264 NATURA SOMOGYIENSIS Aludta palodactyla Zeller, 1847 (Fig. 6, 7) Alucita palodactyla Zeller, 1847 Isis von Oken 40: 908. Locus typicus: Sicily. Synonyms: Alucitaperittodactyla Staudinger, 1859; Alucita parthenodactyla Chretien, 1915 References: GOZMÁNY 1955; GIELIS 2003; SCHOLZ & JÄCKH 1994; SCHWARZ 1953; Z AGULAJEV 1986. Diagnosis: According to ZELLER (1847); "Palporum articulo ultimo adscendenti brevi; alis albidis, fasciis duabus murinis per omnes continuatus, exteriőre in costae maculam unicam coarctata ." Similar species: Alucita kosterini Ustjuzhanin, 1999; According to USTJUZHANIN (1999) by a widened distal part of uncus the new species is close to A. palodactyla from which it differs in the narrow ribbon-like valvae and pointed apex of the gnathos; in A. palodactyla, the valvae are wider and the gnathos apex is widened. In the absence of signa and the cup-like shape of the antrum the new species is close to A. desmodactyla Zeller, 1847 and A. hexadactyla Linnaeus, 1758 from which it differs in the oval shape of bursa, less elongated than in A. hexadactyla , and in the absence of the saccate process before the ductus, as in A. desmodactyla. Genitalia: See in preceding text and at figures (Fig.7.). Biology: Recorded foodplants Scabiosa rutaefolia Vahl. (GIELIS 2003). This plant is unknown in Hungary, and the foodplant of the species in Hungary is unknown. Probably bivoltine; adults fly in May and from July to September. According to records, A. palodactyla is strongly associated with its food plants, and therefore the habitat requirements of the moth are completely correlated with those of the foodplants. New data of distribution: \<$, Hungary, Nyirád (46°56T6.03"N; 17°25'27.15"E), 14.09.2009, leg. et coll. Peter Davey (GB). A single specimen captured at light. It is a new species for Hungary, never having been reported before.
