Debaratania Pinkaew (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Olethreutinae), A New Gorgeous Genus from Thailand with Description of Its Type Species

Abstract: Debaratania gen. nov. is described from Thailand, with Debaratania bellula sp. nov. designated as the type species. The new genus is characterized by its colorful forewing pattern, sexual dimorphism in the shape of both the fore-and the hindwing, and distinctive male hindwing venation, where M3and CuA1are short-stalked both proximally and distally, with three distinct anal veins. The male genitalia feature a prominent leaf-like uncus and a large tubular phallus with long, narrow cornuti. In the female genitalia, a conspicuous sclerotized platewith a strongly developed thorn-like process is present at the anterior end of ductus bursae.Living and pinned specimens, wing venation, and genitalia are illustrated. Structural features support placement in the tribe Enarmoniini.
