( Figs. 3 , 16 , 18, 20 ) Parthenodes eugethes Tams, 1935: 261–262 , pl. 15 fig. 7. TL: Samoa , Upolu, Malololelei. Diagnosis. This species is morphologically very similar to Pacifimusotima kosrena Ko & Solis , sp. nov. , but can be distinguished by the following characteristics: a Y-shaped band is present in the basal area of the forewing; the discal reniform patch on the forewing is present; there is an ovate patch in the postmedial area of the hindwing. In the male genitalia, the apex of the uncus is more blunt than that of P . kosrena sp. nov. ; the gnathos is wider and more blunt than that of P . kosrena sp. nov. ; the phallus has a club-shaped cornutus. In the female genitalia, the ductus and corpus bursae are broader than those of P . kosrena sp. nov. Redescription . Adult ( Fig. 3 ). Length of forewing 11–14 mm in both sexes. Head covered with white scales; antennae prismatic, laterally compressed; ocellus and chaetosemata absent; labial palpus upturned, covered with white scales; maxillary palpus short, covered with white scales; proboscis well–developed. Patagium and tegula covered with white scales, except brown band at dorsal center. Ground color of forewing white; basal area of forewing with a brown Y-shaped band; median area with a brown reniform patch; postmedial fascia brown, Wshaped and edged with dark brown lines on both sides, except near M 3 ; Ground color of hindwing white; postmedial area with an ovate patch from M 2 to CuP; fringe white. Abdomen white. Male genitalia ( Fig. 16 ). Uncus elongated, strongly sclerotized, and weakly curved and blunt at tip; gnathos elongated, strongly sclerotized, about 2/3 length of uncus; tegumen almost same length as transtilla; valva nearly subspatulate, weakly curved at costa; juxta membranous, broad; saccus U-shaped; phallus cylindrical, sclerotized basally, with a club-shaped cornutus. Female genitalia ( Fig. 18 ). Papillae anales ovate; posterior apophyses long, almost same length as anterior apophyses; antrum funnel-shaped, membranous; ductus seminalis from near anterior beginning of ductus bursae; ductus bursae membranous, about 1/2 length of corpus bursae; corpus bursae membranous, ovate, without signum.
