Editum editum Fibiger View in CoL , new species
( Plate 9 View PLATE 9 , figure 4; male genit. plate 18, figure 4)
Material examined. Holotype: male. Vietnam, 20 km Di Linh (Djiring), 22–28.iv.1960, leg. L.W. Quate, genit. prep. 3333 M. Fibiger, coll. BPBM.
Diagnosis. Imago (external). Wingspan: 10 mm.
Head, patagia, anterior part of tegulae, prothorax, basal part of costa, costal part of medial area, subterminal and terminal areas: blackish brown, costal medial area triangular.
Forewing: ground colour beige.
Abdomen: grey.
Crosslines: untraceable, except terminal line well marked by black interneural dots.
Reniform stigma: whitish, indistinct.
Hindwing: grey, with discal spot.
Underside: forewing brown; hindwing grey, with discal spot.
Male genitalia. Tegumen: extremely thin, threadlike [partly lost during genitalia preparation]; ventral part of tegumen twice as thick, bearing also peniculus.
Peniculus: platelike, 5 times higher than wide (apo.).
Vinculum and saccus: stout, 3 times broader than apical part of tegumen.
Saccus: very short, V shaped.
Diaphragm: almost circular between valvae.
Fultura superior: across diaphragm barlike; laterally fused basally to tegumen; apically free as two asymmetrical, prominent rodlike processes; at tip spined; both processes bifurcate (apo.).
Valvae: short and very wide basally, slightly longer than wide, asymmetrical (apo.).
Clasper: barlike, oblique to valva margins.
Ampulla: very large, bilobed, slightly asymmetrical, apically smoothly rounded, dorsal lobe slightly larger than ventral, almost as long as wide (apo.).
Editum : ovoid, on right side 3 times longer than wide, almost half size of whole of valva, setose; (apo.).
Juxta-anellus plate: small, asymmetrical, located close to saccus in diaphragm.
Phallus: long and narrow; almost equally wide; bent upwards at 2/3; coecum very short, half width of rest of phallus (apo.).
Vesica: with spicules.
Female genitalia. Unknown.
Differential diagnosis. E. editum differs from other Editum species in male genitalia, in:
- narrower and longer peniculus;
- processes of fultura superior: shorter and with less apical spines;
- one curve of phallus.
Distribution. E. editum known only from Vietnam.
