Rhodostrophia plesiochora Prout 1917
No full textRhodostrophia plesiochora Prout, 1917 Rhodostrophia plesiochora Prout, 1917, Novit. zool., 24: 306. Holotype ♁, China (west): Pu-tsu-fong, 9820 ft (NHM). Diagnosis. The species is very similar to R. yunnanaria, and only can be distinguished by the less rounded wings and the wavy antemedial line of the forewing (Prout (1934 –1939), p. 24, pl. 3: i). Distribution. China (Sichuan). Remarks. Prout (1934 –1939) mentioned R. yunnanaria is a possible more heavily marked form of R. plesiochora. Unfortunately, we have no chance to examine the specimens. The differential diagnosis of R. yunnanaria and R. plesiochora needs further attention and study.Published as part of Cui, Le, Xue, Dayong & Jiang, Nan, 2019, Description of two new species of Rhodostrophia Hübner, 1823 from China (Lepidoptera, Geometridae), pp. 337-353 in Zootaxa 4563 (2) on page 341, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4563.2.7, http://zenodo.org/record/260126

Eueupithecia Prout 1910
No full textGenus Eueupithecia Prout, 1910 Type species. Eueupithecia cisplatensis Prout, 1910 by monotypy. Until recently, the genus Eueupithecia Prout, 1910 had been considered to be monotypic (Scoble 1999; Scoble & Hausmann 2007). Genus diagnosis. Females with frenulum developed as one single stout bristle, similar to that of the male. So far, this was known only from male geometrids (sister genus Euacidalia, however, exhibits transitions to that same unusual character). Male antennae ciliate-fasciculate, in female filiform, in the type species very shortly ciliate. Palpi very small in both sexes. Proboscis absent in the type species, very short in E. vollonoides sp. n.. Male hindtibia and tarsus narrow, without spurs, in female with two spurs. Venation of forewing with one single, long areole, R 3 +R 4 usually connate with R 5, arising from tip of areole; hindwing with Sc+R 1 and Rs distinctly stalked. In male genitalia valva simple, tegumen smooth, aedeagus with two large cornuti. In female genitalia papillae anales and lateral lobi large, apophyses anteriores vestigial, ductus bursae short, with a small ‘colliculum’, corpus bursae with two smoothly sclerotized posterior sclerites, signum absent. Differential diagnosis against Euacidalia Packard, 1873 with currently 12 described species of which eight seem to be restricted to North America and Mexico (possibly extending their range to other countries of central America), two others occurring slightly further south (E. externata (Walker, 1863) from Dominican Republic and E. oroandes (Druce, 1893) from Guatemala), and the last two having their type localities further south: E. angusta (Warren, 1906) from Peru (with synonym oriochares Prout, 1922), E. rosea (Warren, 1897) from Surinam. Euacidalia species with male antennae ciliate-setose or ciliate-fasciculate, female antennae filiform or ciliate setose, palpi short or medium-sized, proboscis well developed, male hindtibia in some species strongly dilated and tarsus weak or vestigial, in other species normal but hindfemur strongly dilated. Female hindtibia with two spurs. Female frenulum consisting of 3–6 stout bristles, sometimes almost appearing to be fused. Venation of forewing of Euacidalia with double areole, R 3 +R 4 connate with R 5, arising from tip of second areole; hindwing with Sc+R 1 and Rs distinctly stalked (examined in E. orbelia). E. oroandes in male genitalia differing from Eueupithecia by distinctly forked tip of valva, lateral stout bristles from tegumen tip of aedeagus with 4 rows of microcornuti, base of aedeagus with a rectangular, furrowed sclerite. In male genitalia differing by smaller papillae anales and lateral lobes, apophyses anteriores developed, antrum broader, alate, ductus bursae long, corpus bursae with spinulose sclerites. Variation of morphological traits in the genitalia of the different Euacidalia species still awaits further study.

Prasinocyma perpulverata Prout 1916
No full textPrasinocyma perpulverata Prout, 1916 Prasinocyma perpulverata Prout (1916): 143. Locus typicus: Somalia, Mandera (Holotype ♂ NHM, examined). Material. In NHM there is a long series from Ethiopia, 'Dire Daoua', mentioned also in Prout (1930). Redescription (P. p e r p ul v er at a). Adult small, wingspan in male 14 – 17 mm, in female 16 – 18 mm. Forewing narrow, hindwing termen rounded. Ground colour pale ochre, irrorated with dark brown scales, mainly on forewing. Male usually with much stronger forewing irroration, sometimes with very dar medial area, reminiscent of the coloration of P. l o ve r i dg e i (Prout, 1926), cf. Fig. 11. Dark brown discal spot conspicuous, elongate on all wings, on forewing often blackish and not rarely curved. Length of male and female (!) palpi 0.9 – 1.1 times diameter of eye, pale ochre. Frons pale ochre, with some dark brown scales. Antennae bipectinate in male, filiform in female. Antennal branches ochre, markedly darker at base. Male frenulum present. Male hindtibia with four spurs, with pencil and with terminal process covering first tarsomere. Male and female genitalia not studied from P. perpulverata, but probably very close to those of P. l overi dgei (cf. Figs 52, 88). Male genitalia of P. loveri dgei (Fig. 52). Uncus short. Socii developed as short setose patches. Gnathos weakly sclerotized. Valva narrow, subapical ventral lobe at rather central position. Harpe short and broad. Aedeagus bent twice at centre, with sclerotized edge at 2 / 3, length 1.25 mm. Sternum A 8 with two sub-truncate projections, sclerotized and concave between. In male genitalia reminiscent of those of P. hailei, mainly in the shape of aedeagus and sternum A 8. Female genitalia (Fig. 87) Sterigma with two tapering posterior projections. Ductus bursae short, corpus bursae very small, membranous. Remarks. Closely related to P. loveridgei (Prout, 1926) described from Tanzania and examined from a series from Kenya (ZSM). P. loveridgei may reveal to need to be downgraded to a subspecies of P. perpulverata, some Ethiopian specimens from the NHM series (' P. perpulverata ') are indistinguishable from our Kenyan P. loveridgei in habitus. Genetic data. Not yet barcoded.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 pages 17-18, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4065.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/27049

Preparations of genitalia: 5 3, 2 Ƥ. Description & Diagnosis. Wingspan 24–26 mm, in general smaller than the externally similar L. farinata which also occurs in Turkey. Forewings a little narrower than those of farinata, greyish white, without discal dot, grey underneath, with the basal and central area brown. Hindwings on upper- and underside like forewings (Fig. 23). Male genitalia (Fig. 49) similar to those in L. griseata griseata, with short sclerotized costa with weakly marked distal tip (not a free process like in farinata and coassata), differing in the much larger harpe with a pointed, tooth-like apex and the longer dorsal arm.Juxta in L. ancyrana vase-shaped, nearly two times longer than in L. griseata griseata. Saccus much shorter than in farinata, but longer compared to griseata; aedaegous longer and more distinctly curved compared to griseata (Figs 47 –53). Bionomics. Collected in May and June at 1400m.
