SCOPARIA ANNULATA LI SP. NOV.
( FIGS 1–2 View Figure 1 View Figure 2 , 3I View Figure 3 , 6B–C View Figure 6 , 9C View Figure 9 )
Diagnosis
See the diagnosis of S. globosa sp. nov.
Description
Adult ( Fig. 3I View Figure 3 ): Forewing length 7.0– 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 slightly oblique outwards; antemedian stigmata and distal discoidal stigma black, tinged with ochreous on inner side, ovate and 8-shaped, respectively; postmedian line meeting costa perpendicularly, angled outwards at about costal twofifths, dorsal about three-fifths parallel with termen; subterminal line curved inwards at middle; fringe grayish white, pale brown near base. Hindwing white, suffused pale brown near apex and termen; fringe concolorous with forewing. Abdomen pale brown.
Male genitalia ( Fig. 6B, C View Figure 6 ): Uncus convex at middle, slightly concave near distal tip; distal half narrowed towards pointed apex. Gnathos slightly longer than uncus, tapering to hooked tip. Valva slightly narrow near base, broadening towards rounded apex; costa gently convex at about one-third. Sacculus slightly convex ventrobasally and concave ventrodistally. Juxta ovate, more or less concave near middle, distal onequarter narrowed towards blunted tip. Phallus nearly as long as valva; cornuti consisting of 8–14 small spines of different size.
Female genitalia ( Fig. 9C View Figure 9 ): Papillae anales about twothirds as long as apophysis posterior. Tergite 8 about half as long as apophysis anterior. Antrum tubular, covered with dense granules. Colliculum concave and sclerotized anteriorly. Ductus bursae looped and forming small annular structure anterior to colliculum. Corpus bursae rounded, covered with dense tiny spines; signum stripe-like; appendix bursae small and rounded.
Holotype
Male: China, Sichuan, Hailuogou Glacier , near no. 1 glacier, ∼ 3000 m a.s.l., 14 August 2012, W. Li and L. Huang leg., prep. gen. no. LW12014 .
Paratypes
Seventeen males and nineteen females, same locality as the holotype except dated 14–18 August 2012, prep. gen. nos LW12022 , LW12026 , LW12033 , LW12047 , LW12048 , and LW12053 , DNA nos L 13052, L 13053, L 13054, L 13055, L 13056, and L 13057 ( Figs 1 View Figure 1 and 2 View Figure 2 ) .
Distribution
China (Sichuan).
Etymology of specific epithet
From the Latin annulatus (= annular), referring to the ductus bursae looped before the colliculum and forming an annular structure in the female genitalia.
Remarks
The male genitalia of the new species varied in the phallus and cornuti: the phallus of some specimens with similar diameter and bearing a single group of cornuti ( Fig. 6B View Figure 6 ); in contrast, the phallus of some individuals thin basally, then distinctively thickening towards distal tip, and cornuti including a second group composed of a thin and long spine ( Fig. 6C View Figure 6 ). According to the wellsupported cluster (DNA nos LW13052, LW13053, LW13054, LW13055, LW13056, and LW13057) of phylogenetic results ( Figs 1 View Figure 1 and 2 View Figure 2 ), the varied characters were demonstrated to intraspecific character variability.
