Cosmorhoe ocellata (Linnaeus)

( Figs 7–8 )

The uncus is long, thin, curved and bent. The socii are present. The muscles m1 are attached to the anterior margin of the tegumen laterally and run to the base of the uncus. The muscles m2(10) extend from the tegumen to the distal area of the anal tube, which bears a longitudinal rather strongly sclerotized subscaphium. The tergal extensors of the valvae muscles m3(2) run from the proximal parts of the small tegminal projections to the area of the relatively small basal process of the costa valvae connected to the lateral curves of the transtilla. The muscles m4 extend from the proximal portion of the vinculum to the most lateral regions of the transtilla. The valva is simple, narrow, lobeshaped and the muscles m5(7) much reduced. The juxta is slightly narrowed, with a thin medio-posterior projection, with the broadly attached lateral labides, and the muscles m8(3) running to its posterior portion from the middle of the posterior margin of the broad saccus. The aedeagus is large, somewhat sigmoid, the muscles m6(5) connect the distal parts of the vinculum to the basal process of the aedeagus. The thick muscles m7(6) run from the anterior margin of the saccus to the medio-distal area of the aedeagus.
