Torodora ochrizona Park & Minet , sp. nov. ( Fig. 16 ) LSID: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: D559B818-9995-45A8-B50C-F2D8BF37FF7D Type specimen . Holotype : Male , East Madagascar , Ifanadiana district , near Ranomafana , alt. 700 m , 30 iii 1955 , leg. P. Viette ; gen. slide no. CIS-7365 (in MNHN ). Diagnosis. This new species can be easily distinguished from its congeners by its broad, yellowish white, antemedian and postmedian bands (with a narrow band of the same color along the inner margin of the forewing). Description. Male ( Figs. 16A–C ). Wingspan, 16.0 mm. Head : yellowish white dorsally, with yellowishwhite erect scales laterally. Antenna slightly longer than forewing; scape elongated, yellowish white all around; flagellum yellowish white, without annulations. 2 nd segment of labial palpus ( Fig. 16C ) thickened, with rough scales ventrally, dark brown in basal 1/3 dorsally, yellowish brown on outer surface with pale orange band along ventral edge, yellowish white on inner surface; 3 rd segment strongly upturned, as long as 2 nd segment, yellowish white. Thorax : tegula dark brown; thorax yellowish white dorsally. Hind tibia with dark-brown scales dorsally; its apex white. Forewing slightly broadened distally; costa arched around 1/3, nearly straight medially, then slightly convex beyond postmedian band; ground color dark brown; antemedian band broad; postmedian band slightly broadened near costa, nearly straight; a yellowish-white band along inner margin; apex rather acute; termen slightly sinuate, concave above middle; fringe pale brownish; venation with R 5 to apex; base of M 2 remote from M 3 ; M 3 free; CuA 1 and CuA 2 stalked. Hind wing ground color grayish; venation complete, base of M 2 nearly connate with M 3 + CuA 1; M 3 and CuA 1 stalked for basal 1/2. Abdomen : dark brown dorsally, white on tergum VII and brownish orange on tergum VIII; spinose zones on terga rather inconspicuous ( Fig. 16F ). Male genitalia ( Figs. 16D, E ): Uncus slender, tapering distally, extending clearly beyond caudal margin of basal plate of gnathos. Basal plate of gnathos somewhat semi-ovate, sclerotized; median process very small, broad basally, narrowed with sharply pointed apex. Tegumen somewhat short, quadrate, strongly angled at latero-distal corners. Valva broad basally; costa with its ventral margin rather straight in basal 1/3, then abruptly oblique; sacculus broadly developed; cucullus slightly narrowed basally, then dilated distally with rounded upper margin. Vinculum a narrow band. Juxta with a pair of triangular median processes; latero-caudal lobes short, somewhat triangular. Aedeagus slightly longer than valva, as broad as distal part of cucullus; cornuti consisting of a bundle of setae and a large sack with minute spinules. FIGURE 16. Torodora ochrizona Park & Minet , sp. nov. : A, adult, male (holotype); B, head and thorax, dorsal view; C, head with labial palpus, lateral view; D, male genitalia (slide no. CIS-7365); E, ditto, aedeagus; F, abdomen. Female unknown. Distribution. Madagascar (eastern region). Etymology. The species name is derived from the Latin substantive zona (= a belt), referring to the welldeveloped, pale yellowish, transverse bands of the forewing.
