Thorax whitish ochreous mixed fulvous. Abdomen pale fuscous; hair pencils arising from between segments 6 & 7, and at the base of the genitalia.
Forewing with costa arched; basal two-thirds of costa brown; base brownish; subbasal fascia white, narrow; antemedian fascia orange; median area fairly evenly scattered with brown scales; first strigula white, second strigula white in costal half, leaden dorsally, edged on both sides fuscous; tornal spot leaden.
Hindwing with base white mixed pale fuscous; tornus silver-grey, preceded by yellow streak from hind margin halfway to base; antemedian fascia white, edged brown; lunule yellow; median area evenly scaled dark brown; five eye-spots separated by silver studs, narrowly surrounded with yellow; a clear white submarginal band.
Foreleg of male with dense blackish brown scales on first and second tarsi; remainder of legs pale straw.
Tympanal organs (fig. 36) Venulae strong, divergent.
Male genitalia (fig. 58) Hair pencils about twice length of 7th segment. Uncus twice length of gnathos; valva spatulate, length about 8 times width. Aedeagus with a small cornutus.
Female genitalia (fig. 81) Ductus bursae fairly short; corpus bursae with sclerotised spinose patch extending for four-fifths of its length, the remaining one-fifth at the anterior end is narrower.
Material examined. Holotype ♂ Papua New Guinea | Southern Higlands| Tari, 5300ft | 10.i.1986 |D.J.L. Agassiz. and 3 paratypes (1♀, 2 ♂♂) same locality, 3–5.i.1986. BMNH Pyralidae slides Nos 23116, 23117.
Diagnosis. This species is similar to N. nigristriata, but has broader forewings with a more arched costa. The males are readily distinguished by the presence of hair pencils.
Derivation. after Mr Ben Probert, former Kiap of the Southern Highlands, who gave assistance.
Distribution. Known only from the type locality, Tari, Southern Highlands, Papua New Guinea.

Description. Antenna grey-beige, bipectinate from base to halfway along length, distal half filiform. Length of fore wing 13–22 mm. Low-contrast wavy pattern on forewings is typical. Expressed portion of reticulated black pattern on border of R4, R5 with RM-cell. Black trapezoidal spot at base of fore wing. Hind wings lighter than fore wings, wavy pattern less expressed.
Male genitalia. Uncus triangle, slightly elongated apically; gnathos arms ribbon-like, thin; gnathos reduced; valve apically rounded, costal edge relatively smooth; juxta with two leaf-like lateral processes directed dorsally; saccus robust, elongated, tapered, apically rounded; phallus thin, longer than valve, slightly thickened basally, vesica with thin belt-shaped cornutus.
Diagnosis. Externally, the genus is most similar to Psychonoctua Grote, 1865 (Figs. 10, 16), but differs by the thin, long phallus and the long tapered saccus.
Distribution. USA (Texas), Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador.

Nymphicula tariensis

description: Nymphicula tariensis sp. n.
Description of imago (fig. 19). Wingspan 12–13mm. Head ochreous white; labial palpus terminal segment longer than second, ochreous mixed fuscous; second segment fuscous; antenna pale fuscous. Thorax pale straw.
Forewing base fuscous mixed ochreous; subbasal fascia broad, white, suffused ochreous towards outer edge; antemedian fascia narrow, irregular, brown outwardly edged whitish; median zone fairly evenly scaled dark brown, clearly bounded by a curved line, some dark brown scaling between this and costa; first strigula white, indistinct; second strigula clearly edged fuscous, especially on outside, lower third leaden; terminal area yellow; curved tornal spot leaden, narrowly separated from median zone; terminal line broken, fuscous cilia similarly interrupted, white above tornus.
Hindwing base fuscous; subbasal fascia broad, white; antemedian fascia fuscous joining silver metallic spot on dorsum and enclosing whitish discal spot; median zone with dark brown scales fairly evenly spread but tending to be arranged in radial streaks; subterminal line pale fuscous, often obsolete in terminal half of wing; five eye-spots joined by shining grey studs around which some yellow suffusion; terminal cilia fuscous. Abdomen and legs pale straw; forelegs with tibia and first tarsus fuscous above, tarsi of ♂ thickened with dense scales.
Tympanal organs (fig. 45): Venulae secundae evenly curved, divergent; venula media very short; tympanus with lobe extended anteriorly.
Male genitalia (fig. 66): Abdomen with hair pencils just over half length of abdomen. Valva simple, slender, parallel sided, length 5x width; gnathos les than half uncus.

Quedius

description: Quedius sp.
Material examined: Kazakhstan: 1 ♀, Altai Mountains, Kholzun Ridge, 15 km SSW Karagai, Karagai River valley, 1750–1850 m, 15°20’ N, 84°59’ E, 20.VI.2012, R.Yu. Dudko leg. (ZIN).
Although sharing typical morphological adaptations to hypogean environment, this female specimen is clearly different from Q. repentinus and Q. roma, as well as from both the Q. przewalskii and the Q. mutilatus species groups. Unlike any of them, it has only two shallow and hardly visible punctures (the third, basalmost puncture absent) in the dorsal rows of the pronotum, only one puncture in the sublateral row, a dense row of rather large setae along the basal margin of the pronotum, and parallel-sided elytra with a nearly right sutural angle (as opposed to posteriorly diverging elytra with a blunt sutural angle in the other species) (Fig. 5). Obviously this specimen represents a species new to science. However, its formal description is postponed until male specimens become available.

Hyperomyzus niger

description: Hyperomyzus (Neonasonovia) niger (Baker (J.M.), 1934)
Amphorophora nigra was described by Baker (J.M.) (1934: 216) and was transferred to Neonasonovia, when this taxon had genus rank, by Hille Ris Lambers (1974: 133) and finally to Hyperomyzus (in the subgenus Neonasonovia) by Eastop & Hille Ris Lambers (1976: 121). Apterous viviparous females were the only morph described; they were extensively redescribed by Hille Ris Lambers (1974). They have smooth swollen part of siphunculi. Its host plant genus is Stevia (Asteraceae). The species is known from Morelos and Sinaloa (Mexico). Studied specimens. Mexico: Durango, Tepehuanes, on Stevia sp., 12-X-1980, 1 al; Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, on unidentified Asteraceae, on Stevia sp. and on Stevia viscida, 7-X-1980, respectively 4 apt, 20 apt & 2 al, and 16 apt & 2 al; Hidalgo, Pachuca, on Stevia sp., 1-X-1980; all of them Remaudière leg. & det., and Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle collection.
Apterous viviparous females (Figure 4 A), complementary data. The studied specimens usually have small marginal tubercles on prothorax, on abdominal segments 3 to 5 and sometimes on segment 2, and usually exhibit smoother siphunculi.
Alate viviparous females (Figure 4 B), description from 4 specimens. Head brown to dark brown, like thorax. Antennae brown to dark brown; segments I and II with scales and other segments imbricated. Most part of legs as dark as antennae (only coxae, trochanters and most proximal part of femora paler). Marginal tubercles on prothorax and abdomen like apterae. Abdominal segments 2 to 6 with marginal sclerites that are paler than the intersegmental and spiracular sclerites, and segments 7 and 8 with individual transverse bands. Siphunculi as dark as femora, with wrinkled peduncle and smooth swollen part to the apex. Genital plate as dark as siphunculi, and darker than anal plate and cauda, which is relatively slender. Quantitative characteristics in table 2.
Comments. The previously known distribution of the species is extended to three other Mexican states: Durango, which is a northern state east of Sinaloa, and Guanajuato and Hidalgo, which are located in central Mexico, in proximity to Morelos.
