Cirrothaumatia moyobamba Heppner & Bae, new species

(Figs. 3, 6, 12, 18)

Type-locality: Rumipata Lodge, Moyobamba, Dept. San Martín, Peru.

Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished by the very short ductus bursae (Fig. 6) (one-half the length of the previous new species) and a small ovate bursa with a large accessory bursa (larger than the bursa).

Description. Wing expanse: 12.4 mm female (n = 1). Female (Fig. 3). As in C. pichita n. sp., but with the following particulars: Head (Fig. 3a–b): caudo-lateral scale tufts white-tan, to dark brown-gray caudally; labial palpus mostly tan, with many tan to brown-gray scales laterally on all segments, with black-brown scales dorsally on apical segment; antenna scape brown-tan. Thorax: mostly dark brown mottled with orange scales, and more orange on metathorax; patagia and tegula similar. Forewing (Fig. 3) darker than in C. pichita n. sp., with much smaller areas of white scaling; black-brown bar adjacent to orange tornal spot mesally larger, and subterminal brown-gray fascia wider, more curved and with distal knob-like extension obsolete. Hindwing (Fig. 3) brown and somewhat less translucent than in C. pichita n. sp.

Abdomen. Female genitalia (Fig. 6) as in C. huemboana n. sp. but caudal end of ductus bursae short and more funnel-like (Fig. 6a), with slight constriction prior to remainder of short ductus bursae; corpus bursae ovate and small (less than one-half size of bursa of other species); cestum reduced; accessory bursae very large (larger than corpus bursae). Male. Unknown.

Type materials. Holotype. Female, Rumipata Lodge (970 m), Moyobamba, Dept. San Martín, Peru, 13–17 Oct 2012, J. B. Heppner & C. Carrera (gen. slide JBH-4470; adult photo 15858) (deposited at MGCL, on indefinite loan from UNALM).

Etymology. The species is named after Moyobamba, a town in northern Dept. San Martín, northern Peru.

Biology. Unknown. Habitat submontane Andean forest (Fig. 12).

Distribution. Known only from the eastern Andean submontane site at Rumipata Lodge (970 m), by the town of Moyobamba (Fig. 12), a mountain upland area in Dept. San Martín. This locality is on the eastern side of the Andes Range of northern Peru (Fig. 18).

Discussion. The female genitalia of C. moyobamba differ considerably from other species of the genus, but the wing maculation is much the same, so discovery of the male is needed to help elucidate relationships.
