Mamestra lupa

description: The lupa -group
Diagnosis – Large moths with robust body, very long and strongly bipectinated male antennae, elongate and apically acute but relatively broad forewings. Patterns of fore wing are regular, contrasting, reniform and claviform stigmata and the subterminal line are strongly expressed, basal part of reniform stigma usually defined with blackish-brown scales. Abdominal brush organ well-developed.
Female abdomen bears characteristic “lanuginose” terminal tuft, analogous with some Lymantriinae spp., possibly having role in the defence of eggs (see the etymology of the new species).
In the male genitalia, the uncus is short, acute triangular; the valvae have slightly elongate saccular process and very long „neck” of the relatively small, rounded cucullus. Ampulla relatively long with some specific variations, acute or obtuse; aedeagus and vesica very long, with long and relatively narrow field of fasciculate cornuti. In female genitalia the appendix bursae is extremely elongate, slightly saccate terminally.

Ctenoceratoda nefasta

description: The nefasta -group
Diagnosis – A relatively poorly known species group since we have almost exclusively old, “classic” material from two (nefasta and optima) of the three species. Externally, the members of this lineage resemble the species of the sukharevae -group, but the structure of the male genitalia displays the closer relationship with the tancrei -group.
Medium-sized (nefasta and optima) or large (leucostigma) moths with robust body, long and strongly bipectinated male antennae, relatively broad forewings with ochreous-greyish ground colour and regular maculation.
In the male genitalia, the uncus is relatively short and acute, the ampulla is long and slightly falcate with acute or obtuse tip, the “neck” of cucullus is relatively long and the “head” is rounded, relatively small, without incision.

Saldaitis (coll. M. Dvořák, Smrcna, Czech Republic).
Slide Nos: GYP 1739m; RL 8644m, VZ 7678m, VZ 9491m, VZ 9492m, VZ 9521m (males), VZ9508f, VZ9509 (females).
Diagnosis – Ctenoceratoda scotosparsa is on average the smallest species of the khorgossi -group with its wingspan 33–38 mm. It is most closely related to C. argyrea (Figs 7–8) but is smaller in size and more narrow-winged, the light ochreous-grey ground colour of the forewing is irrorated with whitish and blackish-brown scales, and the entire wing is less shiny than in C. argyrea. The maculation is also different: reniform stigma finely blackish defined, with blackish-brown filling and an L-shaped whitish spot basally, without “pipeshaped” elongate whitish stripe like in C. argyrea and C. khorgossi. The claviform stigma is unicolorous blackish-brown, being very different from those of all other species of the species-group (and the whole genus). The inner side of the subterminal line is followed by sharp black arrowheads. The hindwings are more unicolorous and darker than in all related species.
The male genitalia (Figs 43–46) are also proportionally smaller than in the related species, the “head” of the cucullus is not inflated than in C. argyrea and more rounded than in C. cyanochrea (Figs 47–48). The ampulla is relatively broad, slightly curved and rounded terminally; the fascia of cornuti in vesica is shorter than in the related species, as well as the appendix bursae in the female genitalia (Fig. 42).
Distribution and bionomics. Mostly unknown. The type-series was collected at medium-high altitude of the Mongolian Altai Mts; the flight period is the early summer.

M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: BRITISH COLUMBIA: 1♀, Port Coquitlam, backyard MV, 49.2441620°N 122.778125°W, 850m, 5.v.2014 (Dave G. Holden) [UBCZ].
A Palaearctic species, most probably introduced. The species is keyed and illustrated by HEISS & PERICART (2007) and is the most widespread flatbug in Europe reaching the Russian Far East territories, but is not yet recorded from Japan (HEISS 2001). A. depressus is easily recognizeable by its small size, anterolateral angles of the pronotum that are pale, and the stout rather short antennae.

This North-East-Palaearctic species is also keyed and illustrated by HEISS & PERICART (2007) and the very characteristic male genitalic structures of the Canadian specimen were compared and considered identical to those of reference specimens from Russia, thus confirming the first record in the New World. According to HEISS (2001) A. laeviusculus is distributed from Scandinavia across Russia to the Far East.

Described from Russian Primorsk Territory, however only few records are reported to date from Russia and Korea (HEISS 2001). The series from Canada was compared with paratypes from Siberia and the habitually very similar Aradus obtectus VASARHELYI, 1988, which was described from Romania in Europe and later reported as transpalaearctic, reaching even Japan (HEISS 2001, NAGASHIMA & SHONO 2012).
Detailed comparison of the male genitalic structures of Siberian, Canadian and European specimens by senior author did not show any differences, an overlooked fact which confirms now the suspicion, that they all belong to the same widely distributed taxon. As pictellus KERZHNER, 1972 has priority, the following synonymy is proposed:
Aradus pictellus KERZHNER, 1972 = Aradus obtectus VASARHELYI, 1988, nov. syn.

Described from California and recorded only from that state in HENRY & FROESCHNER (1988). The species is keyed by PARSHLEY (1921) who notes that it is similar to A. duzeei BERGROTH, 1892, but differs in the shape of the pronotum and in the genital structure. The pronotum is widest in the basal third, the rostrum reaches the mesosternum, and the genital lobes are short and truncate posteriorly.

Described from California and recorded only from that state in HENRY & FROESCHNER (1988). The senior author compared the specimens with photographs of the male holotype which is in the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. KORMILEV (1980) stated that A. brevicornis runs to A. borealis HEIDEMANN, 1909 in Parshley’s key, but differs in that the antennae are shorter, with the second antennae segment half as long as the distance between the eyes, and the labium is much shorter, reaching half of prosternum. Females are brachypterous. The species also has a different coloration. The unreported male genitalic structures are figured for the first time.

description: The Th. signata species-group
Diagnosis. Members of the species-group are characterised by the limited sexual dimorphism expressed in the somewhat smaller and more rounded medial forewing spot in the females. In the male genitalia, the genital capsules of the majority of species are very similar and the diagnostic characters are found only in their phallus sizes and vesica structures. The vesica of the species-group is characterised by the short and conical distal diverticulum bearing a single cornutus, and the large ventral medial diverticulum (in proportion to the main chamber of the vesica). In the female genitalia, the posterior gelatinous enlargement of the corpus bursae is situated ventrally and has an appendix bursae originating from its posterior part.

Note. In the original description, Alphéraky (1897) erroneously determined the sex of the single type specimen as female.
Diagnosis. The forewing length is 14.5–16.5 mm in males and 16.0–17.0 mm in females. Thysanoplisna brevimacula is externally reminiscent of Th. signata but distinguished by the somewhat darker, brownish-grey forewing ground colour, which is ochreous brown in the congener. The male genital capsules of the two species are alike while the phallus of Th. brevimacula is somewhat longer than in Th. signata. The main diagnostic characters are found in the vesica configurations: compare to Th. signata, the vesica of Th. brevimacula is considerably broader, has a broad and prominent dorsal medial diverticulum (it is reduced in Th. signata), a longer and broader ventral medial diverticulum, and a somewhat longer distal diverticulum bearing a slightly thicker and basally wider cornutus. The female genitalia of the two species are very similar but the ductus of Th. brevimacula is considerably narrower than in the congener.
Distribution. Southwestern and Central China (Sichuan and Hubei Provinces). The specimen illustrated by Fang (2000: pl. XI, fig. 23) as ‘ Thysanoptyx brevimacula ’ is Th. directa.

Diagnosis. The forewing length is 14.5–15.5 mm in males and 15.5–16.5 mm in females. Thysanoplisna bachma sp. nov. is superficially reminiscent of the allopatric Th. grandimacula sp. nov. and differs only in its smaller size. The male genitalia of the new species are most similar to Th. signata but can be easily distinguished by the longer and broader phallus, and the markedly longer and broader vesica having a longer and broader ventral medial diverticulum and lacking the dorsal subbasal diverticulum. Additionally, the distal diverticulum of Th. bachma sp. nov. is longer and broader than in the congener and bears a horn-shaped cornutus directed rather distally whereas in Th. signata it is more curved, thorn-shaped and directed nearly perpendicularly to the diverticulum axis. The female genitalia of Th. bachma sp. nov. differ clearly from Th. signata in the anteriorly broader ductus bursae, the markedly broader posterior gelatinous enlargement of the corpus bursae having a lateral sclerotised plate on the left side and a sack-like membranous diverticulum on the right side, and the broader and laterally curved appendix bursae. Compared to Th. grandimacula sp. nov., the new species has a broader ductus bursae and a posterior gelatinous enlargement of the corpus bursae with a lateral appendix, which is absent in the congener.
Distribution. Central Vietnam (Thừa Thiên Huế Province).
Etymology. The specific epithet is homonymic of the type locality. The name is a noun in the nominative singular in apposition.

Diagnosis. The forewing length is 16.5–17.5 mm in males and 18.0–19.0 mm in females. Thysanoplisna tenebrosa sp. nov. is superficially similar to Th. directa but can be distinguished by its darker, brownish-grey forewing ground colour (it is ochreous brown in the congener), and the remarkably broader medial forewing spot in both sexes. The male genital capsule of the new species is very similar to Th. directa but has a narrower and somewhat more elongate distal section. The phalli of the two species are alike. Compared to Th. directa, the vesica of Th. tenebrosa sp. nov. has a longer basal diverticulum, a narrower distal section with markedly thinner and slightly shorter cornuti, and an additional, short lateral diverticulum bearing a small spike-like cornutus. The female genitalia of Th. tenebrosa sp. nov. differ from Th. directa in the posteriorly broader ductus bursae, the larger posterior gelatinous enlargement of the corpus bursae, and the longer and broader appendix bursae. Additionally, the signum bursae of the new species is smaller and nearly round whereas it is elliptical in the congener.
Distribution. Southwestern China (Sichuan Province).
Etymology. The Latin ‘tenebrosus’ means ‘dark, gloomy’ and refers to the dark forewing ground colour of the new species. The name is an adjective in apposition to the genus name.
