Keys to the Asclerobia View in CoL View at ENA species
Species of the genus Asclerobia are rather uniform in wing pattern; therefore, the superficial identification of species should be confirmed by other diagnostic characters: the genitalia of both sexes, the culcita of male abdomen (sternum VIII), structures of the head, and structure of the tympanal organ which, in the absence of sexual dimorphism, shows species specificity (figs 23–30).
Key based on external characters:
1. The ratio of the length to the width of the middle segments of male antenna is 1:2, the segments are noticeably wider ( Figs 14–15 View FIGURES 13–17 )......................................................................................... sinensis View in CoL
- The ratio of the length to the width of the middle segments of male antenna is 2:3, the segments are almost square ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 13–17 ).. ................................................................................................... 2
2. Forewing: ante-medial line edged with grey-brown raised scales; the costa is same colour as the main background of the wing........................................................................................ alexandrae
- Forewing: ante-medial line with bright red-brown raised scales; the costa is noticeably lighter (white covered with grey-black scales).................................................................................... flavatinctella
Key based on male genitalia:
1. False cornutus trapezoidal ( Fig. 18d View FIGURES 18–19 )............................................................ flavatinctella
- False cornutus D- or C-shaped ( Fig. 19d View FIGURES 18–19 ).................................................................. 2
2. Apex of the saccus truncate; the outer edge of the sacculus even......................................... alexandrae
- Saccus rounded apically; the outer edge of the sacculus slightly S-shaped crooked............................. sinensis View in CoL
Key based on female genitalia:
1. Corpus bursae broadly egg-shaped ( Figs 20a, 21a View FIGURES 20–22 ); ductus bursae departs from the “pole”.................. flavitinctella View in CoL
- Corpus bursae elongated egg-shaped ( Fig. 22a View FIGURES 20–22 ); ductus bursae departs from the same side as ductus seminalis............ 2
2. The length of VIII segment is 2.2× its width, corpus bursae as long as ductus bursae, papillae anales straight, longer.................................................................................................. alexandrae
- The length of VIII segment is 1.5× its width, corpus bursae as long as ductus bursae and antrum, papillae anales laterally have recess, shorter.................................................................................. sinensis View in CoL
