481559B7454059088A9AF2B6DF18A23E.taxon	description	Description. Adult (Fig. 1 A, B). Male wingspan (25.4 mm), smaller than female (28 - 32 mm). Forewing with basal area divided by the basal line which is brownish towards the base and with a greenish area between the basal line and the antemedial line. Costa with slight reddish tinge. Medial area dark olive green with dark brown on the inner margin of the antemedial and postmedial lines, distally with bidentate projection towards the termen in the central zone, with some lobulation towards the anal margin and with an angled insertion towards the costa. Postmedial fascia, narrow, with shadows of a dividing line. Terminal area, less dark than in females, therefore it has a less marked wavy line and only slightly dark spots around this line in, and just below, a subapical position and sometimes lower. Hindwing dark grey to brownish, with a barely contracted postmedial fascia. Male genitalia (Fig. 1 C) well matching genus characteristics with uncus, broad, rounded, dome-shaped. Sclerotised costa of valva with bifurcated projection dorsally with two projections with truncated tips, one narrower dorsally and one wider laterally, apex of the valva, rounded bent and with a slight dorso-subapical concavity. Bases of sacculi long. Saccus broad. Manica spinose on a plate located between juxta and distal part of the aedeagus, which during the dissection process may adhere to the aedeagus or remain adjacent to the juxta. Aedeagus length about 1.4 mm with a very small keel basally at coecum, vesica lobulated with a narrow elongated plate sclerotised with small spines basally (Fig. 1 D). Tergum and sternum A 8 sclerotised to a continuous ring with a sclerotised plate ventrally with bilobed and wider tip (Fig. 1 E). Female genitalia. See Hausmann and Viidalepp (2012; p. 657, fig. 76).	en	Guerrero, Juan J., Hausmann, Axel, Rubio, Rosa M., Garre, Manuel, Ortiz, Antonio S.

481559B7454059088A9AF2B6DF18A23E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Euphyia vallantinaria is similar to E. biangulata differing in narrower postmedial fascia of forewing with shadows of a dividing line, females with terminal area darker, wavy line conspicuous, hindwing darker with out well-marked white postmedial fascia and a large genetic distance (5.6 %) (Hausmann 2011). Can be easily confused with Colostygia olivata ([Denis & Schiffermueller], 1775), but the latter shows longer pectination of the male antennae, usually a wider medial area which is delimited by less straight lines. Diagnostic characters are found in the male genitalia which differ from E. biangulata in uncus sub-triangular and forked dorsal projections of costa, more pointed at tips, valvae straight dorsally, without dorsal cleft or concavity in subapical position and ventrally bilobous (Fig. 1 F-H).	en	Guerrero, Juan J., Hausmann, Axel, Rubio, Rosa M., Garre, Manuel, Ortiz, Antonio S.
