Calamotropha undefined-1

Calamotropha sp. 1 cf. oculalis Figs. 45, 107. MATERIAL 1 ♂ (specimen identifier coll.mfn-berlin.de_u_1e3488, DNA voucher MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL07-G09, genitalia on slide TL1070♂; BOLD sample ID PYPHI143-21). PHILIPPINES: Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Mount Halcon, 1300 m, 15-17.01.1998 (W. Mey, W. Speidel). SIMILAR SPECIES Calamotropha indica (Błeszyński, 1961), C. melli (Caradja, 1933), C. oculalis (Snellen, 1893), Calamotropha sp. 2 cf. oculalis. DIAGNOSIS This species (Fig. 45) is externally very similar to the four species listed above. Calamotropha oculalis is only known from female specimens, hence making comparison with the one male specimen available difficult. In male genitalia (Fig. 107), this species shares the shape of the uncus and gnathos with C. indica and C. melli; however, the conspicuous, ventral, spine-like projections of the valva apex separates this species confidently from the two others. DISTRIBUTION PHILIPPINES: Mindoro. Collected at an altitude of 1300 m. REMARKS One of the two species presented here is most probably Calamotropha oculalis (Snellen, 1893). Błeszyński (1961) examined a female specimen of Calamotropha oculalis from the Philippines (Luzon, Benguet, Irisan) with “genitalia strikingly similar to those of the holotype”.
