Sun, Yinghui & Li, Houhun, 2013, Taxonomic review of Chinese Phalonidia Le Marchand, 1933 (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Cochylini), Zootaxa 3641 (5), pp. 533-553 : 546-549

Phalonidia dysodona (Caradja, 1916)

Cochylis dysodona Caradja, 1916: 52 . TL: Russia (Khabarovsky Krai, Raddé). [attributed to Walsingham] Phalonidia dysodona Razowski, 1964: 338 .

Distribution. China (Heilongjiang), Russia.

Biology. Adults of this species were collected in Dailing, Heilongjiang Province, China on August 18 (Liu 2002). In the Palaearctic Region, the adults are collected from May to August and inhabit wet meadows and mesic grasslands (Razowski 2009).

Remarks. This species was recorded from China by Liu (2002), and we have seen no additional material.

Phalonidia fraterna Razowski, 1970 ( Figs. 10, 26, 41)

Phalonidia fraterna Razowski, 1970: 216 . TL: Russia (Far East, Primorsky Krai, Askold Island).

Material examined. CHINA: Henan Province: 2 3, 3 Ƥ, Baotianman Nature Reserves, Neixiang County (33 °02ʹN, 111 ° 50 ʹE), 1200 m, 28.v− 2.vi. 2006, leg. Jinmei Lv and Xu Zhang. (Genitalia slide Nos.: ZX06109 Ƥ, ZX06111 3, ZX07009 Ƥ, SYH 11033 Ƥ).

Diagnosis. Adult ( Fig. 10). Wingspan 14.0−16.0 mm. This species is very similar to P. scabra , but P. fraterna can be distinguished by the valva gradually narrowed from the base to the apex, and the sacculus without a terminal process in the male genitalia ( Fig. 26); and by the corpus bursae with a column-shaped process but without a sclerotized band in the female genitalia ( Fig. 41). In P. scabra , the valva is broad medially, narrow basally and distally, and the sacculus bears a small terminal process in the male genitalia; and the corpus bursae lacks a process but bears a sclerotized narrow band that forms an incomplete circle in the female genitalia.

Distribution. China (Heilongjiang, Henan), Korea, Russia.

Remarks. Byun & Li (2006) reported P. f r a t e r n a for the first time from China and provided a figure of the adult. Their figure shows the subapical fascia of the forewing extending to the anterior 1 / 3 of the wing. However, in the illustration provided by Razowski (1970: pl. 11, fig. 126), the subapical fascia extends to the tornus. Further study is needed to determine whether this represents intraspecific variation.

Phalonidia latifasciana Razowski, 1970 ( Figs. 11, 27)

Phalonidia latifasciana Razowski, 1970: 206 . TL: Central Asia (Kemerowsk District, Waganowo).

Material examined. CHINA: Sichuan Province: 1 3, Kangding County (30 °04ʹN, 101 ° 57 ʹE), 2400 m, 8.vii. 2001, leg. Houhun Li and Xinpu Wang (genitalia slide No.: YHL04626).

Diagnosis. Adult ( Fig. 11). Wingspan 12.0−18.0 mm. This species is very similar to P. s i l v e s t r i s, but P. latifasciana can be distinguished by the forewing with the inverted triangular subapical fascia extending from between the distal 1 / 4 and the apex to above the tornus, the phallus nearly triangular distally, and the cornutus about 2 / 5 the length of the phallus in the male genitalia ( Fig. 27); and by the corpus bursae with a sclerotized band that forms an incomplete circle in the female genitalia (Razowski 1970: pl. 132, fig. 118). In P. silvestris , the narrow stripe-shaped subapical fascia of the forewing extends from the distal 1 / 4 to above the tornus, the phallus is slender, and the cornutus is about 1 / 3 the length of the phallus in the male genitalia; and the corpus bursae lacks a sclerotized band in the female genitalia.

Distribution. China (Jilin, Sichuan), Japan, Korea, Russia, Europe.

Description. Adult ( Fig. 12). Wingspan 9.0−13.0 mm. Female genitalia ( Fig. 42) with papilla analis about same length as apophysis posterioris. Apophysis posterioris about same length as apophysis anterioris and 2.5 times length of basal plate. Antrum nearly cylindrical, slightly shorter than width, slightly concave on posterior margin; ductus bursae about two times length of antrum, gradually narrowed posteriorly, weakly sclerotized, with longitudinal wrinkles; ductus seminalis arising from anterior part of ductus bursae. Corpus bursae nearly rounded, with a sclerotized narrow band forming an incomplete circle near outer margin, another circle of short thin spines situated anterior to first circle, other parts densely suffused with fine wrinkles.

Diagnosis.

In P. melanothicta , the socii are decumbent and separate, and the valva is gradually narrowed from base to the apex in the male genitalia; and the ductus bursae is about same length as the antrum, and the corpus bursae lacks a circle of short thin spines in the female genitalia.

Distribution. China (Anhui, Beijing, Gansu, Guizhou, Heilongjiang, Hunan, Jilin, Liaoning, Ningxia, Yunnan), Japan, Korea, Russia.

Remarks. This is the first description of the female of this species.

Diagnosis. Adult ( Fig. 13). Wingspan 8.5−13.0 mm. This species is very similar to P. nicotiana , but P. melanothicta can be distinguished by the decumbent socii separate throughout, the transtilla nearly triangular, and the sacculus lacking a terminal process in the male genitalia ( Fig. 29). In P. n i c o t i a n a, the erect socii are separate only near the apex, the transtilla is nearly ovoid, and the terminal process of the sacculus is nearly semicircular in the male genitalia. The female genitalia ( Fig. 43) of P. melanothicta are similar to those of P. lydiae (Filipjev, 1940) , and the differences between them are noted under the latter species.

Distribution. China (Anhui, Fujian, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Ningxia, Sichuan, Yunnan, Zhejiang), Japan.

Diagnosis. Adult ( Fig. 14). Wingspan 12.0 mm. This species is very similar to P. scabra , but P. nicotiana can be distinguished by the valva gradually narrowed from the base to the apex, and the sacculus with a nearly semicircular terminal process in the male genitalia ( Fig. 30). In P. scabra , the valva is broad medially, narrow basally and distally, and the sacculus bears a small terminal process in the male genitalia.

Distribution. China (Heilongjiang, Liaoning).

Remarks. This species is known only from China, and its female is unknown.
