Parornix yuliella Liu & Wang & Jiang & Jiang & Jiang & Teng 2021, sp. n.
No full text<i>Parornix yuliella</i> Liu & Teng, sp. n. <p>ḂṪAEẊḋffi [Chinese name]</p> <p>(Figs 4, 5, 7, 7a, 9, 9a, 15 ̅19)</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> The new species is closely related to <i>P. multimaculata</i> on both forewing patterns and genitalia, but can be distinguished from the latter by: i) the valva rounded ventro-apically and having a curved ridge with several teeth from middle to ventral margin in the male genitalia, ii) the length of phallus almost as long as the length of valva, and iii) the process from base of phallus about as long as phallus. In <i>P. multimaculata</i>, the valva is nearly rectangular ventro-apically and lacks a curved ridge from middle to ventral margin, the phallus is about 1.75 times as long as the length of valva (although Kumata (1965) stated that “aedoeagus about 1.2 times as long as valva”), and the process from base of phallus is about as long as phallus (Kumata 1965: 68, plate VIII, Figs 9–10). In the female genitalia, <i>P. yuliella</i>, <b>sp. n.</b> has a sharply triangular process on the lamella postvaginalis, while this process is absent in <i>P. multimaculata</i> (Kumata 1965: 68, plate X, Fig. 24). The white costal striae on the distal part of the forewing are slenderer in <i>P. yuliella</i>, <b>sp. n.</b> than those in <i>P. multimaculata</i>. However, these differences on the forewing are not strong diagnostic characters, and should be used in combination with the characters from the genitalia. The Maximum Likelihood tree based on available DNA barcodes corroborates the newly described species (Fig. 1). The lowest pairwise genetic distance is 6.0% between the new species and all the other species (Table S1).</p> <p> <b>Type material.</b> <b>Holotype</b>, ³, CHINA: Shandong Province: Yuegudian, Mt.

Ent 170187.</p> <p> <b>Adult</b> (Figs 4, 5, 19). Head tuft gray to whitish gray, mixed with black. Maxillary palpi pure white. Labial palpus white, slightly brown ventrally. Antennae with scape white, tinged dark brown dorsally, flagellum yellowish brown, with dark brown rings. Thorax white. Tegula dark gray basally, white distally, or entirely white. Forewing white with massive black scales, denser towards apex; with some 12–15 white striae on costa, indistinct on basal half; two large black suffusions on fold, with outer one larger; apex with a black dot; cilia white on basal half, two black lines on distal half. Hindwing and cilia gray.</p> <p> <b>Male genitalia</b> (Figs 7, 7a). Tegumen sclerotized, slender posteriorly and pointed apically. Tuba analis slender, membranous and glabrous, extending beyond tegumen. Valva thin and parallel-sided on basal half, dilated and covered with long setae distally, with a curved ridge with several teeth from middle of valva to ventral margin (Fig. 7a). Vinculum sclerotized, anterior process less sclerotized, triangular and truncated at end. Phallus slender and curved, longer than valva, a band of densely distributed spiny cornuti extending from base to top, longer towards apex; a slender straight process from base of phallus, about same length of phallus; anellus a sclerotized ring without any posterior process. Eighth sternite triangularly protruded on posterior margin.</p> <p> <b>Female genitalia</b> (Figs 9, 9a). Apophyses anteriores shorter than apophyses posteriores. Ostium bursae oval, a sharply triangular process on lamella postvaginalis, more than half width of ostium (Fig. 9a); lamella antevaginalis a rather slender sclerotized. Ductus bursae membranous, almost same in width before corpus bursae, with dense micro particles. Ductus seminalis originated near ostium. Corpus bursae membranous, signum two clusters of particles which extending sparsely forming two bands.</p> <p> <b>Biology.</b> The mine by early instars is similar to that of <i>P. sinensis</i> <b>sp</b>. <b>n</b>. (Figs 15, 16, 18). The mine can be easily traced by the white upper epidermis of the damaged leaf. After mining stage, the larva chews and creeps out of a hole on the under epidermis and lives as a leaf-roller on a neighboring leaf (Figs 15, 17). The whole leaf is rolled longitudinally (Fig. 15), which is different from that of <i>P. sinensis</i> <b>sp</b>. <b>n</b>. (Fig. 13). More than one leaf may be rolled by a single larva during its life span, as empty leaf rolls are often found in the field. Active leaf mines last from early June to early July, thus monovoltine in Shandong. This species may overwinter by an adult as all the pupae emerge in the rearing condition in summer.</p> <p> <b>Host plant.</b> <i>Cerasus japonica</i> (Thunb.) Lois. (Rosaceae).

Therefore, there is a possibility that a sexual mismatch may be present in <i>P. multimaculata</i> or in <i>P. yuliella</i> <b>sp. n.</b> To get rid of this possibility, DNA barcodes from both sexes of <i>P. yuliella</i> <b>sp. n.</b> were generated and they successfully combined the male and female (Fig. 1).</p>Published as part of <i>Liu, Tengteng, Wang, Encui, Jiang, Yurong, Jiang, Zhongfeng, Jiang, Bin & Teng, Kaijiang, 2021, First report of the leaf-mining genus Parornix Spuler from China, with descriptions of two new species (Lepidoptera, Gracillariidae, Parornichinae), pp. 136-148 in Zootaxa 4948 (1)</i> on pages 144-146, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4948.1.8, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/4616235">http://zenodo.org/record/4616235</a>
Parornix sinensis Liu & Wang & Jiang & Jiang & Jiang & Teng 2021, sp. n.
No full textParornix sinensis Liu, sp. n. ‡AEẊḋffi [Chinese name] (Figs 2, 3, 6, 6a, 8, 10 ̅14) Diagnosis. The new species resembles Parornix turcmeniella Kuznetzov, 1956 that also feeds on Amygdalus, but can be separated from the latter by: i) the valva shorter than the length of vinculum + saccus, ii) the absence of a projection on the sacculus and iii) the S-hooked and pointed posterior processes of the anellus; in P. turcmeniella, the valva is longer than the length of vinculum + saccus, a projection is present on the sacculus, and the posterior processes of the anellus are straight (Triberti 1982: 39, Fig. 4; Kuznetzov & Baryshnikova 2003: 121, Fig. 10). The Maximum Likelihood tree based on available DNA barcodes corroborates the newly described species (Fig. 1). The lowest pairwise genetic distance is 7.7% between the new species and all the other species (Table S1). Type material. Holotype, ³, CHINA: Shandong Province: Mt.

Labial palpi white, dark brown on second segment laterally and on middle part of third segment. Antennae with scape white ventrally and dark brown dorsally, flagellum yellowish white with dark brown rings. Thorax dorsally white. Tegula dark gray basally, white distally. Forewing dark gray, with scattered white scales; with about 15 white striae along costa, very indistinct on the basal half; areas between wing fold and dorsum lighter, two black suffusions, one below and one on fold, the latter larger; apex with a black dot; cilia white on basal half, two black lines on distal half. Hindwing and cilia light brown. Male genitalia (Figs 6, 6a). Tegumen weakly sclerotized, glabrous. Tuba analis membranous, extending beyond tegumen. Valva shorter than length of vinculum, basal 1/3 narrowed with a small oblique ridge extending from middle to ventral margin (Fig. 6a), then widening towards cucullus, the latter covered with dense long setae. Vinculum Y-shaped with parallel sides, anterior process about 1/3 length of valva. Phallus arcuate with the overall curvature almost 90 o, one tooth-like process on apex, two longer lateral ones below on outer wall, cornutus a sharp pointed needle; process from base of phallus about 1/5 length of phallus; anellus developed, with apex of posterior process S-hooked and pointed. Eighth sternite rectangular, a small concavity in the middle of posterior margin. Female genitalia (Fig. 8). Papillae anales with two acute projections antero-ventrally. Apophyses posteriores a bit longer than apophyses anteriores. Eighth segment about 1/3 length of papillae anales, intersegmental membrane between papillae anales reduced. Ostium bursae as wide as half width of posterior margin of seventh sternite; antrum funnel-shaped. Ductus bursae strongly sclerotized on basal 4/5, often curved twice in situ, then keep in same width towards membranous part, distal 1/5 membranous and wrinkled, constricted before corpus bursae; ductus seminalis originated from the dorsal membranous part of first curve. Corpus bursae membranous, with two rutted signa. Biology. The larva mines in early instars on the underside of the leaf (Fig. 11), forming a tentiform mine (somewhat similar to Phyllonorycter Hübner, 1822) between secondary veins, often along leaf margin (Fig. 12). The mine can be easily spotted by its whitish appearance on the upper side of the leaf and slightly deformed leaf lamina in the damaged area. After vacating the mine, the larva lives as a leaf-roller on the same or neighboring leaf, by rolling the leaf tip inside which it lives until pupation (Figs 13, 14). The larva rolls only one leaf during its life span. This species is one of the earliest leaf-mining moths occurring in Shandong in spring being bivoltine with the first generation in early May, and the second in September. This species may overwinter by adult as emergence still occurs in fall. Host plant. Amygdalus davidiana (Carr.) C. de Vos (Rosaceae) (Fig. 10). The Plant List website treats A. davidiana as a junior synonym of Prunus davidiana (Carr.) Franch on the lowest confidence level. The scientific name of the host plant follows the Plant Plus of China (http://www.iplant.cn/). DNA barcode. The DNA barcode of the holotype was generated and deposited in BOLD, creating a BIN number BOLD: ADT3365. Distribution. China (Shandong). Etymology. We use the country name for naming the species to indicate that it is the first formally named species of the genus in China. The generic name of the host plant was not selected for this purpose, as it was occupied by P. amygdalella Kuznetzov, 1978, although the latter was synonymized with P. szoecsi (Gozmány, 1952) by Triberti (1982).Published as part of Liu, Tengteng, Wang, Encui, Jiang, Yurong, Jiang, Zhongfeng, Jiang, Bin & Teng, Kaijiang, 2021, First report of the leaf-mining genus Parornix Spuler from China, with descriptions of two new species (Lepidoptera, Gracillariidae, Parornichinae), pp. 136-148 in Zootaxa 4948 (1) on pages 141-144, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4948.1.8, http://zenodo.org/record/461623
