Loneura misak n. sp. Male

(Figs 58–63)

Diagnosis. Hypandrium deeply cleft posteriorly in the middle, with the posterior processes proximally wide, narrowing distally, directed postero-laterally; mesal processes apically truncate, slightly curved (Fig. 61); endophallic mesal sclerite processes stout, slightly curved, distally hooked. Forewing pattern as in L. koreguaje. Hypandrium similar to L. javierensis.

Color. Body brown. Head pattern (Fig. 60), vertex light brown; front with brown spots, an ochre transverse band between the inner border of each compound eye, below the lower edge of the ocellar triangle to the epistomal sulcus; a cream diagonal band from the inner border of each compound eye to the epistomal sulcus, at the level of the antennal fossae. Compound eyes black, ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents. Labrum, anteclypeus, postclypeus and mandibles dark brown. Genae ochre. Postgenae light brown. Antennae: scape and pedicel brown; flagella pale brown, flagellomeres with apices cream. Maxillary palps: Mx1 cream; Mx2–4 dark brown, light brown proximally. Tergal lobes of meso- and metathorax dark brown, with light brown edges. Thoracic pleura light brown with ochre areas. Legs: coxae with small ochre spots basally, fore- coxae and trochanters brown; coxae and trochanters of mid- and hindlegs light brown; femora light brown, with two brown spots; tibiae and tarsi pale brown. Wings hyaline (Figs 58–59). Forewing pterostigma dark brown, with a hyaline central area; an irregular, submarginal brown band from R4+5 to areola postica, and a brown band from the middle of Cu1 to distal end of 1A.

Paraprocts (Fig. 62) oval, with distal setal field and macrosetae as illustrated; sensory fields with 21 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Epiproct (Fig. 62) semioval, with short and long setae, and a posterior field of microspicules.
