H. erato also has a setose proximal flange of the dorsal part of the valva; a sclerite of the phallus that is abruptly curved at 2/3; and an apically truncate anellus that is constricted slightly beyond base that are lacking in H. fio . Description.—Head: Scales on vertex and frontoclypeus grayish brown tipped with pale grayish brown. Outer surface of labial palpus brown intermixed with pale-brown scales along apical margins of segments 1–2, terminal segment with apical part pale brown; inner surface pale brown. Antennal scape grayish brown with pale-gray scales along apical margin, pecten pale brown, flagellum pale gray. Proboscis pale brown. Thorax: Tegula grayish brown intermixed with few brown scales tipped with pale brown; mesonotum with brown scales tipped with pale brown. Legs brown intermixed with pale-brown scales near midsegments and along apical margins of all segments and tarsomeres. Forewing ( Fig. 389 ): Length 6.2 mm (n = 1), pale brown intermixed with brownish-orange and brown scales; brown submedian fascia complete; cell with three brown spots, one near middle, two on apical end along crossvein; marginal spots brown, faint. Undersurface brown. Hindwing: Translucent pale brown gradually darkening to apex. MAP 42. Distribution of Hypatopa erato (●) and H. fio (˔). Abdomen: Male genitalia ( Figs. 205–206 ): Uncus gradually narrowed from widened base, rounded apically, straight, sparsely setose, shorter than width of anal opening. Gnathos, narrow band, slightly directed anteriorly, confluent with tegumen; ventroposterior margin with shallowly emarginate median lobe. Sockets of tergal setae not extending to midlength of tegumen. Valva divided; ventral part protracting basally, nearly parallelsided to base of a large, inwardly curved, apical process; process setose on outer surface, planate on inner surface; ventral margin sparsely setose to near small, setose marginal ridge beneath apical process; dorsal part with apical portion of costa extending dorsally, forming setose digitate process; process geniculate basally; basal ridge of digitate process extending ventrally fusing with dorsolateral ridge of proximal flange; flange subquadrate densely microtrichiate on basal 2/3, densely setose on apical 1/3; margin deeply serrate. Juxta bandlike. Vinculum semicircular. Phallus and sclerite of phallus longer than valva; phallus and sclerite of phallus slightly curved subapically; anellus constricted beyond base, forming bulbous apical part, bearing two elongate setal clusters on lateral surfaces.
