North-West Indian fauna of genus Macrobathra Meyrick (Lepidoptera : Gelechioidea : Cosmopterigidae)
Abstract
Two first representative species of genus Macrobathra Meyrick viz., gentilis Meyrick and ochrefasciata sp. nov. are reported from three inadequately surveyed North-West Indian states, namely Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan. With the addition of another new species, total number of species under the aforementioned genus is enhanced to eight from India. The present communication deals with the structure of genitalia and salient morphological features of already known M. gentilis along with detailed account of M. ochrefasciata sp. nov. The text of both species is supported by relevant pictorial depictions.
Keywords: Cosmopterigidae, Macrobathra, 2 species, new record, North-West India.
