Ronkay, L.: Revision of the genus Lophoterges Hampson, 1906 (s. l.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae, Cuculliinae). Part I

rina with weak, short dorso-lateral bar. Vesica long, broadly tubular, main part helicoid, coiled ventrally with two full turns. Basal part with large, ellipsoidal, strongly scobinate diverticulum, inner curve of basal third with numerous fine denticles. Medial and distal parts slightly broadened, large areas covered with variably long, fine, pin-like cornuti, their size increasing towards terminal part; terminal cornutus absent. Female genitalia (Fig. 14): ovipositor relatively short, weakly sclerotized, papillae anales conical, densely setose, gonapophyses long, slender. Ostium bursae sclerotized, rather narrow, elongate, cup-shaped, dorsal plate broader, weaker, ventral plate narrower, stronger, with fine caudal incision at middle. Ductus bursae long, tubular, flattened, lateral margins slightly sclerotized at posterior end, both surfaces with weak medial sclerotization. Cervix bursae long, tubular, helicoid with two coils, distal part slightly dilated. Proximal part with large, flattened, sclerotized diverticulum at base and with strongly sclerotized ribs and crests, running from junction to ductus bursae to middle of first coiling. Medial and distal parts membranous with fine wrinkles, distal third recurved, ductus seminalis arising from apical end of cervix bursae, projected towards to axis of coiling. Corpus bursae small, elliptical-ovoid, weakly membranous. Atakterges fidia (DRAUDT, 1950) (Figs 1-4, 13, 14) Lophoterges fidia DRAUDT, 1950 Milt, munch, ent. Ges. 40: 57. Dichonia areolona DRAUDT, 1950: 64, syn. n. Type material examined - "fidia": syntype female, "A-tun-tse (Nord Yunnan) Talsohle (ca. 3500 m) 24.6.1936 H. Höne", "Holotype (underlined), Lophoterges fidia Ç Draudt." (red label), "Lophoterges fidia $ Draudt." (whitish label), "Bonn". Slide No. RL2804 (ZFMK-Nr. 950), deposited in coll. AKM Bonn. This female syntype is designated here as lectotype. Two males, from the same locality, very probably from the type series but without type labels; these specimens are considered here as paralectotypes, one of them is illustrated by DRAUDT (1950, Plate IV, fig. 11). Slide Nos RL3325 (ZFMK-Nr. 1068), RL3324 (ZFMK-Nr. 1069). "areolona": holotype male, "A-tun-tse (Nord Yünnan), Mittlere Höhe (ca. 4000 m), 19.6.1936, H.Höne", "Holotype (underlined) Dichonia areolona Draudt" (yellow-reddish label), slide No. RL3615 maie, "Holotypus Atakterges areolona Draudt, det. L. Ronkay" (coll. AKM Bonn). The allotype of areolona (from China, Prov. Hunan) is not conspecific with the male holotype but represents the female of a distinct taxon described below as Speidelia apocrypha gen. et sp. n. Diagnosis - A. fidia resembles externally mostly to the species of Speidelia and Xylocampa by its strong, robust body, the shape and size of the hood of the collar and the colouration and pattern of the forewing, respectively. A. fidia differs from X. areola (ESPER, 1789) and X. mustapha (OBERTHÜR, 1910) in the stature of the body by its more elongate, more acute hood of collar, shorter, more slender abdomen and broader, more acute forewing and in some details of the forewing pattern. A. fidia has, in comparison with the two Xylocampa species more oblique, much more flattened orbicular and narrower, more lunulate reniform stigmata, latter with stronger, more acute subcellular extension, larger, paler, more whitish
