SCOPARIA GLOBOSA LI SP. NOV.
( FIGS 1–2 View Figure 1 View Figure 2 , 3H View Figure 3 , 6A View Figure 6 , 9B View Figure 9 )
Diagnosis
Very similar to S. annulata sp. nov. in the wing pattern, but distinguished easily from S. annulata sp. nov. by characters of the genitalia: the cornuti of this species consisting of many small thorns and two spines in the male genitalia, anterior half of ductus bursae swollen to large, ball-shaped structure in the female genitalia; in S. annulata sp. nov., the cornuti composed of spines only, the ductus bursae looped before the colliculum and forming a small annular structure.
Description
Adult ( Fig. 3H View Figure 3 ): Forewing length 6.5–8.5 mm. Frons and vertex pale brown mixed with white. Patagium, thorax and tegula pale brown. Forewing suffused with blackish brown scales; antemedian line sligltly convex; antemedian stigmata and distal discoidal stigma black, tinged ochreous on inner side, ovate and 8-shaped, respectively; postmedian line meeting costa and dorsum perpendicularly, curving out at about costal onethrid, dorsal about two-thirds parallel with termen; subterminal line absent near middle, dentated outwards near dorsum; fringe white, pale brown near base. Hindwing white, suffused with pale brown along veins and apex; fringe concolorous with forewing, except lighter below base. Abdomen pale brown.
Male genitalia ( Fig. 6A View Figure 6 ): Uncus broad basally, narrowing towards blunted tip. Gnathos slender, one-quarter longer than uncus. Valva narrow near base, slightly broadening towards rounded apex; costa with small process near base, convex near middle. Sacculus convex ventrobasally and concave ventrodistally; free distal process at about two-thirds of valva. Juxta ovate. Phallus straight, slightly longer than valva; cornuti composed of many small thorns of various size and two spines.
Female genitalia ( Fig. 9B View Figure 9 ): Papillae anales threequarters as long as apophysis posterior. Tergite 8 about one-quarter as long as apophysis anterior. Antrum funnel shaped, covered with dense granules. Ductus bursae with posterior half tubular, anterior half swollen to large ball, much bigger than corpus bursae. Corpus bursae rounded, covered with dense tiny spines; signum small and stripe-like; appendix bursae ovate.
Holotype
Male: China, Sichuan, Hailuogou Glacier , near no. 1 glacier, ∼ 3000 m a.s.l., 15 August 2012, W. Li and L. Huang leg., prep. gen. no. LW12007 , DNA no. L 13040 ( Figs 1 View Figure 1 and 2 View Figure 2 ).
Paratypes
Three males and five females, same locality as the holotype except dated 14–18 August 2012, prep. gen. nos LW12025 , LW12038 , LW12050 , and LW12068 , DNA nos LW13041 , L 13043, and L 13045 ( Figs 1 View Figure 1 and 2 View Figure 2 ) .
Distribution
China (Sichuan).
Etymology of specific epithet
From the Latin globosus (= ball-shaped), referring to anterior half of the ductus bursae distinctively swollen to a ball-shaped structure in the female genitalia.
