Treatment

Hampsonola subbasirufa sp. n.

(Plate 2, Figs 7, 8 View FIGURES 7 – 9 ; gen. figs 13, 14)

Holotype. Male, China, Prov. N. Yunnan, Li-kiang, 7.VIII.1934, leg. H. Höne, slide No.: LGN 1946 (coll. ZFMK).

Paratypes. China, Yunnan. A series of both sexes from the same locality as the holotype, with the following collecting data: 19.VII.1934, 20.VII.1934, 3.VIII.1934, 8.VIII.1934, 9.VIII.1934, 10.VIII.1934, 15.VIII.1934, 27.VIII.1934, 13.VIII.1934, 14.VIII.1935, 17.VIII.1935, 18.VIII.1935, 25.VIII.1935, 28.VIII.1935, 1.IX.1935, 5.IX.1935, 6.IX.1935, 9.IX.1935, slide Nos: LGN 1947, LGN 2021 (females) (coll. ZFMK); 2 males, from the same site, 29.VII.1935 and 2.VIII.1935 (coll. SMNK). China, Shaanxi: 1 male, Tapaishan in Tsinling, ca. 3000 m, 10.VIII.1936, leg H. Höne (coll. ZFMK).

Diagnosis. Hampsonola subbasirufa is similar externally to H. basirufa (de Joannis, 1928) (Plate 3, Figs 1, 2 View FIGURES 1 – 3 ), due to their similar elongate reddish patch covering the basal area of forewing, extending broadly on the costal margin towards the middle of forewing. The main distinctive external characters are as follows: the new species has graphite-grey head, collar and tegulae, darker, unicolorously grey forewing ground colour with only traces of medial and postmedial lines and the darker, pale greyish hindwing while H. basirufa has bright white head and collar, reddish tegulae, whitish forewing ground colour, sharply defined transverse lines and fine, dense darker suffusion in the terminal area; in addition, the hindwing is paler, whitish-grey.

In the male genitalia the new species has, in comparison with H. basirufa (gen. figs 13–16), considerably shorter uncus, shorter apical extension of tegumen, narrower and shorter medial dilatation of tegumen, somewhat narrower dorsal lobe of valva, somewhat longer, more elongate harpe, slightly longer apical process of vinculum and somewhat thicker, but similarly simple, short and tubular aedeagus. There are considerable differences in the female genitalia as the new species has broad V-shaped ostium bursae, considerably smaller, thorn-like signa and somewhat thicker apophyses compared to those of H. basirufa , which has narrower U-shaped ostium bursae.
