Diagnosis.
The forewings of H. ignitamaculae sp. nov. display marked basal, median and postmedian reddish orange markings edged with yellow; postmedian patch with undulated basal margin. In male genitalia, the uncus is medially widened, its apex is duck-shaped, ventrally with small bump, and the gnathos is projected into a short, pointed tip. In female genitalia, the well-defined elongated sclerotisation of the corpus bursae with the small slightly curved thorn on its middle is unique to this species.
Similar species.
Hoploscopa isarogensis sp. nov. Forewing markings of H. isarogensis sp. nov. tend more to red. Postmedian patch is triangular with a straight basal margin, and subterminal line is often markedly pale yellow. Examination of genitalia allow unambiguous separation of these species.
Description.
Head. Antennae dorsally with bronze scales. Proboscis white to pale yellow. Maxillary palpi brown, basally pale yellow. Labial palpi brown, ventral base and inner side pale yellow.
Thorax (Fig. 34 View Figures 34–45 ). Collar white. Forewing length: 8.0-9.5 mm (♂ & ♀); forewing ground colour brown; basal patch yellow, with cubital reddish orange line starting from its middle, running distally up to postmedian area; costal field reddish orange; median discoidal stigma trapezoid, reddish orange, edged with yellow; median cubital and dorsal patches yellow, not connected; postmedian patch reddish orange, basal margin undulated, yellow, costal blotch yellow; subterminal field brown to tawny; fringes brown with pale yellow spots. Hindwing pale brown. Forelegs brown. Midlegs brown; tibia distally pale yellow. Hindlegs with femur brown; tibia pale yellow speckled with brown; tarsi brown.
Abdomen. Male sternum A8 posterior margin broadly incurved, with short, rounded lateral projections.
Male genitalia (N = 4) (Fig. 73 View Figures 70–75 ). Uncus medially widened, apex duck beak-shaped, ventrally with a small bump. Gnathos projection triangular, slender, ca. 1/4 of uncus length, with rounded apex. Valva ventral margin nearly straight, dorsal margin convex, apex pointed. Juxta with rounded base, narrowing on basal half, apex blunt. Saccus slightly quadrangular.
Female genitalia (N = 2) (Fig. 113 View Figures 111–114 ). Anterior apophyses with dorsal bump at posterior 1/3. Antrum sclerotisation short, as long as wide. Ductus bursae of medium length, broad, bent at anterior and posterior 1/4. Corpus bursae globular, posterior half reticulated, anterior half with erected papillae, with elongated sclerotised area running from corpus opening to its middle. Thorn on middle of sclerotisation, very small, slightly curved, with dents pointing toward thorn base.
Distribution.
Known from North Sulawesi (Indonesia) at altitudes between 300 m and 1,150 m.
Phylogenetic relationships.
See H. kelama sp. nov.
Etymology.
From the Latin ignitus, set on fire, and macula, spot or blot, in reference to the red and yellow spots of the forewing.
Remarks.
Specimen MTD8238 shows a forewing pattern resembling that of H. ignitamaculae sp. nov., but with markings reduced. However, the thorn is absent in female genitalia.
