Glaucocharis sungay Leger 2024, sp. n.

Glaucocharis sungay Léger, sp. n. https://zoobank.org/ D68F24B4-38FF-47B5-91B9-287740C7EE0C Figs. 84, 142. MATERIAL Material examined: Holotype: ♂ (specimen identifier coll.mfn-berlin.de_u_5bf419, DNA voucher MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL08-F09, genitalia on slide TL1204♂; BOLD sample ID PYPHI218-22, Genbank Accession Number PP196898). PHILIPPINES: Luzon, Albay, Amater, Mount Malinao, submontane forest, 400 m, 25-26.03.2000 (K. Ebert, W. Mey). Deposited in MfN. Paratypes: 1 ♂ (specimen identifier coll.mfn-berlin.de_u_ab87f5), 2 ♀ (specimen identifiers coll.mfn-berlin.de_u_ae0f07, e19c94) (detailed information in Table S1; https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.b8gtht7mh). SIMILAR SPECIES Glaucocharis kayumanggi sp. n., G. negrosensis sp. n. DIAGNOSIS This species is externally identical to Glaucocharis kayumanggi sp. n. (see Fig. 25, Fig. 26) and G. negrosensis sp. n. and can only be reliably identified by examination of genitalia. In male genitalia (Fig. 84), the gnathos is broader than in G. kayumanggi sp. n. and bears small teeth dorsally on apical 1/4, the stout ventral hook-like process of the valva is larger than that in G. kayumanggi sp. n. and G. negrosensis sp. n., and the sacculus does not extend distally beyond the ventral process. In female genitalia (Fig. 142), the evenly incurved margin of the antrum ventral margin best separates this species from G. kayumanggi sp. n., where the antrum margin is indented. HABITUS As in Glaucocharis kayumanggi sp. n. MALE GENITALIA (FIG. 84) Uncus ca 2/3 of tegumen arm length, dorsally glabrous, ventral margin undulate, apex pointed. Gnathos projection about 5/3 of uncus length, distal half slightly larger, tongue-shaped, dorsally covered with tiny teeth, apex densely haired. Valva with strongly sclerotized cucullus, projecting distally into a thickly sclerotized hook pointing upwards; sacculus dorsal margin straight, apex conspicuously indented, with dorsal lobe narrower, projecting beyond ventral lobe. Juxta base notched, medially conspicuously widened, apically projected into two thin arms with pointed tip. Phallus slender, curved, sclerotized; vesica without cornuti. FEMALE GENITALIA (FIG. 142) Posterior apophyses ca 2.5 X length of tergite VIII. Intersegmental membrane VIII-IX 1.5-2 X length of tergite VIII. Anterior apophyses ca 2.1 X length of tergite VIII. Antrum narrow, tubular, strongly sclerotized, ventral margin evenly incurved. Antrum-colliculum junction marked, narrow, membranous. Colliculum short, ca 1/7 of ductus length, tubular, sclerotized. Ductus bursae long, curved twice in basal half, roughly straight on distal half. Ductus seminalis branching at distal 1/3 of ductus bursae. Corpus bursae oblong, slightly longer than ductus bursae, scobinate, with well-marked star-like signum near corpus opening. DISTRIBUTION PHILIPPINES: Luzon (Quezon, Albay), Mindoro. Collected at altitudes between 400 and 1300 m. DNA BARCODING The highest intraspecific divergence observed is of 1.15% between MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL07-F10 (Luzon) and MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL07-G10 (Mindoro). ETYMOLOGY From the Tagalog sungay, horn, referring to the hook-shaped projection in male genitalia. This name was proposed by Clister Pangantihon and Beatriz Christalle Seno.
