Glyphodes nurfitriae Sutrisno sp. nov.

( Figs 1C–D View FIGURES 1 , 2C–D View FIGURES 2 , 3D–F View FIGURES 3 )

Diagnosis. Glyphodes nurfitriae sp. nov. is easily distinguished from the most similar species G. stolalis by the white reniform and denticulate markings on the postmedial band, the white spot at the posterior margin of the forewing near tornus, and three large white spots in various sizes and shapes on the postmedial band of the hindwing ( Figs 1A––D View FIGURES 1 ; see arrows). In the male genitalia, the simple uncus dilated subapically (about 3x wider), the simple costa of valva bearing lamellar scales medially and the phallus with a thorn cornutus ( Figs 2C–D View FIGURES 2 ; see arrows) differ from G. stolalis . In the latter, the uncus is slightly dilated subapically (about 1,5x wider), the lamellar scales are absent on the costa and the length of the cornutus is about 1/10 of its total length ( Figs 2A–B View FIGURES 2 ). In the female genitalia, the globose corpus bursae without a diverticulum and the narrower labial postvaginalis glabrous ( Figs 3D–F View FIGURES 3 ) differ from G. stolalis . In the latter, the globose corpus bursae bear a diverticulum and the labial postvaginalis is wider with scattered setae ( Figs 3A–C View FIGURES 3 ).

Description. Male ( Fig. 1C View FIGURES 1 ): Forewing length 9–10 mm. Frons oblique, white; vertex shabby white. Labial palpus sub-ascending with first segment covered by snow white scales from basal to medial 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 snow 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 grey cilia (almost twice of diameter of flagellum). Thorax dorsally brown and ventrally white, patagia dark brown, tegulae white, dark brown at middle. Legs brownish white, epiphysis covered with brownish white scales, inner spur of mid-tibia less than half length of outer spur. Forewing subtriangular, costa straight in basal 2/3 and curved in distal third, basal and antemedial band 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, postmedial band with white, reniform and denticulate markings, posterior margin with white spot, termen with alternate white and black fringes. Hindwing with three large white spots in various sizes and shapes at postmedial band and oblong, white spot at margin. Abdomen brown, slender with anal black scale tuft.

Male genitalia ( Figs 2C–D View FIGURES 2 ): Tegumen subtriangular, subscaphium slightly sclerotized; uncus simple, medially narrow, gradually widened towards subapex, subapically dilated, blunt apically with scattered setae; valva simple, leaf-shaped, mid-costa with dense lamellar scales; fibula short, curved inwardly, pointed apically; transtilla prominent, well-sclerotized; saccus simple, triangular. Coremata base simple, with bundle of long scale. Phallus weakly sclerotized ventrally with a thorn cornutus.

Female ( Fig. 1D 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 3D–F View FIGURES 3 ): Ovipositor lobe ovate with scattered faint setae; lamella postvaginalis moderately sclerotized; 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, without signum ( Figs 3D–F View FIGURES 3 ; see arrow).

Etymology. The specific name nurfitriae is derived from the name of the first daughter, Nur Fitria, of the senior author, Hari Sutrisno. This name is dedicated to her support during our preparing of this manuscript. A noun in the genitive case.

Distribution. Kwerba, Mt. Foja, Papua only ( Indonesia) ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 ).

Remark: The adults are nocturnal.
