Acronicta digna Volynkin, Matov & Han, 2017, stat. rev.
No full textAcronicta digna species-complex The species-complex belongs to the subgenus Viminia Chapman. Its members are medium-sized moths with wing pattern resembling that of members of the A. (Viminia) lutea Bremer & Grey species-group and some other Viminia species (e.g., Acronicta raphael Oberthür), but male genitalia are similar to those of the A. rumicis (Linnaeus) species-complex, and differ from the latter by a bilobate subbasal diverticulum and presence of only few cornuti in vesica (whereas in the A. rumicis species-complex the subbasal diverticulum is simple, and vesica with a large cluster of spine-like cornuti). The species-complex includes two species, A. digna and A. metaxantha, stat. rev., bona sp.Published as part of Volynkin, Anton V., Matov, Alexej Yu. & Han, Hui-Lin, 2017, On the taxonomy of the genus Acronicta (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae).

No full textGenus <i>Hydredes</i> Volynkin & Matov, gen. n. <p> Type species: <i>Hydredes yakobsoni</i> Matov & Volynkin, <b>sp. n</b>.</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis</b>. The new genus differs from <i>Protarchanara</i> by <i>Photedes</i> -like habitus of adults (small moths, with short and wide forewings), absence of abdominal androconial brushes in males and conspicuous structures of the male and female genitalia. In the male genitalia, <i>Hydredes</i> can be distinguished from <i>Protarchanara</i> by the small and poorly separated cucullus, less sclerotised costa, ventral costal edge with a slight depression medially, costal process forming a right angle with costa, smaller penicular lobes; in the female genitalia, the appendix bursae possess a sclerotised plate.</p> <p> <b>Description</b>. Adult. Relatively small moths. Forewing short, wide, triangular. The wing colouration varies from brown or ochreous brown to pale yellow. Male genitalia. Uncus moderately long, thin, apically pointed; tegumen short, penicular lobes relatively small, rounded. Vinculum short, U-shaped. Valva elongate; clavus smooth; costa poorly sclerotised; costal process long, thin, apically pointed, form an acute angle with costa. Cucullus small, rounded, poorly separated. Corona present. Aedeagus moderately long, slightly curved; vesica with one or two large claw-like cornuti. Female genitalia. Ovipositor weakly sclerotised, pointed. Apophyses anteriores and posteriores thin, long. Antrum broad, with thin sclerotised margin. Ductus bursae short, membranous, its anterior part is sclerotised. Corpus bursae very long, narrow, membranous; its posterior part is sclerotised. Appendix bursae broad, bulbous, strongly sclerotised, ventrally with strongly sclerotised semilunar plate.</p> <p> <b>Etymology</b>.

The new species is close to H. praecipua and H. yakobsoni. It externally differs from H. praecipua by paler, ochreous-brown colouration of forewings; from H. yakobsoni it differs by dark ochreous-brown colouration of forewings, much darker, brownish hindwing and more expressed pattern with brown, almost straight postmedial line. The male genitalia of H. shchetkini differ from H. praecipua by narrower uncus with obtuse apex, somewhat smaller cucullus, somewhat shorter digitus, broader vesica and thinner claw-like cornutus with more acute tip; from H. yakobsoni differ by pointed apex of uncus, less separated cucullus, shorter digitus, subbasally broader vesica, longer and thinner cornutus with more pointed tip; from H. delattini differ by smaller juxta, larger and more separated cucullus, shorter digitus and costal process and the presence of only one cornutus in the vesica. The female genitalia differ from H. yakobsoni by shorter apophyses anteriores, narrower antrum and semilunar sclerotised plate of appendix bursae. Description. Adult (Figs 6–9). Wingspan 25–27 mm, length of forewing 10–11 mm. Head and palpi greyishbrown, palpi short, upcurved. Forewing short, triangular. Ground colour of forewing ochreous-brown. Pattern diffuse. Antemedial line indistinct, present as pale, almost straight line; postmedial line thin, pale, more or less diffuse, almost straight, somewhat curved on the cell; subterminal line pale, thin, indistinct, irregularly wavy. Orbicular and reniform indistinct, with diffuse, thin pale border. Cilia short, brown. Ground colour of hindwing monotonous brown or ochreous-brown, basally somewhat paler. Cilia brown. Male genitalia (Figs 33, 34). Uncus moderately long, narrow, curved, apically obtuse. Tegumen short, penicular lobes relatively small, rounded. Juxta wide, pentagonal. Vinculum short, U-shaped. Valva elongate, narrow; clavus smooth, costa weakly sclerotised; digitus moderately long, thin, apically pointed, form an acute angle with costa. Cucullus small, rounded, hardly separated; corona present. Aedeagus moderately long, distally slightly curved; vesica membranous, broad, dorsally directed, its distal part with long, robust, apically pointed claw-like cornutus. Female genitalia (Fig. 48). Ovipositor weakly sclerotised, pointed. Apophyses anteriores and posteriores thin, long. Antrum broad, with thin sclerotised margin. Ductus bursae short, membranous, its anterior part sclerotised. Corpus bursae very long, narrow, membranous, its posterior part sclerotised. Appendix bursae broad, bulbous, strongly sclerotised, ventrally with strongly sclerotised semilunar plate. Distribution. The species is known from two localities in the Vakhsh Valley, southwestern Tajikistan. Etymology. The species name is dedicated to Yu. Shchetkin, the collector of most of the types.Published as part of Volynkin, Anton V., Matov, Alexej Yu., Gyulai, Péter & Behounek, Gottfried, 2014, A revision of the genus Protarchanara Beck, 1999 with description of a new genus and three new species (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Xyleninae), pp. 165-178 in Zootaxa 3755 (2) on pages 167-168, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3755.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/22834
