Dasypolia (Tatsipolia) Benedek, Behounek, Floriani & Saldaitis 2011

Subgenus Tatsipolia Benedek, Behounek, Floriani & Saldaitis, 2011 Dasypolia subgenus Tatsipolia, Benedek et al., 2011: 108 (type species: Dasypolia (Tatsipolia) ruficilia Benedek, Behounek, Floriani & Saldaitis, 2011, by original designation). = Dasypolia subgenus Chalapolia, Benedek et al., 2011: 109 (type species: Dasypolia (Chalapolia) brandstetteri Benedek, Behounek, Floriani & Saldaitis, 2011, by original designation), syn. nov. = Dasypolia subgenus Kitapolia, Benedek et al., 2011: 110 (type species: Dasypolia (Kitapolia) kita Benedek, Behounek, Floriani & Saldaitis, 2011, by original designation), syn. nov. Diagnosis. Species of D. (Tatsipolia) are relatively small owlet moths externally reminiscent of members of the genus Cteipolia Staudinger, 1896 (see Gordeeva et al. 2023; Volynkin et al. 2024), from which D. (Tatsipolia) differs clearly in the genitalia morphology of both sexes. The male genital capsule ground plan of D. (Tatsipolia) is similar to Dasypolia s. str. (e. g., see Ronkay et al. 2001, 2014) and the main differences are found in the phallus and vesica: in D. (Tatsipolia), the phallus carina is smooth and the vesica bears one or two clusters of spine-like cornuti medially whereas the carina of Dasypolia s. str. bears a dentate plate and the vesica is unarmed. In the female genitalia, D. (Tatsipolia) has asymmetrical anterior sclerotisations of the ductus bursae (it is evenly sclerotised in the similar genus) and a reduced appendix bursae, which is well-developed and semiglobular or conical in Dasypolia s. str. Distribution. Species of the genus are known only from south-western China (Sichuan and southeastern Xizang).
