New species is named in memory of professor Zhemin Zheng (1932���2021), a famous Chinese entomologist., Published as part of Lee, Ga-Eun & Li, Houhun, 2022, Taxonomic study of the genus Tenupalpa Lee et Li, 2021 (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae Thiotrichinae) from China, with descriptions of fifteen new species, pp. 75-111 in Zootaxa 5087 (1) on page 105, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5087.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/5819794

Tenupalpa Lee et Li, 2021 Tenupalpa Lee et Li, 2021: 371. Type species: Tenupalpa angustella (Omelko, 1984). Generic characters. Head: With glossy scales. Maxillary palpus 4–articled. Labial palpus slender, strongly recurved, palpomere I very short, palpomere II usually as long as III. Antenna 2/3 length of forewing, male flagellum with long fine cilia. Thorax: Glossy white, cream or grey, without markings. Legs same color as head; fore femur, tibia, and tarsi dark fuscous on outer surface; hind tibia sometimes dark fuscous at middle and at apex, with long bristles along basal 2/3 of dorsal margin, whorls of bristles at apex. Forewing slender, ground color glossy white, cream, grey, or black, distal 1/3 to 1/4 often with an orange patch, a black apical spot often present; ventral forewing with a group of stiff scales near basal fork of 1A+2A; pterostigma weakly or not developed. Forewing venation (Figs 1, 2) with Sc reaching basal 1/4 or 1/3 of costa, R and Rs 1 free, Rs 2 stalked or connate with Rs 3, M 1 free from or connate with Rs 3, M 2 close to M 3, CuA 1 and CuA 2 free, 1A+2A forked near base. Hindwing narrower than forewing, ground color grey, fuscous- or black; apex acute, often narrowly black-tipped; fringe scales sometimes with a black terminal band. Hindwing venation with R joining Sc beyond base, Rs stalked with M 1 at distal 1/5, M 2 often weak, CuA 1 and CuA 2 parallel, discal cell open. Abdomen (Figs 3, 4). Male sternum II–VII with sclerotized plates, VIII round, sub-triangular or pentagonal; tergum VIII reduced, with mediolateral coremata, a linear sclerotization between coremata. Male genitalia (Fig. 5) with uncus small and triangular, often with medial ridge. Culcitula usually present. Gnathos short, hook-shaped. Tegumen sub-triangular, usually with round tubercles medially, anterior margin deeply concave. Valva slender and simple, apex rounded, rarely pointed. Anellus lobe well developed, round, oval, or digitate, rarely asymmetrical, typically bearing a long bristle at apex, bristle sometimes strongly developed as a spine. Juxta simple, divided into two lobes, sometimes with a projection. Vinculum simple, often with posterior margin broadly concave. Saccus broad. Aedeagus with bulbous base and slender distal part, often curved distally. Female genitalia (Fig. 6) with papillae anales setose. Apophyses anteriores as long as or shorter than apophyses posteriores. Sternum VIII medially emarginate or convex. Ostium often small, at anterior or posterior margin of sternum VIII. Ductus bursae slender and simple. Corpus bursae elongate oval; signum semilunar or a linear sclerite, sometimes absent. Distribution. Oriental and Palearctic regions (Fig. 103). Remarks. Superficially, many species of Tenupalpa are similar to those of Pulchrala in having a white to greyish forewing with an orange distal patch. However, males of Tenupalpa typically have unmodified labial palpi, whereas those of Pulchrala have expansible hair pencils on the dorsal surface. Also, the coremata of Tenupalpa are short and situated mediolaterally on tergum VIII, whereas they are rather long and situated laterally in Pulchrala. The presence of tegumen tubercles, which is typical of Tenupalpa, has been reported elsewhere only in some species of Palumbina within Thiotrichinae.

Superficially, this species closely resembles T. crassimedia sp. nov., T. acutimedia sp. nov., T. breviaedeaga sp. nov., T. magniguttata sp. nov., T. perparviloba sp. nov., T. uncativalva sp. nov., T. zhengi sp. nov., and T. dissimilis sp. nov., and it is difficult to separate these species based only on external characters. Tenupalpa acutata sp. nov. is differentiated from other species by the shape of male sternum VIII, which is short and sub-rectangular compared to the round or pentagonal-shaped sternum of most other species. The male genitalia are distinguished by the slender valva, often with a minute spine near apex, and the apically pointed aedeagus. The female genitalia are similar to those of T. flavitermina, but the corpus bursae is narrower, and the signum is situated more anteriorly in T. acutata sp. nov. Description. Adult (Fig. 57). Head: Silvery white, vertex sometimes mixed with grey. Labial palpus silvery white, palpomere II mixed with grey on outer surface; palpomere III as long as II, strongly mixed with fuscous. Antenna with scape silvery white; flagellum dark fuscous except basal half of dorsal surface silvery white, male cilia slightly longer than diameter. Thorax: Silvery white and light brown mixed. Tegula silvery white and light brown mixed, anterior margin usually suffused with fuscous. Wingspan 6.5���9.5 mm. Forewing silvery white to grey at base, gradually darkening toward apex; sometimes basal 1/3 silvery white and distal 2/3 dark grey; anterior edge of costa black; a large, fusiform orange patch extending along costa after middle, its inner margin nearly pointed, gradually broadened toward distal 1/6 of wing, then narrowed toward apical spot, below this an elongate orange spot on dorsum just after fold; a narrow white line between the patch and apical spot, running from costa to tornus; apical spot large, below this a small, indistinct black spot near tornus, between two spots tinged with orange along termen; fringe scales grey, mixed with cream along distal part of dorsum. Hindwing grey except apex black and near apex cream; fringe scales light grey, apical fringe cream with a black terminal band. Legs silvery white; hind tibia strongly mixed with fuscous after middle; mid- and hind tarsi mixed with fuscous. Abdomen (Fig. 20): Male coremata as long as sternum VIII; sternum VIII short, sub-rectangular, posterior apex slightly convex medially. Male genitalia (Fig. 76) with uncus small oval, with a longitudinal ridge medially. Gnathos hook short, pointed apically. Tegumen approximately 8���9 times as long as uncus; papilliform tubercles at middle, each tubercle bearing a long single hair (Fig. 37). Valva slender, gradually narrowed from base to middle, then broadening to apex; costa with or without a minute spine before apex, rounded apically. Anellus lobe oval, approximately 1/5 length of valva; apical bristle longer than anellus lobe, sometimes sinuous, curved inward apically. Juxta with inner margin broadly convex, sometimes sinuous in distal half. Vinculum broad, posterior margin rounded. Saccus broad, sub-triangular, sometimes slightly constricted at middle, rounded apically. Aedeagus with basal 1/3 dilated, distal 2/3 slender and sinuous, acute apically. Female genitalia (Fig. 92) with papillae anales simple and setose. Apophyses anteriores 1/3���1/2 length of apophyses posteriores. Tergum VIII with posterior margin deeply incised at middle, bearing a bundle of setae at the cleft; sternum VIII with posterior margin nearly straight, anterior margin convex medially. Ostium bursae round, located at middle of sternum VIII. Ductus bursae slender, slightly broadened after middle; colliculum reduced, situated at posterior 1/3, ductus seminalis arising from posterior 2/5. Corpus bursae elongate ovate, as long as ductus bursae, often constricted medially; signum small semicircular, placed at posterior 1/3. Distribution. China (Fujian, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hainan, Zhejiang). Etymology. The species name is derived from the Latin acutatus (sharpened), referring to the acute apex of the aedeagus. Variation. Tenupalpa acutata sp. nov. is variable in color pattern, with the forewings of some specimens gradually darkened from the base to the apex, and in others divided into white and grey areas. The termen of T. acutata sp. nov. is usually tinged with orange near the apical spot, and the dorsum is slightly suffused with orange beyond the fold, but these features can also be indistinct. At the same locality, specimens collected in May tend to be larger than those collected in August. In the male genitalia, specimens from Guangxi often lack the small spine near the apex of valva, whereas those from Zhejiang have spines., Published as part of Lee, Ga-Eun & Li, Houhun, 2022, Taxonomic study of the genus Tenupalpa Lee et Li, 2021 (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae Thiotrichinae) from China, with descriptions of fifteen new species, pp. 75-111 in Zootaxa 5087 (1) on pages 99-100, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5087.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/5819794

Wuyi, 19.v.2004, leg. Haili Yu, genitalia slide no. ZJL05256. Diagnosis. Tenupalpa latifasciata sp. nov. is most similar to T. nephodesma; the two share a broad fascia on the forewing and a short projection from the costa of valva. The new species can be distinguished from the latter by the shape of the costal projection, which is longer and slenderer than that of T. nephodesma. The curved, finger-shaped anellus lobes of the male genitalia are also diagnostic for T. latifasciata. Description. Adult (Fig. 48). Head: Creamy white. Labial palpus creamy white; palpomere III strongly mixed with brownish grey, as long as II. Antenna with scape creamy white; flagellum dark fuscous, except basal 1/3 of dorsal surface creamy white, male cilia as long as flagellomere diameter. Thorax: Creamy white. Tegula creamy white, except anterior margin slightly tinged with fuscous. Wingspan 7.0���8.0 mm; forewing basal 1/3 creamy white, anterior edge of costa black; a broad, fuscous transverse fascia between 1/3 and 2/3 of wing, its posterior margin creamy white; distal 1/3 creamy white to brownish grey, strongly mixed with fuscous at apex; fringe scales brownish grey. Hindwing grey; fringe scales brownish grey. Legs creamy white; mid-tibia sometimes with a black spot at distal 1/3; hind tibia broadly black between distal 1/2 and 1/4, black at apex; mid- and hind tarsi strongly mixed with brownish grey. Abdomen: Male coremata nearly as long as sternum VIII; sternum VIII pentagonal, shortly concave distally (Fig. 16). Male genitalia (Fig. 67) with uncus small and triangular, protruded medially, distal 1/2 covered with minute protuberances. Gnathos hook short and thick, tapering from middle to apex, pointed apically. Tegumen with diaphragma spinous in posterior 1/2, anterior 2/5 bearing papilliform tubercles (Fig. 28). Valva slender, strongly curved inward after base, gradually broadening toward apex; costa with an elongate-triangular projection at middle. Anellus lobe digitate, 1/5 length of valva, strongly curved inward, bifid apically; subapical bristle as long as anellus lobe. Juxta with inner margin broadly convex, with sparse setae at middle. Vinculum broad, sub-trapezoidal. Saccus short and broad, sub-triangular. Aedeagus with basal half dilated and distal 1/2 slender, blunt at apex. Female unknown. Distribution. China (Fujian, Guangxi). Etymology. The species name is derived from the Latin latus (broad) and fasciatus (fasciate), referring to the broad fascia of the forewing., Published as part of Lee, Ga-Eun & Li, Houhun, 2022, Taxonomic study of the genus Tenupalpa Lee et Li, 2021 (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae Thiotrichinae) from China, with descriptions of fifteen new species, pp. 75-111 in Zootaxa 5087 (1) on pages 81-87, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5087.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/5819794

The species is distinguished from other species of Tenupalpa by the orange patch on the forewing that extends to an apical spot, whereas in related species the patch is separated from the apical spot by white scales. However, we examined only a single male specimen of T. uncativalva; hence, further examination is needed. The male genitalia are distinguished by the sharply pointed apex of the valva, which is unusual in the genus. Description. Adult (Fig. 63). Head: Creamy white. Labial palpus creamy white; palpomere I slightly tinged with fuscous on outer surface; palpomere III as long as II, fuscous apically.

Abdomen (Fig. 12): Male coremata shorter than sternum VIII; sternum VIII approximately 1/7 length of abdomen, lateral margin rounded, posterior apex abruptly tapered to a shape point. Male genitalia (Fig. 82) with uncus rhomboid, distal margin deeply emarginate, with a sharp projection arising from cleft, exceeding uncus. Gnathos hook moderately long, strongly curved at 1/3, acute apically. Tegumen approximately 5 times as long as uncus; a set of round tubercles at middle, each bearing a long single hair (Fig. 43). Valva curved inward, with long sparse setae, gradually narrowing from base and terminating in a sharply pointed apex, near costa with a short projection at distal 1/4. Anellus lobe oval, approximately 1/3 length of valva, with a strong apical bristle longer than anellus lobe. Juxta simple, slightly convex at middle of inner margin. Vinculum simple. Saccus short and broad, triangular. Aedeagus with basal half dilated, slender and sinuous distally. Female unknown. Distribution. China (Xizang). Etymology. The species name is derived from the Latin uncatus (hooked) and valva (valva), referring to the acute and curved valva., Published as part of Lee, Ga-Eun & Li, Houhun, 2022, Taxonomic study of the genus Tenupalpa Lee et Li, 2021 (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae Thiotrichinae) from China, with descriptions of fifteen new species, pp. 75-111 in Zootaxa 5087 (1) on pages 104-105, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5087.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/5819794

This species is distinguished by a whitish forewing irregularly marked with light brown at the middle, at the apex, and along the fold. The forewing lacks a black apical spot and a distal patch (Fig. 46). Tenupalpa angustella is somewhat similar to T. nephodesma, but it lacks a transverse fascia on the forewing present in the latter. In the male genitalia, the anellus lobes are strongly developed and bear a robust spinelike bristle. Also, the triangular projection of the juxta, the large saccus, and the long distal part of the aedeagus are diagnostic (Fig. 5). The female genitalia are characterized by a deeply incised posterior margin and a short emarginate anterior margin of tergum VIII, and a small semilunar signum (Fig. 85). Distribution. China (Beijing, Fujian, Gansu, Guizhou, Henan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Liaoning, Shandong, Zhejiang), Japan, Korea, Russia. This species is newly recorded from China and Korea. Host plants. Fagaceae: Quercus dentata (Kyaw et al. 2019), Q. mongolica (Omelko 1999; Park & Ponomarenko 2007; Sakamaki 2013; Kyaw et al. 2019). Remarks. The type materials deposited in ZIRAS of Russia were not examined in this study. A detailed redescription of T. angustella was provided in Kyaw et al. (2019). The male genitalia are sometimes exposed and the morphological features can be observed without dissection (Fig. 3)., Published as part of Lee, Ga-Eun & Li, Houhun, 2022, Taxonomic study of the genus Tenupalpa Lee et Li, 2021 (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae Thiotrichinae) from China, with descriptions of fifteen new species, pp. 75-111 in Zootaxa 5087 (1) on pages 78-80, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5087.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/5819794, {"references":["Omelko, M.

Type material. Holotype ♂, MYANMAR, Pyinmana, 18.iii.[?], leg. T.B.F., genitalia slide no. J. F.G.C. 8380 (NHMUK). Diagnosis. The forewing pattern of T. xanthodora is quite different from that of its congeners, with the basal 1/3 marked with black and yellow longitudinal streaks (Fig. 98). Other species of Tenupalpa usually have the base uniformly colored without distinct pattern elements. The male genitalia are somewhat similar to those of T. flavitermina and T. acutata sp. nov. in having a sinuous distal part of the aedeagus and oval anellus lobes bearing a long apical bristle. However, the genitalia of T. xanthodora can be distinguished from those of the latter two species by the valva expanded in the apical 1/3 and the larger anellus lobes. Distribution. Myanmar. Remarks. The species was originally described in Thiotricha based on a single specimen collected from Myanmar (labeled as Burma). The male genitalia and the abdomen of the holotype housed in NHMUK are characteristic of Tenupalpa: small uncus, tegumen bearing a bundle of tubercles (Fig. 100), rounded sternum VIII, and short external coremata (Fig. 102). Based on these morphological traits, we propose the new combination, T. xanthodora (Meyrick, 1923) comb. nov. In our previous work (Lee et al. 2021), we incorrectly transferred Thiotricha glenias Meyrick, 1908, to Tenupalpa. Thiotricha glenias is superficially similar to Tenupalpa species in wing pattern and coloration; however, its male possesses an expansible hair pencil dorsally on the labial palpus, setae are present on the dorsal surface of the tegumen, and tegumen tubercles are absent. These features are characteristic of many species of Thiotricha and Pulchrala. The generic position of the species requires further study, but the combination of morphological characters is certainly not typical of Tenupalpa. Therefore, we propose Thiotricha glenias stat. rev., resurrected from combination with Tenupalpa., Published as part of Lee, Ga-Eun & Li, Houhun, 2022, Taxonomic study of the genus Tenupalpa Lee et Li, 2021 (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae Thiotrichinae) from China, with descriptions of fifteen new species, pp. 75-111 in Zootaxa 5087 (1) on page 107, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5087.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/5819794, {"references":["Meyrick, E.

Diagnosis. Wingspan 8.0���8.5 mm. This species is distinguished by the presence of an orange distal patch and the absence of a black apical spot on the forewing, although the orange patch may be absent, especially in specimens from Japan (Kyaw, Yagi & Hirowatari 2019). Also, there is color pattern variation in the forewing, with the distal 1/3 or 2/3 broadly grey to dark fuscous. The male genitalia are most similar to those of T. acutata sp. nov. Compared to the latter species, T. flavitermina has the valva without an apical projection and a shorter saccus. In addition, the posterior margin of the vinculum is narrowly convex in T. flavitermina. Distribution. China (Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan), Japan. This species is newly recorded from China. Remarks. The type materials deposited in OPU of Japan were not examined in this study. A detailed description of T. flavitermina was provided in Kyaw et al.

Tenupalpa Lee et Li, 2021 (Gelechiidae: Thiotrichinae) was recently proposed based on a molecular and morphological study of the subfamily. It currently includes six species mainly known from Russia, Japan and India. In this paper, 15 new species from China are described: T. acutata sp. nov., T. acutimedia sp. nov., T. angulosa sp. nov., T. breviaedeaga sp. nov., T. zhengi sp. nov., T. crassimedia sp. nov., T. dissimilis sp. nov., T. falcata sp. nov., T. fuscalata sp. nov., T. immaculata sp. nov., T. isabellina sp. nov., T. magniguttata sp. nov., T. latifasciata sp. nov., T. perparviloba sp. nov. and T. uncativalva sp. nov. Also, T. xanthodora (Meyrick, 1923) comb. nov., and the original combination for Thiotricha glenias Meyrick, 1908 stat. rev. are proposed. Five species—Tenupalpa angustella (Omelko, 1984), T. biformis (Omelko, 1984), T. flavitermina (Kyaw, Yagi & Hirowatari, 2019), T. nephodesma (Meyrick, 1918) and T. venustalis (Omelko, 1984)—are reported from China for the first time, and two species—T. angustella and T. venustalis—are newly recorded from Korea. Photographs of adults, genitalia, and the eighth abdominal segment of males are illustrated, and a key to all known Tenupalpa species are provided based on external characters and male genitalia.
