ost plants of five species are recorded, some of them for the first time. {A}crapex kavumba sp. nov., {A}. miscantha sp. nov. and {A}. simillima sp. nov. were found on one host plant each. {A}crapex mediopuncta, previously reported in {W}est {A}frica from {P}ennisetum purpureum {S}chumach., {R}ottboellia compressa {L}., {S}etaria megaphylla ({S}teud) {D}ur. & {S}chinz. and {S}orghum arundinaceum ({D}esv.) {S}tapf, was only found from {S}. megaphylla in {C}entral {A}frica. {L}arvae of {A}crapex unicolora were collected on {A}ndropogon gayanus {K}unth, {C}hrysopogon zizanoides ({L}.) {R}oberty, {C}ymbopogon schoenanthus subsp. proximus ({H}ochst. ex {A}. {R}ich.) {M}aire & {W}eller, {C}ymbopogon pospischiilii ({K}. {S}chum.) {C}. {E}. {H}ubb., {H}yparrhenia diplandra ({H}ack.) {S}tapf and {S}etaria sphacelata ({S}chumach.) {M}oss. {W}e also conducted molecular phylogenetic analyses (using maximum likelihood) and molecular species delimitation analyses on a comprehensive sample of 61 specimens belonging to eight of the studied species. {M}olecular phylogenetic analyses provided additional evidence of the synonymy of {A}crapex and {P}oecopa, whereas molecular species delimitation analyses support the validity of the five newly described species and unravel another potential new species, only collected in the larval stage.},
