7BF5F85461F2507F95175E720F7A12AD.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The generic epithet derives from the combination of " Tabwe- " (from Mt Tabwemasana in Espiritu Santo Island) and " - cala " (from the Greek " κᾰλή ", meaning " nice "); it is feminine in gender.	en	Zilli, Alberto (2021): Tabwecala robinsoni gen. nov., sp. nov., from Vanuatu and its systematic position in the ' Ophiusini - Poaphilini ' clade (Lepidoptera, Erebidae). Nota Lepidopterologica 44: 193-211, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/nl.44.70359, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/nl.44.70359
7BF5F85461F2507F95175E720F7A12AD.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The absence of sexual dimorphism in the labial palpi, the presence of two anterior spines on the male profemur, the absence of spines on male tibiae, the presence of an androteca on male mesotibia, the strongly modified male metatibia bearing a dorsal hair pencil, the tuba analis without scaphium and with a deep, hood-like scaphial pocket, and the sterigma projected posteriorly into a free end, represent altogether a combination of characters not seen, at the author's best knowledge, in other genera of the Erebidae.	en	Zilli, Alberto (2021): Tabwecala robinsoni gen. nov., sp. nov., from Vanuatu and its systematic position in the ' Ophiusini - Poaphilini ' clade (Lepidoptera, Erebidae).

15EEDF9997655977963EC1389D208105.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species is dedicated to the memory of the collector of the type series Gaden S. Robinson (1949 - 2009), former researcher and curator of Lepidoptera at the then British Museum (Natural History). The specific epithet is a noun in the genitive case.	en	Zilli, Alberto (2021): Tabwecala robinsoni gen. nov., sp. nov., from Vanuatu and its systematic position in the ' Ophiusini - Poaphilini ' clade (Lepidoptera, Erebidae). Nota Lepidopterologica 44: 193-211, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/nl.44.70359, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/nl.44.70359
15EEDF9997655977963EC1389D208105.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species looks superficially similar to species of the ophiusine genus Artena Walker, 1858, especially members of Artena rubida - group, namely A. reggiantii Zilli & Lourens, 2018, A. velutina (L. B. Prout, 1919) and A. rubida (Walker, [1863]), but is easily recognisable by the non-sexually dimorphic, slender rod-like third joints of labial palpi, rough instead of plain scaling of head and thorax, uniformly dark-coloured forewing without pale antemarginal field, larger, more centrally- and transversely positioned pale band of the hindwing and conspicuous scent tufts on the upperside of male metatibiae. Also somewhat resembling in habitus members of the poaphiline genus Achaea Huebner, 1823 and the yet incertae sedis genus Leistera Swinhoe, 1909, the latter showing another unusual combination of characters (type species, Catephia pulchristrigata Bethune-Baker, 1906, examined), e. g. no androteca as in Catephiini (Berio 1992) but unlike these with spines on male meso- (weakly) and metatibiae, uncus with dorsal peak and valva structured as in several members of the Ophiusini + Poaphilini clade, including also single tubular dorsal corema from its base. Nonetheless, no Achaea species with forewing completely deprived of pattern are known to date, and the arabesqued ornamentation of forewing of species of Leistera will prevent any confusion.	en	Zilli, Alberto (2021): Tabwecala robinsoni gen. nov., sp. nov., from Vanuatu and its systematic position in the ' Ophiusini - Poaphilini ' clade (Lepidoptera, Erebidae).
