New species of Endoclita C. &. R. Felder, 1874 from Sumatra, Indonesia (Lepidoptera: Hepialidae) John R. Grehan1 & Carlos. G. C. Mielke2, Pages 17-35, Published: 30 March 2016
Abstract
Endoclita fahringeri sp. n. is described from a unique high elevation female from 3,000 m in the Leuser Mountains of northern Sumatra, Indonesia. Considerable loss of forewing scales precludes complete characterization of external appearance, but several distinct features are identified and the species can be also separated from all other Endoclita spp. by forewing and hindwing shape and ornamentation. Female genitalia are compared with the limited descriptions available for other species. The conservation importance of this species is discussed with respect to biogeography and future economic pressures on the regional ecosystem. The female holotype will be deposited in the Museum Zoologicum Bogoriensis, Cibinong, Java, Indonesia. Dorsal images of the holotypes of E. aroura Tindale, 1958, E. Taranu Tindale, 1958, E. niger (van Eecke, 1915), and E. raapi Tindale, 1958 are provided in colour.
