Clarior kitchingi Fibiger View in CoL , new species
( Plate 8 View PLATE 8 , figure 3; male genit. plate 17, figure 5)
Material examined. Holotype: male, N Thailand, Doi Phu Kha Nat. Park , Nan, km 35.4, 28.vii.1990, leg. I.J. Kitching & A.M. Cotton, BM 1992 - 19 , genit. prep. 3204 M. Fibiger, coll. BMNH.
Diagnosis. Imago (external). Wingspan: 10.5 mm.
Head, patagia, anterior part of tegulae, prothorax, basal part of costa, costal part of medial area, and outer half of fringes: black, costal medial area quadrangular.
Forewing: long; narrow, pointed at apex; ground colour white yellow, suffused with light brown scales; with black tornal patch (apo.).
Crosslines: indistinct, light brown.
Terminal line: indistinct, indicated by black, interneural dots.
Reniform stigma: white, outlined by light brown.
Hindwing: grey, without discal spot.
Underside: forewing light brown, hindwing light grey.
Male genitalia. Tegumen: relatively narrow throughout.
Vinculum and saccus: inconspicuous.
Saccus: short, broadly V shaped.
Fultura superior: large; platelike; extending across diaphragm, and beyond in small free processes (apo.).
Valvae: relatively narrow; slightly asymmetrical; apically-medial on valva with inwardly-directed spikelike process (apo.).
Clasper: barlike, along valva margins.
Ampulla: slightly asymmetrical, semilunar-shaped, small hump present inside on ventral arms (apo.).
Juxta-anellus plate: almost quadrangular, hole for phallus positioned dorsally.
Phallus: long, narrow, and curved ventrally; broadest by ductus ejaculatorius (apo.).
Vesica: long, cylindrical, unarmed (everted in preparation).
Differential diagnosis. C. kitchingi differs from other Obscurini species in:
- white-yellow ground colour throughout;
- with tornal patch;
- white reniform stigma;
male genitalia, in
- fultura superior plate, dorso-laterally with small, free processes;
- small hump on ampulla;
- spikelike processes apically on valva;
- ventrally curved phallus.
Distribution. C. kitchingi is known only from N Thailand.
