Type locality: Kenya.</p> <p>Diagnosis. The new genus Viperinus has similar external morphological characters to Protolychnis: the antenna much shorter than the forewing length; the forewing ground color dark fuscous, with a distinct orange-white or creamy-white spot near the apical end of discal cell; M 2 in the hindwing absent. However, the male genitalia can be clearly distinguished by having a uniquely specialized pair of arched processes arising from base of each valva. The presence of a polygonal signal plate in the female genitalia of the new genus is also a diagnostic character when it is compared to Protolychnis species having a crescent signal plate.</p> <p>Description. Head: Antenna shorter than the forewing length. Labial palpus with 2 nd segment thickened; 3 rd segment slender, nearly same length as 2 nd segment.</p> <p>Thorax: Forewing is slightly broadened distally, ground color dark fuscous with a distinct orange-white spot at apical end of discal cell; blackish elliptical spots at 2/5 of the wing medially; apex obtuse; fringe concolorous with ground color. Hindwing broader than forewing, brownish gray; termen slightly concave medially.</p> <p>Abdomen: Spinous zones forming a row along posterior margin of each dorsal tergite.</p> <p>Male genitalia: Uncus broad basally, narrowed distally. Basal plate of gnathos produced distally; median process bent downwardly. Tegumen concave into wide V-shaped, with heavily sclerotized anterior margin. Valva with short basal part, slightly convex dorsally near base of costa; cucullus elongated, setose; a pair of specialized, arched processes arising one from each base of valva. Juxta poorly developed. Aedeagus with semi-ovate ventral lobe medially; dorsal margin heavily sclerotized.</p> <p>Etymology. The generic name is derived from the Latin, vipera (= snake) with a Latin suffix, -inus, referring to the snake-like long processes in the male genitalia. The gender of the generic name is masculine.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DECB44FFA5FFAF0CDCFC55FB3DF909	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species is superficially very similar to Protolychnis species, but the male genitalia of the new species distinctly differ by having a pair of uniquely specialized, upwardly curved processes arising from base of each valva (Figs 1D, F). A polygonal signal plate in the female genitalia can also be a diagnostic character when compared to Protolychnis species having a crescent signal plate (Fig. 1G). It can also be separated from the following new species, Viperinus pyknoistus by the shape of cucullus and processes at base of the valva: 1) the cucullus is broader than that of V. pyknoistus; 2) the process has a snake head-shaped distal part, whereas in V. pyknoistus, it has a broadened distal part.</p> <p>Description. Male and female (Figs 1A–C). Wingspan 17.5–18.5 mm.</p> <p>Head: Vertex dark brown with orange-white erect scales laterally.Antenna orange white, about 0.7 times shorter than the forewing length. Labial palpus strongly upturned; 2 nd segment thickened, covered with dark brown scales in basal 2/3, then gradually turning orange white toward apex on outer surface; 3 rd segment slender with sharply pointed apex, nearly same length as 2 nd segment, orange white in 2/3, then gradually turning dark brown toward apex.</p> <p>Thorax: Thorax and tegula dark brown. Forewing slightly broadened distally; ground color dark fuscous uniformly, with a distinct orange-white spot surrounded by blackish scales at apical end of discal cell; blackish elliptical spots well-developed at basal 2/5 across the wing medially, instead of antemedian fascia; costa slightly arched beyond 3/4; apex obtuse; fringe concolorous with ground color; venation (Fig. 1B) with R 1 arising from before middle of discal cell; distance between origins of R 1 and R 2 about 1.6 times longer than that of R 2 and R 3; R 3 shortly stalked with R 4+5; R 4 and R 5 stalked beyond 1/2, R 5 reaching near apex; M 1 remote from R 3+4 at base; M 2 well-developed, nearly parallel to M 1; M 3 arising from near lower corner of discal cell; CuA 1 and CuA 2 shortly stalked for about basal 1/7; 1A+2A narrowly forked at base; cell closed. Hindwing broader than forewing, brownish gray; termen slightly concave medially; venation with M 2 absent; M 3 and CuA 1 stalked for basal 1/5; CuP weakly developed, arising from near base of hindwing.</p> <p>Abdomen: Dark brown, spinous zones forming a row along posterior margin of each segment dorsally (Fig. 1H).</p> <p>Male genitalia (Figs 1D–F). Uncus broad at base, gradually narrowed distally, slightly bent beyond 3/4; apex more or less pointed. Basal plate of gnathos produced distally; median process small, narrow, gently curved downwardly beyond 2/3. Tegumen concave into inverted wide V-shaped, with heavily sclerotized anterior margin. Valva with short basal part; slightly convex dorsally near base of costa; cucullus long, with nearly straight costal margin and arched ventral margin, strongly upturned, apex narrowly produced; a pair of large, uniquely specialized, arched processes arising one from each base of valva, snake head-shaped distal part, with dense setae. Juxta poorly developed. Aedeagus rather small, shorter than valva, narrow, slightly arched in basal 2/5, slightly broadened beyond, with a large, semi-ovate lobe medially on ventral margin; cornutus absent.</p> <p>Female genitalia (Fig. 1G). Eighth sternite slightly emarginated medially on posterior margin, emarginated medially in wide V-shaped on anterior margin. Apophyses posteriores about 2 times longer than apophyses anteriores. Antrum long, nearly same length as ductus bursae, narrower than ductus bursae, heavily sclerotized, gradually broadened slightly toward posterior end. Ductus bursae wider than antrum, membranous; ductus seminalis arising from near posterior end. Corpus bursae elliptical, about 3 times longer than ductus bursae; signal plate polygonal, positioned in basal 1/3 of corpus bursae.</p> <p>Distribution. Kenya.</p> <p>Etymology. The species name is derived from the Latin, orbis (= circle) with a Latin suffix, - osus, referring to the arched process at the base of valva in the male genitalia.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DECB44FFA5FFAC0CDCF8AAFCD1F84E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Town, 550–600 m, 2 xii 1992, leg. L. Aarvik, gen. slide no. CIS-7153, in NHMO.</p> <p>Diagnosis. The new species can be separated from the preceding new species, P. oculiella, by the antenna less thickened and the forewing with well-developed short blackish fascia which is obliquely presented near basal 1/3. It is also superficially similar to P. maculata which is widely distributed in Africa, including South Africa, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya and DR Congo. It can be distinguished from P. maculata by female genitalia characters that are as follows: 1) antrum is broadened in posterior 1/4 with sclerotized lateral margins, and the caudal margin is nearly straight, whereas in P. maculata, antrum is broadened with sclerotized lateral margins in posterior half, and the caudal margin is concave, with sharply produced lateral apices; 2) ductus bursae is more or less broad in posterior 3/4, as wide as anterior 3/4 of antrum, but it is nearly parallel sided in P. maculata; 3) signal plate is crescent, broad medially and tapered to each termination, whereas in P. maculata, it is narrowed, heavily sclerotized as figured in 4E′. The female genitalia of this new species can also be distinguished from P. bastini known from DR Congo and Kenya and P. petiliella known from Uganda by the different shape of antrum: 1) antrum is as long as ductus bursae in P. morogorensis, whereas in P. bastini, it is shorter than the ductus bursae; 2) antrum is sharply broadened from anterior 3/4, whereas in P. bastini and P. petiliella, it is gradually broadened from the anterior base and half, respectively; 3) the caudal margin of antrum is nearly straight in P. morogorensis, but concave in P. petiliella (Figs 4F, G).</p> <p>Description. Female (Figs 4A–C). Wingspan 16.0 mm.</p> <p>Head: Vertex dark brown with orange-white erect scales laterally. Antenna thick, orange white, about 0.7 times shorter than the forewing length. Labial palpus strongly upturned; 2 nd segment thickened, covered with dark brown scales in basal 3/4, scattered with orange-white scales, then gradually turning orange white toward apex on outer surface; 3 rd segment slightly curved upwardly, slender with sharply pointed apex, almost same length as 2 nd segment, orange white entirely.</p> <p>Thorax: Thorax and tegula dark brown, Forewing slightly broadened distally; ground color fuscous dark brown uniformly, with a distinct orange-white spot at apical end of discal cell; blackish fascia at basal 1/3 across wing medially; costa slightly arched at basal 1/5, nearly straight medially, then slightly oblique from beyond 5/6; apex more or less rounded; termen oblique with fringe concolorous with ground color. Hindwing broader than forewing, brownish gray.</p> <p>Abdomen: Dark brown, band-like spinous zones forming on dorsal surface along posterior margin of each segment (Fig. 4H).</p> <p>Female genitalia (Fig. 4D): Eighth sternite deeply emarginated medially on posterior margin.Apophyses posteriores about 1.3 times longer than apophyses anteriores. Antrum long, nearly same length as ductus bursae, as wide as posterior 3/4 of ductus bursae, weakly sclerotized, widened and heavily sclerotized in posterior 1/4; caudal margin nearly straight. Ductus bursae broadened from anterior 1/4, as wide as anterior 3/4 of antrum; ductus seminalis arising from near posterior end. Corpus bursae ovate, about 3 times longer than ductus bursae; signal plate large, crescent, as wide as posterior 2/3 of corpus bursae.</p> <p>Distribution. Tanzania.</p> <p>Etymology. The species epithet is derived from the type locality.</p> <p>Remarks. The female genitalia of this new species are compared with those of its allies, including P. maculata (Figs 4E, E′), P. bastini (Figs 4F, F′) and P. petiliella (Figs 4G, G′). P. chlorotoma with the orange-white median band on the forewing and P. marginata with the orange-white streak along costa differ from the species above, and P. natalensis can be distinguished from its allies by large, distinct spot near the apical end of discal cell.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DECB44FFA3FFA70CDCFCE3FAC9FDCB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

CIS-7476, in NHMUK.</p> <p>Diagnosis. This species is superficially very similar to P. maculata, P. natalensis and P. oculiella, but it can be distinguished from the species mentioned above by the male genitalia: 1) uncus more clavate distally with rounded apex, but relatively less clavate distally in P. maculata, acute distally in P. natalensis and gradually narrowed toward rounded apex in P. oculiella; 2) two caudal processes of juxta symmetrical, much longer than tegumen, sickle-shaped with pointed apex, but relatively squat, nearly same length as teguman in P. maculata, asymmetrical, left one much longer than right one, relatively squat in P. natalensis; 3) saccus long, sharply narrowed toward basal 1/2, but much wider, gradually narrowed distally in P. maculata and P. natalensis and much shorter, about 0.5 times in P. oculiella; 4) aedeagus narrow and sharply arched in basal 2/5, whereas in the latter, gently arched.</p> <p>Remarks. The species was described from Uganda and is herein reported for the first time from Tanzania. The habitus and genitalia of both sexes were recently illustrated by Park &amp; Koo (2020).</p> <p>Distribution. Uganda, Tanzania (new record).</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DECB44FFADFFA70CDCFD75FD33FB12	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
