Almost all the Indian species are confined to the Himalayan as well as Indo-Burma hotspot region with the single species, T. cornutitrifurca extending up to Western Ghats of India.</p> <p>Diagnostic characters: The genus Termioptycha is diagnosed by a combination of characters in male genitalia: gnathos medially arched backward or produced into a process, with a process from base of each arm produced in most species and covered with thick and short setae; valva rhomboidal, usually with a process at base, costa with an apical spine; vesica with single cornutus or in form of bunch of spines (Rong et al. 2017).</p> <p>Diagnosis. Due to presence of an apical spine on the costa of valva, Termioptycha is closely similar to Lepidogma Meyrick, 1890. However, the specific shape of gnathos distinguishes Termioptycha from Lepidogma. Externally, the members of Teliphasa Moore also resembles that of Termioptycha, however, the conspicuously sub-rounded valva and lack of costal spine in male genitalia of Teliphasa clearly differentiate it from Termioptycha.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03FF87FDFFA60F537FF1FEFC332BFC2B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Ranjan leg.</p> <p>Diagnosis: Morphologically, T. gnathospina sp. nov. (Fig. 1) is most closely similar to T. margarita (Fig. 7) but is quite distinct in its male genitalia by the robust and spined median arched process of gnathos, presence of mid-costal protrusion in valva and the lateral process of juxta thin. The other closely similar species are, T. cornutitrifurca (Fig. 10) and T. conjuncta (Fig. 12), but in male genitalia, T. gnathospina sp. nov. (Fig. 8) is distinct from T. cornutitrifurca by the absence of apical trifurcate process in aedeagus, presence of a big bunch of spines in vesica, and the inner edge of gnathos along with its lateral arms densely spinous (whereas in T. cornutitrifurca, aedeagus is having apical trifurcated process, vesica with small patch of spines and inner edge of gnathos is not spinous). The new species is slso distinct from T. conjuncta by the presence of a mid-costal protrusion in valva, uncus not bifurcated and absence of hooked spinulated process on the aedeagus (whereas in T. conjuncta, mid-costal process is absent; uncus deeply bifurcated; aedeagus having a subapical robust, angled spine (Fig. 12)).</p> <p>Description: Adult. Head with labial palpi upturned, first segment olive green, second segment whitish and tinged with olive, third segment fuscous. Antennae ciliated with swollen basally. Collar whitish, suffused with olive scales. Patagia whitish, suffused with pinkish scales and reaching upto 1 st abdominal segment. Forewing olivaceous, broad basal olive band having pinkish suffusion on its inner area and outlined with fuscous; an elongated medial rectangular patch on costa with two terminal black spots on its inner edge; a broad, white Y mark, suffused with greenish scales on central area of wing; postmedial greenish line having some black suffusion on it from radial to anal veins, outer area fuscous, a terminal series of black spots; cilia fuscous. Hindwing white; a fuscous patch on mid of costa; a marginal fuscous band, broadest at apex, narrowed towards hind margin; fuscous spot present on vein Cu 1 and 2A. Abdomen covered with whitish patch dorsally, tip olive green. Legs olive grey, banded with white. Male genitalia with uncus almost rectangular. Gnathos broad, strongly sclerotised, inner margin densely covered with small and strong spines. Tegumen broad, shorter than uncus. Vinculum double the length of tegumen, ventrally joined with a thin sclerotised flap. Transtilla membranous. Juxta broad at base, slightly constricted at middle, lateral sclerotised spine hooked and almost double the length of juxta. Valva rounded with apical small spine, costa medially produced. Aedeagus bend medially, vesica with a bunch of apical spine having one conspicuous spine.</p> <p>Etymology: The name of the species is derived from the attribute i.e., gnathos inwardly lined with small, multiple spines.</p> <p>Distribution: So far, the new species is known from its type locality only i.e., Dodak, Sikkim.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03FF87FDFFA60F507FF1FBBC32D0FE7F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

India, SIKKIM, Deorali, 18.ix.2014 (NZCZSI), R. Ranjan leg.</p> <p>Diagnosis: By the darker ground colour of the forewing, T. almae sp. nov. (Fig. 2) is closely similar to T. nigrimacularis (Rong et al. 2017: fig. 4), T. bilineata (Fig. 4) and T. inimica (Rong et al. 2017: fig. 13) but is distinct from the first two species by the paler hindwing and from T. inimica, by the presence of a sub basal bunch of hairs on the inner margin of hindwing. In male genitalia, T. almae sp. nov (Fig. 9) is distinct from T. nigrimacularis (Rong et al. 2017: fig. 14) by the uncus not bifid apically, gnathos protruded medially and valva having mid-costal process (in T. nigrimacularis uncus is apically bifid, gnathos flat medially, and the mid-costal process of valva is absent), from T. bilineata (Fig. 11) by the absence of apical spine of uncus, absence of ampulla and presence of a mid-costal process of valva (in T. bilineata, the rectangular uncus is having apical spine, a conspicuous ampulla present and mid-costal process of valva is absent), and from T. inimica (Rong et al. 2017: fig. 23) by unspined gnathos, uncus almost rectangular, and presence of a mid-costal process (in T. inimica gnathos is densely spined, uncus is broadest medially and narrow at apex and base, mid-costal process of valva is absent).</p> <p>Description: Adult. Dark olive. Labial palpi upturned, 2 nd segment longest, 3 rd minute. Antennae ciliated, basally swollen. Patagia reaching upto metathorax.

Hindwing basal and medial area whitish tinged with pale fulvous and with a subbasal bunch of hairs on inner margin, traces of postmedial line, area beyond it dark. Male genitalia with uncus almost rectangular with small basolateral extension, apex with a minute spine on both the terminal. Gnathos narrowed and slightly protruded medially. Tegumen as long as uncus. Vinculum almost double the length of tegumen, forming V shape. Juxta U shape with lateral process elongate and slightly curved. Valva almost rectangular with apical margin oblique, anteriorly directed long apical hairs; costa with strong central process, an elongated flap running along costa from base to apex of valva, a dorsally directed sclerotised flap from saccular region. Aedeagus arched with a sclerotised spine; vesica with bunch of small spines along with some long spines.</p> <p>Etymology: The species is named in honour of eminent Epipaschiinae worker Dr. Alma Solis, USA, for her great contributions to this field.</p> <p>Distribution: So far, the new species is known from its type locality only i.e., Deorali, Sikkim.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03FF87FDFFA50F507FF1FE4832CAF999	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Ranjan leg.</p> <p>Diagnosis: T. cornutitrifurca is distinct from all its other congeners by the presence of a trifurcate process on the apical membranous part of aedeagus (defined as cornutus in original description). Furthermore, T. cornutitrifurca is externally similar to T. margarita (Fig. 7) and T. albifurcalis (Rong et al. 2017: fig. 8) but is distinct from T. margarita (Fig. 13) in male genitalia by the presence of a subbasal, triangular costal process and arched gnathos being narrowed apically (whereas in T. margarita (Fig. 13), subbasal triangular process of valval costa is absent and gnathos apically rounded). Furthermore, T. cornutitrifurca (Fig. 10) is distinct from T. albifurcalis (Rong et al. 2017: fig. 18) by the lateral spine of juxta larger and aedeagus having a trifurcated cornutus (whereas in T. albifurcalis, lateral spine of juxta is shorter and vesica is having a bunch of small cornutus along with a long cornutus). Another closely related species is T. longispina (Rong et al. 2017: fig. 17) but is distinct by the extraordinary long lateral process of juxta (shorter in T. cornutitrifurca).</p> <p>Distribution: Indian records: Sikkim, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Karnataka (present study). Global records: China, Taiwan (Rong et al. 2017).</p> <p>Remarks: So far, T. cornutitrifurca is reported from China and Taiwan. Collection of T. cornutitrifurca from various localities of Mizoram, Meghalaya Sikkim and Karnataka are its new distributional areas and first record from India.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03FF87FDFFA50F577FF1F953372FFD5E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
