Cheumatopsyche galumata Oláh & Johanson , new species

Fig. 113–116

This species resembles C. longinosnavasi Mey , but the forewings lack any pattern. In addition, the harpagones

are shorter and clearly broader in ventral view. The apicoventral setal lobes are longer in lateral view, and much broader in dorsal view. The endothecal process is clearly rounded, not apically triangular.

Male. Body and wings light brown with even paler pubescence. Maxillary palp segment I shortest, segment II longer, segments III and IV equally long, segment V as long as sum of segments I–IV. Head dorsum light brown, with 7 clearly visible, slightly lighter warts. Proepisternum without swollen setal wart. Protarsal claws asymmetrical, laterally flanked by setal bundles. Two spurs present on each protibiae. Forewing length 7.0 mm, hind wing length 5.0 mm. Forewing crossveins m-cu and cu tangental. Hind wing fork I absent.

Male genitalia. Segment IX fused annularly; tergum shortening gradually, sternum 3 times longer than tergum ( Fig. 113); anterior margin of segment IX convex in lateral view, tergal parts less excised than sternal parts; apical lobe on posterolateral margins bluntly triangular, located well above base of coxopodites, almost at mid-height of segment IX; spine row on posterior margins of segment IX interrupted between apical lobe and apicolateral corner of tergum IX; spines longer on both apicolateral corners of tergum than on apical lobes, medium-sized on apical lobes, shorter and sparser in between. Intersegmental step between segment IX and segment X sloping. Segment X short, nearly triangular in lateral view ( Fig. 113); quadrangular and trilobed in dorsal view ( Fig. 114). Transverse sutures crossing mid part of segment X ( Fig. 113). Longitudinal sutures producing into base of segment X. Setaless mesocaudal lobe forming short triangular plate in dorsal view ( Fig. 114); long, dorsad curving in lateral view ( Fig. 113). Apicoventral setal lobes short, oriented posterad ( Fig. 113), with slightly mesad curving corners in dorsal view ( Fig. 114). Pair of lateral setose areas forming short, elevated warts, located beyond transverse sutures and above longitudinal sutures ( Fig. 113) at mid-length of apicoventral setal lobe bases. Coxopodites extending well beyond apex of segment X, both straight with dilating apices. Harpagones short, slender, slightly curving dorsad, sinuate in lateral view ( Fig. 113). Phallothecal dorsum convex ( Fig. 116), ventrum concave; phallobase not broadening significantly in lateral view; sclerotised endothecal process half-ovoid, phallotremal sclerites forming broad plate in lateral view.
