Distribution. Vietnam and Thailand. New record to Thailand. Remarks. Hiroshiinoueana curiosissima (Razowski, 2009) is superficailly similar to Gatesclarkeana idia Diakonoff, 1973 and Ukamenia thailandica Pinkaew & Muadsub, 2020 especially wing pattern and coloration of forewing. It can be distinguished by rather rounded termen and whitish grey X-shaped mark in forewing, hindwing without modified anal margin, and hind tibia without tuft of hair pencils. In contrast, G. idia and U. thailandica has straight forewing termen, middle of forewing with a rounded white spot in G. idia but absent in U. thailandica, anal marginal fold in hindwing and distinct hair pencils in hind tibia are also present. Although forewing pattern of H. curiosissima looks similar to G. idia and U. thailandica but it can be distinguished from the two latter by a large spiny lobe at base of valva (shared character of the genus Hiroshiinoueana) but it is small in G. idia and not present in U. thailandica. Furthermore, H. curiosissima lack spinules on the outer surface of sterigma in female genitalia but it is present in G. idia.Published as part of Pinkaew, Nantasak & Muadsub, Sopita, 2021, First record of the genus Hiroshiinoueana Kawabe, 1978 (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Olethreutinae), with a new record and a new species from Thailand, pp. 442-450 in Zootaxa 5023 (3) on pages 443-444, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5023.3.8, http://zenodo.org/record/522633

The wing pattern of Antaeola rhinosa sp. nov. is superficially similar to that of A. antaea (Meyrick, 1912) but differs by the absence of a longitudinal creamy band along the subcostal area that is present in A. antaea. The male genitalia of A. rhinosa are distinguished from those of A. antaea by having a long, strongly curved uncus, with a narrowed apex bearing a distinct, narrow, horn-like process dorsoapically, whereas the uncus of A. antaea has a wide, spoon-shaped apex without a horn-like process. The female genitalia of A. rhinosa are distinguished by a pair of extended large oval spinulose sterigma lobes, whereas A. antaea has an aciculate heart-shaped sterigma. Description.

Abdomen: Male genitalia (Figs. 7–9) with subrectangular tegumen, moderately sclerotized and wide, with moderately dense scale sockets laterally; uncus long and slender, basal 1/3 widened, subtriangular, with sclerotized lateral edges, remaining part narrow, medial 1/3 strongly hooked; apical 1/3 slightly tapered to obtuse apex, densely setose except at apex, with a small subtriangular lobe apicoventrally and a rather short, narrow, horn-shaped process, pointed apically, slightly curved upward; socius fused to sclerotized shoulder of tegumen, with moderately dense setae; gnathos large and sclerotized, originating at 1/2 of tegumen in length, pointing upward, lateral arms moderately wide with patch of small teeth laterally, apical 1/3 fused, subrectangular, with a narrow, median dentate patch, with wide, truncated apex and shallow excavation medially in some specimens (Fig. 8); vinculum moderately wide; juxta subtriangular; caulis rather short; anellus surrounding basal 1/5 of phallus; phallus moderately long, basal half subcylindrical, apical half tapered to apex, cornuti absent; valva long and slender, dorsobasally strongly curved; sacculus rather small, about 1/3 length of cucullus, with a patch of moderately dense setae basally, ventroapical corner round, irregularly serrate (Fig. 9), valva with strongly curved neck, medially with a short horizontal ridge, densely covered with short setae; cucullus long, slender, slightly narrowed medially, rounded apically, densely setose, mixed with dense spines along outer margin, ventrobasal angle round with an oblique patch of dense, moderately long spines reaching costal margin. Female genitalia (Figs. 10–12) with papillae anales densely setose, tergum VIII large and sclerotized, with subtriangular lateral extension densely microtrichiate, sternum VII moderately sclerotized, wide, deeply concave posteromedially, posterior half with dense microtrichia; ostium bursae small, elliptical; sterigma (Figs. 11–12) with a small semicircular ring-shaped lamella antevaginalis, with distinctly, large, sclerotized, spinulose lamella postvaginalis, a pair of separated ridges dorsally, ventrally fused with two large, protruding, divergent, oval spinulose lobes; colliculum narrow, 1/5 length of ductus bursae; ductus bursae long and slender; ductus seminalis arising near middle of ductus bursae; corpus bursae large, ovate, as long as ductus bursae, two small thorn-like signa from expanded subcircular sclerotized bases. Distribution. Thailand (Chaiyaphum, Chanthaburi, Nakhon Nayok, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Narathiwat, and Sa Kaeo Provinces). This new species can be found in a wide range of elevation between 60– 1,140 m. Etymology. The specific epithet rhinosa comes from rhinos (Greek) and refers to the horn-shaped process at the uncus tip that reminiscent of a rhinoceros’s horn.Published as part of Muadsub, Sopita & Pinkaew, Nantasak, 2023, Description of Antaeola rhinosa sp. nov.
