in the
holotype
) and
11–11.5 mm
in females.
Barsine dubatolovi
sp. n.
is similar externally to
B. mene
sp. n.
,
B. syntypicoida
sp. n.
and
B. syntypica
, but differs by its broader, more diffuse pattern elements. The male genitalia of
B. dubatolovi
sp. n.
differ from those of
B. mene
sp. n.
,
B. syntypicoida
sp. n.
and
B. syntypica
by their curved medial costal process (that is more or less straight in
B. mene
sp. n.
,
B. syntypicoida
sp. n.
and
B. syntypica
), more robust distal costal process, slightly longer and more robust distal saccular process, and much broader vesica. The female genitalia of
B. dubatolovi
sp. n.
differ from those of
B. syntypicoida
sp. n.
and
B. syntypica
by their much shorter antrum strongly broadened laterally (that is much longer and narrower postero-laterally in
B. syntypicoida
sp. n.
and
B. syntypica
), smaller sclerotized posterior area of corpus bursae, stronger spinulose scobination of the anterior section of corpus bursae, and much narrower appendix bursae.
Distribution
. Endemic of
Palawan
Isl. (The
Philippines
).
Etymology
. The species name is dedicated to Dr.
Vladimir
V. Dubatolov (
Novosibirsk
,
Russia
), a famous expert in
Lepidoptera
taxonomy.
