Scea bryki Hering Plate View in CoL 35
Scea bryki Hering, 1943: 5 View in CoL .
TYPE LOCALITY: Peru, Vilcanota (Pr. Cuzco), 3000 m.
TYPE: Holotype ♀, leg. O. Garlepp, 1898 ( ZMH).
DISCUSSION: Scea bryki is known from two specimens —the female holotype (pl. 35) and a female in the MUSM collection (Lima, Peru). Although the wing pattern of S. bryki resembles that of S. erasa (pl. 35) in lacking black veins in the orange FW area, the moth is significantly smaller (see species key). Its female genitalia are also fundamentally different from those of S. erasa , indicating that the two may not be particularly close relatives within Scea . The CB of S. bryki is simple and unornamented, bearing an ovoid signum with long internal spines. The CB of S. erasa , on the other hand, exhibits a spectacular series of sclerotized folds at its base, a modified version of the ones found in Scea cleonica (fig. 350E) and others.
This is the last dioptine species Hering described; its description was published nearly 20 years after his contribution to Seitz ( Hering, 1925). It will be important to obtain additional material of S. bryki , especially males, for future study.
DISTRIBUTION: Peru (MUSM, ZMH).
DISSECTED: Holotype ♀ (genitalia slide no. JSM-1766 ).
