  • INTRODUCTION

    Genus Amblychia Guenee was established, based on Amblychia angeronaria Guenee as the type species, and comprises about 20 species mostly from the Indo-Australian region (Holloway, 1993; Scoble, 1999). The species of Amblychia show gray-brown wing ground color with a mixture of straight and crenulate fasciae, strongly angular and excavated margin to the hindwing (Holloway, 1993). The male genitalia of Amblychia have a bifid uncus, strong and apically rugose gnathos, rhomboidal valva with short and long hairsetae on the costa and the aedeagus with a small lateral thorn subapically. The female genitalia of Amblychia have the strongly sclerotized, curved ovipositor lobe, densely scaled membranous pair of lobes on the lamella postvaginalis, the short and sclerotized ductus bursae and the large corpus bursae with a dentate signum (Holloway, 1993).

    Genus Peratostega Warren was designated, based on Peratostega coctata Warren as the type species, and comprises four species from northern India, Borneo and Japan (Scoble, 1999). Peratostega species show filiform male antennae and dull reddish brown wings (Holloway, 1993). The male genitalia of Peratostega have a single coremata on valva, the short and triangular valva with double spurs from sclerotized ventral angle, the short saccus, the small aedeagus with a broad scobinate band on the vesica. The female genitalia have the crescent-shaped lamella antevaginalis, the narrow ductus bursae, the pyriform corpus bursae with a straight bifid or bilobed flange (Holloway, 1993).

    In the present study, two ennomine species, Amblychia angeronaria Guenee and Peratostega deletaria are reported for the first time in Korea. More than 10 specimens of Amblychia angeronaria were collected at the most southwestern island of Korea, Gageo-do, and two specimens of Peratostega deletaria were collected at the southern slope of Mt. Halla-san, Jeju-do. Morphological terminology, including the male and female genitalia refers to Scoble (1992). Abbreviations are as follows: TL, type locality; MNU, Mokpo National University; JN, Jeonnam, Province Jeollanam-do; JJ, Province Jeju-do.

    Diagnosis. This species is characterized by the long pectinations of the male antennae, the larger wingspan, a row of white triangular dots on the postmedian fascia of forewing, a dark brown medial line and blackish discal dot on fore and hindwings and undulating postmedial line of hindwing. The male genitalia can be distinguished by the strongly tapered and apically bifid uncus, the large spatulate gnathos, the large and rounded juxta, and the membranous and apically projected valva, with large setae-like hairs on the costa and cucullus. The female genitalia can be distinguished by the long and medially curved ovipositor, the long and sclerotized apophyses, the broad antrum, the short ductus bursae, and the long membranous corpus bursae with a rounded signum with dentate margin.

    Description. Wingspan 67-75 mm. Head: Antennae in male bipectinate with long pectinations (Fig. 1A), in female filiform (Fig. 1B); frons broad, ventrally projected, covered with dark ochreous scales; labial palpi long, almost twice to eye diameter, well projected beyond frons covered with dark ochreous hairs. Thorax: Body and legs covered with yellowish white hairs. Forewing: Ground color ochreous; basal line dark ochreous, suffused with white dots; medial line dark ochreous, slightly rounded; one dark brown discal dot; postmedial line with a row of large whitish triangular dots; termen with dark brown or blackish, undulating subterminal line; apex with one large, light ochreous dot. Hindwing: Ground color brownish in male and dark ochreous in female; medial line dark ochrous; discal dot blackish; postmedial line blackish, undulating; termen with dark ochreous rounded subterminal line; margin medially sharply pointed outward.

    Male genitalia (Fig. 2A, B). Uncus long, strongly tapered, apex weakly bifid; gnathos spatulate; tegumen triangular, almost equal to length of vinculum; transtilla ring-shaped; juxta large, heart-shaped; saccus short, broad. Valva long, strongly tapered, apex projected; costa slender, sclerotized, distally with long setae-like hairs; sacculus long, sclerotized; cucullus basally with setae-like hairs. Aedeagus long, rodshaped; vesica tubular with small patch of cornuti.

    Female genitalia (Fig. 2E). Ovipositor lobe long, medially curved, distally sharply pointed; apophyses posteriores strongly sclerotized, long, almost equal to length of apophyses anteriores; antrum broad; ductus bursae short, tapered, sclerotized; corpus bursae long, pear-shaped, signum rounded sclerotized plate-shaped with dentate margin.
