Lopharcha moriutii, sp. nov. and Polylopha cassiicola Liu & Kawabe (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae, Chlidanotinae, Polyorthini) from Thailand and Hong Kong Author Nasu, Yoshitsugu text Zootaxa 2006 1369 55 61 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.174871 5c4e862e-3b9d-4764-9231-709ab4f38c66 1175-5326 174871 Polylopha cassiicola Liu & Kawabe, 1993 Figs. 2 , 5, 6 , 8 Polylopha cassiicola Liu & Kawabe, 1993 : 404 , figs. 1–15 (adult, wing venation, ď and Ψ genitalia, larva, pupa); Liu & Li, 2002 : 27 , color pl. 1, fig. 3, pl. 1, fig. 3, pl. 54, fig. 3, pl. 99, fig. 3 (adult, ď and Ψ genitalia); Brown et al. , 2005 : 511 . Diagnosis. Sexual dimorphism is not pronounced. Wing expanse is 9–12 mm . The species has a bicolored forewing, with the basal 1/3 dark grayish brown and the apical 2/3 brownish ( Fig. 2 ). The male genitalia are characterized by a long aedeagus, valva with a process on sacculus, and large vinculum ( Figs. 5, 6 ). The female genitalia are characterized by a large rectangular sterigma, a sclerotized ductus bursae and a hornshaped signum with a round top ( Fig. 8 ). The moth is distinguishable from its congeners by these characters. Material examined. China : Hong Kong , Victoria Peak ( 400 m ), 2ď, 1Ψ, vii.1991 , K. Li leg., 1ď, viii.1991 , K.

Sterling leg., 2ď, 2002, M. S. Sterling leg. (all BMNH ). Distribution. South China . Host plant. Lauraceae : Cinnamomum cassia Presl , C. camphora (L.) Presl, C. parthenoxylon (Jack) Meisn. ( Liu & Kawabe, 1993 ) . Biology. The adult moths are attracted to light. The larvae bore into the twigs of the host plant ( Liu & Kawabe, 1993 ). Remarks. Liu & Kawabe (1993) and Liu & Li (2002) gave only simple line drawings of the adult and genitalia of the species. Therefore I augment those illustrations with photographs. Polylopha is distributed in the Oriental and Australian regions, and seven species have been recorded previously ( Brown et al. , 2005 ). The genus is associated with Annonaceae : P. e p i d e s m a Lower, 1901 (= porpacias Meyrick, 1908) feeds on Polyalthia longifolia (Wall.) Benth. et Hook. (Annonaceae) ( Diakonoff, 1974 ; Robinson et al ., 2001 ), P. hypophaea Diakonoff, 1974 on “kalak” [ Miliusa horsfieldii Baill. ex Pierre ] ( Diakonoff, 1974 ), and Lauraceae : the present species on Cinnamomum spp. The genus is closely related to Lopharcha , and the distinguishing character is noted in the remarks for the preceding species.
