Alonina luteopunctata ( Freina, 2011) View in CoL new comb. ( Monopetalotaxis )

Figs 13–15 View FIGURES 13–24 , 122 View FIGURES 122–123

Literature. Freina 2011: 217.

Specimens examined. Holotype: ♂ “ Südafrika, Eastern Cape Province, ca. 30 km SE Lady Grey, Flusstal nahe Lammergeier , 1600 m, 11.–12.Dec.2004, leg. J.J.de Freina ” ( CFM).

Paratypes: 12 ♂ from the same locality (CFM); 1 ♂ ( Figs 13–14 View FIGURES 13–24 ), Cape, Kubusi Forest, 8.Jan.1983, N.J. Duke leg.; 1 ♀ ( Figs 15 View FIGURES 13–24 ), Cape, Hogsback, 12.Feb.1986, N.J. Duke leg. (gen. prep. Bartsch 2013–12, Fig. 122 View FIGURES 122–123 ) (TMPS). Freina (2011) regarded this species as being close to Monopetalotaxis doleriformis and Alonina pyrocraspis ( Hampson, 1910) (as Monopetalotaxis ). Taking features of the male antenna and the genitalia into account, a close relationship to the latter species is confirmed and therefore Alonina luteopunctata is here transferred to Alonina . For differentiation from related species see diagnosis of A. pyretra , A. pyrocraspis and A. rufa below. The female genitalia ( Fig. 112 View FIGURES 111–112 ) are figured fore first time.
