Saccharodite satyrus Zelazny , sp. nov.

( Figs. 107, 108, 337)

Description. Forewings broad, 1.7 times longer than wide, length in male about 3.9 mm. Colour stramineous to light brown; fore and middle femora tinted with red. Forewings glassy; lightly infuscated, infuscation slightly darker around apex of clavus, from apex of Cu to base of Ms1, in costal cells, and along anterior apical crossveins; light red marks around last two subcostal sectors; veins bright red, but claval veins, first subcostal sector, Cu, and parts of Cu1 and Ms1b stramineous; 4 spots on base of Sc+R. Hindwings very faintly infuscated, veins reddish. In profile junction of vertex and face slightly angulated; subantennal processes connected to margins of facial carinae by a ridge; rostrum reaching hind coxae. Forewings with Sc+R fork at middle of wing; basal median cell about 2x wider than basal cell between Sc+R and M, a small triangle at base of Ms1. Male genitalia with pygofer narrow. Genital styles widening apically; proximal dorsal process wide at base, gradually narrowing to a pointed tip, which is curved inwards; distal dorsal process long. Aedeagus with apical portion large, bearing two pointed processes at its base, divided by a dorsal, longitudinal groove, and ending in two short lobes; the right, terminal lobe bears minute teeth and is slightly curved to the left.

Etymology. The species name is a Latin name (Satyrus, from the Greek mythology, the horned companion of Bacchus) used in apposition.

Type material. Holotype ♂ (forewing 3.9 mm), INDONESIA: SUMATRA; labels: 1) Fort de Kock / (Sumatra) 920 M. / 1925/ leg. E. Jacobson ( RMNH).

Distribution. Sumatra.

Diagnosis. Saccharodite satyrus shows similarities to Sa. bicornis Zelazny from the Philippines. It can be distinguished by the bases of the fore and middle tibiae lacking red rings, by nearly all forewing veins being red, and by the stem of the male aedeagus lacking a broad lobe on the left side, near the junction with the apical portion.
