Description of a new species of Enispa Walker, 1866 (Lepidoptera: Erebidae, Boletobiinae) from Thailand Pellinen, Markku J. Zootaxa 2017 4272 4 587 590 Pellinen Pellinen [151,467,1771,1798] Insecta Noctuidae Enispa Animalia Lepidoptera 0 587 Arthropoda species rosellaria sp. nov.     Typematerial. Holotype: male, Thailand, Lampang, Phichai, 18°18.15´N 99°31.06´E  240 m,  01.vii.2012, leg. M. Pellinen, gen. slide MJP 847; in coll. M. Pellinen, to be deposited later in public museum.   Paratypes: males: 1 ex. Thailand, Lampang, Muban Phichai, 18°18.15´N 99°31.06´E  240 m,  10.viii.2007, 1 ex. idem,  01.ix.2007, 1 ex. idem,  18.ix.2013, 1 ex. idem,  23.x.2015, 1 ex. idem,  14.xi.2015(all in coll M.

Pellinen).   Diagnosis.The new species ( Figs. 1a, b) resembles externally  Enispa elataria( Figs. 3a, b), but can be separated from it by more clear reddish colour,  E. elatariabeing usually more yellowish. Also wings are less angled, especially hindwing. The white discal spot of hindwing is feeble in  E. rosellariabut quite distinct in  E. elataria.  Enispa rosellus( Figs. 2a, b) is externally quite different with white patches in fore and hind wings. In  rosellariathey are more stripelike.   FIGURE 1–3. 1,  Enispa rosellaria sp.n.a. Thailand, Lampang, Muban Phichai, 0 1.07.2014. male (paratype) b.

Thailand, Lampang, Muban Phichai, 26.01.2014. b. Thailand, Lampang, Muban Phichai, 27.01.2013 By male genitalia  E. rosellaria( Fig. 4a) is closer to  E. rosellus( Fig. 5a) than to  E. elataria( Fig. 6a). Unci in  E. rosellariaand  E. rosellusare alike, as valvae, except for digitate saccular processes, which reach apex of cucullus in  E. rosellariawhile in  E. rosellusthere is an incurved costal spine that extends beyond apex of the cucullus. In  E. elatariauncus is straight with strong setae, and digitate saccular process is short and slender. Vesica of  E. rosellariahas diverticula perpendicular to each other, and has also a batch of scobination in distal part. Female genitalia of  E. rosellaria( Fig. 4c) differ from  E. rosellus( Fig. 5c) by broader and somewhat longer antrum. In  E. elataria( Fig. 6c) antrum is clearly shorther and v-shaped. Same closer relation of  E. rosellariato  E. roselluscontra  E. elatariais shown also in DNA. Genetic distances calculated with K2P method indicate that  E. rosellariaand  E. rosellusare sister species and that  E. elatariais more separated. ( Fig. 7).   Description.Wingspan 10–11 mm, males and females same size. Head: Frons and vertex brown, palpi narrow, upcurved close to the head, brown, antennae in male relatively shortly ciliate and female very shortly ciliate. Thorax and abdomen same color as wings. Legs same color as underside, dirty yellowish. Wings pale, heavily marked vinous red, with white indefinite zigzag stripes on both wings, the postmedial line on forewings being strongest. On forewing there is distinctive dark line from centre of costa to middle of outer margin. Distally to white discal spots on both wings there are one or two small black dots. Margins and forewing costa dark brown with dark shining scales, cilia orange-yellow. Underside color light dirty yellowish grey, with darker suffusion on wing margins, especially more so on hind wings. Male genitalia ( Fig. 4a–b): Vinculum broad U-shaped, tegumen triangular upside down, with somewhat rounded base. Valvae with incurved costal spine, same length as cucullus. Saccus broad, apically rounded. Uncus basally curved with fine setae and hooked tip. Juxta triangular, weak. Aedeagus short and smooth with tiny scobination distally. Vesica membranous with spiculate batch above base of ductus ejaculatorius.   FIGURE 4–6. 4,  Enispa rosellaria sp.n.a,b.

Antrum elongate thick with small, dull spines. Ductus bursae coiled, about as long as corpus bursae. Bionomy and distribution. The new species occurs in disturbed areas with mixed vegetation. Flight period is all year round, depending on rains. Preimaginal stages are unknown. Caterpillars of Japanese species of  Enispafeed on lichens and use lichen fragments for camouflaging ( Sugi, 1987). So far  E. rosellariahas been found in Northern-Thailand, Lampangand Chiangmai provinces.   Etymology.Name of new species is a combination of  E. rosellusand  E. elataria. 1563126401 2012-07-01 M.
