Cosmopoda graziani (Razowski, 2015), new combination Figs 37, 38 Diakonoffiana graziani Razowski, 2015: 36. Remarks. Although described in Diakonoffiana Koçak, 1981, the male genitalia of Cosmopoda graziani have little in common with those of Diakonoffiana cyanitis (Diakonoff, 1983), the type species of Diakonoffiana. The species is transferred to Cosmopoda on the basis of the overall similarity of the uncus, tegumen, and valvae to those of Cosmopoda aenopus Diakonoff, 1981, described from Madagascar. Superficially, C. graziani is similar to G. divergana, G. occidentana, and G. chiloanei, but the hindwing is weakly lobed at the anal angle and there is dense patch of thick secondary setae from the base of the hindwing (Fig. 37). The male genitalia (Fig. 38) are extremely similar to those of C. aenopus (see Razowski 2015: fig. 22). Whereas the tegumen, uncus, and socii are similar to those of G. divergana, G. occidentana, and G. chiloanei, the valvae are dramatically different, conspicuously constricted basad of the cucullus resulting in a narrow neck that bears a patch of exceedingly long setae; and the flange at the base of the cucullus is lobe-like bearing a single long, strong spine and a small patch of shorter setae (Fig. 38).
