Thyrocopa kanaloa Medeiros, 2009, sp. nov.
No full text15. Thyrocopa kanaloa sp. nov. (Figs. 32, 81) Holotype: UNITED STATES: HAWAII: Kahoolawe: Kealaikahiki, Keana Keiki beach: 1 3 (slide 08A 54), 21 Oct 2008, M.J. Medeiros (BPBM). Paratypes: UNITED STATES: HAWAII: Kahoolawe: Kealaikahiki, Keana Keiki beach: 2 3, 21 Oct 2008, M.J. Medeiros (BPBM). Diagnosis: The only other Thyrocopa found on Kahoolawe, T. epicapna, can be separated from T. kanaloa by its much more shallowly cleft uncus. Description: Head: Scales mottled very light brown to black. Antenna ca. 0.8x forewing length; very dense, very short, piliform cilia on ventral side of flagellomere on male, female unknown. Labial palpus mottled very light brown to black; third segment ca. 1.0–1.2x length of second. Thorax: Mottled very light brown to black. Forewing length 7–8 mm; ground color mottled very light brown to black; discal area sometimes with one or more very small, faint black spots in cell. Hindwing very light brown. Abdomen: Dark brown. Male genitalia (Fig. 81) with uncus moderately apically cleft; sacculus long, with sharp, scooped-out appearing tip. Female genitalia unknown. Food plants: Unknown. Flight period: At least October. Distribution: Kahoolawe. Remarks: The three male specimens were collected on a single night in October 2008. Etymology: This species in named after the Hawaiian god Kanaloa, the deity of Kahoolawe.Published as part of Medeiros, Matthew J., 2009, A revision of the endemic Hawaiian genus Thyrocopa (Lepidoptera: Xyloryctidae: Xyloryctinae), pp. 1-47 in Zootaxa 2202 on page 27, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27511

Clarke), 1905, Palmer (BMNH), designated by Zimmerman 1978: figs. 652, 682 (as “ holotype ”). Thyrocopa acetosa Meyrick; Zimmerman, 1978: 937, figs. 652, 682. Diagnosis: The single female specimen lacks a distinctive diagnostic feature; see Remarks. Description: Head: Scales generally brown with light brown near apex. Antenna [mostly broken] with a few short, piliform cilia. Labial palpus mottled brown and light brown; third segment ca. 0.8x length of second. Thorax: Brown. Forewing length 10 mm; forewing ground color mottled light whitish-brown and brown; discal area clouded with poorly defined blackish spots; spots on distal half of costa and along termen at vein endings not visible [possibly rubbed]. Hindwing very light brown; fringe light whitish-brown. Abdomen: Mounted on slide. Female genitalia typical for genus; signum long. Food plants: Unknown. Flight period: Unknown. Distribution: Kauai. Remarks: The holotype is the only known specimen. It may be a worn T. usitata, but the poor condition of the specimen makes an accurate determination impossible.Published as part of Medeiros, Matthew J., 2009, A revision of the endemic Hawaiian genus Thyrocopa (Lepidoptera: Xyloryctidae: Xyloryctinae), pp. 1-47 in Zootaxa 2202 on page 10, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27511

No full textFigure 1. Phylogenetic patterns predicted by three hypotheses of cave colonization. A, climatic relict hypothesis (CRH): The hypogean sister species to the troglobite is extinct, and the next most related species has an allopatric distribution with the troglobite. B, adaptive shift hypothesis (ASH): The hypogean sister species, if extant, and the troglobite have a parapatric distribution. C, exaptation. Here, speciation has not occurred and populations of one species occur in both the hypogean and epigean environments.

Thyrocopa neckerensis Medeiros, 2009, sp. nov.
No full text22. Thyrocopa neckerensis sp. nov. (Figs. 40, 86) Holotype: UNITED STATES: HAWAII: Necker Island: Annexation Hill, 60 m: 1 3 (slide LA 10), ex Sesbania litter, 4 Sep 2004, S.L. Montgomery (BPBM). Paratypes: UNITED STATES: HAWAII: Necker Island: Annexation Hill, 60 m: 1 Ƥ (slides LA08 & LA09), ex Sesbania litter, 4 Sep 2004, S.L. Montgomery (BPBM); Flagpole Hill, 46 m: 1 Ƥ, ex litter, 4 Sep 2004, S.L. Montgomery (BPBM). Diagnosis: Thyrocopa neckerensis is the only Thyrocopa that occurs on Necker Island; it can be distinguished morphologically by the cilia surrounding the flagellomere. Description: Head: Mottled light brown to dark brown. Antenna ca. 0.7–0.8x forewing length; dense, short, piliform cilia surrounding male flagellomere, cilia extremely short dorsally; female with short, piliform cilia on ventral side of flagellomere. Labial palpus mottled white to brown to dark blackish-brown; third segment ca. 1.2x length of second. Thorax: Mottled light brown to dark brown. Forewing length 7–8 mm; ground color mottled very light whitish-brown, brown, and dark brown, or brown and dark brown; discal area clouded with poorly defined blackish spots in cell; curving poorly defined whitish band through terminal area; evenly spaced spots on distal half of costa and along termen at vein endings, though sometimes quite faint. Abdomen: Light brown. Male genitalia (Fig. 86) with uncus barely cleft apically; sacculus short and tapering to sharp apex. Female genitalia typical for genus; signum long. Food plants: Unknown. Flight period: Specimens have been collected in September. Distribution: Necker Island. Etymology: The name “ neckerensis ” refers to Necker Island, the only locality where this moth occurs. Remarks: The three specimens are not spread; hence, the thorax, hindwings, and abdomen are not easily examined. Owing to the scarcity and small size of the specimens, I did not relax and spread them, risking damage.Published as part of Medeiros, Matthew J., 2009, A revision of the endemic Hawaiian genus Thyrocopa (Lepidoptera: Xyloryctidae: Xyloryctinae), pp. 1-47 in Zootaxa 2202 on page 31, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27511
