            <p> Mohacolora gen. n.</p>
            <p> Type species:  M. bezverkhovi sp. n. , by present designation. </p>
            <p> Diagnosis. The external appearance of the species of  Mohacolora is rather unique, resembling certain species of  Arichanna but according to the genital structure, the new genus shows a closer relationship with  Doratoptera (type species:  D. nicevillei Hampson, 1895 ). The features of the new genus shared with  Doratoptera are the bifurcate uncus, the characteristically stout costal arm of valva without a basal process—the latter is a character of the also related genus  Descoreba (Sato, Stüning &amp; Fu, 2011) —and the similar, more or less rectangular shape of valva with apically pointed ventral part (= sacculus). </p>
            <p> The distinctive features of the male genitalia of  Mohacolora gen. n. and  Doratoptera are as follows: The costal arm of valva is much longer in  Mohacolora , being conspicuously arcuate with convex margin and a broadened apical lobe, that of  Doratoptera is shorter, almost straight and apically tapering. Also the configuration of aedeagus and vesica is rather different in the two related genera:  Mohacolora has a simple, almost straight, elongate, tubular aedeagus without a sclerotized apical process, the ductus ejaculatorius arising from its anterior end; the aedeagus of  Doratoptera is curved, apically tapering, with a very strongly sclerotized, pointed, claw-like process, the ductus ejaculatorius arising close to the middle of the shaft. The vesica of  Mohacolora lacks cornuti while that of  Doratoptera is armed with a bunch of rather long, needle-like cornuti in the type-species (two very long, needlelike cornuti in the other species). </p>
            <p> The bifid uncus of the new genus is relatively short, medially deeply incised, forming two slender, apically pointed arms, situated close to each other, while the uncus is rather variable in  Doratoptera : the type species has a very short, quadrangular, medially very slightly incised uncus, since the other  Doratoptera species have a deeply incised bifid uncus with longer, well separated, apically rounded arms. The bifid juxta of  Mohacolora with a pair of long, curved arms distally is, at first glance, similar to the juxta of certain species of  Doratoptera (except the typespecies which has a distally bilobed furca), but is exceptional in being divided into a larger ventral and a smaller, very similar dorsal furca, only the latter supporting the aedeagus. </p>
            <p> The female genitalia of  Mohacolora are generally similar to those of  Doratoptera and  Descoreba , mainly in size and shape of bursa and signum, but in detail there are important differences: those of  Doratoptera are readily distinguished by the elongated antrum which is tapering to an acute point and bears a membranous appendage distally (clearly expressed in  D. virescens Marumo ,  D. lutea (Kiriakoff) and  D. amabilis (Yazaki) , less clearly in the type-species  D. nicevillei Hampson ). In  Mohacolora the antrum is quadrangular to rectangular, without tapering processes. The ductus bursae is short and membranous in  Doratoptera , long, straight and heavily sclerotized in  Mohacolora . The shape of the corpus bursae is similar in both genera, but in  Mohacolora the proximal part is larger and rather quadrangular. The shape of the signum bursae is very characteristic in  Mohacolora (see the figs 11–12): it consists of a large, round, simple, dentate disc with a triangular, marginally strongly dentate process distally. In  Doratoptera , the signum looks ring-like, with a round opening at surface of bursa and a minutely dentate internal margin and surface. In both genera the signa are not stalked mushroom-like which makes the difference to  Descoreba . </p>
            <p>Description. External features of body and wings (Figs 1–6). Length of forewing 22–25 mm (males), 24–25 mm (females), wingspan 42–50 mm (males), 48–50 mm (females). Male antenna bipectinate, pectinated throughout from base to tip except a few (4–5) terminal segments; branches dark brown arising sub-ventrally close to the proximal margin of the flagellum segments, with ventral surface densely covered with fine, silky setae. The longest branch is about eight times as long as the length of a segment. Dorsally, the branches are unscaled and most flagellum segments are covered with pale brownish-white scales and sparsely scattered with dark brown scales, only the apical section has completely dark brown covering; female antenna filiform, segments red-brown, very shortly setose, with a few longer bristles ventrally, chequered with pale brownish-white and dark brown dorsally. Head moderately large, proboscis well-developed; compound eyes large, somewhat smaller in females, dark metallic-green, spotted with small, rounded or elongated, very variable spots; chaetosemata small, round, close to the eye-margin; labial palpi rather short and broad, with long vertical scales in the basal two segments, covered laterally with blackish, medially with pale yellowish-brown hair-scales, third segment small, oval, tapering. Frons strongly protruding (even more so in females), covered with long, dense yellowish-brown (laterally blackish) hairlike scales, with a medial parting on ventral half; vertex and collar (patagia) with longer, upright, greyish-green hair-like scales, most of them cleft at tip; thorax and tegulae somewhat darker, with much longer hair-like scales and true hair-scales, with greyish-green shining but mixed with brown and black hair-scales in both sexes. Legs chequered with pale yellowish-brown and dark brown. Hindlegs rather small, tibia not dilated, without a scentbrush. Index of spurs 0-2-4. Forewing relatively long and narrow, apex slightly pointed, costal margin very slightly arcuate, outer margin gently curved, ventral margin straight. Forewing. Fovea absent. Ground colour dark blackishgreen, suffused with mossy green, giving the whole forewing a greenish appearance. Basal line absent, antemedial line broad, whitish, sharply defined by a black, distal border, medially angled, upper and lower sections more or less straight. Medial line absent; postmedial line rather thick, upper and lower part whitish, medially interrupted, arcuate (anterior part bent outwards, posterior part bent inwards); subterminal line slightly wavy, interrupted by the green-scaled veins, represented by wide whitish dashes between veins. Fringe-scales relatively long, yellowishgreen, dark brown at veins. Underside like upperside, but somewhat paler with a rather striking, unicolorously greenish-black, triangular patch in the middle of the wing (roughly between the basal halfs of CuA1 and CuA2, but extending anteriorly to the base of M3). Another striking pattern element is a broad, shining white band (with only moderate grey striation more distally) between CuA2 and the posterior margin of the wing, but excluding the subterminal area. Hindwing whitish grey, with the outer half densely suffused with greenish-grey scales; discal spot present, pale grey. Cilia rather long, yellowish-green, chequered with dark grey stripes at veins. Underside of hindwing similar to upperside, but with more sharply defined discal spot, a distinct postmedial line and dense greenish-grey suffusion. Venation. Forewing: Vein R1 anastomozing with Sc for a short distance (~ 1mm), R2 free, R3, R4 and R5 stalked. CuP absent, but indicated as a fold, visible from underside. Hindwing: Rs and M1, M3 and CuA1 not stalked. CuP absent, but indicated as a fold, 1A+2A and also a long 3A present. Pregenital abdomen. Greyish-green, scattered with black scales, without distinct pattern. Tergites 1 and 2 and sternite 1+2 sclerotized, all other segments rather membranous, weak. Tympanal bullae hemispherical, with distinct, lens-shaped laciniae (Figs 7, 8).</p>
            <p>Setal comb on sternite 3 absent, as well as sterno-tympanal process laterally on sternite 1+2. Coremata not developed, last tergite and sternite unmodified.</p>
            <p>Male genitalia (Figs 9, 10, 13, 14). Uncus relatively short, bifurcate, arms slender, tapering, apically pointed. Tegumen very short, relatively broad, distinctly globular in lateral view. Valva large, more or less rectangular, with strongly sclerotized, well-developed, curved, setose, stout costal arm, apically broadened with rounded apex, the ventral part of the latter free of setae. Ventral part of valve (sacculus) sclerotized medially and along the ventral margin, membranous basally and dorsally; apex of sacculus pointed, extending close to apical lobe of costal arm. Juxta consisting of two parts: a large ventral part, well-developed and strongly sclerotized, distally bifurcate, with long, curved, finely and shortly setose lateral arms, the left one broader at basal half; a dorsal, much smaller part, also distally bifurcate, but with a medially separated, rather quadrangular base. The arms of this smaller part are embracing and supporting the aedeagus. Saccus rather short, relatively broad. Aedeagus tubular, slender, relatively long, without apical process, ductus ejaculatorius inserting at its anterior end; vesica membranous, without cornuti, but with a large, transverse diverticulum, formed like a hand or pad, if fully everted, with finger-like, irregular rows and lines of sclerotization.</p>
            <p>Female genitalia (Figs 11–12). Ovipositor moderately long, papillae anales oval or rather quadrangular, apophyses posteriores rather long and thin. Eighth tergite simple, weakly sclerotized, scobinated, apophyses anteriores very short, but robust, thorn-like. Antrum quadrangular or slightly rectangular. Ductus bursae long, straight and heavily sclerotized. Proximal part of corpus bursae quadrangular rather than rounded. Shape of signum very characteristic, consisting of a large, round, simple, dentate disc with a distal triangular, marginally strongly dentate process.</p>
            <p>Etymology. “Moha” is the Hungarian word for “moss”, referring to the conspicuous forewing-colouration of the type-species.</p>

            <p> Diagnosis and description. The detailed diagnosis and description of  Mohacolora bezverkhovi is given in the diagnosis and description of the new genus. Compare figs 1–6 for adults moths, figs 7–8 for details of the pregenital abdomen and figs 9–14 for genitalia. </p>
            <p>Remarks. It is worth to mention, that the specimens collected in East-Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar are significantly paler and lighter greenish compared to the specimens from Vietnam, but these differences may prove to be just clinal, regarding the large gap separating the western and eastern areas of distribution. On the other hand, there are no mentionable differences between the genitalia of the Eastern Himalayan and the Indo-Chinese populations (neither in male, nor in female). Therefore we desisted to distinguish them as two different subspecies.</p>
            <p> Distribution and bionomics. The specimens of the type series were collected in East-Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar (Kachin state) and North Vietnam. Its occurrence can also be expected in the mountainous regions connecting NE. Myanmar and N. Vietnam (S. Yunnan, N. Thailand and N. Laos).  Mohacolora bezverkhovi is a member of the fauna of the medium-high monsoonic forests (1600–2600 m elevations) of the South-East Asian high mountains. The adults are on the wing in October-November. Foodplant and early instars are still unknown. </p>
            <p>Etymology. The species is named after Yuri Bezverkhov from Moscow (Russia), who collected specimens of the new species in Bhutan (besides a lot of other Bhutan material). Mr. Yuri Bezverkhov deposited the geometrids of his Bhutan expedition at the ZSM collection in Munich and supported the museum in its scientific work on that material.</p>
