Diagnosis.
Lophomilia takao
(
Figs. 3, 4
) is closely related to
L. flaviplaga
but slightly smaller in size. It differs from the latter by having a more acute shape of forewing, more contrasting wing pattern, slightly more brownish coloration and more expressed yellow patch in dorsal area of medial field between antemedian line and white bar of postmedian line. Wingspan
22–24 mm
. In male genitalia (
Fig. 26
) uncus massive, juxta leafshaped, separated in three lobes, transtilla wider than in
L. flaviplaga
; valva triangular shaped, with costa dentate and angled in the middle; sacculus more massive and much shorter than in
L. flaviplaga
not extending beyond half of valva; clasper and harpe thinner and longer than in
L. flaviplaga
, reaching apex of valva; aedeagus with prominent coecum; vesica tubular, without cornuti. In female genitalia (
Fig. 41
) ovipositor short, papillae anales wider than in
L. flaviplaga
; antrum narrower, slightly asymmetrical, without triangular incision; ductus bursae narrower and somewhat longer and thinner than in
L. flaviplaga
, sclerotized, with rounded extensions in proximal part; corpus bursae like in
L. flaviplaga
, without signum.
