Brunia (Brunikatha) usuguronis (Matsumura, 1927) Volynkin & Černý, 2025

Volynkin, Anton V. & Černý, Karel, 2025, On the taxonomy of the Brunia Moore generic complex with the description of a new genus, a new subgenus and four new species (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae: Lithosiini: Lithosiina), Ecologica Montenegrina 87, pp. 46-76 : 50

The Brunia (Brunikatha) usuguronis species-group

In the male genitalia of the species-group ( Figs 58–65 ), the phallus lacks the carinal process and the sacculus is long and bears a regular distal process, which makes the genital capsule similar to that of the genus Katha as well as a number of other ‘eilemic’ genera of Lithosiina. In the female genitalia ( Figs 93–97 ), the appendix bursae is situated latero-posteriorly on the left side.

Note. Two species included in the species-group are reviewed below.
