Hypatopa hera Adamski View in CoL , new species
( Figs. 157–158 View FIGURES 153 – 158 , 365 View FIGURES 360 – 367 , Map 30)
Diagnosis.— Hypatopa hera is similar to H. limae and H. arxcis in facies but differs from the latter two by having a wider uncus; a more widely serrate margin of the proximal flange of the dorsal part of the valva; a more bulbous base of the phallus; and a narrower base of the anellus. H. hera also has a straight digitate process of the dorsal part of the valva that is lacking in H. limae and H. arxcis .
Description.—Head: Vertex and frontoclypeus pale brown. Outer surface of labial palpus pale brown intermixed with few brown scales, inner surface pale brown. Antennal scape and pecten pale brown, flagellum brown basally gradually brightening apically. Proboscis pale brown.
Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum pale brown. Legs pale brown. Forewing ( Fig. 365 View FIGURES 360 – 367 ): Length 5.5 mm (n = 1), pale brown. Undersurface brown. Hindwing: Translucent pale brown [specimen worn].
Abdomen: Male genitalia ( Figs. 157–158 View FIGURES 153 – 158 ): Uncus narrowed from widened base to subapical region, acutely downcurved and narrowly rounded apically, sparsely setose, shorter than width of anal opening. Gnathos, narrow ring, confluent with tegumen, ventroposterior margin narrowly emarginate mesially. Sockets of tergal setae not extending beyond midlength of tegumen. Valva divided; ventral part basally protracted inwardly, gradually widened to near middle, abruptly narrowed apically to area beneath base of inwardly curved, spinelike process; process setose on outer surface, planate on inner surface; ventral margin sparsely setose; dorsal part with apical portion of costa extending dorsolaterally, forming setose digitate process; basal ridge of digitate process extending ventrally fusing with dorsal ridge of proximal flange; flange ellipsoid, bearing densely packed microtrichiae on upper 2/3, densely packed spinelike setae on lower 1/3; margin widely serrate. Juxta bandlike. Vinculum semicircular. Phallus and sclerite of phallus longer than valva; phallus straight, bulbous basally, sclerite of phallus sigmoid-shaped; anellus gradually narrowed from base, apex shallowly notched mesially, setose along midregion. Female Genitalia: Unknown.
