Slide No. INU- 7020L(INU).</p> <p>Diagnosis. Palpita incesta sp. nov. is morphologically similar to P. inusitata (Butler), but can be distinguished by the following characters: ground color of wings grayish white (Fig. 1); in male genitalia, sacculus not projected at distal 1/3 (Fig. 3); in female genitalia, ductus bursae entirely sclerotized, except for partly membranous laterally and folded at middle (Fig. 5). In P. inusitata, ground color of wings white (Fig. 2); in male genitalia, sacculus projected at distal 1/3 (Fig. 4); in female genitalia, ductus bursae membranous overall, except for partly sclerotized near antrum and not folded at middle (Fig. 6).</p> <p>Description. Adult (Figs. 1–4). Length of forewing 10–11 mm in both sexes. Vertex covered with grayish white scales; frons flat, covered with grayish white scales; antenna filiform; chaetosema absent; labial palpus upturned, brown, mixed with grayish-white scales; proboscis brown, mixed with grayish-white scales. Patagium and tegula grayish white. Ground color of forewing grayish white; costal margin brownish orange; basicellular dot brownish orange; midcellular mark brownish orange, semicircular, edged with brown line; infracellular mark brownish orange, edged with brown line; discal mark brownish orange, reniform, edged with brown line; subterminal fascia brown, irregularly undulate; terminal area with two brown dots at R 5 and M 1; fringe grayish white. Ground color of hindwing grayish white; basal area with a brown dot; posterior discal dot brownish orange, irregularly ovoid, edged with brown line, with black dot at 1/3 of M 2; subterminal fascia brown, irregularly undulate; terminal area with three brown dots at Rs, M 1, CuP; tornal dot brown; fringe grayish white (Fig. 1). Abdomen slender, grayish white (Fig. 1).</p> <p>Male genitalia (Fig. 3). Uncus rod–shaped, widened at base; valva ovoid, weakly sclerotized from basal to postmedian area, sparsely setose at apex; costa arched, strongly sclerotized; sacculus strongly sclerotized, expanded near apex of valva, tip of sacculus pointed; juxta lobate, strongly sclerotized; saccus small, U-shaped; phallus cylindrical, sclerotized ventrally, almost same length as valva, with one long and two short, thorn-like cornuti (Fig. 3). Female genitalia. Papilla anales simple, setose; posterior apophyses about half length of anterior apophyses; antrum broad, sclerotized; ductus bursae about 3 times length of corpus bursae, sclerotized overall, except partly membranous at laterally, swollen near antrum and strongly curved, folded at middle; corpus bursae ovate, with a pair of spine-shaped signa (Fig. 5).</p> <p>Distribution. Laos (Ban Tha).</p> <p>Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin incesta, referring to the cloudy wings of the adults.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/131C7110FF8D0902FF58FD2483988935	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
