7BA103565275377DF3E13E45B7409261.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Eremonidiopsis can be recognized by a combination of the following characters: antennae bipectinate; FW veins Rs 2 - Rs 4 branch in the pattern Rs 2 + [Rs 3 + Rs 4]; FW discal cell very long, about 65 % of FW length; male without stridulatory organ, FW veins M 1 and M 2 not swollen at their bases; veins M 3 and CuA 1 separate in the FW and stalked in the HW. Eremonidiopsis appears to be a close relative of Eremonidia from Hispaniola, one the two other known West Indian Dioptinae genera (Rawlins and Miller 2008; Miller 2009). The stalk of Rs 1 with Rs 2 - Rs 4 branch is long in Eremonidia but in Eremonidiopsis arises just after the origin from the discal cell or is even connate. They also differ by the color of the proboscis, golden brown in Eremonidia and blackish brown in Eremonidiopsis, and in the size head respect to insect size. Both taxa show a similar size, with a FW length of 12.7 mm in Eremonidia mirifica and 12.2 mm in Eremonidiopsis aggregata; however, head width across the eyes is 1.41 mm in the latter whereas in the Hispaniolan genus the measure is 1.77 mm or 25 % larger. The tympanum also exhibits differences. The membrane is enclosed, deep, and oriented horizontally in Eremonidia (Rawlins and Miller 2008; Miller 2009) whereas in Eremonidiopsis it is shallow, not enclosed, and oriented vertically. Although their male genitalia show similarities when compared to other Dioptinae, they exhibit differences in shape of the valvae, aedeagus, and anal tube, as well as in possession by Eremonidiopsis of dorsolateral keels on the uncus. Finally, the shape of the male eight sternum differs as well the male seventh sternum which is modified only in Eremonidiopsis aggregata. Compared to other Dioptinae, Eremonidiopsis is distinctive by having FW veins M 3 and CuA 1 separate, whereas in most Dioptinae these veins are stalked (Miller 2009). The radial system branching pattern also differs from the typical Dioptinae one, [Rs 2 + Rs 3] + Rs 4 (Miller 2009). Eremonidiopsis exhibits a color pattern similar to some species of Scotura Walker, 1854; however, the latter possesses ciliate male antennae, a shorter FW discal cell, and a stridulatory organ, among others differences. The phylogenetic position of the new genus will be better understood when females and larvae are available. Although some characters suggest a relation with Eremonidia, the lack of FW stridulatory organ and different tympanum of Eremonidiopsis imply that may be is closer to some other clade within the Dioptinae.	en	Aguila, Rayner Nunez (2013): Eremonidiopsis aggregata, gen. n., sp. n. from Cuba, the third West Indian Dioptinae (Lepidoptera, Notodontidae).

7BA103565275377DF3E13E45B7409261.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The generic name Eremonidiopsis is derived from the name of its Hispaniolan relative Eremonidia. The suffix - opsis refers to the resemblance of the Cuban genus to the Hispaniolan one.	en	Aguila, Rayner Nunez (2013): Eremonidiopsis aggregata, gen. n., sp. n. from Cuba, the third West Indian Dioptinae (Lepidoptera, Notodontidae).

6E009F4C14FBED022216E8CCE22D7A30.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The uniform dark brown wing pattern of Eremonidiopsis aggregata is present only in Scotura nigricaput Dogninand Scotura flavicapilla (Huebner) among all Dioptinae. Eremonidiopsis aggregata can be easily separated from the first by its yellowish-orange collar and from the second by lacking yellowish color at other areas of the head such as the front and the vertex. In addition, many other features allow separation of Eremonidiopsis from Scotura including the possession of bipectinate antennae, a longer discal cell, absence of the FW stridulatory organ, and absence of the Barth's Organ in the male genitalia among other features.	en	Aguila, Rayner Nunez (2013): Eremonidiopsis aggregata, gen. n., sp. n. from Cuba, the third West Indian Dioptinae (Lepidoptera, Notodontidae).
