Calodia sinuata View in CoL , sp. nov.

( Plate 1A View PLATE 1 , Fig. 13-19 View Figures 13-19 )

Description. Length. Male 7.75 mm., female unknown.

External morphology. Moderately large, slender species. General color dark brown to blackish, with numerous, small, ivory to yellow spots on forewings; head narrower than pronotum, anterior margin broadly obtuse; crown wide, about as wide as eyes, produced anteriorly beyond margin of eyes, lateral margins convergent basally; pronotum large, slightly longer medially than crown; surface bullated; mesonotum very large, nearly twice as long medially than pronotum; clypeus long, narrow, lateral margins broadly convex; clypellus long, about 1/3 as long as clypeus, narrow lateral margins flared apically.

Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral view somewhat triangulate, small lobe on apex, glabrous ( Fig. 13 View Figures 13-19 ); aedeagus asymmetrical, sinuate, narrowly tubular in dorsal view, inflated in basal 1/3, recurved apically in lateral view, with 2 long, sinuate, setose apical spines ( Fig. 14, 15 View Figures 13-19 ); style long, robust, apophysis strongly striate longitudinally, apex abruptly tapered ( Fig. 16, 17 View Figures 13-19 ); dorsal connective long, narrow ( Fig. 14, 15 View Figures 13-19 ); connective large, anterior membranous arms broad, without medial ridge, stem small, lobate ( Fig. 18 View Figures 13-19 ); subgenital plate long, broad, glabrous ( Fig. 19 View Figures 13-19 ).

Material examined. Holotype male. LAOS: Phongsaly prov., Ban Sano Mai , 19-26, V, 2004, 1150 m., 21 o 21' N, 102 o 03' E, P. Pacholatko, leg. ( MMBC). GoogleMaps

Etymology. The name of the species is descriptive for the sinuate shaft and apical processes of the aedeagus in dorsal and lateral views.

Remarks. This species is similar to a group of species which possess setose, apical or subapical, spines on aedeagal shaft and can be distinguished by the triangulate apex of the aedeagus in dorsal view which is recurved apically in lateral view.
