(2017): A new Subleuconycta (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Acronictinae) species from Taiwan. Zootaxa 4237 (3): 593-600, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4237.3.12
41458780FFF2FFA4FF37F8F7FC7C19DE.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Adult (Figs 1 – 4). Subleuconycta calonesiota externally resembles S. sugii (Figs 7 – 8) and especially S. palshkovi (Figs 5 – 6). Reliable separation of the three taxa does not require the study of the genitalia, since S. calonesiota exhibits unique external characteristics: much expanded dark line and patch between the orbicular spot and reniform stigmata and more apically elongated hindwing. Subleuconycta calonesiota can be distinguished from S. palshkovi by its more contrasting wing patterns; slightly darker coloured forewing with whitish suffusion; more visible antemedial, postmedial and terminal lines; the slightly disrupted white subterminal line with dark arrows; much expanded dark line and spot between the orbicular spot and reniform stigmata; the somewhat thicker, rather parallel dark spots on the costal margin; the apically elongated, angulate hindwing with more visible postdiscal line. The new species strongly differs from S. sugii by its average smaller size, finer body; the lighter, greyish coloured forewing, suffused with yellowish scales; the somewhat darker antemedial, postmedial and terminal lines; largerly expanded dark line and spot between the orbicular spot and reniform stigmata; the rather diffused orbicular spot and reniform stigmata, the latter white outlined; the slightly angulate, greyish-brownish hindwing with more or less evenly curved postdiscal line. Male genitalia (Figs 9 – 12). The relationship with S. palshkovi (Figs 13 – 16) and S. sugii (Figs 17 – 20) is evident. The uncus and juxta of the S. calonesiota is similar to S. palshkovi but differing from S. sugii by the medially broadening uncus and the basally narrower juxta. The new species has somewhat narrower, rather parallel and straighter valvae. The distal part of the valvae is more rounded than in S. palshkovi and straighter than S. sugii. The valvae of S. calonesiota and S. palshkovi are widest in the basal second fourth; in S. sugii in the basal first fourth. Subleuconycta calonesiota has shorter and broader saccular processus than S. palshkovi and much broader, terminally rounded than S. sugii. The new species has slightly narrower and slender aedeagus than S. palshkovi and S. sugii. The distal diverticulum of the vesica is slightly smaller than in S. palshkovi and more developed than in S. sugii. Male 8 th abdominal segments (Fig. 21). The shape of the 8 th abdominal segments shows a closer relationship between S. calonesiota and S. palshkovi (Fig. 22) and much less with S. sugii (Fig. 23). The chiasma-shaped tergite is widening evenly in both three species; the broadest, triangular-shaped in S. calonesiota, oval-like in S. palshkovi and rather straight, slightly broadening in S. sugii. The connection of the arms is narrow, “ X ” - like in S. calonesiota and S. palshkovi and broad, rectangular in S. sugii. The “ window ” on the tergite is in S. calonesiota smaller, rounded with a narrow, unsclerotized part distally; in S. palshkovi it is rounded with a broader, unsclerotized part distally; and in S. sugii is more prominent, more or less rounded. The proximal section of sternite is finely curved in all three species. The two lateral section of sternite is parallel, evenly broadening in S. calonesiota and S. palshkovi, in the latter species slightly broader; in S. sugii narrowing, evenly broad. Subleuconycta sugii has bigger, rather rounded sclerotized region in the distal part of the sternite. Female genitalia (Figs 24, 25). The new species has a somewhat longer ductus bursae; rather quadrangular corpus bursae and globular appendix bursae than S. palshkovi (Fig. 26) and S. sugii (Figs 27, 28). Furthermore, S. calonesiota can be distinguished from S. sugii by the prominent, long tubular part of the corpus bursae and the presence of the signum.	en	Kiss, Ádám, Wu, Shipher, Matov, Alexei Yu.

41458780FFF6FFA6FF37F9AFFBA31ED6.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Adult (Figs 5, 6). Wingspan 32 – 34 mm. Subleuconycta palshkovi can be distinguished from S. calonesiota (Figs 1 – 4) by the average smaller size; more greyish and lighter ground colour of fore- and hindwing; the presence of a brownish patch in the basal area; the smaller expanded dark line and brownish spot between the diffuse orbicular spot and reniform stigmata; the less angulate hindwing.
