Culladia hastiferalis (Walker): Bleszynski, 1970: 52, figs. 9, 15.

MATERIAL

8 ♂, 9 ♀, 43 unsexed specimens (detailed information in Table S1; https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.b8gtht7mh).

DIAGNOSIS

Identification of this species requires examination of genitalic characters. In male genitalia (Fig. 111), the hook-like basal process, the bifid apex of the juxta, and the two oblong cornuti on the vesica separate Culladia hastiferalis from other Culladia species. In female genitalia (Fig. 167), the atrium bursae with two rounded, minutely spined swellings; the lengthy subostial projection; and the crest of sclerotized spines in corpus bursae separates this species from other Culladia species.

DISTRIBUTION

INDONESIA: Sumatra, Java, Moluccas, Papua; MALAYSIA: Sabah; PHILIPPINES: Leyte, Luzon (Antique, Bataan, Batangas, Benguet, Camarines Sur, Quezon), Mindanao (Davao Oriental), Mindoro, Palawan, Panay, Negros; TAIWAN (Bleszynski, 1970a). This species is recorded on all examined islands in the Philippines and is recorded from 120 m to 1050 m in the Philippines and up to 1570 m on Borneo (see Table S1).

DNA BARCODING

The maximum intraspecific p-distance of 0.7% is found between samples MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL07-D09 from Mindanao (Davao) and MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL08-H12 from Negros. A p-distance of 3.1-4.3% is observed between specimens from Luzon and those from Australia retrieved from BOLD.
