Nola
fisheri
sp. n.
7mm. This species is of a similar forewing facies and male genitalia type to
marginata and exumbrata Inoue (Ryukyu Is. (Okinawa)), but the pale
forewing submarginal has a much more strongly angular course. The male genitalia
have a short harpe, notched on one side subapically, and the ventral arm of the
valve has only a small apical spine. The aedeagus vesica has a narrow, elongate
diverticulum that terminates in two equal curved spines (numerous in
marginata; one much longer one with a few small ones in
exumbrata).
