veins. Terminal line dark brown, cilia whitish with brownish medial line. Underside of wings whitish, costal and apical areas of forewing covered with brown; discal spots present, diffuse, traces of transverse line also visible. Female. Similar in size and forewing pattern but generally darker in colouration, brownish suffusion stronger on both wings, hindwing almost entirely covered by brown scales. Male genitalia (Fig. 19): uncus medium-long, strong, curved at base, apex hooked. Tegumen narrow; penicular lobes narrow, weak; fultura inferior calyculate with deep apical (dorsal) incision; vinculum long, strong, V-shaped. Valva elongate, distally tapering; medially slightly dilated, cucullus triangular, with apex pointed; corona rather weak, short. Sacculus short, rather weak, clavus reduced. Harpe strong, flattened, triangular, apically pointed, finely curved, weakly setose; pollex-like costal extension short, triangular, pointed. Aedeagus short, cylindrical, carina with very strong, heavily sclerotized, serrate dorsal plate. Vesica long, tubular, fully recurved, basal part membranous, medial and distal parts covered with fine, spiniform cornuti; terminal cornutus small, short, acute. Female genitalia (Fig. 18): ovipositor relatively short, weakly sclerotized, papillae anales elongate, densely setose, gonapophyses long, slender. Ostium bursae sclerotized, large, rounded-elliptical; ductus bursae long, tubular, flattened, sclerotized, proximal part tapering towards cervix bursae, with stronger lateral crest at junction to corpus bursae, distal third with strong horizontal folds. Bursa bilobate, more or less horseshoe-shaped; cervix bursae relatively long, curved, broadly tubular, its walls membranous, with stronger apical (terminal) sclerotization. Corpus bursae large, ellipticalsacculiform, weakly membranous, with two fine, long signum-stripes. Fig. 19. Male genitalia of Speidelia apocrypha sp. n., paratype, China
