Aurotalis hermione Bassi 1999
Aurotalis hermione Bassi, 1999 Aurotalis hermione Bassi, 1999: 58, 59, figs 5, 11, 12. Type locality: Zambia. Diagnosis: The orange median fascia in the forewings, with ill-defined subterminal fascia and dorsum chestnut brown are diagnostic, as well as the vesica with two cornuti, as congeners do not have any cornuti or only one. Description: Bassi (1999: 58-59). Male genitalia: Bassi, 1999 (59, figs 11, 12). Distribution: Zambia. Remarks: The female is still unknown.Published as part of Graziano Bassi, 2016, Studies on Afrotropical Crambinae (Lepidoptera, Pyraloidea, Crambidae): Notes on the genus Aurotalis Błeszyński, 1970, pp. 11-20 in Revue suisse de Zoologie 123 (1) on page 19, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4628
Aurotalis similis Bassi 1999
Aurotalis similis Bassi, 1999 Fig. 6 Aurotalis similis Bassi, 1999: 59, figs 6, 16-20. Type locality: RSA. Diagnosis: This species is similar in size and wing markings to A. nigrisquamalis (Hampson) and A. dionisa Błeszyński, but the forewing ground colour is darker with narrow, orange, median and subterminal fasciae, and the hindwings are white suffused brown. In male genitalia, the phallus with a single blunt cornutus will separate this species from other members of the genus. In female genitalia, the ductus bursae funnelshaped and lightly sclerotized only near corpus bursae is diagnostic.Published as part of Graziano Bassi, 2016, Studies on Afrotropical Crambinae (Lepidoptera, Pyraloidea, Crambidae): Notes on the genus Aurotalis Błeszyński, 1970, pp. 11-20 in Revue suisse de Zoologie 123 (1) on page 20, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4628
Aurotalis nigrisquamalis Hampson 1919
Aurotalis nigrisquamalis (Hampson, 1919) Figs 4, 9, 19, 20 Conotalis nigrisquamalis Hampson, 1919b: 151. Type locality: RSA. Diagnosis: This species is similar in size and wing markings to A. dionisa Błeszyński (Fig. 5) and A. similis Bassi (Fig. 6) but the forewing ground colour is yellow with orange medial and subterminal fasciae, and the hindwings are yellow suffused brown with a partial subterminal dark line. In the male genitalia the bifurcate gnathos, the stout valva, and the phallus with two lateral sclerotized bands will readily separate this species from other members of the genus. In the female genitalia, the papillae anales with upturned ventral tip and the ductus bursae short and strongly sclerotized are diagnostic. Additions to original description: Fresh adult habitus as in Fig. 4. Sclerotizations of abdominal segment VIII as in Fig. 19. Male genitalia. Whole genitalia as in Fig. 9, with the ventral enlargement close to the uncus tip, bilobed gnathos, and phallus with two lateral and medio-distal sclerotized bands. Female genitalia (Fig. 20): Papillae anales stout, upturned posteriorly and with globular bottom down bulge. Ductus bursae short, irregularly sclerotized. Corpus bursae suboval, lightly wrinkled. Ductus ejaculatorius opening in small enlargement of proximal third of corpus bursae.

Aurotalis delicatalis Hampson 1919
Aurotalis delicatalis (Hampson, 1919) Figs 2, 15, 16, 21 Ommatopteryx delicatalis Hampson, 1919a: 535. Euchromius delicatalis (Hampson, 1919). – Błeszyński & Col- lins, 1962: 305. Aurotalis delicatalis (Hampson, 1919). – Schouten, 1992: 197. Type locality: Malawi. Diagnosis: The male is similar to A. cristata (Fig. 1) in wingspan, but the forewing ground colour is yellow. The metallic silver discoidal lunule, bicolored median fascia in forewings and terminal spots beneath vein 5 distinguish A. delicatalis from the other congeners. The male genitalia are most similar to those of A. similis (Bassi, 1999: 16-19), but the phallus is without cornutus. The female genitalia are distinguished from those of other Aurotalis by the membranous sterigma and the narrow and membranous ductus bursae. Additions to original description: Wingspan from 18 to 26 mm, with males smaller. Male sclerotizations of abdominal segment VIII as in Fig. 16. Female abdominal segment VIII lightly sclerotized. Male genitalia (Fig. 15): Uncus slightly longer than gnathos, apically downcured, apex blunt. Gnathos tapered. Tegumen subtriangular. Vinculum narrow, without dorsal projection. Juxta flat. Peudosaccus small. Valva simple, narrowing apically. Phallus stout; vesica with several scobinations. Female genitalia (Fig. 21): Papillae anales with apical margin straight, ventrally blunt. Both apophyses well developed. Sterigma membranous. Ductus bursae wrinkled, 0.2x length of corpus bursae. Corpus bursae large, suboval, wrinkled and weakly spinulate basally. Ductus ejaculatorius opening in lateral expansion of corpus bursae, proximally at 0.2. Distribution: Malawi, RSA.Published as part of Graziano Bassi, 2016, Studies on Afrotropical Crambinae (Lepidoptera, Pyraloidea, Crambidae): Notes on the genus Aurotalis Błeszyński, 1970, pp. 11-20 in Revue suisse de Zoologie 123 (1) on page 18, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4628
Aurotalis dionisa Bleszynski 1970
Aurotalis dionisa Błeszyński, 1970 Figs 5, 13, 18, 22, 23 Aurotalis dionisa Błeszyński, 1970: 20. Type locality: Angola. Diagnosis: This species is similar in size and wing markings to A. nigrisquamalis (Hampson) (Fig. 4) and A. similis Bassi (Fig. 6) but the forewing ground colour is paler with pale yellow medial and subterminal fasciae, and the hindwings are white. Males also differ by the bipectinate antennae as opposed to only serrate antennae in A. similis. In male genitalia the gnathos stout and upcurved, the tapered cucullus of valva and the phallus with bulged phallobase and strongly downcurved distally will readily separate this species from other members of the genus. In the female genitalia, the relatively long ductus bursae, with a semicircular sclerotization, is diagnostic. Additions to original description (Fig. 5): Wingspan 20-28 mm, males distinctly smaller. Forewing ground colour thickly dotted with black scales; longitudinal streaks white and blackish brown, expanding between veins after cell; subterminal fascia large, silvery white bordered yellow; fringes golden yellow with short scales tipped black. Hindwing white with veins suffused pale yellow with fringes white. Sclerotizations of male abdominal segment VIII as in Fig. 18. Male genitalia.

Deposited in CGB, MHNG, MFNB and TMSA.</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis</b>: At least in Zimbabwe, <i>A. cristata</i> (Fig. 1) co-occurs with <i>A. similis</i> Bassi (Fig. 6), but it is clearly smaller (14-20 mm versus 22-26 mm respectively), it has a double subterminal fascia and no longitudinal white lines. It shares a wingspan similar to males of <i>A. delicatalis</i> (Hampson), but it is darker, with the forewing narrower and with the ground colour white. Male genitalia of <i>A. cristata</i> (Fig. 26) can be distinguished from those of congeners by the narrow, tapering and pointed uncus, the presence of a saccular process on the valva and the juxta subcylindrical and with a finger-like projection. The female genitalia (Figs 12, 27) are small and with a sclerotized ductus bursae, in comparison to the larger and membranous ductus bursae of <i>A. delicatalis</i> (Fig. 21).</p> <p> <b>Etymology</b>: The name derives from the Latin <i>cristatus-a,</i> crested, and refers to the shape of the gnathos in the male genitalia.</p> <p> <b>Description</b> (Fig. 1): Wingspan 14-20 mm. Labial palpi 3× longer than widest diameter of eye, black and white. Frons rounded, clearly produced, black with outer margin white. Antennae serrate, narrower in female, brown; costa with narrow band of scales white and black. Ocelli and chetosemata poorly developed. Head with raised scales, medially black, laterally white. Patagia white with basal scales black. Tegulae white with black spot in middle. Thorax white with black scales. Abdomen yellowish white with anal tuft pure white. Forewing ground colour white with black markings over all surface and brown patches along costa; median fascia wavy, brown with some additional black scales; subterminal fascia broad, wavy, with margins brown, silvery white in middle; postmedian spot silvery white bordered with brown and black; five black submarginal spots; outer margin black from apex to mid-termen; fringe tricolored with basis white, middle black and outer margin silvery white except at termen, completely silvery white. Hindwing grey to white suffused grey in some ♀♀; fringe white. Male sclerotizations of abdominal segment VIII as in Fig. 17. Female abdominal segment VIII with sternite unsclerotized and tergite narrow and laterally more sclerotized.</p> <p>Male genitalia (Fig. 26): Uncus shorter than gnathos, narrow, with pointed tip. Gnathos broad, straight, with rounded apex and dorsal crest-like sclerotization. Tegumen dorsally fused with uncus, broad membranous area at base of uncus, gnathos and tegumen. Tegumen subtriangular, narrowing toward vinculum. Vinculum narrow, with moderate v-shaped dorsal projection. Juxta subcylindrical, well sclerotized, with finger-like dorsal process. Valva 1.2× length of phallus, with large membranous basal area; cucullus rounded; costa simple, slightly bent; single saccular process small and rounded; harpe with wrinkled sclerotization. Phallus simple, with dorsal bulge in postmedian area; vesica with several thin scobinations.</p> <p>Female genitalia (Figs 12, 27): Papillae anales broad and well sclerotized, dorsally bulged.

Aurotalis Bleszynski 1970
Genus <i>Aurotalis</i> Błeszyński, 1970 <p> <i>Aurotalis</i> Błeszyński, 1970: 20, type species <i>Aurotalis dionisa</i></p> <p>Błeszyński, 1970, by original designation.</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis:</b> So far, the only diagnostic character for <i>Aurotalis</i> is the presence in female genitalia (on the papillae anales) of strong setae originating from the tips of short projections in the highly corrugated upper surface. Adults are distinguished from those of the most closely related genera in having long labial palpi, associated with the forewing colour being at least partly white.</p> <p> <b>Redescription</b> (Figs 1 -6): Ocelli and chaetosemata well developed. Labial palpi three times or more as long as the maximum diameter of the composite eye in side view. Forewing at least partly white. Wing venation of <i>A. nigrisquamalis</i>, slightly different from that of <i>A. delicatalis</i> as illustrated by Schouten (1992: 192, fig. 2): in forewing R1 present and free, not connected to Sc; R2 free; R3 connected with R4 at 3/4; R5 free; M1 from middle of cell; cell opened between R5 and M2; M2 and M3 not stalked; CuA1 from lower corner of cell; CuA2 at distal 1/3 of cell; 1A+2A strong. Hindwing with Sc connected to Rs at distal 1/3; M1 free, visible only distally; M3 connecting to M2 and Cu1 at distal 1/3, Cu2 connecting to M2 at half of length; a1, a2 and a3 unforked. Colours tend to become faint in old specimens. Abdominal segment VIII, simple and narrow in the female, shows distinguishing sclerotizations in the male (Figs 16-19, 30).</p> <p>Manuscript accepted 24.07.2015 DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.46283</p> <p>Tympanal organs (Fig. 23-25). Transverse ridge round- ed. Tympanic bridge well developed, lightly sclerotized. Tympanic drum ovoid. Venulae secundae well developed, concave. The well developed and lightly sclerotized tympanic bridge seems to be the more constant feature through the genus, other characteristics being rather variable.</p> <p>Male genitalia (Figs 9, 13-15, 26, 29, 30): Uncus more or less apically downcurved. Gnathos strongly upcurved while being straight, simple or bifid. Tegumen and valva stout being tapering. Vinculum without or with small dorsal projection. Pseudosaccus small. Phallus stout to elongate, with maximum two cornuti.</p> <p>Female genitalia (Figs 12, 20-22, 27, 28): Papillae anales with strong setae on upper surface, originating from tips of short projection of highly corrugated membrane. Both apophyses strongly developed. Ostium bursae and sterigma membranous. Corpus bursae suboval, without signa.</p> Systematic position: This genus is part of the <i>Ancylolomia</i> Hübner complex of genera (Bassi, <p> 2013). Błeszyński (1970: 20) claimed that is closest to <i>Conotalis</i> Hampson, but the most closely related genus seems to be <i>Prionotalis</i> Hampson 1919b: 152, as in <i>Conotalis</i> species the phallus has a long cornutus, a feature never seen in <i>Aurotalis</i>. The relatively short valva, strong vinculum and tegumen, phallus about as long as valva in male genitalia suggest that both <i>Aurotalis</i> and <i>Prionotalis</i> are closely related to the <i>locupletella</i> group of <i>Ancylolomia</i> (Figs 7-9). In the same way, female genitalia are similar in these three groups in the stout papillae anales and corpus bursae, and in the ductus ejaculatorius departing from the corpus bursae (Figs 10-12).</p> <p> <b>Biology</b>: Early stages are unknown, probably feeding in grasslands. The adults are easily attracted by light.</p> <p> <b>Distribution:</b> The genus seems to be distributed through the highlands and mountains from Austral Africa to Kenya. However, only one species, <i>A. nigrisquamalis</i> (Hampson) is a common moth in RSA and Swaziland.</p> <p> <b>Remarks</b>: The morphological character evolution appears very diversified, especially those of the genitalia.</p> <p> <b> Key to the species of <i>Aurotalis</i> Błeszyński</b> </p> <p> 1a Forewing ground colour white................................................................................................................................. 3 1b Forewing ground colour not white........................................................................................................................... 2 2a Forewing ground colour yellow............................................................................................................................... 5 2b Forewing ground colour ochre brown; hindwing brown suffused white basally; male genitalia with juxta u-shaped and phallus clearly divided into two parts....................................................................................... <i>A. dicksoni</i> sp. n. 3a Median and subterminal fasciae on forewing present.............................................................................................. 4 3b Fasciae on forewing absent, ground colour almost entirely white, with only a fulvous tinge along costa; hindwing brown margined white; female genitalia with a globular wrinkled extension at the end of ductus bursae............................................................................................................................................................ <i>A. argyrastis</i> (Hampson) 4a Forewing with orange median fascia, subterminal fascia ill-defined, dorsum chestnut brown and three large dots at tornus; hindwing light brown; male genitalia with two cornuti on vesica.................................... <i>A. hermione</i> Bassi 4b Forewing with double subterminal fascia; hindwing grey suffused white; male genitalia with gnathos stout with dorsal crest-like process and juxta with finger-like dorsal process; female genitalia with papillae anales dorsally bulged, ductus bursae short and sclerotized and corpus bursae proximally spinulate..................... <i>A. cristata</i> sp. n. 4c Forewing with single subterminal fascia; hindwing white suffused grey; male genitalia with vesica with single spatulate cornutus; female genitalia with rather long ductus bursae, lightly sclerotized only close to corpus bursae...................................................................................................................................................... <i>A. similis</i> Bassi 5a Hindwing white........................................................................................................................................................ 6 5b Hindwing yellow suffused grey and brown with yellow fringes; forewing with orange yellow median and subterminal fasciae; male genitalia with bilobed gnathos; female genitalia with papillae anales with ventral upturned tip................................................................................................................................ <i>A. nigrisquamalis</i> (Hampson) 6a Hindwing pure white; forewing with two longitudinal white lines and median and subterminal fasciae yellow; male genitalia with tapered cucullus and narrow and curved phallus; presence of feathery coremata; female genitalia with papillae anales straight margined and semicircular sclerotization in the ductus bursae.............................................................................................................................................................................. <i>A. dionisa</i> Błeszyński 6b Hindwing white suffused yellow; forewing with bicolored median fascia and terminal spots beneath vein 5; male genitalia with phallus stout, shorter than valva and vesica without cornuti; female genitalia with funnel-shaped ductus bursae and large corpus bursae................................................................................ <i>A. delicatalis</i> (Hampson)</p>Published as part of <i>Graziano Bassi, 2016, Studies on Afrotropical Crambinae (Lepidoptera, Pyraloidea, Crambidae): Notes on the genus Aurotalis Błeszyński, 1970, pp. 11-20 in Revue suisse de Zoologie 123 (1)</i> on pages 11-13, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/46283">10.5281/zenodo.46283</a>
