HAEMATEULIA Razowski, 1999

Haemateulia Razowski, 1999c: 70 ; Brown, 2000b: 110; Brown and McPherson, 2002: 137; Razowski and Gonzalez, 2003: 61.

Type species: Eulia haematitis Meyrick, 1931 , by original designation.

Diagnosis. Razowski (1999c) initially included three species in Haemateulia : haematitis (Meyrick) , galenia Razowski , and acmanthes (Meyrick) . Brown (2000b) transferred acmanthes to Acmanthina , and above we transferred galenia to Ptychocroca . As defined herein, Haemateulia consists of H. haematitis (Meyrick) and H. barrigana Razowski and González. Male genitalia of the two are characterized by a moderately short uncus, long, broad socii (extending beyond the gnathos tip), a rounded­rectangular valva, and a long, slender, curved aedeagus without cornuti ( Figs. 10, 11 ). A short process subdistally from the venter of the gnathos arms and a moderately large, rectangular membranous region at the base of the valva appear to represent synapomorphies for the genus. Males of the two species are easily distinguished by the shape of the antenna (strongly serrate in H. haematitis and simple in H. barrigana ), the weakly undulate venter and costa of the valva in H. haematitis (both of which are nearly evenly curved in H. barrigana ), and the finely setose sacculus of H. haematitis (smooth in H. barrigana ). Females are characterized by a broad, evenly sclerotized plate surrounding the ostium and a deep notch at the posterior edge of tergum 8, both of which appear to represent synapomorphies for the genus ( Figs. 22, 23 ).
