Thirty-three species of Opogona Zeller, 1853 are known from St Helena, a remote island in the South Atlantic Ocean. Thirty-one of these species are endemic, showing the important radiation within this genus, unique to this island in the Atlantic Ocean. Comprehensive field work in 2017 and 2018 led to the discovery of further unknown species. The most distinctive are described in this paper: O. pallidimargo sp. nov., O. duttonae sp. nov., O. barnensis sp. nov., O. cairnswickseorum sp. nov., O. fowlerella sp. nov., O. gigantea sp. nov., O. keyorum sp. nov., O. beardae sp. nov. This increases the number of species of Opogona on St Helena to forty-one. Illustrations of adults, genitalia and habitats are given.

Pseudambia gen. nov. is described from Africa for the species Ambia albomaculalis Hampson,1897 comb. nov. together with three new species: Pseudambia kingstoni, P. manicensis and P. stellata.

A new Lycaenidae species of the genus Iridana Aurivillius, 1920 is described from Ghana, Iridana maesseni sp. nov. It is the seventh species of the “hypocala group”. Genetic and morphological evidence are used to delineate the new species.

Lingulabotys gen. nov. is erected to group two described species: Pilocrocis nubilinea Bethune-Baker, 1909 and Nacoleia haesitans Meyrick, 1934; both described from the African mainland. Illustrations of the adults and their genitalia are given with remarks on the systematic placement of the genus.
