Diagnosis
. Forewing length is
14.5 mm
in male and
15 mm
in female.
Barsine kishidai
sp. n.
is similar externally to
B. visaya
sp. n.
but differs by its larger size and medial line being less curved at anal wing margin. The male genitalia of
B. kishidai
sp. n.
are similar to those of
B. rhipiptera
, but differ by the vinculum being rectangular apically (that is rounded apically in
B. rhipiptera
), the narrower valva, the smaller medial costal process, the less curved distal costal process, the much shorter distal membranous lobe of valva, the narrower cluster of cornuti on the medial diverticulum, the shorter ventral subdiverticulum of the medial diverticulum, and the globular subbasal ventral diverticulum (that is conical and narrower in
B. rhipiptera
). The female genitalia of
B. kishidai
sp. n.
differ from those of
B. rhipiptera
by their antrum being slightly broader anteriorly, broader postero-lateral sclerotized area of corpus bursae, and larger appendix bursae.
Distribution
. The
Philippines
(Mindanao Island).
Etymology
. The species name is dedicated to Dr. Yasunori Kishida (
Tokyo
,
Japan
), a famous expert in Noctuoidea taxonomy.
