Phalonidia coreana View in CoL sp. nov.

( Figures 8–12 View Figure 8 View Figures 9–12 )

Type

Holotype: male, Mt Juwang-san , GB, Korea, 18 August 1993, K. T. Park, B. K. Byun, Genitalia slide no. KNA-3640, in KNA . Paratype: female, Pyongchang, GW, Korea, 31 July 1991, B. K. Byun, Genitalia slide no. KNA-2721, in KNA .

Diagnosis

The new species can be easily distinguished from the species of Gynnidomorpha by broad basal patch of forewing and long corpus bursae of female genitalia which is indistinguishable from ductus bursae.

Description

Wing υenation ( Figure 8 View Figure 8 ). Forewing venation with R 1 and R 2 distant at base and parallel; R 3 and R 4 parallel towards costa; R 4 and R 5 closely approximated at base; R 4 towards end at five-sixths of costa and R 5 emerged to costa just before apex; R 5 and M 1 stalked; M 3 closer to Cu 1 than M 2; Cu 2 arising beyond two-thirds of cell. Hindwing venation with Rs and M 1 stalked; M 3 and Cu 1 separated; Cu 2 originated from two-thirds of cell; 1A+2A reaching to basal one-third of dorsum. Different from Gynnidomorpha Turner by the following: vein R 5 in forewing emerged to apex or termen, and R 5 and M 1 not stalked.

Adult ( Figure 9 View Figures 9–12 ). Wingspan 14 mm in male and female. Vertex covered by strongly appressed scales. Labial palpus long; second segment expanded, dilated towards terminal portion; terminal segment very short and thin. Wing pattern with ground colour dark brown; basal patch dark yellow, distinct, well developed, covering nearly two-fifths of forewing; two small dark yellow spots located on middle of tornus; median and sub-terminal fasciae concolorous with ground colour, but with distinct outlines. Hindwing dark grey.

Male genitalia ( Figures 10, 11 View Figures 9–12 ). Tegumen short, rounded at dorsum. Socii short, broad, rounded at apex. Transtilla appressed laterally, a slender and long posterior medial process present with apex bifurcate shortly. Juxta broad, somewhat pentagonal. Valva rather broad basally, sub-rectangular, extremely narrowed at distal one-third; sacculus well developed, ventral margin with a pointed apex. Aedeagus large, long and thick, attenuate towards posterior end, with long and prominent cornutus.

Female genitalia ( Figure 12 View Figures 9–12 ). Papillae analis narrow laterally. Apophysis anterioris weakly thickened, longer than apophyes posterioris. Ostium bursae strongly sclerotized, large, rounded laterally, with a wide opening. Ductus bursae indistinguishable from corpus bursae. Corpus bursae very long, slightly twisted at distal one-third, then curved again at sub-ventral portion; minutely plicated parts well developed at basal one-quarter and threequarters, respectively. Signum absent.

Distribution

Korea (GW, GB).

Etymology

The specific name refers to the country name of the holotype locality.

Phalonidia aliena Kuznetsov, 1966 View in CoL

Phalonia aliena Kuznetsov 1966, p 200 , Figures 21a, b, 22. TL: Russia (Primorsky Krai, Vladivostok, Okeanskaya Biological Station).

Diagnosis

Wingspan 11 mm in male, 14 mm in female. This species can be recognized by the blackish brown median fascia and subapical spot.

Diagnosis
