description: Hypatopa musa Adamski, new species
(Figs. 233–234, 403, Map 49)
Diagnosis.— Hypatopa musa is similar to H. rudis in facies but differs from the latter by having a slightly shorter uncus; and a wider basal part of the digitate process of the dorsal part of the valva. H. musa also has an entire ventroposterior margin of the gnathos; an inwardly curved apical process of the ventral part of the valva; a densely setose proximal flange of the dorsal part of the valva; and a widely emarginate apex of a setose anellus that are lacking in H. rudis.
Description.—Head: Vertex and frontoclypeus brownish gray. Labial palpus diminutive, within a triangularshaped depression on ventral part of frontoclypeus. Outer surface of labial palpus brownish gray, inner surface paler. Scape of antenna brownish gray intermixed with white scales along ventral and apical margins, pecten brown, flagellum brownish gray. Proboscis brownish gray.
Thorax: Scales on tegula and mesonotum brownish gray tipped with white. Legs brownish gray intermixed with pale grayish-brown scales near midsegments and apical margins of all segments and tarsomeres. Forewing (Fig. 403): Length 3.8–5.2 mm (n = 47), grayish brown intermixed with grayish-brown scales tipped with white and white scales; submedian fascia incomplete or absent; cell with two or three spots, if three, one in middle, two on apical end along crossvein; marginal spots large, faint. Undersurface brown. Hindwing: Translucent pale brown.
Abdomen: Male genitalia (Figs. 233–234): Uncus parallelsided from base, narrowly rounded apically, straight, sparsely setose, shorter than width of anal opening. Gnathos, narrow band, confluent with tegumen; ventroposterior margin entire. Sockets of tergal setae not extending beyond midlength of tegumen. Valva divided; ventral part basally protracted inwardly, broadly truncated ventrally, gradually widening to middle, narrowing to base of inwardly curved, basally hinged, apical process; process broadly curved, setose on outer surface, planate on inner surface, with slightly protuberant setose ridge at base; dorsal part with apical portion of costa extending dorsally, forming setose digitate process; process widened basally, gradually narrowing apically; basal ridge of digitate process extending ventrally fusing with broadly rounded ridgelike plate extending to lateral margin; proximal flange shallowly protuberant, contorted apically, forming two setose parts converging beneath surface, forming linear depression from near middle of margin to middle; larger part broadly elavated domelike structure on inner surface, smaller part crescent-shaped, with a crenulate margin. Juxta bandlike. Vinculum semicircular. Phallus and sclerite of phallus longer than valva; phallus bulbous basally; sclerite of phallus slightly curved basally, shallowly and subequally bifurcate apically; anellus slightly constricted beyond base gradually widening apically, setose. Female Genitalia: Unknown.
