Diagnosis
: The new species
Spatalina rimbiensis
Irungbam &Schintlmeister
,
sp. nov
.
resembles to
S. ferruginosa
(Moore, 1879)
(
Fig. 8
) morphologically but can be distinguished by forewing ground color dark greyish brown
S. rimbiensis
Irungbam & Schintlmeister
,
sp. nov
.
which is light fuliginous-brown in
S. ferruginosa
.
Forewing costa displays several blackish dots and a larger blackish apical blotch in
S. rimbiensis
Irungbam & Schintlmeister
,
sp. nov
.
which is absent in
S. ferruginosa
.
The male genitalia are distinguished by shape of the uncus arms which are long and pointed in
S. rimbiensis
Irungbam & Schintlmeister
,
sp. nov
.
whereas very short and broader in
S. ferruginosa
(
Fig. 35
)
(
in
S. umbrosa
(Leech, 1898)
, uncus is Y-shaped with long uncus arms, while socii are longer and finger-like). The phallus of
S. rimbiensis
Irungbam & Schintlmeister
,
sp. nov
.
has a short and slightly curved and tapered tip whereas
S. ferruginosa
have a longer and blunt tip. Female
S. rimbiensis
Irungbam & Schintlmeister
,
sp. nov
.
genitalia display robust, rectangular-shaped antrums which are larger than those in known females of other congeners.

): Forewing length
19–21 mm
in males and
24–26 mm
in females. Male antennae bipectinated with short rami, those of the females are filiform. Forewing shape with rounded margin and apex, less elongated; ground color dark greyish brown; costa displays several blackish dots; and a larger blackish apical blotch.

Phallus short, curved and tapered at tip. Cornuti missing. 8th sternite deeply notched at their posterior margins. 8
th
tergite with a pair of semispherical large projections. Female genitalia (
Figure 34
). Apophyses anteriores slightly longer than apophyses posteriores. Antrum robust and rectangularly shaped, larger than in the known females of the other congeners. Ductus bursae slender and long; corpus bursae saccate.
