Micronola borneola sp. n.
( Figs 1, 2 View FIGURES 1-8 , 13, 18a, 19 View FIGURES 13–20. 13–17 )
Type materials. Holotype: female, Malaysia, Borneo, Sabah, Jungle Girl Camp , 20–25.viii.2016, legs. H.L. Han & H. Geng, genit. prep. hhl-3642-2, coll. NEFU . Paratype: 1 female with same data as holotype, genit. prep. hhl-3607-2, coll. NEFU .
Diagnosis. Superficially M. borneola is similar to M. wadicola ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1-8 ) but differs by broader forewing and light reddish-brown ground color (in M. wadicola the forewings narrower and smoky grey); basal line dark brown (in M. wadicola black); the antemedial line broad, smoothly excurved and dark brown (in M. wadicola it is slender, slightly wave and black); the postmedial line waved (in M. wadicola it is straight); the subterminal line strongly waved (in M. wadicola smoothly waved); the terminal line formed by black and yellow border line (in M. wadicola the border line is black); the margin of tornal part of hindwing straight (in M. wadicola it is smoothly arched). In the female genitalia of M. borneola , inter-lobal round patch small and narrow (in M. wadicola it is big and broad ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 13–20. 13–17 ); the apophysis posteriors in M. borneola are shorter and slender than apophysis anteriores (in M. wadicola apophysis posteriors longer and broader than apophysis anteriores); the ostium bursae small, cup-shaped (in M. wadicola it is narrowly conical); corpus bursae elongated (in M. wadicola it is regularly oval); the signum Ø- shaped and weakly sclerotized (in M. wadicola it is weakly cross-shaped).
Description. Adult ( Figs 1, 2 View FIGURES 1-8 ). Wingspan 10.5–11.0 mm. Head and thorax whitish grey, mixed with little yellow. Forewing reddish brown, mixed with little black; basal line dark brown, presents as spot at costal margin; antemedial line dark brown and broad, smoothly excurved; postmedial line smoothly curved, excurved at medially, black at costal area, its other part reddish brown; subterminal line weakly yellowish, waved; terminal line forms by black and yellow scales; fringe greyish brown, mixed with little yellow; reniform spot light whitish-yellow, with light blackish frame; subterminal and terminal areas darker than ground color. The ground color of hindwing same as forewing, rather uniform in color; outer margin of hindwing incurved at M 2; tornal margin rather straight; discal spot indistinct. Abdomen brownish yellow, with yellow at anterior and terminal parts.
Female genitalia ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 13–20. 13–17 ). Ovipositor quadrangular, with rounded corners. Inter-lobal round patch warhead shaped. Apophysis posteriors slender, 2/3 as long as apophysis anteriores. Ostium bursae small, cup-shaped, displaced to left. Ductus bursae long, membranous, its anterior part rather broad, 2X as long as corpus bursae. Corpus bursae elongate, oval; signum weakly Ø- shaped, heavily sclerotized anteriorly.
Male genitalia. Male unknown.
Distribution ( Fig. 18a View FIGURES 13–20. 13–17 ). Malaysia, Borneo (Sabah).
Bionomics ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 13–20. 13–17 ). The moths were collected in August in tropical rain forest at altitude 1180–1230m. Etymology. The species name refers to “Borneo”, Malaysia, the type-locality region of the new species.
