Anus with 35–42 setae in dorsal fringe, 34–36 in ventral. Dimensions: TW, 0.46; HL, 0.31–0.33; PW, 0.27–0.29; PSL, 0.10–0.11; MW, 0.41–0.42; MSL, 0.14–0.15; AWIV, 0.56–0.61; ANW, 0.20–0.21; TL, 1.50–1.64.

Type material. Holotype female (NMNH), ex T. flaviventris, TRINIDAD: Sangre Grande, Melajo For, 15 May 1956, W. G. Downs, TRVL 207. Paratypes (NMNH, TNHM, RCD), all ex T. flaviventris: TRINIDAD: 1 male, same data as holotype; 2 females, 2 males, Caroni River, 4 Jan 1961, TRVL 5257; 1 male, Naparima Mayaro Road, 23 Jul 1968, E. S. Tikasingh, BM 1974–636; NE PERU: 2 males, SE Iquitos, Rio Napa, Explor Napa Camp, 16 Jun 1989, R. C. Dalgleish et al 9406.
Remarks. The small number of marginal metanotal setae, the moderate dimensions, and the lengths of the postspiracular setae ally females of Myrsidea flaviventris with those of M. barbati and separate both of these species from all others of this group. The females of these two species may be separated from each other by the number of setae in each anal fringe, the width of the anus, and the number of sternal setae on V–VI. The males are recognized by their respective distinctive genital sac sclerites (Fig. 12 vs Fig. 10).

Myrsidea similis

description: Myrsidea similis Price, Hellenthal and Dalgleish, new species (Figs. 11–12)
Type host. Myiozetetes similis (Spix), Social Flycatcher.
Female. Dorsal thorax and abdomen as in Fig. 11. Metanotum with 11 marginal setae. Tergites II–IV with slight medioposterior convexity. Tergal setae: I, 13; II, 17; III, 12; IV, 15; V, 13; VI, 12; VII, 10; VIII, 8. Postspiracular setae on III and V–VI shorter than very long postspiracular setae on adjacent segments. Sternal setae: II, each aster with 3 setae, 22 other setae; III, 18; IV, 33; V, 46; VI, 32; VII, 14; VIII–IX of subgenital plate, 24. Anus with 43 setae in dorsal fringe, 38 in ventral.

Type material. Holotype female (OSU), ex M. similis, COSTA RICA: Limon Province, Las Diametes, 8 Apr 1964, O­2492. Paratype (OSU): 1 male, same data as holotype.
Remarks. The female of Myrsidea similis is distinguished from others of the group by its postspiracular setal configuration in conjunction with the large number of marginal metanotal and tergite II setae, the wide anus with its large number of fringe setae, and the large dimensions. The male genital sac sclerite is similar to those of M. flaviventris and M. elaeniae of this group, but the male of M. similis may be separated from them by its having more setae on tergites VII–VIII and sternites IV–V, only 3 setae in each sternite II aster, and tendency for greater temple width.

Type material. Holotype female (NMNH), ex E. flavogaster, COSTA RICA: Cota Brus, Las Cruces Biological Station, 26 Jun 1993, R. L. Fisher 655. Paratypes (NMNH, TNHM, OSU, RCD), all ex E. flavogaster: COSTA RICA: 1 female, 1 male, same data as holotype; 6 females, 1 male, same except 18–21 Apr 1992, R. L. Fisher 50; 1 male, same except R. L. Fisher 96; 1 female, Alajuela, Cerro Montezuma, 4 May 1986, M. A. Marin 513; VENEZUELA: 1 female, Edo. Bolivar, 60 km E Sta. Elena, Jan 1987, R. C. Dalgleish; 4 females, 1 male, Bolivar, Hato San Jose, 4 Apr 1967, 12582; TRINIDAD: 2 females, Brazil Village, 11 Feb 1966, T. H. G. Aitken, TRVL 11312; 1 male, Naparima, Mayaro Road, 23 Jul 1968, E. S. Tikasingh, BM 1974­636; BELIZE: 3 females, 1 male, Toledo Distr., Rideau, 9 May 1979, C. Lyal & A. Hutson.
Remarks. The consistently 12 marginal metanotal setae separate the female from all others of this group. The male of Myrsidea elaeniae, with the genital sac sclerite similar to that in Fig. 12, is close to M. similis and M. flaviventris of this group. It is tenuously separable from M. similis by having fewer setae on tergites VII–VIII and sternites IV–V and from M. flaviventris by differences in tergal and sternal setae counts.

Remarks. Though this new species is based on a single pair, the female, with its highly distinctive development of the anterior abdominal tergites and the large number of tergal setae, is easily separated from all other species of this group. A few quantitative features appear to support male separation, but there is need for additional material.

Remarks. The female, with the modified anterior tergites, is closest to Myrsidea cayanensis, from which it is separable by its shorter postspiracular setae on VI–VII, a different spiculation configuration on the subgenital plate margin, 12 marginal metanotal setae, smaller dimensions, and more tergal setae on IV–VII. The male is identifiable by differences in its dimensions, quantitative chaetotaxy, and form of the genital sac sclerite.

description: Thecobathra Meyrick, 1922
Thecobathra Meyrick, 1922: 553. Type species: Thecobathra acropercna Meyrick, 1922.
Pseudocalantica Friese, 1960: 36. Type species: Niphonympha anas Stringer, 1930.
Generic characters. Head with appressed scales on frons and with long rough scales between antennae. Antenna filiform. Labial palpus smooth, third segment longer than second segment. Thorax with developed patagium in males of some species. Forewing usually white, with an ovate subhyaline patch between vein Sc and cell; 13-veined, R 1 bent at base, R 1 and R 2 free, R 3, R 4 and R 5 free or stalked, M 3 and CuA 1 approximated at base or stalked, 1A+2A forming a long basal fork, accessory cell absent. Hindwing 10-veined, M 3 and CuA 1 stalked or arising from same point.
Male genitalia: Uncus small, produced posteromedially, with deep incision in middle. Socius from slender to wide, ending in point. Gnathos fused with tuba anales, forming a subscaphium; gnathal arm obsolete; ventral plate membranous or sclerotized. Valva broad, with long hair ventrally. Sacculus relatively short, varied in shape. Saccus elongate, Y-shaped posteriorly in most species. Aedeagus with one or two rows of distinct teeth; cornuti present.
Female genitalia:Apophyses posteriores much longer than apophyses anteriores; apophyses anteriores branched basally. Ostium bursae widely open. Antrum heavily sclerotized. Ductus bursae partly sclerotized. Corpus bursae membranous; signum usually a narrow plate with large lateral flange at each side.
Diagnosis. Thecobathra is similar to Niphonympha Meyrick, 1914 in having a white-grounded forewing. It can be distinguished by the forewing with R 1 bent at base, the saccus usually Y-shaped posteriorly, and the aedeagus with one or two rows of teeth. In Niphonympha, R 1 is almost straight, the rod-shaped saccus is not well divided posteriorly, and the aedeagus is absent of rows of teeth.

Hindwing pale grey, tinged with pale yellow, darkened distally; fringe white at base of costal margin and dorsum, grey around apex and along termen. Legs white, with dark brown scales; spurs and tarsi mixed with yellowish brown; hind tibia terminally with a black dot on outer surface.
Male genitalia (Fig. 14). Uncus produced posteromedially. Socius relatively short, extending obliquely outward, with a thorn at apex. Subscaphium slender, narrowed anteriorly. Ventral plate of gnathos small, tongue-shaped, weakly sclerotized. Valva wide at base, narrowed to obtusely rounded apex; costa narrow, banded, convex near base; dorsoproximal process quadrate; inner process elongate, gradually narrowed toward tip; basal plate triangular, extending from inner corner of dorsoproximal process to below basal 1/6 of costa. Sacculus small, triangular. Saccus with posterior 1/3 V-shaped, anterior 2/3 rod-shaped, slightly narrowed to obtusely rounded apex. Aedeagus 1.2 times length of saccus, with two large teeth near base, with a row of many small teeth from beyond second large teeth to apex.
Female unknown.
Distribution. China (Yunnan).
Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin magni - and dentalis, referring to the two large teeth near the base of the aedeagus.

Diagnosis. Thecobathra nakaoi is characterized by the subtradrate dorsoproximal process of the valva with a sclerotized slender fold extending along its ventral margin and then along the dorsal margin of the sacculus, and the aedeagus with one large tooth at basal 1/3 (Moriuti 1965: 9, fig. 4).
Description. Adult. Wingspan 16.0‒18.0 mm.
Female genitalia (Fig.29).Apophyses posteriores2.5 times length of apophyses anteriores.Lamella postvaginalis composed of paired, widely remote, banded projections, narrowly connected at middle. Ostium bursae extremely broad. Antrum heavily sclerotized, funnel-shaped, with a longitudinal sclerotized medial fold branched anteriorly. Ductus bursae parallel-sided, about 1.5 times length of corpus bursae, posterior part sclerotized. Corpus bursae large, rounded; signum slender; lateral flange thorn-shaped.
Distribution. China (Xizang), Nepal.
Note. This species is newly recorded for China, and the female is described for the first time.
