Razowski, Józef & Wojtusiak, Janusz, 2008, Notes on Ernocornutia Razowski, 1988 (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Euliini) with descriptions of seven new species from Ecuador, Zootaxa 1720, pp. 46-56 : 51-53

Ernocornutia chiribogana , sp. n.

( Fig. 3 , 13 a, 13b, 19)

Diagnosis. This species is similar to E. capronata , but E. chiribogana can be distinguished by the slender basal half of the uncus; the longer, broader basal lobe of the distal portion of the gnathos arms; and the much broader, shorter aedeagus.

Description. Wing span ca. 21 mm. Head brown; labial palpus brown, ca. 3.5 times horizontal diameter of compound eye. Thorax brown. Forewing distinctly expanded terminally; costa weakly convex; termen sinuate. Ground colour pale brownish finely strigulated with brown; markings ill-defined, in form of brown suffusions, in posterior part of wing finely edged whitish. Cilia concolorous with wing. Hindwing pale ochreous cream, with grey strigulation. Cilia cream.

Male genitalia ( Figs. 13 a, 13b). Uncus slender to beyond middle, broad terminally; lobe of terminal part of gnathos arms large, tapering in distal half; basal half of sacculus short, terminal lobe rather slender; aedeagus short, broad beyond zone, then tapered terminally.

Female genitalia ( Fig. 19 ). Sterigma small, weakly sclerotized proximally; antrum sclerite fused with long sclerite of ductus bursae; membranous part of the ductus bursae short, curved; corpus bursae large. Holotype male: “ Ecuador, Prov. Pichincha, Chiriboga, West Cordillera, 5.02.2005, 3100 m, leg. J. Wojtusiak”, GS 536 (MZUJ). Paratypes: 1 female: same data as holotype, GS 576 (MZUJ).
