Genus Setema Freina & Witt, 1984 View in CoL

Setema de Freina et Witt, 1984 View in CoL . Nota lepidopterologica. 7 (4): 331–332.

Type species: Bombyx cereola Hübner, [1803] . Sammlung europäischer Schmetterlinge 3: 24 f. 99, by original designation.

Diagnosis.

Imago. Forewings broad, with nearly straight costal margin and a pale subcostal line; scaling often sparse making wings to look semitransparent. Females often have brachypterous wings ( Dubatolov, 2015).

Male genitalia. Uncus moderate in width; valvae contracted apically, with distinct ventral process curved upwards, exceeding the limit of the valves and turning towards them until contacting the cucullus; clasper absent; juxta rectangular without apical processes; vinculum triangular of a moderate size; aedeagus cylindrical, short, without an apical sclerotised fascia or apical spur; two cornuti spike-like, equal in size; vesica bag-shaped with several cone-like cornuti.

Female genitalia. Anal papillae very robust and sclerotised; lamella postvaginalis heart-shaped slightly sclerotised; ostium bursae wide, V-shaped and strongly sclerotised; ductus bursae wide, trapezoidal, also strongly sclerotised and a well-developed posteriors enlargement of the corpus bursae located opposite the asppendix bursae.

Molecular data. The three species belonging to the Setema genus included in the extended analysis, Setema cereola , Setema debilis (Staudinger, 1887) and Setema bicolor (Grote, 1864) , cluster together in close proximity to Indalia lutarella ( Fig. 119 View FIGURE 119 and 120 View FIGURE 120 ). It is worth mentioning that mitochondrial and nuclear markers from a single specimen of Setema debilis from Russia have been sequenced for the first time and included in the BOLD Dataset (EILE Eilema Lepidoptera ). The species Setema debilis and Setema bicolor , even though they have been sequenced, are not part of the studied area.
