Hampsonola stueningi sp. n.

(Plate 3, Figs 5, 6 View FIGURES 4 – 6 ; gen. figs 19, 20)

Holotype. Male, China, Prov. N. Yunnan, Li-kiang, 3.VII.1934, leg. H. Höne, slide No.: LGN 1971 (coll. ZFMK).

Paratypes. China, Yunnan. 2 females from the same site as the holotype, but collected at 16.VIII.1934 and 12.VII. 1934, slide Nos: LGN 1972, LGN 1988; 1 male, from the same site, 28.VII.1935, slide No.: Dufay gen prep. 764; 1 female, from the same site, 19.VIII.1934 (coll. ZFMK).

Diagnosis. The closest relative of H. stueningi is H. angustifasciata , the differences between them are the following: the new species has pale grey forewing ground colour with rather broad darker grey medial part bordered by the somewhat sharper defined antemedial and postmedial crosslines, while H. angustifasciata has much paler whitish-grey forewings with darker, almost blackish, and much narrower, tapering medial stripe.

Comparing the male genitalia of the two sister-species, H. stueningi has somewhat longer uncus, conspicuously different, shorter and more dilated, apically truncate, more or less triangular dorsal valval lobe (that is evenly rounded in H. angustifasciata ) and longer, narrower, apically pointed ventral valval lobe (being rounded in the related species), and considerably shorter harpe. The aedeagus of the new species is curved once only in its basal third, while that of H. angustifasciata is characteristically S-shaped.

The rather similar configuration of the female genitalia of H. stueningi and H. angustifasciata supports the close relationship of the two species, with the following distinctive features: H stueningi has considerably thinner and somewhat longer apophyses, funnel-like ostium bursae (that is V-shaped in H. angustifasciata ) and somewhat thinner but similarly claw-like signa bursae.
