Vizcaya lombokensis View in CoL sp. nov.

(®gures 6, 52, 53, 70±74)

Length: 5.7 mm.

External characters and colour as in V. adornata Asche (see description of adornata given by Asche, 1990: 160) but diOEers in its smaller size, narrower body, base and basal lateral margins of vertex and central and posterior areas of pronotum pale ochraceous, forewings with apical fuscous patch greatly reduced, very small, narrow and slender, occurring over less than one-third of the apical area, the fuscous stripe at apical costal area very long, clavus and costal margin without distinct fuscous suOEusion (®gure 52) and the right metatibial spur with six teeth (including the apical tooth) (left hind leg missing).

Male genitalia with pygofer (®gures 70, 71) distinctly long ventrally and very short dorsally in lateral aspect, laterodorsal edges distinctly produced caudad, with one distinct, small tooth subapically on dorsal margin; median projection of ventrocaudal margin of pygofer narrrow, nearly V-shaped distally in ventral aspect (®gure 73); paramere (®gure 70) relatively evenly broad, gradually tapered from subbasal part to apex; aedeagus (®gure 74) with shaft expanded mesially, with two short, equal-lengthed, relatively broad, ventrally directed, apical spinose processes, both processes expanded subapically with apex acute.

Etymology. This species is named for its occurrence in Lombok.

Material examined. HOLOTYPE, Indonesia: Lombok , Sapit, 2000 ft, April 1896 (H. Fruhstorfer), [Matsumura’s handwriting] Hygops [sic] curvfascia det. Matsumura ( HUS).

Distribution. Indonesia (Lombok). This is the ®rst report of Vizcaya species from Lombok.

Remarks. This species diOEers from other species by its more slender body (®gure 6). In other respects it is similar to V. adornata Asche but diOEers in the characters noted in the above description.
