Abstract

Anomologa terminata sp. nov. Figs 9–11, 26, 27, 30 Type material. Holotype ♂, Gorob Mine, SWA, Game Reserve No. 3, 22.iv.1967, leg. Potgieter; gen. slide 40/23, O. Bidzilya; in DMSA. Paratypes: 1 ♂, Fishriver, Gondwana Canyon Lodge, 13.x.2007, leg. Ebert, Mey & Kühne; gen. slide 53/23, O. Bidzilya; in MfN. 1 ♀, Hardap Dam. Mariental Distr., S.W.A., 10–14.iv.1972, leg. Strydom & Jones; gen. slide 18/13, O. Bidzilya; in DMSA. Diagnosis. Anomologa terminata sp. nov. is distinguished externally by fringes and termen of the forewing broadly edged with greyish black (A. hobohmi is darker, more contrasting, fasciae are broader, termen and fringes are lighter, hindwing are darker with more contrasting fringes, and the head is brighter, ochreous-brown). The new species is characterized by long sacculus (nearly 1/2 as long as valva), apically rounded and long saccus (extending anteriorly well beyond pedunculus) and slender, gradually narrowed in middle, and long (as long as valva) phallus (A. hobohmi differs by having a shorter sacculus (1/3 length of valva), an apically tapered saccus, and a larger subapical tooth on the phallus). The new species has slender, not dilated apically apophyses anteriores (in other species of Anomologa apophyses anteriores are distinctly dilated apically). Description (Figs 9–11). Wingspan 21.5–24.0 mm. Head light brown, frons dark yellow; labial palpus dark yellow mixed with brown. Antennal scape and flagellum light brown. Thorax and tegulae light brown suffused with dark brown. Forewing off white, basal black fascia from 1/8 of costa narrowed towards base of dorsum, medial fascia narrow, irregular, angled in middle towards apex, subapical fascia subtriangular, narrowed from 2/3–3/4 of costa towards tornus, termen distinctly suffused with black; fringe dark grey, tipped with black, dorsal margin mixed with black. Hindwings covered with off-white brown-tipped scales; fringe grey, with white basal and terminal line. Male genitalia (Figs 26, 27). Uncus parallel-sided, slightly longer than broad, extends to 1/2–2/3 length of valva; tegumen subtrapezoidal, anteromedial emargination broadly rounded, extending to 1/3 length of tegumen; valva slender, of even width or with broad extension on ventral margin before rounded apex; sacculus slightly broader than valva, dorsal margin broadly rounded in distal part, ventral margin gently bent inwards, apex with short pointed tip, extends to 1/2 length of valva; vinculum slender, band-shaped; juxta lobes broadly rounded or subtriangular, separated by deep V-shaped incision; saccus parallel-sided, weakly constricted in basal half, apex rounded, extending anteriorly well beyond pedunculus; phallus slender, as long as valva, weakly inflated at base, gradually narrowed to mid length, then weakly broadened towards apex, subapical tooth short. Female genitalia (Fig. 30). Papillae anales elongate, subtriangular, twice as long as segment VIII, densely covered with short setae in distal half, top of ovipositor broad, densely covered with triangular spines; apophyses posteriores slender, slightly longer than segment VIII; segment VIII subrectangular, about 2.5 times broader than long; tergum evenly sclerotized; sternum with medial membranous zone, well sclerotized laterally and along anterior margin; subostial plate funnel-shaped; apophyses anteriores very slender, rod-shaped, shorter than segment VIII; ductus bursae membranous, slender, gradually broadened towards elongate pear-shaped corpus bursae, no signum. Biology. Hostplant and larval stages unknown. Adults have been recorded in April and in October. Distribution. Namibia. Etymology. The specific epithet reflects the dark termen of the forewing of the new species.
