Zootaxa 5270 (3): 593-598, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5270.3.10, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5270.3.10
03BE7D7C4916FFC2F8CA805945922BB6.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species is morphologically resembled H. pseudobutleri, but the wings ground colour is darker; subapical ventral section of valvae semi-membranous (sclerotized in pseudobutleri); valvae slender (broad in pseudobutleri); ampullae slender and elongated (short in pseudobutleri); ductus shorter and thicker (slender in pseudobutleri); bursa bigger (smaller and rounded in pseudobutleri). However, the Maximum Likelihood (ML) tree of Hamodes (Fig. 9) shows that the new species is most closely related to H. butleri which is unexpected. Within the genus, nine individuals of H. zhipengi are recovered in a clade with strong support (UFBoot = 98). The pairwise Kimura 2 - parameter (K 2 P) distances between the species in Hamodes range from 4.96 % to 9.95 %, and the distances between H. zhipengi and relatives, H. hainana, H. pseudobutleri and H. butleri are 5.21 %, 5.27 % and 6.37 %, respectively (Table. 2).	en	Zhang, Yu-Long, Wei, Fuhong, Fan, Xiaoling, Wang, Min (2023): A new species of Hamodes Guenée, 1852 (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) from China.

03BE7D7C4916FFC2F8CA805945922BB6.taxon	description	Description. Male (Fig. 1). Length of forewing 11.8 mm. Antennae filiform, dark brown; labial palpus brownish; thorax brown, tegulae brown; abdomen dorsally brown in 1 st- 4 th segments, black in 5 th- 8 th segments. Forewing ground colour fuscous brown, scattered with tiny black scales; outer marginal area darker than inner area; antemedial line blackish-grey straight and irregular, extending from costa to 1 A + 2 A; medial line black and obscure, extending from costa to vein R 5 and followed by a crescent-like reniform stigma; orbicular stigma black, dot-like; postmedial line black and obscure, extending from costa to vein R 4; submarginal line blackish brown defined with fine ochreous-whitish line at inner side. Hindwing ground colour same as forewing, median line black extending from Rs vein to middle of anal margin, defined by ochreous-whitish inner stripe, discal spot fine, bar-shaped, dark grey. Male genitalia (Fig. 5). Uncus slender and hook-shaped; tegumen narrow; valvae long and narrow, subapical ventral semi-membranous; ampullae slender and hook-shaped, left slightly shorter than right; costa sclerotized; saccus small; aedeagus thick and long, with sclerotized lamellae. Female (Fig. 2). Wingspan 11.2 mm. Compared with the male adult, the ground colour of the wings is lighter, fasciae and stigmata are dimmer; abdomen dorsally brown. Female genitalia (Fig. 6). Anal papillae thick and long; anterior and posterior apophyses slender; ductus bursae long, flattened tubular, dilated anteriorly, partly strongly and smoothly sclerotised; appendix bursae membranous, slightly helicoidal; corpus bursae membranous, finely and irregularly scobinate.	en	Zhang, Yu-Long, Wei, Fuhong, Fan, Xiaoling, Wang, Min (2023): A new species of Hamodes Guenée, 1852 (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) from China.
