Glaucocharis clytia (Błeszyński, 1966): Gaskin 1974: 192-194, figs. 5, 22.

MATERIAL

Material examined: 7 ♂, 6 ♀ (detailed information in Table S1; https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.b8gtht7mh).

SIMILAR SPECIES

Glaucocharis hamulus sp. n., Glaucocharis kabundukanis sp. n., and Glaucocharis species of the ajaxella group.

DIAGNOSIS

Glaucocharis clytia (Fig. 20) is very similar in the forewing pattern to G. kabundukanis sp. n. and G. hamulus sp. n. In male genitalia (Fig. 77), the bifid costal projection unambiguously separates this species from other Glaucocharis species from the Philippines. The female genitalia (Fig. 136) share the cruciform-shaped signum on corpus bursae with G. kabundukanis sp. n. and species from the ajaxella species group from Papua, but the two sharp prongs of the antrum posterior margin projected posterad separate this species from other Glaucocharis species.

DESCRIPTION OF THE MALE GENITALIA (FIG. 77)

Uncus ca 7/10 X tegumen length, slender, apex pointed, with ventral and dorsal patches of setae. Gnathos 9/10 X uncus length, slender, straight, with small apical tip pointing upwards. Tegumen arms narrow, with subtriangular bump on posterior margin. Costal process with ventral arm ca 1.5 X valva length, dorsal arm much shorter, S-shaped. Valva triangular, dorsal and ventral margins straight, with 3-4 sclerotized bristles at its base, valva apex pointed. Juxta elongate, with apex conspicuously notched. Phallus slen-der, straight. Vesica with one short cornutus.

DISTRIBUTION

INDONESIA: Sumatra. MALAYSIA: Borneo. PHILIPPINES: Mindanao, Mindoro, Negros. Collected at altitudes between 750 and 1300 m.

DNA BARCODING

The highest intraspecific divergence observed is of 4.3% between MFNLEP030 from Negros and MFNLEP031 from Mindoro.

REMARKS

This is the first description of the male genitalia. This species is recorded here for the first time from the Philippines.
