Ronkay, L.: New Stenoloba Staudinger, 1892 species from Taiwan and Vietnam (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae, Bryophilinae)

fuse, basal dot small, blackish; subbasal line blackish; antemedial line double, oblique, slightly waved, blackish grey, often filled with paler greenish-grey. Median fascia diffuse, narrow, sometimes obsolete; postmedial line double, less sinuous, inner line stronger, blackish, outer line paler, often interrupted, filling of postmedial regularly paler than ground colour. Median area strongly tapering below cell towards apex; claviform stigma absent; orbicular stigma more or less rounded, incompletely encircled with blackish brown, filled often with greenish grey. Reniform stigma rather large, represented by its prominent, blackish, lunulate inner margin, sometimes also by smaller outer dot or darker filling of lower half, upper part most often defined with greenish patch. Subterminal line diffuse, sinuous, ochreous-greenish; terminal line a row of dark brown spots; cilia as ground colour. Hindwing unicolorous, dark greyish-brown, only slightly darker in outer area; discal spot usually hardly traceable; cilia ochreous with brown inner line. Underside of forewing uniformly dark brown, with two greyish patches at costal margin; hindwing paler, ochreous-greyish, irrorated with dark brown scales, dark markings rather strong, consisting of distinct discal lunule, two diffuse, broad crosslines and darker terminal area. Male genitalia (Fig. 7). Uncus rather long, slender, flattened, apically setose, tegumen high, narrow. Juxta broad, subdeltoidal, with strong median fold and rather wide apical extension. Vinculum short, more or less U-shaped, its tip curved dorsally. Valvae asymmetrical, right valva broader with straight costal margin. Both valvae rather short with broad saccular half, distal half similarly broad, with almost parallel costal and ventral margins. Cucullus rather rectangular, apical area covered with a field of strong setae. Sacculus long, broad, sclerotized; with heavily sclerotized dorso-apical margin and small, triangular apical extension. Aedeagus relatively short, thick, especially at middle, carina with short dorsal and eversible, longer ventral sclerotized plates. Vesica broadly tubular, recurved ventro-laterally, distal half inflated, with large, lateral, verrucose field, a small, subcorneal subterminal diverticulum and a long, strong, scaphoidal cornutus with small apical peak. Female genitalia (Fig. 8). Ovipositor weak, short, gonapophyses short, fine. Antrum long, flattened, quadrangular, ventral plate with stronger, sand-clock-shaped, sclerotization, dorsal plate weakly sclerotized. Ductus bursae almost as long as antrum, flattened, sclerotized; apical part of cervix bursae hyaline, other parts of cervix and dorso-lateral surface (on left side) of posterior half of corpus bursae heavily sclerotizcd, forming large, folded, sclerotized plate. Bionomics and distribution - Stenoloba pulla was found in rich, mixed deciduous forests, in medium-high and higher altitudes of Taiwan (between 700-2300 m a.s.I.). The species is presumably univoltine, the imagines are on wing from the mid-August to the beginning of October and are attracted to light. Etymology - The name is derivated from the Latin "pullus", meaning "dark". Stenoloba yenminia sp. n. (Figs 3, 11) Holotype- Male, "Taiwan, Prov. [Ian, Fu-Shan Botanical Garden, 700 m, 27.VII. 1995, leg. J.J. Hsiao"; slide No. 7079 RONKAY (coll. TFRI Taipei). Paratypes - Two males, with the same data as the holotype (coll. TFRI Taipei). Slide No. RL9TFRI (male).
