( Figs. 6 View FIGURES 2−9 , 14 View FIGURES 10−14 )
Type material. CHINA: Sichuan Province: GoogleMaps Holotype ♂, Caoping Village (30.95°N, 103.32°E), Sanjiang Town GoogleMaps , Wenchuan County, 1557 m, 11.VII.2014, coll. Kaijian Teng et al., genitalia slide No. TKJ17456.
Diagnosis. Hypatopa apicirecta is similar to H. orthocera in the male genitalia, but it can be separated from the latter by the juxta deeply concave, broadly V-shaped medially on the posterior margin, and the phallus not dilated basally and straight apically. In H. orthocera the juxta is broadly U-shape medially on the posterior margin, and the phallus is dilated spherically in the basal 2/5 and narrowly rounded apically.
Description. Forewing length 6.0 mm ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 2−9 ). Head pale grayish brown, scales tipped with grayish white. Antenna with scape brown on dorsal surface except some scales tipped with grayish white, grayish white on ventral surface; pecten brown; flagellum with dorsal surface dark brown and becoming paler from base to apex, ventral surface grayish white and ciliated in male. Labial palpus with second segment dark brown on outer surface, mixed with grayish brown scales, some scales tipped with grayish white; third segment about 2/3 length of second, grayish white on outer surface, mixed with brown scales, dark brown along ventral margin; inner surface grayish white. Haustellum grayish brown. Thorax and tegula dark brown. Forewing brown, grayish white mixed with pale brown scales from near base to basal 1/3, with scattered grayish white tipped pale brown scales on distal 2/3; discal and plical spots blackish brown, ill-defined, two discocellular spots blackish brown, rounded; fringe brown, mixed with grayish white. Hindwing and fringe grayish brown. Legs with dorsal surface grayish white; ventral surface dark brown, some scales tipped with grayish white; tibia of hindleg and all tarsomeres grayish white at apex.
Male genitalia ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 10−14 ). Uncus subtriangular, wide at base, narrowed to a rounded apex, keeled ventrally on distal 1/3; slightly curved ventrad, sparsely setose. Gnathos with posterior margin slightly arched, notched medially, obtriangular anteriorly. Dorsal part of valva with costal process almost uniform from costa upward to rounded apex, slightly curved inward, from costa widened ventrad to proximal flange; proximal flange oval, with spines along ventral and outer margins, its inner surface with dense microtrichiae on dorsal half and with setae and spines on ventral half. Ventral part of valva with basal 2/3 broad, subovoidal; distal process clubbed, bent inward, sparsely setose on outer surface, flat and smooth on inner surface; sacculus with basal 3/4 almost uniformly wide, distal 1/4 gradually narrowed to terminal, with sparse long setae along distal 3/4 of ventral margin. Juxta a transverse band, deep and broadly V-shape medially on posterior margin. Vinculum a narrow band. Phallus shorter than valva, straight, almost uniform, slightly narrowed from before apex, straight apically; internal sclerite curved near base, forming an obtuse angle; anellus with distal 3/4 bearing cone-like setae.
Female unknown.
Distribution. China (Sichuan).
Etymology. The specific epithet of this species is derived from the Latin apici- and rectus, in reference to the straight apex of the phallus.
