Tarika kachina sp. n. https://zoobank.org/ urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 7A53CE4B-FF1D-4F46-B5E0-DC508752B1CD (Figs 28, 94) Type material. Holotype (Figs 28, 94): male, “ Myanmar (Burma) | 21 km E Putao | Nan Sa Bon village | 550 m, 1–5. V. 1998 | leg. Murzin & Sinjaev [recte: Sinyaev] | Museum Witt” / “Slide | ZSM Arct. | 2021- 546♂ | A. Volynkin ” (MWM / ZSM). Diagnosis. The forewing length is 15.5 mm in the male holotype. Tarika kachina sp. n. is externally very similar to T. sapa sp. n. and T. spitzeri sp. n. with their strongly convex anal margin of the forewing, and identification requires the examination of the genitalia structures, which in the new species are most similar to T. sapa sp. n. but differ in the markedly shorter but broader distal diverticulum having a short lateral subdiverticulum bearing a cornutus whereas in T. sapa sp. n. the distal diverticulum is elongate and bears a cornutus apically. Additionally, in T. kachina sp. n., the proximal-medial diverticulum has a common base with the distal diverticulum whereas it originates from the main chamber in T. sapa sp. n. The female is unknown. Distribution. The new species is currently known only from its type locality in Northern Myanmar (Kachin State). Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Kachin State of Myanmar, where the new species is found. The name is a noun in the nominative singular in apposition.
