Two New Species of Gelechiid Moths of the Genus Gelechia Hübner [1825] (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) from Malaysia and the Philippines

Two new species of gelechiid moths from the genus Gelechia Hübner are described. These include G. serratecornuta from both Borneo, Malaysia, and Mindanao Island, Philippines, and G. bifurcata sp. n. from Mindanao alone. The male genitalia of the new species have the uncus with either a single bifurcated projection or with two projections, these making them distinguished from the other species of this genus with known male genitalia.

Abstract

Two new species of gelechiid moths from the genus Gelechia Hübner are described. These include G. serratecornuta from both Borneo, Malaysia, and Mindanao Island, Philippines, and G. bifurcata sp. n. from Mindanao alone. The male genitalia of the new species have the uncus with either a single bifurcated projection or with two projections, these making them distinguished from the other species of this genus with known male genitalia.
