Diagnostic characters

(1) disc of hind wings red ( Fig. 7A View Figs 7–9. — 7 ); (2) tegmina orange to red with 3 large black patches on costal cell and one at base of clavus ( Fig. 7A View Figs 7–9. — 7 ); (3) cephalic process strongly curved dorsad ( Fig. 7D View Figs 7–9. — 7 ); (4) largesized (more than 24 mm long); (5) head orange ( Fig. 7C–E View Figs 7–9. — 7 ).

LT: ♂ (n = 12) 27.8 mm (24.6–30.1); ♀ (n = 17) 34.5 mm (32.5–38.2).

Material examined

Holotype

MADAGASCAR: ♀, [Manjakandriana, Madagascar] [Type] [ Belbina lambertoni Lall, V. Lallemand det., 195] ( FSAG).

Paratypes

MADAGASCAR: 5 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀, [Manjakandriana, Madagascar] [Paratype] ( FSAG; 1 ♀: MRAC); 1 ♀, [Manjakandriana, Madagascar] [Type] [ Belbina lambertoni Lall, V. Lallemand det., 1959] [ NHRS- HEMI 000000104] ( NHRS); 1 ♀, [Manjakandriana, Madagascar] [Paratype] [Musée du Congo] [ Belbina lambertoni Lall, V. Lallemand det., 195], 18°55’ S, 47°48’ E ( MRAC).

Note: Lallemand (1922, 1959) stated that the type and paratypes are in his collection. It seems, however, that he subsequently gave one paratype to NHRS and two to MRAC.

Examined on photograph

MADAGASCAR: 1 ♂, Berenty Reserve, riverine forest, 25°00’20” S, 46’18’10” E, 15 Nov. 2008, Jason Cryan ( Fig. 39 View Figs 36–42 ).

Male genitalia

Bright red ( Figs 24–25 View Figs 24–29 ); pygofer higher than long and with posterior margin bisinuate in lateral view ( Fig. 24 View Figs 24–29 ); anal tube slightly elongate, 1.1 times longer than broad at apex and with lateral margins slightly bisinuate, slightly concave on apical half in dorsal view ( Fig. 25 View Figs 24–29 ); posterior margin slightly notched in lateral view ( Fig. 24 View Figs 24–29 ), with hind margin of anal opening pointed posteriorly in lateral view ( Fig. 24 View Figs 24–29 ) and hiding lateral margin apically in dorsal view ( Fig. 25 View Figs 24–29 ); gonostyli elongate, 1.12 times longer than high (dorsal process included), surpassing anal tube and rounded at apex in lateral view ( Fig. 24 View Figs 24–29 ); ventral margin straight on basal 1/6, then slightly sinuate ( Fig. 24 View Figs 24–29 ); dorsal margin with basal, strong digitiform process projecting laterodorsally, strong hook laterally at middle of process projecting posteroventrally and posterior margin of process sinuate between apex and hook ( Fig. 24 View Figs 24–29 ); apex of digitiform process rounded and broad in lateral and dorsal view ( Figs 24–25 View Figs 24–29 ).

Remarks

Belbina lambertoni is a member of the falleni + group, showing a strong basodorsal digitiform process on the gonostyli. It can be separated (1) from B. bloetei by the less concave ventral margin and more rounded apex of the gonostyli in lateral view; (2) from B. falleni by the round cross section of the digitiform process and the more rounded apex of the gonostyli in lateral view; (3) from B. laetitiae sp. nov. by the anal tube being less curved posteriorly in lateral view and less elongate in dorsal view; (4)

from B. pionneaui by the more rounded apex of the basodorsal digitiform process of the gonostyli and the more strongly notched ventroapical margin of the anal tube under the anal opening in lateral view.
