DIAGNOSIS

The forewing of the male of Glaucocharis hamulus sp. n. (not shown) is externally identical to G. kabundukanis sp. n. and can be only reliably identified by examination of male genitalia. In male genitalia ( Fig. 81 View Figs 76-81 ), the apex of the costal arm is projected beyond the valva and is curved upwards into a tip, and the juxta apex is deeply notched. Females are unknown.

HABITUS

As in Glaucocharis kabundukanis sp. n.

MALE GENITALIA ( FIG. 81 View Figs 76-81 )

Uncus as long as tegumen arm length, slender, regularly curved downwards, apex spatulate, slightly pointing downwards. Gnathos projection about 5/6 of uncus length, slen-der, narrowing towards apex, apex tip pointed upwards. Tegumen arms slightly angled at distal 1/3. Valva basally with three conspicuous, sclerotized bristles; dorsal and ventral margin straight, valva apex rounded; costal process forming narrow arm, distally projecting beyond valva, apex bent upwards, forming pointed tip. Juxta basally rounded, apically broadly notched. Vesica with row of ca 15 cornuti.

FEMALE GENITALIA

Unknown.

DISTRIBUTION

PHILIPPINES: Luzon (Benguet), Negros. Collected at altitudes between 750 and 1400 m.

DNA BARCODING

The highest intraspecific divergence observed is of 1.9% between samples MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL10-A11 and MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL11-C03, both from Benguet (Luzon).

ETYMOLOGY

From the Latin hamulus , i, hook, refering to the hook-shaped apex of the costal process in male genitalia.
