Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Telemiades Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae), with descriptions of fourteen new species Siewert, Ricardo Russo Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik Casagrande, Mirna Martins Zootaxa 2020 2020-01-09 4721 1 1 111 Siewert, Mielke & Casagrande Siewert, Mielke & Casagrande 2020 [151,739,1088,1115] Insecta Hesperiidae Telemiades Animalia Lepidoptera 67 68 Arthropoda species moa sp. nov.  ( Figs 118, 119, 172, 215)   Diagnosis.  Telemiades moaSiewert, Mielke & Casagrande,  sp. nov.is distinguished from the other species of the “  megallusgroup” by VHW without a white patch. Besides, the purple reflection on DW is stronger than in the other species of “  megallusgroup”.   Description. Head: frons and vertex dark brown, with a few yellow scales. Eyes surrounded by yellow scales. Labial palpi dark brown and greyish, third segment dark brown. Antennae dark brown, base of each segment ventrally cream from half to apiculus; nudum of 26 segments.  Thorax: dorsally dark brown; ventrally dark brown and yellow.  FW:length of males 17 mm(n=1). DFW( Fig. 118): ground color dark brown with purple reflections; four dark brown spots: two cellular (upper and lower) and two discal in CuA 1–CuA 2, and CuA 2–2A; three apical hyaline spots in R 3–R 4, R 4–R 5e R 5–M 1; five dark brown submarginal spots in M 1–M 2, M 2–M 3, M 3–CuA 1, CuA 1–CuA 2, and CuA 2–2A.  DHW( Fig. 118): ground color dark brown with purple reflections; two dark brown rounded spots in inferior cellular and CuA2–2A; six submarginal dark spots as an irregular band in Rs–M 1, M 1–M 2, M 2–M 3, M 3–CuA 1, CuA 1–CuA 2, and CuA 2–2A.  VFW( Fig. 119): as DFW; costal margin metallic blue until R 3; spots more evident.  VHW( Fig. 119): as DHW; spots more evident; dark brown spot on anal region.  Abdome: dorsally dark brown; ventrally dark brown and yellow.  Male genitalia( Fig. 172): tegumen rounded; posterior margin with two pairs of lateral apophysis extending until the half size of uncus. Anterior projection of saccus triangular, anterior margin rounded. Uncus short, almost half size of tegumen, distal margin with two lateral rounded apophysis and central region curved ventrally. Valva rectangular, twice longer than wide; costa rectangular; distal projection rounded, with serrated margin and a crest–like projection in the disto–dorsal region; sacculus rectangular, about 1/2 the length of valva. Fultura inferior distally bifid, with distal margin rounded. Aedeagus cylindrical; insertion of manica in proximal third of aedeagus; opening for ejaculatory bulb rounded; distal margin truncated; opening for vesica about 1/3 of size of aedeagus; cornuti as two lines of thin and conic spines, the proximal ones shorter. Female unknown.   Distribution.  Telemiades moa  sp. nov.is currently known only for its typelocality: Parque Nacional da Serra do Divisor, Mâncio Lima, Acre, Brazil.   Etymology.The specific epithet is named after the River Moa, located at Acre state, Brazil.  Taxonomic discussion.  Telemiades moa  sp. nov.is easily distinguished from the other species of the “  megallusgroup” by VHW without the white patch and by the tegumen with one pair of lateral apophysis, especially the shorter aedeagus and the totally sclerotized fultura inferior. However,  T. moa  sp. nov.resembles the other species of the “  megallusgroup” by the purple reflection of the ground color of the wings and by the morphological pattern of the uncus and the valva.   Type material.  Holotypemale deposited at DZUPwith the following labels: /  HOLOTYPUS/  23–30–VIII– 2014, RIO MOA, P[ar]Q.[ue] NAC.[ional] SERRA DO DIVISOR ( SÉDE), MÂNCIO LIMA, ACRE, BRASIL, MIELKE, CASAGRANDE, CARNEIRO, DIAS, DOLIBAINA, SIEWERT & SALIK LEG 7º 26’ 52’’ S, 73º 39’ 55’’/ DZ 32.676/ Holotypus  Telemiades moaSiewert, Mielke & Casagrandedet. 2019/ GEN.
