Description

Ancistroides longicornis Butler, 1874

(Fig. 2: A96; Fig. 8)

Ancistroides longicornis Butler, 1874: 436. Type locality: Timor; Evans 1949: 281.

The length of forewing is 25 mm (n = 1) in male. The yellow patch on the hindwing is remarkable and makes this species considerably different from the preceding taxa.

Male genitalia (Fig. 8). In lateral view, uncus as long as tegumen, basal part hump-shaped, distal end pointed, lower branch finger-like; gnathos curved upwards; saccus about 1/2 the length of vinculum. In dorsal view, middle of basal uncus concave, a pair of distal branches widely U-shaped, tip of both branches pointed. In lateral view of valva, dorsal edge flat, ventral edge evenly curved, tip of distal branch rounded; harpe slant, distal half short fingershaped, blunt. In dorsal view, distal branch of valva trapezoidal, with its proximal inner angle sharply pointed. Aedeagus elongated S-shaped in lateral view, suprazonal sheath a little shorter than 1/2 the length of subzonal sheath. Juxta deeply bifid and U-shaped, basal edge concave.

Distribution. Timor, Sulawesi.
