Hypatopa manus Adamski , new species

( Figs. 34 , 169–170 , 371 , Map 33)

Diagnosis.— Hypatopa manus possesses the following unique combination of features; an anteriorly directed ventroposterior margin of the gnathos; an apical process of the ventral part of the valva that is acutely curved inwardly from base; a digitate process of the dorsal part of the valva that is straight from a slightly angled base; a proximal flange that is elongate, narrowly angular basally, gradually widening dorsolaterally to a broadly rounded apical part; and a phallus and sclerite of phallus that is longer than the valva. This combination of character states differentiates it from all other congeners.

Description.—Head: Scales on vertex and frontoclypeus grayish brown tipped with pale grayish brown. Outer surface of labial palpus brown intermixed with pale-brown scales along apical margins of all segments, inner surface pale brown. Antennal scape with grayish-brown scales tipped with white, pecten grayish brown, flagellum gray. Proboscis pale brown.

Thorax: Tegula brown; mesonotum with basal 1/2 brown, apical 1/2 pale brown. Legs brown intermixed with pale-brown scales near midsegments and along apical margins of all segments and tarsomeres. Forewing ( Fig. 371 ): Length 4.0–6.0 mm (n = 73), pale brown intermixed with brown scales; base dark gradually brightening to 2/ 3 [some specimens with a dark costa]; cell with three spots present or absent, if present, one near middle, one near middle on apical end along crossvein; marginal spots faint. Undersurface brown. Venation ( Fig. 34 ) with M3 and CuA1 arising from a common point on distoposterior part of cell; cubital veins divergent from bases with M3 straight and CuA2 broadly curved. Hindwing: Translucent pale brown. Venation ( Fig. 34 ) with cubitus 4-branched; M2 arising from point beyond distoposterior part of cell and branching point of M3 and CuA1 near 1/3.

Abdomen: Male genitalia ( Figs. 169–170 ): Uncus narrowed from broadly rounded base, acutely downcurved and laterally flattened apically, sparsely setose, about equal in length to width of anal opening. Gnathos, narrow, anteriorly directed band, confluent with tegumen, ventroposterior margin widely emarginate mesially. Sockets of tergal setae extending beyond midlength of tegumen. Valva divided, ventral part basally protracted inwardly, angular at 2/3, narrowing to inwardly curved, spinelike apical process; process acutely curved inwardly from base, setose on outer surface, planate on inner surface; ventral margin entire, sparsely setose, with setose lobe at base of apical process; dorsal part with apical portion of costa extending dorsally from an angled base, forming setose digitate process; process straight from base; basal ridge of digitate process extending ventrally fusing with dorsolateral ridge of proximal flange; flange elongate, narrowly angular basally, gradually widening dorsolaterally to broadly rounded apical margin; flange densely setose, each seta pointed toward middle; margin entire. Juxta bandlike. Vinculum semicircular. Phallus and sclerite of phallus longer than valva; phallus slightly curved from 1/ 3, sclerite of phallus slightly curved at 2/3; anellus about 1/5 length of phallus, parallelsided along basal 1/2, gradually narrowing to rounded apex, setose on basal 1/2. Female Genitalia: Unknown.

MAP 33. Distribution of Hypatopa manus (●) and H. caepae (˔).

Distribution (Map 33). Hypatopa manus is known from nine collecting sites; five in western Costa Rica along the Cordillera de Guanacaste, two on the Cordillera de Tilarán, and two closely adjacent sites on the eastern most part of the Cordillera de Talamanca near the border of Panama.

Etymology. The specific epithet manus is derived from the Latin meaning, the hand.
