Genus Dubatoloviana Bucsek, 2012 View in CoL

Dubatoloviana Bucsek, 2012 View in CoL , Erebidae View in CoL , Arctiinae of Malay Peninsula – Malaysia: 124.

Type species: “ Eilema ” trimacula Holloway, 2001 , by the original designation.

Note. The genus was characterised and reviewed by Volynkin (2021).

Diagnosis. Species of the genus ( Figs 39–52 View Figures 36–53 ) display a substantial sexual dimorphism with the females having a fuscous forewing with yellowish costal and outer areas whereas males of Dubatoloviana have two cellular and one subapical spots, which are absent in other genera in the Brunia generic complex. Additionally, unlike in other related genera, the male forewing of Dubatoloviana has a triangular patch of darker, presumably androconial scales antemedially between the vein A1 and the anal wing margin but not reaching the latter. The male genitalia ground plan of Dubatoloviana ( Figs 81–88 View Figures 78–81 View Figures 82–84 View Figures 85–88 ) is similar to Bucsekatha gen. n. ( Figs 66–78 View Figures 66–69 View Figures 70–73 View Figures 74–77 View Figures 78–81 ) and Sany ( Figs 79, 80 View Figures 78–81 ) but, unlike in those genera, Dubatoloviana is characterised by the broader and strongly swollen uncus, the lack of the caulis, the heavily sclerotised distal section of the costa forming a “cucullus” with a spur-shaped tip, the small and membranous valvula, and the phallus with a ductus ejaculatorius situated dorsally and a dorsal carina lacking the subapical process. The vesica configuration of Dubatoloviana is similar to Bucsekatha gen. n. and Sany but the main chamber lacks the medial cornutus, and the distal diverticulum is short and directed dorsally. The female genitalia of Dubatoloviana ( Figs 107–112 View Figures 107–112 ) are very similar to Bucsekatha gen. n. ( Figs 98–105 View Figures 95–100 View Figures 101–106 ) and Sany ( Fig. 106 View Figures 101–106 ) but have an appendix bursae situated laterally and curved dorsad.
