Morabia Hausmann & Tujuba 2020
No full textMorabia Hausmann & Tujuba, 2020 Tujuba et al. (2020): 71. Type species: Morabia politzari Hausmann & Tujuba, 2020 Characterisation of the genus. The species of the genus are characterised by the ciliate-fasciculate male-, and filiform female antenna, the broad labial palp densely covered in scales and the presence of two pairs of unequal spurs of the hind tibia in both sexes. The coloration of the wing upperside is dull greyish-brown ornamented by zigzagged and gently arcuate blackish antemedial-, medial-, postmedial- and terminal transverse lines and vestigial discal spots. The pattern of the underside of the wings makes the Morabia species unmistakeable due to the pale greyish-ochreous ground colour, the lack of transverse lines, and the presence of large, blackish, round subapical blotches and sharply defined discal spots on both fore- and hindwings. In the male genitalia, the uncus is short and very broad basally (except for M. distinctaria and M. hero where it is narrow, digitiform) and densely setose apically. The valva possesses a well-sclerotized sacculus, a narrow, often strongly setose, tapered distal section, and a large, moderately setose dorsal process (costal arm). The aedeagus is narrow and elongate with the vesica bearing a long, stout cornutus, except for M. distinctaria and M. hero where the aedeagus is relatively short and the cornutus is very short and thin. The female genitalia of the genus are characterised by the relatively long and broad ovipositor bearing very long and thin apophyses, and the short, rounded-quadrangular 8 th tergite. The ostium bursae is moderately sclerotized, funnel- or cup-shaped with weakly sclerotized lamella ante- and postvaginalis. The ductus bursae is relatively long, tubular, distally heavily sclerotized; the corpus bursae is ovoid, membranous with heavily sclerotized signum bursae of variable shape, except in M. politzari which species lacks signum.Published as part of László, Gyula M. & Hausmann, Axel, 2022, Taxonomic review of the genus Morabia Hausmann & Tujuba, 2020 with descriptions of two new species and introducing five new generic combinations (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Ennominae), pp. 215-237 in Zootaxa 5134 (2) on page 216, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5134.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/653485

Prasinocyma immaculata Hausmann, Sciarretta & Parisi, 2016, sp. n.
No full textThe immaculata species-group Eleven species in Ethiopia, including two pairs and one triade of sister species: P. pedicata — P. pseudopedicata sp. n.; P. pumilata — P. tranquilla; P. getachewi sp. n. — P. baumgaertneri sp. n. — P. oblita. The immaculata speciesgroup is very 'robust' in genetical analyses using different alignment parameters, algorhithms, and also when excluding the third codon. Most species are small. In male genitalia the group shows quite uniform characters, the uncus is sometimes dilated (P. getachewi sp. n., P. baumgaertneri sp. n.), the valva long and slender, without or with short projections only, sacculus not sclerotized, aedeagus at centre often with caecum, sternum A 8 without posterior lobes, evenly bordered or sometimes with very narrow, tapering projections.Published as part of Hausmann, Axel, Sciarretta, Andrea & Parisi, Francesco, 2016, The Geometrinae of Ethiopia II: Tribus Hemistolini, genus Prasinocyma (Lepidoptera: Geometridae, Geometrinae), pp. 1-63 in Zootaxa 4065 (1) on page 11, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4065.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/27049

Zeitschrift der Arbeitsgemeinschaft der österreichischen Entomologen 46: 90. Holotype♂ (Cyprus: Paphos) (in ZSM, examined). Type material examined. Holotype, ♂, Zypern, Paphos, e.o. 3.viii.1989, leg. J. Wimmer; Paratypes, 3 ♂, 2 ♀, Zypern, Paphos, e.o., 1.-3.viii.1989, leg. J. Wimmer; in ZSM. Additional material studied: 2 ♂, 3 ♀ (see appendix). Diagnosis. Wingspan ♂29–32 mm, ♀34–42 mm (forewing length ♂16–21 mm, ♀19–23 mm) (figs 20–22). Wings light to chocolate brown, transverse lines strongly pronounced (light to dark brown, basal and terminal areas of forewing and terminal area of hindwing irrorated with red brown scales, medial area of forewing and basal and medial areas of hindwing brighter than rest of the wings in N. waltheri; light brown, orange brown to chocolate brown, transverse lines faint, medial area of forewing and basal and medial areas of hindwings are not clearly delimited in N. muelleri and N. palaestinensis) (figs 4–22). Male genitalia of N. aphrodite with costa of valva sclerotized towards the apex, not humped (costa of valva sclerotized only up to the centre, medially humped N. waltheri; costa of valva sclerotized towards the apex, medially humped in N. muelleri and N. palaestinensis) (figs 89–95). N. aphrodite with strongly curved ampulla superior (ampulla superior twice as thick as ampulla inferior in N. waltheri; ampulla superior narrowing towards the apex in N. muelleri; ampulla superior narrowed at the centre in N. palaestinensis). In N. aphrodite aedeagus apically with a straight digitiform extension (same condition in N. waltheri; digitiform extension curved in N. muelleri; strongly curved in N. palaestinensis). Female genitalia of N. aphrodite with an elongated ovipositor (short and broad ovipositor in N. waltheri, N. palaestinensis and N. muelleri). Apophyses anteriores 1/3 length of apophyses posteriores (same condition in N. waltheri; 1/ 4 in N. palaestinensis; 1/ 6 in N. muelleri) (see figs 128–131). Lamella postvaginalis apically tongue-shaped (strongly sclerotized, conically extended, apically not tongue-shaped in N. waltheri, N. muelleri, N. palaestinensis). Ductus bursae fairly long, without extended sclerotized patch (same condition in N. palaestinensis and N. muelleri; very short with extended sclerotized patch in N. waltheri). Phenology. Flying in the natural habitat during May. A second generation has been observed in breeding experiments, which probably flies during august (Hausmann 1994). Biology. Larva bred on Rosaceae (Crataegus sp., Prunus spinosa). Occurrence of Mediterranean Crataegus sp. in their natural habitats may be an indication on being the natural food plants (see Hausmann 1994). Habitat. In altitudes from 390 up to 850 m. Distribution. Endemic species on Cyprus (Hausmann, 1994) (map 1). DNA barcoding. Nearest species (minimum pairwise distances): N. waltheri (6.9%) (fig. 145).Published as part of Wanke, Dominic, Hausmann, Axel, Krogmann, Lars, Petrányi, Gergely & Rajaei, Hossein, 2020, Taxonomic revision of the genus Nychiodes Lederer, 1853 (Geometridae: Ennominae: Boarmiini) with description of three new species-an integrative approach, pp. 1-61 in Zootaxa 4812 (1) on page 15, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4812.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/394410
