Abstract

The Chinese species of the genus Ditrigona Moore, 1888 are reviewed and an annotated catalogue is provided. Four new species are described from China: Ditrigona sinespina Jiang & Han, sp. nov., Ditrigona parva Jiang & Han, sp. nov., Ditrigona concava Guo & Han, sp. nov., and Ditrigona fusca Guo & Han, sp. nov. Deroca crystalla Chu & Wang, 1987 and Auzatella pentesticha Chu & Wang, 1987 are newly combined into, respectively, the derocina and quinaria species groups of Ditrigona. Ditrigona diana Wilkinson is newly recorded in China. This results in 43 species of Ditrigona for the fauna of China. Illustrations of habitus and genitalia of the new species and most known species are presented.

Introduction

The genus Ditrigona was originally established by Moore (1888) on the basis of Urapteryx triangularia Moore, 1868 from India. Later, Warren (1922) described Ditrigona regularis Warren from Assam, and Bryk (1943) described Ditrigona regularis differentiata Bryk from Burma. After a long silence in research into Ditrigona, Wilkinson (1968) provided the most comprehensive revision of the genus. He established three new generic synonyms of the genus, and transferred most of the species involved into Ditrigona; altogether he recorded 40 species and 12 subspecies for the genus, including the description of 18 new species and five new subspecies. He also placed the species into four species groups, and provided descriptions and diagnosis of the genus, species groups, species, and subspecies. More recently, on the basis of Wilkinson’s work, Chu and Wang (1988) recorded 36 species from China, including description of a new species Ditrigona uniuncusa Chu & Wang, and these species were included in vol. 3 of Fauna Sinica (Chu and Wang 1991). Holloway (1998) described two species Ditrigona paludicola and Ditrigona wilkinsoni from Borneo. The most recent research was provided by Li et al. (2015), who described Ditrigona clavata from Guangdong, China, and by Jiang and Han (2019), who described Ditrigona tenuiata from Sichuan, China and provided a checklist of the triangularia species group.

Further study of the specimens of Ditrigona from IZCAS and MHBU shows that four new species need to be described. The purposes of this paper are to provide a survey and an annotated catalogue of Chinese Ditrigona species, to describe four new species, to newly record Ditrigona diana Wilkinson, 1968 from China, to transfer two species into the genus, and to provide illustrations of external features and genitalia of new species and most known species. This results in 43 species and 8 subspecies of Ditrigona for the fauna of China.

Materials and methods

The depositories of all the types and examined specimens are indicated as follows:

NHMUK The Natural History Museum, London, UK;

ZFMK Zoologisches Forschungsmuseum Alexander Koenig, Bonn, Germany;

NHRS Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet, Stockholm, Sweden;

IZCAS Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China;

MHBU The Museum of Hebei University, Baoding, China;

XTBG Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yunnan, China;

SCAU South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou, China;

MNHN Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France;

DEI Deutsches Entomologisches Institut, Germany.

Terminology for the genitalia is based on Wilkinson (1968). Moths were photographed with a digital camera (Canon Pc1057). Composite images were generated using Auto-Montage software version 5.03.0061 (Synoptics Ltd). The sharpness-contrast of the photos was enhanced and the plates compiled using Adobe Photoshop (CS 5.1).

A total of 16 specimens of the species of the triangularia species group bearing a tail process were used for sequencing the DNA barcoding region of the mitochondrial COI gene. DNA barcodes of 15 specimens were successfully obtained in this work, and one sequence of D. concava was downloaded from BOLD: its related voucher specimen was donated by Prof. Akihior Nakamura from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences (XTBG). Four of these specimens were D. regularis, one of D. triangularia, two D. tenuiata, four D. sinespina sp. nov., three D. parva sp. nov., and two D. concava sp. nov.

Protocols of DNA extraction and sequencing followed Ban et al. (2018). Details of studied specimens, including GenBank and BOLD accession numbers are summarized in Table 1. Pairwise distances within and between Ditrigona species for the COI barcoding region (612 bp) were calculated, and a neighbour-joining (NJ) tree (Saitou and Nei 1987) was constructed based on the Kimura two-parameter (K2P) method (Kimura 1980) using MEGA 6.0.

Generic characters

The generic characters of Ditrigona and its differentiation from related genera are detailed in Wilkinson (1968) and Jiang and Han (2019).

Distribution

The species of Ditrigona are mainly distributed in the Oriental region.

derocina species group

Wilkinson (1968) placed three species in the derocina species group: Ditrigona derocina (Bryk), Ditrigona diana Wilkinson, and Ditrigona pruinosa (Moore). The two former species have been recorded in China, and a further species, Deroca crystalla Chu & Wang, 1987 is newly placed in this species group in this work.

Species of the derocina species group are characterized by unipectinate antennae and semi-transparent wings. In the male genitalia, the derocina species group is unusual in Ditrigona in having sclerotization of the vinculum, and a quite long and narrow aedeagus. The eighth sternite is distinguished by large and curved octavals, and the tergite protrudes strongly. The female genitalia are characterized by having a very long ductus bursae, an ostial plate, an accessory sac and a long and narrow signum.

Figs 3, 50, 84, 118, 154

Deroca crystalla Chu & Wang, 1987: 116. Holotype ♂, China: Yunnan: Lushui: Yaojiaping (IZCAS).

Note

The species Deroca crystalla Chu & Wang, 1987 was described from Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet. Its male genitalia obviously belong to the derocina species group of Ditrigona, and we therefore transfer the species to Ditrigona. The male genitalia are almost identical to those of D. derocina. However, the corpus bursae of the female genitalia is scobinate, which is different from the smooth ones of D. derocina and D. diana, though they share a very long and narrow ductus bursae and a slender curved signum. The ostial plate is invisible in D. crystalla, and it is most probably present, though it seems that the sternite was incorrectly removed and the abdomen is not preserved on the slide.

Distribution

China (Sichuan, Yunnan, Tibet).

quinaria species group

Wilkinson (1968) recorded 11 species in the quinaria species group: Ditrigona spilota Wilkinson, Ditrigona inconspicua (Leech), Ditrigona furvicosta (Hampson), Ditrigona jardanaria (Oberthür), Ditrigona media Wilkinson, Ditrigona innotata (Hampson), Ditrigona sericea (Leech), Ditrigona quinaria (Moore), Ditrigona obliquilinea (Hampson), Ditrigona idaeoides (Hampson), and Ditrigona spatulata Wilkinson. The former 10 species are recorded in China, and Auzatella pentesticha Chu & Wang is newly combined to Ditrigona in this work.

Species of the quinaria species group share bipectinate or serrate antennae with some species of the triangularia and mytylata species groups. In the male genitalia, the uncus is usually single, but sometimes bifurcate or notched. The single uncus resembles that of species of the derocina species group, but the group can be differentiated by the lack of sclerotization on the vinculum, and the large and broad saccus. The small and setose valva lacking a posterior projection also differs from those in the triangularia and mytylata species groups. The aedeagus is often characterized by the presence of a minute to large apical projection (not present in D. spilota and D. obliquilinea, and the situation unknown in D. innotata and D. idaeoides). The eighth sternite is modified with short octavals, and the tergite is often shallowly to moderately concave, occasionally straight or protruding with tiny lateral projections. The female genitalia lack an ostial plate; the ductus bursae is short and broad, and the corpus bursae usually has an accessory sac and a long and thin signum.

Ashton; 2♂, same locality and collector, 3400 m, 17.VIII.2012. Sichuan (IZCAS): 1♀, Luding, Moxi, Hailuogou, 2596 m, 12.IX.2016, leg.

Remarks

Compared to the male genitalia of the holotype (fig. 17 in Wilkinson 1968) of D. spilota, the socii of the paratype examined are much broader and blunter, while the aedeagus and 8^th segment have no distinct differences. Further study is needed to investigate whether this is intraspecific variation, or more than one species is present in the large type series.

Remarks

Chu and Wang (1987) described Auzatella pentesticha based on four specimens from Tibet and Hubei Province, and designated the female from Quxam, Tibet as the holotype, the male from Zham, Tibet as the allotype, and another two females from Hubei as paratypes. Unfortunately, the genitalia slide of the female holotype could not be found. In the original description, the figure of the female genitalia is from one of the paratypes from Hubei Province. The only male from Tibet has genitalia identical to those of D. sericea, and the two females from Hubei belong to D. quinaria. Although the holotype and allotype specimens were collected from two very close localities (Quxam and Zham are less than 30 km apart), and in a very similar season (7 July, 26 June), we hesitate to synonymize Auzatella pentesticha Chu & Wang with Ditrigona sericea (Leech) without having seen the genitalia of the holotype; however, we redetermine the male allotype as D. sericea, and the two paratypes as Ditrigona quinaria erminea Wilkinson.

triangularia species group

Based on Wilkinson (1968) and Jiang and Han (2019), the triangularia species group contains ten species, in which Ditrigona triangularia (Moore), Ditrigona regularis Warren, Ditrigona uniuncusa Chu & Wang, and Ditrigona tenuiata Jiang & Han bear elongate posterior projections of the hind wings (tail process); the other six species, Ditrigona titana Wilkinson, Ditrigona pomenaria (Oberthür), Ditrigona typhodes Wilkinson, Ditrigona polyobotaria (Oberthür), Ditrigona sciara Wilkinson, and Ditrigona fasciata (Hampson) lack the tail process. The first nine species are recorded in China, and three new species (D. sinespina, D. parva, D. concava) with the tail process are described in this work.

The species with a tail process on the hind wing have quite distinct wing patterns: the hind wing has the postmedial and submarginal lines approaching each other near the anal angle, and bears a small black patch at the upper angle of the tail. The species lacking a tail process resemble some species of the mytylata species group, in that they have transverse lines which often resemble a narrow band. In the male genitalia, the valva is characterized by having a small flap-like extension. The species with a tail process can also be distinguished by the large rounded socii and the stout aedeagus bearing a brush-like cornutus. In the species lacking a tail process, the aedeagus is narrow, straight or bent, and the cornutus is a simple process or absent. The eighth sternite is small, shallowly concave or protruding in species with a tail process, and the eighth tergite almost unmodified. Both eighth tergite and sternite often possess octavals in the species lacking a tail process. In the female genitalia, the ostium bursae is usually large, and the ductus bursae is often indiscernible, but wide and obvious in D. typhodes. The corpus bursae bears a small accessory sac in species with a tail process. (modified from Wilkinson, 1968)

16 DAN barcoding sequences were obtained for D. regularis, D. triangularia, D. tenuiata, D. concava sp. nov., D. parva sp. nov., and D. sinespina sp. nov., and the six species are clearly separated from each other in the COI barcode fragment (fig. 178). The genetic distance between these species is 8.92% (min. 7.16%, max. 12.32%).

Figs 19–20, 64, 98, 131, 163

Description

Head. Antennae bipectinate, with proximal rami shorter than outer rami, the longest ramus about four times diameter of antennal shaft in male; rami quite short in female, almost equal to diameter of antennal shaft. Frons flattened, width less than diameter of compound eyes; white, upper half with a narrow pale brown transverse band. Labial palpus slender, not extending beyond frons, with outside brown, inner side whitish. Vertex white, pale brown anteriorly.

Thorax. Dorsal and ventral sides of thorax white. Tegula white. Hind tibia with two pairs of spurs in both sexes. Forewing length: ♂♀16 mm. Both fore- and hind wings white, transverse lines grey. Forewing with costa pale brown, distal half deeper. Subbasal and antemedial lines slightly bent inwards at middle and costa, the former narrower; postmedial line broad, almost straight; submarginal line double, the inner one slightly wavy and the outer one deeply wavy. Hind wing with antemedial line straight, merging into the elongate grey area along anal margin; postmedial line broader, almost straight, closing to submarginal line near anal angle, forming large pointed teeth on CuA₂ and anal fold; submarginal line double, with the inner one nearly straight and only wavy near anal angle, the outer one wavy, the two lines gradually approximating towards anal margin. Anal margin less extended, possessing a quite short tail process, longer in female, with a small black patch. Fringes pale brown. Forewing underside with costa deep brown in basal half.

Abdomen. Dorsal and ventral sides of abdomen white. Eighth tergite large, nearly quadrate, with posterior margin shallowly concave; eighth sternite concave at middle, forming two small lateral blunt processes.

Male genitalia. Uncus bifurcate over its whole length, both halves short and very narrow. Socii large, rounded. Valva small, ventral margin smoothly curved, distal and posterior margins straight, forming a blunt angle; posterior protrusion rounded. Saccus blunt and rounded. Juxta indistinctly shaped. Aedeagus very stout, terminal part narrower; cornutus a large oval spinose patch.

Female genitalia. Papillae analis short; apophyses anteriores moderate, broad basally. Ostium bursae large; ductus bursae indiscernible; corpus bursae round, signum absent.

Diagnosis

On the wing pattern, D. sinespina is close to D. tenuiata, but it can be differentiated by the larger distance between the two submarginal lines on the forewing, and the smaller tail process. Compared to D. triangularia and D. uniuncusa, the anal margin of D. sinespina is less extended, and the tail process is distinctly shorter than in those two species. Compared to D. parva sp. nov. and D. concava sp. nov., D. sinespina is larger (with forewing length 16 mm), and the tail process on the hind wing is less developed.

In the male genitalia, the slender uncus is similar to that of D. tenuiata and D. concava, but it is longer than in D. tenuiata and shorter than in D. concava. The straight distal margin of the valva is also different from these two species. The shape of the aedeagus, which is broad and blunt posteriorly, also can be distinguished from these two species. The eighth tergite of the male is similar to that of D. concava, but the eighth sternite is different: in D. sinespina it is narrowly and deeply concave, forming two blunt protrusions, while in D. concava it is widely and shallowly concave, forming two small lateral processes. The female genitalia of D. sinespina are also similar to those of D. tenuiata, but can be differentiated by the lack of a signum.

Pan Xiaodan, slide no. Drep-1060, M33196.

Distribution

China (Yunnan).

Etymology

The species is named from the Latin words sine and spina, which refers to the lack of a signum in the female genitalia.

Molecular data

The mean intraspecific distance of D. sinespina is 1.55% (min. 0%, max. 2.24%, n = 4). The nearest related species is D. tenuiata, with genetic distance 7.16%.

Figs 21–22, 65, 99, 132, 164

Description

Head and thorax almost identical to those of D. sinespina. Forewing length: ♂11.5 mm, ♀14 mm. Antemedial line almost straight apart from an inward bend at costa. Outer line of the double submarginal lines serrate. Anal margin of hind wing elongate, with relatively large tail process. Fringes brown. Forewing underside with costa brown at basal half.

Male genitalia. Uncus bifurcate over whole length, both sides broad. Socii large, terminally semicircular, scobinate. Valva small, distal margin shallowly concave, posterior protrusion rounded. Saccus blunt and rounded. Juxta with posterior margin almost straight. Aedeagus very stout; cornutus a large oval spinose patch. Eighth tergite quadrate, with a pair of small anterior apodemes; eighth sternite quite small, posterior margin slightly convex.

Female genitalia. Papillae analis short; apophyses anteriores moderate, broad basally. Ostium bursae large; ductus bursae indiscernible; corpus bursae rounded, posteriorly with a large wrinkled sclerotized area and accessory sac, signum short and narrow.

Diagnosis

The wing pattern is very close to that of D. uniuncusa. The antemedial line on the hind wing is straight in D. parva, but slightly convex in D. uniuncusa. The width between the two submarginal lines is larger than in D. uniuncusa, especially in the female. In the male genitalia, D. parva shares a stout uncus with D. uniuncusa and D. regularis, but the terminal half of the socii are quite different: scobinate and semicircular in D. parva, scobinate and tapering in D. uniuncusa, and spinose in D. regularis. The female genitalia are also different: the sclerotized area on the corpus bursae is rounded, less sclerotized and smaller than that in D. uniuncusa, which has a large oval well sclerotized area; the signum is shorter than in D. uniuncusa.

Figs 23, 66, 100, 133

Description

Characters of head and thorax in male same as in D. sinespina. Forewing length 16 mm in male. Fore- and hind wings white, transverse lines grey. Forewing with costa pale brown. Subbasal line slightly bent inwards at middle and costa; antemedial line straight and only bent inwards near costa; postmedial line broad, almost straight; submarginal line double, the inner one slightly wavy and the outer one deeply wavy. Hind wing with antemedial line slightly convex at middle, bent outwards and merging into the elongate grey area along the anal margin; postmedial line broader, almost straight, slanting outwards and closing to meet submarginal line near anal angle, forming large pointed teeth on CuA₂ and anal fold; submarginal line double, with the inner one nearly straight and only wavy near anal angle, the outer one wavy, the two lines gradually approximating towards anal margin. Anal margin less extended, with a quite short tail process, longer in the female, with a small black patch. Fringes pale brown. Forewing underside with costa deep brown in basal half.

Scale bars: 1 mm.

Male genitalia. Uncus bifurcate over its whole length, both arms slender. Socii large, terminally semicircular, rough apically. Valva small, distal and posterior margin shallowly concave, posterior protrusion rounded. Saccus blunt and rounded. Juxta large, slightly sclerotized, indistinctly shaped. Aedeagus stout, terminal part narrow; cornutus an oblong spinose patch. Eighth tergite quadrate, posterior margin almost straight; eighth sternite shallowly concave, with two small lateral protrusions.

Female genitalia. Unknown.

Diagnosis

The most distinctive character of D. concava lies in the male eighth sternite, which is different from all other congeners by the wide and shallow concavity, bearing two small lateral processes. The male genitalia are similar to those of D. tenuiata and D. sinespina, and can be differentiated by the following differences: the uncus is longer than in those two species; the distal and posterior margins of the valva are shallowly concave in D. concava, but the two margins are straight in D. sinespina.

Remarks

This species was described based on a single female specimen only. Wilkinson (1968) stated that the female genitalia are similar to those of Ditrigona legnichrysa Wilkinson, and he also had difficulty in distinguishing it from D. legnichrysa, though he listed several tiny differences. He suggested that further material was needed to clarify the relationship between the two species.

Figs 35–36, 74, 108, 141, 170

Description

Head. Antennae simple in both male and female. Frons yellow, width less than diameter of compound eyes. Labial palpus with outside deep brown, inner side yellowish. Vertex pale yellow.

Thorax. Tegula pale brown. Dorsal and ventral sides of thorax pale brown. Hind tibia with two pairs of spurs in both sexes. Forewing length: ♂16 mm, ♀15–17 mm. Both wings pale brown, evenly decorated with brown scales, less in basal half of hind wing. Transverse lines absent. Fringes yellowish brown. Underside with forewing deep brown, distal part paler, costa yellowish brown; hind wing with costa yellowish brown, other parts identical to upperside. Fringes yellowish brown.

Abdomen. Dorsal and ventral sides of abdomen pale brown. The eighth tergite with posterior margin concave, with two blunt lateral protrusions; the eighth sternite with posterior margin slightly convex, with two small hooked lateral processes.

Male genitalia. Uncus bifurcate over whole length, the arms narrow and slender. Socii large, tongue-like, of even width, with tips blunt and scobinate. Valva nearly triangular, with tip blunt, ventral margin decorated with tiny spines; basal posterior process bent, tip expanded, with a small accompanying bursa. Juxta rounded, with posterior margin protruding, mound-like. Saccus narrow. Aedeagus slender, almost even in width, tip blunt.

Female genitalia. Ostial pocket band-like. Lamella antevaginalis paired leaf-like. Ductus bursae indiscernible. Corpus bursae rounded; signum a narrow longitudinal sclerotized strip; accessory sac absent.

Diagnosis

The wing pattern is distinctive in lacking transverse lines on both fore- and hind wings. The male genitalia are very close to those of D. candida, D. chionea and D. margarita in the mytylata species group, in that they share the slender bifid uncus and tongue-like socii. D. fusca and D. chionea can be differentiated from those two species by the broader valva, on the base of which a sclerotized ridge is present. The difference between D. fusca and D. chionea in the male genitalia lies in the shape of the juxta, which is widely protruding posteriorly in D. fusca, but only with a tiny process at middle in D. chionea. The aedeagus is also different, straight and almost even in width in D. fusca, but tapering and twisted in D. chionea. The female genitalia of D. fusca and D. chionea are almost identical.

Remarks

There are some variations in the eighth tergite (Figs 148–151), even in specimens collected from the same locality: for example, both Fig. 149 and Fig. 150 are from Emei Shan, Sichuan Province. Inoue (1962) recorded the distribution of D. virgo in central and west China, and was followed by Chu and Wang (1988, 1991). However, when checking the collection of IZCAS, only D. cirruncata was found. The record of D. virgo in China is doubtful. The situation is similar in D. komarovi (Kurentzov), a species recorded from Manchuria, and was combined from Leucodrepana by Wilkinson (1968). Chu and Wang (1988, 1991) recorded this species from Northeast China. However, when examining the collection of IZCAS, this species was not found, and its record in China is also doubtful.

Acknowledgements
