Abstract The fbllowingfournew subspecies of Ourapter:px

species and one new are described:
OL cordijbra from Sulawesiand F]ores,O, nonmarginata from Palawan,Philippines,O. suiphun
ea from Negros, Philippines, O. diluculumfrom Sulawesi and O. picticaudota paldwanensis
from Palawan. Moth specimens and genitalia ofboth sexes are Mustrated.

Key words Ourcrptet:yx,

furca, Sulawesi,Flores, Philippines,Palawan, Negros.

Ouraptetl,x contij2rra sp. noy. (Figs

1,2)'

Wingspan: dZ 49-51mm, ? 57rnm. Very similar to apodoiZFiata Guenee (Holloway,

1994:57,fig.79 (male genitalia),pl,3: 1),but hindwing with tailbroader,with spatulate or
a little
expanded apex, shoulder at the end of yein 6 weaker. Colour and maculation of
wings almost identical with potlainTinta.

Male genitalia(Fig. 15). Gnathos with central scobinate area obleng. Valva with costa
weakly curved, apex triangularlyproduced, valvula with flat apex. Furca at right side
straight, scarcely reaching gnathos. Cornuti two masses of spines, the caudal spines much
longerand largerthan the basalones. In podofikiata the characteristic stick-like process of
furcais replaced by a broad apical plate,an exceptional structure fbr 0urapter:yx.
Female genitalia (Fig, 20). Ductus bursaestrongly sclerotized, lessslender than in poclaIZ}L
iata,almost straight, a littlelongerthan double the width. Cerpus bursaespherical, densely
wrinkled, signum absent.

Although the male genitalia
of this new species from those ofpociatidata,
are quitedistinct
itsshape of wings, colour and maculation apd femalegenitaliaare very similar to it. The
absence of signum and strongly wrinkled surface of corpus bursaeshared between the two
species are unique in OurapteT:yx.

Ouraptnet:yx
suiphunea sp. noy. (Figs
7,8)
Wingspan: cfn 37-42 mm, \ 40-43 mm. Very similar to sulphur-yellow winged spocimens
of O, versuta Prout (1928: 208) (Figs 9,10) from Sulawesi,but hindwing with tai1 more
sharply po{nted. Forewing with discocellular bar more conspicuous. Hindwing with
costal area to dorsalmargin of cell and vein 6 widely white, unmarked, while in versuta the
unmarked area isconfined to a narrow dorsalmarginal area. Postmedianlinestarting from
near dorsalangle of discecellulars, reaching vein 2, then incurvedand gradually vanishing to
near tornus, while in versuta postmedianlinestarting from vein 8,runnjng midway between
discocellular bar and termen likepodoliiriata and cordijrera, vanishing at vein 2 or running
intohindmarginnear tornus. In bothspecies there are two red spots surrounded by a dark
grey shade at the base of the, tail, but the dorsalone in this new species issmaller than in
versuta.

Male genitalia (Fig,18). Uncus much longerthan in versuta. Furca at rightside gently
incurved,reaching near middle of gnathos likethe preceding species, while in versuta furca
at left
side isvery slender, almost straight to the middle of uncus. Aedeagus broader and
shorter, spines of cornutus much thicker than in versuta.

Female genitalia(Fig. 21). Ductus bursaevery broad,nearly as longas corpus bursae,thinly

ribbed. In versuta ductusbursaeis much shorter, continuing to ovate corpus bursae,the
caudal partof which issclerotized as a broad and irregular band, an unusual structure fbr
