Diagnosis.
Haritalodes basipunctalis
can be diagnosed by the whitish fore- and hindwings with blackish medial lines and horizontal lines on the veins of subtermen.
H. basipunctalis
is externally similar to
H. derogata
(Fabricius, 1775)
in wing pattern elements, but can be distinguished by the thick and smoothly lined subterminal line and straight subtermen of the hindwing. The male genitalia of
H. basipunctalis
are similar to those of
H. derogata
but can be distinguished by the relatively long basal process of the sacculus of valva.
Description.
Wingspan
33–35mm
. Antennae filiform; frons broad, white; maxillary palpi minute, tip whitish; labial palpi moderate in length, about twice to eye diameter, white, 2
nd
segment tinged with dark ochreous scales. Body white. Forewing light white in ground color; basal part with about three black dots and light blackish lunulate short line; antemedial line blackish, slanted; postmedial line blackish, costally weakly dentate, medially undulating and strongly curved inward, dorsally meets antemedial line; central fascia costally broad, tapered from middle to dorsum, three blackish large irregulars shaped dots; subtermen with horizontal blackish lines on veins, relatively thick dark blackish band; termen lined with black; fringe mixed with white and black hairs. Hindwing whitish in ground color; anteriorly with black dot and line; postmedial line thick, blackish, medially projected outward, weakly undulating; subtermen with blackish horizontal lines on veins and thick line that dorsally bent; termen line with black.
Male genitalia.
Uncus long, triangular, basally thicker, tapered distally, apex obtuse with bilobed tip; gnathos simple, not strongly projected; vinculum medially strongly convex; juxta narrow; saccus medially projected. Valva long, basally with a pair of sacs of coremata, distally expanded; costa sclerotized, basally broader, tapered distally; fibula slender digitiform process with hairs; sacculus weakly sclerotized. Aedeagus long, slender, apically with minute spicules; cornutus thin rod-shaped process.
Female genitalia.
Papillae anales small; posterior apophyses basally thick, short almost 1.3 of 8
th
segment; anterior apophyses basally thicker, gradually tapered distally, longer than 8
th
segment; ostium bursae large, funnel-shaped; ductus bursae long, striated, posterior 2/3 curved, anterior to ostium bursae with ductus seminalis; corpus bursae large ovate, signa two rounded patches of minute spicules located in the opposite position.
Distribution.
South Korea
and
Japan
.
DNA barcoding.
One specimen from
South Korea
(
OK501202
) was sequenced, and the genetic differences between
H. basipunctalis
and its relatives,
H. derogata
were 8.4%.
Remarks
. The genus
Haritalodes
comprises 11 species worldwide (
Nuss
et al
., 2003
–3021) and the species of the genus feed on
Malvaceae
,
Amaranthaceae
, and
Moraceae (Mally
et al
., 1999)
. Furthermore,
H. derogata
feeds on
Hibiscus syriacus
,
H. mutabilis
,
H. hamabo
,
Abelmoschus esculentus
,
Corchoropsis crenata
, and
Gossypium
(Malvaceae)
, and
Tiliaceae
in
Japan
. In
South Korea
, two species of
Haritalodes
are known.
