Description

Ancistroides fumatus (Mabille, 1876)

(Fig. 2: An10, An11; Fig. 4: An11; Fig. 6)

Tagiades fumatus Mabille, 1876: 271. Type locality: Philippines.

Kerana pravha Fruhstorfer, 1911. Type locality: Bazilan.

Ancistroides nigrita fumatus: Evans 1949: 280; de Jong & Treadaway 1993: 36; de Jong & Treadaway 2007: 34; de Jong & Treadaway 2008: 7, pl. 18, figs. 14–16.

The length of forewing is about 23 mm (n = 2) in male and 25 mm (n = 1) in female. On the ventral side of both wings, the submarginal and marginal area are uniformly pale, similar to Ancistroides nigrita.

Male genitalia (Fig. 6) can be distinguished from those of Ancistroides othonias (Fig. 3) and A. nigrita (Fig. 5) by the following characters: in lateral view, uncus as long as tegumen, lower branch hooked and well developed; transverse part of gnathos obviously longer than longitudinal part; each side of uncus curved inwards in dorsal view, distal half V-shaped; in lateral view of valva, dorsal edge wavy, distal edge protrudent; harpe rubost and tapered; distal branch of valva finger-like and pointed in lateral view, while bifid and decorated with tiny spines in dorsal view, its distal triangular lobe much wider; suprazonal sheath of aedeagus bent downwards; juxta with deeper furcation, basal edge flat.

Female genitalia (Fig. 4: An11) are similar to those of Ancistroides othonias (Fig. 4: A98) and A. nigrita (Fig. 4: An5), but can be recognized by: distal part of lamella antevaginal elongated and tapered into a blunt point in lateral view; distal edge of lamella postvaginalis deeply concave.

Distribution. Philippines.
