- Stenoloba viridibrunnea Behounek & Kononenko sp. n. (Figs. 19, 20, 43) Type material. Holotype: male, [Indonesia] Sumatra, Dairi Mts. (West of Lake Toba), 1500 m, 8.–9.xi.1980 (E. W. Diehl leg.), genitalia slide GB5647male. Paratypes: 1 male, same locality, data and collector; genitalia slide: GB5316 male; 1 m, same locality and collector, 30.vii–3.viii 1981, genitalia slide: GB7209 male. The type series is in the collection G. Behounek, to be deposited to ZSM, Munich, Germany. Diagnosis. The new species differs externally from its allies by dark mossy-green ground color of forewing with black and whitish elements of wing pattern. In male genitalia it is close to S. robusta, but differs by shorter and wider uncus, somewhat less arched and wider valva and long tubular vesica with small basal diverticulum. Female unknown. Description. Adult (Figs. 19, 20). Wingspan: male, 19–21 mm, female 22–25 mm. Head, thorax and ground color of forewing brownish mossy-green; basal field mossy-green, in costal area bordered by black basal line and surrounded with white diffused line; antemedial line twin, formed by dentate blackish line; medial field mossy-green, darker in inner part; medial line marked on costal area by black diffused line; orbicular indistinct, traceable as two whitish dots; reniform 8-shaped, bordered by black, with twin white nucleus inside, surrounded with whitish suffusion extending to costa; postmedial line arising from costal margin behind reniform, black with white surrounding, little waved; subterminal and terminal fields mossygreen, weakly separated by indistinct white line, with whitish suffusion in costal part; subapical streak distinct dark brownish-green; terminal line as row of broken streaks; cilia brownish-green, whitish in front of veins. Hindwing brownish-grey, darker towards outer margin, with traceable discal spot and medial line; cilia brownish-grey, pale grey-yellowish basally. Male genitalia (Fig. 43). Uncus vestigial, small, about half length of S. robusta, rather broad, apically pointed; tegumen and vinculum thin, tegumen about 1.5 times higher than vinculum; juxta shield-like, transtilla weak, with weakly sclerotized plates; valva somewhat more massive compared with S. robusta, less curved and gradually tapered apically, bearing one strong spine on apex; sacculus rather massive, with large saccular plate, extending above edge of valva; aedeagus shorten than in S. robusta, vesica membranous, tubular, with subbasal diverticulum, without scobination or minute cornuti. Distribution. (Fig. 78). Indonesia, Sumatra. The species is known only from its type-locality, it occurs in mountains at an elevation of 1500 m. Etymology. The species name is derived from its characteristic brownish-green wing coloration.
