Belbina pionneaui Lallemand, 1922: 63 View in CoL (type in FSAG).

Belbina pionneaui View in CoL – Metcalf 1947: 123 (catalogued). — Lallemand 1959: 93, fig. 42 (key, description, lateral view of head). — Constant 2004b: 31 (listed).

Diagnostic characters

(1) disc of hind wings red ( Fig. 10A View Figs 10–12. — 10 ); (2) tegmina dark red with membrane pale brown, numerous black-brown spots ( Fig. 10A View Figs 10–12. — 10 ); (3) cephalic process broad, strongly curved dorsad ( Fig. 10D–E View Figs 10–12. — 10 ); (4) large-sized (more than 25 mm long).

LT: ♂ (n = 3) 25.6 mm (25.1–26.0); ♀ (n = 13) 30.6 mm (25.8–32.9).

Material examined

Holotype

MADAGASCAR: ♀, [Type] [Manjakandriana, Madagascar] [ Belbina pionneaui Lallem. ] ( FSAG).

Paratypes

MADAGASCAR: 2 ♂♂, 6 ♀♀, [Manjakandriana, Madagascar] [Para-type] ( FSAG); 1 ♀, [Manjakandriana, Madagascar] [Para-type] [ Belbina pionneaui Lall, V. Lallemand det., 1959] ( NHRS); 1 ♀, [Manjakandriana, Madagascar] [Para-type] [ Belbina pionneaui Lallemand, V. Lallemand det., 1956], 18°55’ S, 47°48’ E ( NHRS).

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

Additional material

MADAGASCAR: 1♀, Madagascar ( RBINS); 2♀♀,Tananarive, Lamberton,Tananarive (Antananarivo), 18°55’ S, 47°31’ E ( RBINS); 1 ♂, 1 ♀, [“Ambatol...” (unreadable)], Lamberton ( RBINS); 1 ♀, Maroantsetra, Lamberton, 15°26’ S, 49°44’ E ( RBINS); 1 ♂, 4 ♀♀, Tananarive ( NCSU, 1 ♀ *: MNHN); 2 ♂♂, 1 ♀, no data ( NCSU). – The specimen marked with * bears a label [ Belbina pionneaui , cotype, Lallemand]. This specimen is not recognized as a paratype, as Lallemand (1959) stated that all type specimens were from Manjakandriana.

1 ♂ mislabeled “Soekaboemi, Java” has also been examined ( INHS).

Examined on photographs

MADAGASCAR: 4 specimens, Tananarive, Lamberton ( RMNH); 2 specimens, Maroantsetra, Lamberton ( RMNH).

Male genitalia

Dark red ( Figs 30–31 View Figs 30–35 ); pygofer higher than long and with posterior margin straight, slightly rounded on dorsal ¼ in lateral view ( Fig. 30 View Figs 30–35 ); anal tube slightly elongate, 1.28 times longer than broad at apex and with lateral margins bisinuate in dorsal view ( Fig. 31 View Figs 30–35 ); posterior margin broadly rounded in lateral view ( Fig. 30 View Figs 30–35 ) with hind margin of anal opening slightly projecting posteriorly ( Fig. 30 View Figs 30–35 ) and hiding lateral margin apically in dorsal view ( Fig. 31 View Figs 30–35 ); gonostyli elongate, 1.35 times longer than high (dorsal process included), strongly surpassing anal tube and rounded at apex in lateral view ( Fig. 30 View Figs 30–35 ); ventral margin straight on basal 1/5, then sinuate ( Fig. 30 View Figs 30–35 ); dorsal margin with basal digitiform process slightly curved posteriorly and projecting laterodorsally, strong hook laterally at middle of process projecting ventrally ( Figs 30–31 View Figs 30–35 ); digitiform process narrowing from base to apex and acutely rounded apically ( Figs 30–31 View Figs 30–35 ).

Remarks

Belbina pionneaui is a member of the falleni + group, showing a strong basodorsal digitiform process on the gonostyli. It can be separated from all species of the group by having the basodorsal digitiform process of the gonostyli narrowing from the base to the apex and the apical margin of the anal tube not notched under the anal opening in lateral view.

Distribution
