Pegomya furva

description: The Pegomya furva species group
This species group includes only two species, Pegomya furva Ringdahl and P. circumpolaris Ackland & Griffiths, both with Holarctic and extensively overlapping distributions. They are poorly differentiated morphologically and were only recently recognized as two species based on small differences in the male terminalia.
Species of the Pegomya furva species group may be separated from the very similar species of the Pegomya fulgens species group as follows: Aristal pubescence shorter in both sexes, no longer than greatest basal diameter of arista; male sternite V (Figs 13‒15) different, more resembling that of the Pegomya tabida species group (Figs 28‒36); male hind femur without a pv seta on middle third; female mid and hind tarsi with dense ventral sensilla widened at tips (Fig. 5); and oviscapt shorter (Fig. 66). Females as a rule with pair of interfrontal setae fully developed.

Pegomya tabida

description: The Pegomya tabida species group
Males. Abdomen slender, depressed except for notably thickened caudal segments. Externally characterized by the large sternite V in which each posterior lobe consists of an obtuse outer expansion and a projecting inner lamella separated distally by a membranous incision. The slender cerci and surstyli and the slender and elongated postgonite and phallus are highly diagnostic, but require dissection.
Females. Mid and hind tarsi without the dense ventral clothing of sensilla seen in females of the Pegomya fulgens and P. f u r v a species groups. Interfrontal pair of setae often weakly developed or even absent. Oviscapt of same length as preabdomen or decidedly longer, always very slender distal to segment VII. Membranous parts smooth on segments VI and VII, but covered in fine scales on anterior half of segment VIII; hind marginal setae shortened on segment VII and reduced to tiny setulae on segment VIII, making them almost indiscernible from the sensilla generally present at hind margin of the paired sternite VIII. Tergite VIII roof-shaped and more or less angularly pointed at hind margin. Epiproct triangular, more or less acutely pointed, depending on shape of the cerci. Hypoproct more or less reduced, without usual cuticular pile and with only 2‒4 fine setae confined to apical margin. Cerci small, apically slightly projecting, obtuse to moderately pointed, and in a few species (P. notabilis, P. vittigera, P. incisiva) forming a cutting edge.

Pegomya tenera (Zetterstedt). Michelsen 1985: 57, figs 1‒6. Ståhls et al. 1989: 105.
Description. Very similar to P. zonata but different as follows: Size. Smaller, wing length 5.0‒5.4 mm (n=6). Male. Palp more extensively darkened on distal half. Yellow mid and hind femora more conspicuously darkened on apical quarter to apical third. Terminalia (Figs 29, 38, 47, 56): Sternite V with downward projecting inner lamella smaller; surstyli less angular and apically slenderer in profile view; postgonite with anterior expansion lying immediately distal to insertion of enlarged seta, not on distal quarter as seen in P. zonata; epiphallus without peculiar basal expansion seen in P. zonata. Female. Scape and pedicel fuscous ochre brown. Palp yellow basally, dark on distal half. All femora dorsally on distal fifth with a distinct dark mark. Oviscapt shorter and with bigger sternite VIII pieces, in good agreement with description given for P. scapularis.

Ptilothyris climacista

description: 3. Ptilothyris climacista Meyrick, 1926
(Figs. 6 A–E)
Ptilothyris climacista Meyrick, 1926: 289. TL: Cameroon. [NHMUK]
Diagnosis. Female (Figs. 6 A–E). Forewing length 9.0 mm. The wing pattern of P. climacista is superficially similar to P. purpurea Walsingham or P. porphyrea Ghesquière, but it can be distinguished by having a semi-ovate, pale orange patch on the forewing, and the hind wing with a similar semi-transparent patch as in P. serangota Meyrick, but the color is pale orange, not white. The species was described based on a single female.
Female genitalia. Dissection of the genitalia of the type in NHMUK could not be prepared, so the genitalia could not be illustrated.
Material examined. [NHMUK]: 1♀ (holotype) (Figs. 6A, B), with the same label data as the type recorded in the original description, “ Cameroon, Bitje, Ja River, Oct. Wet season, G.L Bates.” This specimen also has two additional labels as “ Ptilothyris climacista Meyr. 2/1, E. Meyrick det., In Meyrick Coll”, and “Meyrick Coll. B.M. 1938-290.”
Distribution. Cameroon.
Remarks. In NHMUK, five more specimens, except one specimen (Fig. 6 E-1) which is certainly a misidentification of P. serangota Meyrick, are placed under the name Ptilothyris climacista Meyr (Fig. 6E). One specimen (Fig. 6C) of this series bearing a red tag has four labels (Fig. 6D) as “Afriq. Occid. Johann-Albrechts Höhe Station-Kamerun, L. Conradt, 1896”, “Paravicini Coll. B. M. 1937-383”, “ Ptilothyris climacista Meyr., M 456-157”. Although a red label or tag usually indicates a holotype, it is confirmed that the holotype of P. climacista Meyrick is certainly the specimen in Fig. 6A. It is unfortunate that assigning the rest to this species or even to the genus Ptilothyris could not be done without examining the male genitalia. A further study is needed for the generic placement of this species.

(Figs. 16 A–G)
Ptilothyris crossoceros Meyrick, 1934: 452. TL: Tanzania. [NHMW]
Diagnosis. Male (Figs. 16 A–C). Forewing length 12 mm. Ptilothyris crossoceros can be distinguished from other known species of the genus by the color pattern of both wings and the dorsally pale orange antenna: forewing with a more or less triangular pale orange patch medially on inner margin; hind wing fuscous, with large, deep orange in basal half, occupying from basal 1/5 to 3/5 above anal veins; the basal plate of gnathos in male genitalia convex caudally and not trifurcate.
Male genitalia (Figs. 16 D–G). Uncus slightly convex on caudal margin. Basal plate of gnathos strongly convex on caudal margin, forming a large, fan-shaped plate and much more exceeding the apex of uncus caudally. Valva slightly convex basally along costa, ventral margin nearly straight; cucullus elongate, with nearly straight costal margin, outer margin oblique; apex rounded. Juxta ventral plate rather short; dorsal plate banded with triangular ends laterally; a vertical flap on ventral surface near base. Vinculum banded, narrow, heavily sclerotized. Phallus slender, much shorter than valva; cornutus absent or fallen away.

description: Non-adiabatic processes near conical intersections are rooted in the stronger coupling between electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom. Using a system of two trapped Rydberg ions, their high polarizability and strong dipolar interactions allow to form a conical intersection, where dynamics takes place on a microsecond time scale. Rydberg lifetimes are typically from a few to tens of microseconds, which could affect the conical dynamics. We study the effect of the finite lifetime of the Rydberg state on the vibronic dynamics around the conical intersection via analyzing the master equation. Through mean field and numerical calculations, damping dynamics are found in both the phonon populations and electronic states depending on the initial states. It is found that oscillatory vibronic dynamics can be seen clearly within the Rydberg lifetime, permitting to observe the conical effect in the trapped Rydberg ion system.

description: Ptychocroca apenicillia Brown and Razowski, new species
Figs. 1, 16, 28
Diagnosis. Based on our sample (n = 26), P. apenicillia appears to be a moderately variable species in both facies and male genitalia. Although more than one species may be involved, continuous variation is present in specimens from the same locality, suggesting a single, variable species. The forewing pattern can be either well defined (with the typical black­and­white contrasting pattern) or variably obscured with gray overscaling, and the venter of the valva can be weakly to moderately sinuate. The latter may be partially an artifact of slide mounting. Males of P. apenicillia are distinguished from males of congeners by the absence of the hindwing hairpencil.
Description. Male forewing (Fig. 28) without tuft of upraised scales at base of costa. Male hindwing without hairpencil in fold of vein CuP, but with small patch of cream scales adjacent to vein. Male genitalia (Fig. 1) with uncus, socii, and gnathos as described for the genus. Transtilla with moderate medial lobe. Valva widest near middle immediately beyond distinct rounded excavation near mid­venter, triangular in distal 0.33; ventral margin variably undulate. Aedeagus as described for genus; vesica with larger cornuti near middle and smaller cornuti in distal 0.25. Female genitalia (Fig. 16) with sterigma bearing large, dorsally rounded, mesal portion, strongly sclerotized along dorsal edge; invaginated, membranous area anterad of sterigma with a pair of shallow, sublateral, V­shaped pockets; antrum well defined, with narrow split ventrally and patch of irregular sclerotization in anterior portion.

Coquimbo, 1 Jul–19 Oct 1883 (2ɗ), Walker (BMNH). Santiago Province: Santiago, 28 Feb 1987 (1Ψ), R. L. Zuparko (UCB).
Distribution and biology. Ptychocroca apenicillia is known only from Aconcagua and Santiago provinces in Chile. Nothing is known of the early stages. The capture of two males from “ 1 July–19 Oct ” is somewhat unusual for the genus, as most species appear to fly from November to February.
Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the absence of the hindwing hairpencil.

Ptilothyris aglaocrossa Meyrick, 1935: 564. TL: DR Congo. [RMCA]
Diagnosis. Male (Figs. 17 A–C). Forewing length 10.0–11.0 mm. The forewing of P. aglaocrossa is not remarkably elongated as other species of the genus and strongly oblique from 3/4 of costa, and it is characterized by having a small, orange costal patch near 3/4 of costa on forewing and pale orange fringes along inner margin in hind wing. The uncus in male genitalia is gently convex and the basal plate of gnathos is triangularly convex on caudal margin. Male genitalia (Figs. 17 D–G). Uncus broadened, forming a large, fan-shaped plate, gently convex on caudal margin. Basal plate of gnathos triangularly convex medially on caudal margin and much more exceeding the apex of uncus caudally. Valva slightly expanded near base on costa, ventral margin nearly straight; cucullus elongate, slightly concave on costal margin and gently rounded on outer margin; tip not smoothly curved. Ventral plate of juxta large, with oblique caudal margin, not bifurcate; dorsal plate with large, irregular pentagons laterally. Vinculum banded, narrow, heavily sclerotized. Phallus slender, slightly shorter than valva, dorsal margin sharply pointed apically; cornuti consisting of rows of minute spinules in apical 1/3 (Fig. 17G). The hair pencils in abdominal segment VIII relatively short (Fig. 17H).

Ptilothyris loxocasis Meyrick, 1938: 17. TL: DR Congo. [RMCA].
Diagnosis. Male (Figs. 18A, B). Ptilothyris loxocasis has superficially a little different characters from its allies of the genus Ptilothyris, by having the forewing more or less short with an oblique, broad, orange-white fascia medially, and the antenna not distinctly pectinate. However, the male genitalia dissected from the type in the RMCA matches well to those of the genus.
Male genitalia (Figs. 18C, D). Uncus broadened caudally with a median protrusion. Basal plate of gnathos with broadly developed median lobe and small lateral lobes; median process large, strongly curved beyond 2/3. Juxta large, with slender, digitate process on anterior margin, lacking caudal lobes. Phallus slender, shorter than valve, apically extending dorsal margin heavily sclerotized, with round apex; cornuti consisting of two short lows of spines in apical area.
Material examined. [RMCA]: 1♂ (lectotype hereby designated), DR Congo, TYPE, Pt. loxocasis M.; Ex- Typis; P 149; R DET. 4080 N; MUSÉE DU CONGO, Burunga (2000), W.

(Fig. 18F)
Ptilothyris nausicaa Meyrick, 1926: 288. TL: Congo Belg. [NHMUK].
Diagnosis. Male (Fig. 18F). Ptilothyris nausicaa is superficially similar to the Thubdora species in having less elongate forewing with rounded outer margin. On the other hand, the antenna of this species is dark purple basally and matches well with Ptilothyris. The antennae of the holotype are both broken beyond middle, but, according to the original description, the apical third is white.

Ptilothyris neuroplaca Meyrick, 1933: 359 (Idiopteryx). TL: Congo, Belg. [NHMUK].
Diagnosis. Female (Figs. 19A, B). Forewing length 9.0 mm. Ptilothyris neuroplaca is distinguished from other members of the genus by the pale-orange head and the same ground color of the forewing. The forewing has two, dark-fuscous, transverse streaks, one at base, the other as a wide postmedian fascia; outer streak 2/5 the length of forewing in width, with pale-orange branched lines, and the hind wing ground color is dark brown, with orangewhite vertical streak preapically on costa.
Female genitalia (Figs. 19 C–E). See also Clarke, 1965: pl. 107, Figs. 1–1c. Abdominal sternite VIII broadly and shortly emarginated, with more or less triangular lateral lobes. Apophyses anteriores long, about 2/3 the length of apophyses posteriores. Lamella antevaginalis large, isosceles trapezoidal, weakly sclerotized. Ductus bursae narrow, long, about three times the length of corpus bursae; ductus seminalis arising from near middle. Corpus bursae ovate; signum large, roundish, as wide as long.
Material examined. [NHMUK]: 1♀ (holotype), Zambia, N. Rhodesia, Congo-Zambesi watershed, 1918, leg. H. S. Evans, gen. slide no. BM-9135/Clarke.
Distribution. Zambia.
Remarks. Even though the wing color pattern of this species is exceptionally different from other members of the genus, the female genitalia have a prolonged hood-shaped signum which is a common character of the genus Ptilothyris.

Figs. 2, 17, 29
Diagnosis. Males of P. nigropenicillia can be distinguished from their congeners by the gray­black patch of sex scales on each side of hindwing vein CuP. The male genitalia are similar to those of P. apenicillia, with a somewhat undulate ventral edge of the valva, but the apex of the valva is less attenuate.
Description. Male forewing (Fig. 29) without patch of upraised scales near base of costa. Male hindwing with hairpencil concealed in fold of vein CuP, with patch of grayblack scales on each side of vein adjacent to haripencil. Male genitalia (Fig. 2) with uncus, socii, and gnathos as described for the genus. Transtilla with large median lobe.

Ptychocroca lineabasalis

description: Ptychocroca lineabasalis Brown and Razowski, new species
Figs. 4, 19, 31
Diagnosis. The male genitalia of Ptychocroca lineabasalis are most similar to those of P. keelioides in the overall shape of valva. They can be distinguished from the latter by the absence of the subdistal keel of the aedeagus.
Description. Male forewing (Fig. 31) without patch of upraised scales at base of costa. Male hindwing with hairpencil concealed in fold of vein CuP, with a patch of beige­orange scales on each side of vein adjacent to haripencil. Male genitalia (Fig. 4) with uncus, socii, and gnathos as described for the genus. Transtilla with moderately small mesal fold. Valva broadest basally, venter nearly straight in basal 0.25, followed by short, distinct ventrocaudal convexity; disc of valva without comb; plicate area large. Aedeagus as described for genus, infrequently with dorso­median spines; vesica with cornuti forming a single row. Female genitalia (Fig. 19) with sterigma fairly long, bearing rounded sclerotized lobe at middle immediately posterad of ostium; a pair of slender, membranous, V­shaped pockets laterally; sclerite in colliculum situated laterally, adjacent to a second medially situated sclerite.

description: Ptychocroca simplex Brown and Razowski, new species
Fig. 7, 35
Diagnosis. The male of P. s i m p l e x is superficially most similar to those of P. crocoptycha and P. galenia; all three species have a tuft of erect scales near the base of the costa of the forewing, and a patch of dense beige­orange scales on each side of the pouch concealing the hairpencil in the hindwing. The male genitalia of P. s i m p l e x can be distinguished from those of P. galenia and P. crocoptycha by the absence of the conspicuous thorn from the venter of the valva about 0.4 the distance from the base to the apex of the valva and the shorter, stouter valva.
Description. Male forewing (Fig. 35) with tuft of upraised scales near base of costa. Male hindwing with hairpencil in fold of vein CuP, with patch of dense beige­orange scales on each side of pouch. Male genitalia (Fig. 7) with uncus, socii, and gnathos as described for the genus. Transtilla with mesal fold well developed. Valva moderately broad throughout basal portion; rounded concavity between angular termination of sacculus and ventro­caudal convexity relatively weak; comb of the disc rudimentary; region of plication small. Aedeagus similar to congeners; vesica with patches of cornuti more limited than in congeners. Female genitalia unknown.

Ptychocroca wilkinsoni

description: Ptychocroca wilkinsoni (Butler), new combination
Diagnosis. In general facies, the holotype of P. wilkinsoni (BMNH) looks most like P. nigropenicillia, however, it has a slightly greater forewing length. The identity of P. wilkinsoni is enigmatic because the holotype lacks the abdomen and the hindwings are in poor condition.
Redescription. Male forewing without tuft of erect scales near base of costa. Male hindwing without hairpencil in fold of vein CuP. Male genitalia unknown (abdomen missing). Female genitalia unknown.
Holotype ɗ, Chile, Valparaiso, Nov–Dec 1881, T. Edmondo (BMNH).
Remarks. Based entirely on external features, Brown (1989) transferred this species provisionally to Bonagota, where it remained (Powell et al. 1995, Razowski 1999c, Razowski and Becker 2000); however, Bonagota, Apotomops, and Ptychocroca are extremely similar in facies. Because the hindwing of the single specimen (holotype) is slightly damaged, the presence of male secondary characters is not clear. It is possible that this species is conspecific with one of the species of Ptychocroca we describe above; however, we have no evidence of which one. Although P. s i m p l e x has the same type locality as P. wilkinsoni (Valparaiso, Chile), the former has a conspicuous tuft of erect scales on the costa of the forewing which is lacking in P. w i l k i n s o n i. Alternatively, P. wilkinsoni may belong in Bonagota. Because we have seen no specimens of the latter genus from Chile where Ptychocroca is widespread and abundant, we suspect that P. wilkinsoni is placed more appropriately in Ptychocroca.

Acleris; Clarke, 1958: 3 (in part) (illustration of adult and male genitalia of acmanthes). Haemateulia; Razowski, 1999c: 72 (in part) (illustration of male genitalia of acmanthes). Acmanthina Brown, 2000b: 106 (illustration of adults and male genitalia of acmanthes and
albipuncta).
Type species: Peronea acmanthes Meyrick, 1931 a, by original designation.
Diagnosis. Acmanthina includes two species, A. acmanthes (Meyrick) and A. albipuncta Brown, both of which are recorded from Chile and Argentina. Adults are moderately small, with a dark forewing bearing variable white patch(es) and/or band(s), superficially most similar to some species of Apotomops and Bonagota (see Brown 2000b for photographs of adults). Males can be distinguished from those of related genera by the absence of the fine, elongate scales along the basal portions of hindwing veins CuP and 1A+2A, the possession of a long, slender hairpencil of setiform scales concealed in a deep fold of hindwing vein CuP, and the deeply excavated mesal portion of the juxta, all of which are interpreted as synapomorphies for the two included species (A. acmanthes and A. albipuncta Brown). Male genitalia are illustrated in Figs. 12 and 13. Females of Acmanthina lack the accessory pouch from the ductus bursae that is present in Bonagota and Apotomops (Fig. 24).
The hindwing hairpencil consists of a fascicle of 20–24 long, fine, slender, setiform scales, unlike the distally spatulate scales of the hairpencil of male Ptychocroca.

Haemateulia Razowski, 1999c: 70; Brown, 2000b: 110; Brown and McPherson, 2002: 137; Razowski and Gonzalez, 2003: 61.
Type species: Eulia haematitis Meyrick, 1931, by original designation.
Diagnosis. Razowski (1999c) initially included three species in Haemateulia: haematitis (Meyrick), galenia Razowski, and acmanthes (Meyrick). Brown (2000b) transferred acmanthes to Acmanthina, and above we transferred galenia to Ptychocroca. As defined herein, Haemateulia consists of H. haematitis (Meyrick) and H. barrigana Razowski and González. Male genitalia of the two are characterized by a moderately short uncus, long, broad socii (extending beyond the gnathos tip), a rounded­rectangular valva, and a long, slender, curved aedeagus without cornuti (Figs. 10, 11). A short process subdistally from the venter of the gnathos arms and a moderately large, rectangular membranous region at the base of the valva appear to represent synapomorphies for the genus. Males of the two species are easily distinguished by the shape of the antenna (strongly serrate in H. haematitis and simple in H. barrigana), the weakly undulate venter and costa of the valva in H. haematitis (both of which are nearly evenly curved in H. barrigana), and the finely setose sacculus of H. haematitis (smooth in H. barrigana). Females are characterized by a broad, evenly sclerotized plate surrounding the ostium and a deep notch at the posterior edge of tergum 8, both of which appear to represent synapomorphies for the genus (Figs. 22, 23).

Haemateulia barrigana Razowski and González, 2003: 61.
Diagnosis. As mentioned above, males of H. barrigana can be distinguished from those of H. haematitis by the absence of the distinctly serrate antenna, the longer valva with a naked sacculus, and a weakly dilated apex of the uncus. Males of H. barrigana are variable in forewing maculation — one form is virtually indistinguishable from H. haematitis, with a dark forewing bearing limited pattern elements. Another form (Fig. 38) has a distinct forewing pattern that includes a pale red­brown basal patch, followed by a region of pale scaling, with the distal 0.5 of the wing dark red­brown. We take this opportunity to provide additional records of this species.

description: APOTOMOPS Powell and Obraztsov, 1986
Apotomops Powell and Obraztsov, in Powell 1986: 396; Brown, 1989: 320; Brown and Powell, 1991: 4; Brown, 2000b: 108; Razowski and Becker, 2000: 75.
Type species: Olethreutes wellingtoniana Kearfott, 1907, by original designation.
Diagnosis. Apotomops is superficially and genitalically most similar to Bonagota. Although the relationship between them is not entirely resolved, the two appear to represent monophyletic sister groups. Under present concepts, Apotomops can be defined by the reduced socii that are mostly fused to the tegumen, the development of teeth along the dorsal edge of the sacculus, and the reduced cilia and rounded aspect of the male antennal flagellomeres. Powell (1986) included two species in the genus: A. wellingtoniana (Kearfott) and A. texasana (Blanchard and Knudson). We add A. carchicola (Razowski and Becker), new combination, A. sololana (Razowski), new combination, A. boliviana, new species, and A. spomotopa, new species. Although all species of Apotomops and Bonagota are similar in facies, A. wellingtoniana and A. texasana are most similar to each other superficially, while A. carchicola and A. boliviana are more similar to species of Bonagota.
Distribution. Apotomops is one of very few genera in Euliini that occurs north of Mexico (e.g., Eulia Linnaeus, Dorithia Powell, Anopina Obraztsov). Apotomops wellingtoniana occurs across Canada from British Columbia (type locality) to Nova Scotia (USNM), and south through the Rocky Mountains to the Mexican states of Durango (UCB), Nuevo Leon, Distrito Federal, and Veracruz (Razowski and Becker 2000). In eastern North America, it ranges as far south as the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee (USNM). It is possible that specimens from Mexico are not conspecific with northern A. wellingtoniana, but we could find no characters to convincingly separate the two. Apotomops texasana is known only from Texas; A. carchicola and A. sololana are known only from Ecuador; A. boliviana is known only from Bolivia; and A. spomotopa is known only from Peru.

Diagnosis. Apotomops spomotopa is superficially similar to other species of Apotomops. The male genitalia are most similar to those of A. carchicola, but can be distinguished by the shorter, broader digitate process at the distal end of the aedeagus.
Description. Head: White scaled; antennal flagellomeres somewhat rounded, male with extremely short cilia. Thorax: Forewing (Fig. 40) length 7.5 mm in male, 10.0 mm in female; ground color white, faintly mottled with gray overscaling in distal 0.5; slender black oblique bar from costa ca. 0.15 distance from base to apex; small semicircular blotch near middle of costa; dorsal half of basal half of forewing blackish brown, with scaling extending nearly to costal blotch, isolating a subrectangular white patch in basal 0.5; hindwing white, pale beige in apical region, lacking male secondary structures. Abdomen: Male genitalia (Fig. 15) with uncus short, stout, somewhat spindle­shaped; socii short, relatively broad; gnathos unmodified, with long distal process at junction of arms; transtilla a simple bridge, slightly folded at middle; valva uniform in width, arched dorsally throughout, rounded apically, sacculus with irregular row of spines along dorsal edge; aedeagus complex, with a stout curved spine from near phallobase. Female genitalia (Fig. 26) with papillae anales simple; sterigma a large rounded pocket; ductus bursae short, broad, with large complex accessory bursa; corpus bursae round­oblong, with extremely faint spiculae.
