description: Blastobasis dapis Adamski, new species
(Figs. 6, 69–70, 278, 321, Map 5)
Diagnosis.— Blastobasis dapis is similar to B. balucis in facies but differs from the latter by having a wider gnathos; a narrower anal opening; a shorter apical process of the ventral part of the valva; a more protuberant ventral margin of the proximal flange of the dorsal part of the valva; and a shorter anellus.
Description.—Head: Vertex gray or pale gray; frontoclypeus pale brown. Outer and inner surfaces of labial palpus brownish gray intermixed with pale brownish-gray scales along apical margin of second segment, or pale brown intermixed with few brown scales, or pale brown. Antennal scape and pecten pale brown, flagellum brownish gray. Proboscis pale gray.
Thorax: Tegula with basal 1/2 brownish gray, apical 1/2 pale brownish gray, or agouti patterned, with brownish gray on basal and apical 1/3s, and pale brownish gray middle 1/3; mesonotum with basal 1/5 brownish gray, apical 4/5 pale brownish gray, or agouti patterned. Legs brownish gray intermixed with pale brownish-gray scales near midsegments and along apical margins of all segments and tarsomeres. Forewing (Fig. 321): Length 4.5–7.2 mm (n = 294), pale brown intermixed with few brown and brownish-yellow scales; submedian fascia complete or incomplete, faint or dark; cell with three spots, one near middle, one near apical end along crossvein; marginal spots faint or dark. Undersurface brown. Venation (Fig. 6) with CuA1 straight, CuA1 and CuA2 divergent from base. Hindwing: Translucent pale brown or translucent pale brown gradually darkening to apex. Venation (Fig. 6) with crossvein of cell weak; cubitus 4-branched with all veins arising submarginally from cubitus.
Abdomen: Male genitalia (Figs. 69–70): Uncus gradually narrowed from base, broadly rounded apically, slightly downcurved, sparsely setose, longer than width of anal opening. Dorsal strut of tegumen absent. Gnathos wide, confluent with tegumen, posteroventral margin slightly protracted mesially, bidentate; midwidth of pigmented part of gnathos greater than midwidth of uncus. Sockets of tergal setae extending beyond midlength of tegumen. Valva divided; ventral part broadened basally, gradually narrowed apically, forming inwardly curved spinelike process; process setose on outer surface, planate on inner surface; ventral margin setose from 1/3, slightly upturned, forming narrow fold, extending to near base of slightly raised setose lobe at base of spinelike process; dorsal part with apical portion of costa extending dorsolaterally, forming setose digitate process; area beneath costa overlaid with densely packed microtrichiate membrane extending above and below phallus to opposite side; basal ridge of digitate process protracted ventrally fusing with dorsolateral ridge of proximal flange; base of proximal flange extending laterally, forming protuberant ridge; ventrolateral margin of membrane above proximal flange bearing few hairlike setae intermixed with densely packed microtrichiae. Juxta bandlike. Vinculum semicircular. Phallus longer than valva; sclerite of phallus about equal to length of valva, slightly curved subapically and basally; anellus apically wider than at base, setose along margin. Female Genitalia: Unknown.
