Diagnosis.
Anacochylidia maderana
is a small species with a narrow triangular forewing and somewhat distinctive maculation: the ground color is white, with an ill-defined, pale rust patch in the subterminal region and an ill-defined, concolorous, oblique dash from the middle of the hind margin extending to about the middle of the discal cell (
Fig. 1
). The species is superficially similar to
Cochylis temerana
(
Busck, 1907
)
and
Mimcochylis fulvotincatana
(
Walsingham, 1884
)
, but the genitalia have little in common with those species.
Anacochylidia maderana
is easily distinguished by the male genitalia (
Fig. 19
), which have a broad, concavely rounded top of the tegumen; a very short, wide valva similar to species of
Cochylidia
; and a long, curved, slender, apically-attenuate rod from the phallus, extending ca. 0.5 the length of the phallus. The male genitalia lack the conspicuous elongate process from the base of the costa of the valva that is present in all species
Cochylidia
.
Description
. Head: Frons and vertex buff; labial palpus light buff with scattered fuscous scales, cream on inner surface; antenna mixed fuscous and cream, sensory setae about 0.9 times flagellomere diameter in male, shorter in female. Thorax: Mesonotum and tegula buff in anterior 0.3, remainder pale fuscous; forewing length
4.5–4.8 mm
(n = 4); forewing ground white, with ill-defined, pale rust, submedian dash extending from near middle of hind margin to lower edge of discal cell; small concolorous spot at costa ca. 0.6 distance from base to apex; subterminal area with broad concolorous patch extending from costa almost to tornus. Fringe white. Hindwing cream-white. Fringe concolorous with wing. Abdomen: Dorsal scaling brown, venter shiny white. Male genitalia (
Fig. 19
) as described for genus. Female genitalia (
Fig. 33
) as described for genus.
