Glyphodes ahsanae Sutrisno , sp. nov.

( Figs 1E–F View FIGURES 1 , 2E–F View FIGURES 2 , 3G–I View FIGURES 3 )

Diagnosis. Glyphodes ahsanae sp. nov. is easily distinguished from the most similar species, G. stolalis by the white, cashew nut-shaped marking in between the dark brown medial and postmedial bands, the oblong white spot at the posterior medial band, and the white medial spot at the margin of the hindwing ( Figs 1A–B, 1E–F View FIGURES 1 ; see arrows). The simple uncus, apically pointed, with dense setae, the phallus with a thorn cornutus and corpus bursae with a pair of signa, medially bearing a spur, are also diagnostic characters of this species ( Figs 2E–F View FIGURES 2 , 3G–I View FIGURES 3 ; see arrows). In the male genitalia of the G. stolalis , the uncus is blunt apically, the phallus bears a single thorn cornutus without accessories, and the corpus bursae lack a signum ( Figs 2A–B View FIGURES 2 , 3A–C View FIGURES 3 ).

Description. Male ( Fig. 1E View FIGURES 1 ): Forewing length 10–11 mm. Frons oblique, white; vertex shabby white. Labial palpus sub-ascending with first segment covered by yellowish-white scales from base to middle and black scales at tip, second segment broadly scaled in front, third segment porrect and embedded in white scales of second segment. Maxillary palpus prominent, triangularly dilated with white scales at tip. Proboscis well-developed, white, scaled at base. Antennae filiform, extend to approximately full forewing length, dorsal surface covered with longitudinal row of brown scales, ventral surface with long white cilia (almost twice diameter of flagellum). Thorax dorsally brown and ventrally white, patagia dark brown, tegulae white at middle. Legs white, epiphysis covered with black scales, inner spur of mid-tibia less than half length of outer spur. Forewings subtriangular, costa straight in basal 2/3 and curved in distal third, basal and antemedial bands obliquely (45°) running outward from costa to dorsum, wide medial band with complex structure medially running from mid-costa obliquely outward to 3/4 of dorsum, margin with white terminal cilia from apex to M 3 and in between CuA 1 and CuP. Hindwing with white and diffuse medial spot at postmedial band. Abdomen slender with anal black scale tuft.

Male genitalia ( Figs 2E–F View FIGURES 2 ): Tegumen subtriangular; uncus simple, narrow from base to medial part, gradually widened towards subapex, apically pointed, with dense setae; valva simple, semi-ovate, medial costa convex; fibula curved outwardly, pointed apically; juxta prominent, tongue-shaped, weakly sclerotized; transtilla wide, weakly sclerotized; saccus simple, triangular. Coremata base simple, with a bundle of long setae. Phallus weakly sclerotized ventrally, with a single thorn cornutus.

Female ( Fig. 1F View FIGURES 1 ): Similar to male, except abdomen without anal scale tuft and ventral surface of antennae with short grey cilia, less than 1/4 of flagellomere diameter.

Female genitalia ( Figs 3G–I View FIGURES 3 ): Ovipositor lobe ovate with scattered faint setae; lamella postvaginalis moderately sclerotized; posterior apophyses short, anterior apophyses as long as posterior apophyses; entrance to ostium bursae narrow, antrum very short (less than 1/5 length of anterior apophyses); ductus bursae weakly sclerotized at basal 1/3; corpus bursae globular with a pair of signa, medially bearing a spur.
