Triphosa dubitata

Schmidt, Olga, 2017, Comparison of the structure and musculature of male terminalia in the tribes Operophterini, Phileremini and Triphosini (Lepidoptera: Geometridae: Larentiinae), Zootaxa 4237 (2), pp. 347-358 : 352

Triphosa dubitata

( Figs 5–6 ).

The uncus is long, bent, broadened at the base, slightly tapering apically and heavily sclerotized. Small socii at the base of the uncus are present. The tegumen is cupolar, composed of two lobes, with a posterior rounded notch, as in Pareulype , Philereme and Solitanea . The weakly sclerotized gnathos arms are fused with the tegumen posteriorly but are well pronounced anteriorly, forming a broken medial ring. The subscaphium of the anal tube is distinct, weakly sclerotized. The posterior labides arms are barely protruding, sac-like, covered with setae and partly fused with the base of the tube-like transtilla. The juxta is located between the sacculi of the valvae. The aedeagus is small, without cornuti in the aedeagal vesica.
