(14) Nemophora zheduoshana Liao, Hirowatari & Huang, 2021 View in CoL
(Plates II-2, XIII-1)
Nemophora zheduoshana Liao et al., 2021: 18 View in CoL , figs. 1A, C, E, 2A, 3 (TL: China, Sichuan, Kangding, Zheduoshan ; HUNAU).
Diagnosis. This species is very similar to N. sichuana in the forewing pattern, but can differs from the latter by the following characters: the central fascia is slightly interrupted in the middle; the subapical spot is stilliform; the abdomen is dark brown to black uniformly; the eyes are relatively larger with ca. 0.78 of eye size index; the valva is widely separated in ventral view; and the sacculus is only slightly swollen in the basal part.
Specimen examined. [ S ichuan] 1♁ (holotype), Zheduoshan (4,200 m), Kangding City, 2004.VIII.4, M. Wang & L.S. Chen leg. ( HUNAU) .
Distribution. China (Sichuan).
Remarks. Compared with other members of the sichuana species group, this species occurs in a mountainous locality with an elevation of approximately 4,200 m ( Liao et al. 2021).
3.3 Nemophora askoldella species group
Nemophora askoldella View in CoL group ( Kozlov 1995: 461)
Diagnosis. The askoldella species group can be distinguished by the following features: the compound eyes are relatively large, eye size index is 0. 9– 1.1 in male and 0.6–0.7 in female; the proximal segments of the male antenna are dorsolaterally covered with dark brown or blackish scales; the female antenna has a characteristic brush on flagellar segments 18–23; the female antenna is 1.1–1.3 × length of the forewing; the background color of the forewing is gray, randomly mixed with dark and light scales, hindwing base white and translucent; the forewing lacks longitudinal stripes, but the base of radial stem has small dark spots; the head light color, usually white, gray, or silver-gray.
Remarks. This species group includes five species: N. griseella ( Walsingham, 1880) ( India, Nepal, Myanmar), N. ischnodesma (Meyrick, 1928) ( India, Myanmar), N. cassiterites ( Meyrick, 1907) ( India) , N. askoldella ( Millière, 1879) ( China, Russia, Japan, Korea), and N. chionites ( Meyrick, 1907) ( India, Thailand). Here, N. chionites is first reported in southern China.
Key to species of the askoldella View in CoL group based on external morphology
1 Forewing transverse central fascia approximately equal in width; labial palpus relatively short, not exceeding vertical eye diameter................................................................................... N. askoldella View in CoL
- Forewing transverse central fascia twice as wide at costa than at termen; labial palpus very long, about 2 × vertical eye diameter.................................................................................... N. chionites View in CoL
Key to species of the askoldella View in CoL group based on male genitalia
1 Vinculum relatively short, about 2.4 × as long as valva; lateral margin of valva nearly parallel to the central axis; suspensorium relatively short, slightly beyond posterior margin of vinculum......................................... N. askoldella View in CoL
- Vinculum relatively long, about 2.6 × as long as valva; tip of valva distinctly oblique outwardly, lateral margin about 30-degree angle with the central axis; suspensorium long, far beyond posterior margin of vinculum..................... N. chionites View in CoL
