Abstract

The Miltochrista terminata species-group Diagnosis. In the male genital capsule of the species-group, the valva structure is similar to the M. humilis species-group with its well-developed and slender distal costal and saccular processes, but is distinguished by the modified uncus bearing processes medially or basally, the broad arms of the tegumen fused posteriorly and bearing triangular processes in certain species, and the phallus having a long coecum in a large dorsal process distally of the ductus ejaculatorius. In the female genitalia, the M. terminata species-group is characterised by the large postero-lateral subostial lobes and the antrum bearing a robust crest ventrally. Notes. (1) The species-group currently comprises four species including a new one described below. Members of the group display significant variability in their male genitalia structures (illustrated by Bucsek (2020) on the example of M. vidlickai Bucsek, 2020). (2) Miltochrista malayproducta (Bucsek, 2012) was described without dissection of the holotype, which caused confusion with M. jeremyhollowayi (Bucsek, 2014). The genitalia of the holotypes of both these species were illustrated by Volynkin (2020). Species content of the M. terminata species-group (Species occurring in India are marked with an asterisk) – M. terminata (Moore, 1878) * (TL: India, Khasi Hills) – M. vidlickai Bucsek, 2020 (TL: Laos, Houaphanh Prov., Mt.
