As the vesica structure of this population from the East Usambara Mountains remains unstudied, it is herein described as a subspecies of <i>A. tryphosa</i>, to which this taxon is very similar morphologically, and the clarification of its status will be possible in the future after the examination of additional specimens.</p><p><b>Diagnosis</b>. The forewing length is 12.5 mm in the male holotype and 15.0 mm in the female paratype. <i>Acanthosia tryphosa pringlei</i> <b>ssp. n.</b> differs from the two other subspecies of <i>A. tryphosa</i> in the more postmedially convex costal margin of the forewing and the more ochreous forewing ground colour. The male genital capsule of the new subspecies differs from <i>A. t. tryphosa</i> and <i>A. t. duplicata</i> in the proximally broader distal lobe of the distal saccular process, the basally narrower proximal lobe of the distal saccular process, and the somewhat longer juxta. Additionally, the cornutus in the vesica of <i>A. t. pringlei</i> <b>ssp. n.</b> is somewhat smaller than in the two other subspecies. The female genitalia of the new subspecies are very similar to <i>A. t. tryphosa</i> and <i>A. t. duplicata</i> but the ostium bursae is somewhat narrower, the sclerotised area of the posterior section of the corpus bursae is displaced ventrally, and the signum bursae is slightly smaller than the corresponding structures of two other subspecies of <i>A. tryphosa</i>.</p><p><b>Distribution</b>. The subspecies is currently known only from the East Usambara Mountains in north-eastern Tanzania.</p><p><b>Etymology</b>. The new subspecies is named after the collector of its type specimens, Dr Gerry Pringle, former director of the Malaria Institute in Amani, Tanzania. The name is a noun in the genitive case.</p>
