Gibeauxiella
Gibeauxiella is a genus of butterflies of the family splendor butterfly ( Cosmopterigidae ).
Features
The head is scaly smooth, the neck tufts located on the head. The sensors are 3/4 as long as the forewing. The sensor built scourge is simple. The labial palps are slender and elongated. The third segment is angled upwards. The second segment is 4/5 the length of the third. The front wings are lanceolate, have a pointed apex and stains with slightly protruding scales. The venation is fully formed. The veins R4 and R5 stalked with less than half of their length. The hind wings are slightly narrower than the forewings and have a very acute apex. The fringe scales are one and a half times as long as the hind wing width. The veins M2 and M3 are merged, the veins Cu1 and Cu2 are short-stalked. The 8th Abdominaltergit is sclerotized, has short lateral lobes and an oval rear annex ( lobe ).
In the males, the Brachia are not the same length, but the left brachium is shorter than the right. The Tegumen is quite short and wide. The Valven are simple and hardly bristles. The Valvellae are short and rounded, the right Valvella is longer than the left. Another pair of slightly asymmetrical appendages located between the aedeagus and the Valven. The aedeagus is short and curved, tapering distally. Cornuti are not present.
The genital armature of the female is unknown.
Dissemination
The representatives of the genus Gibeauxiella are located in Europe in France.
Biology
The biology of the species is unknown. The doll of the type species was found in a tree fungus.
System
The genus Gibeauxiella was made because of the Flügeladerung and the genital armature of the males to the subfamily Antequerinae. The two species of the genus are, however, represented only by one copy, both of which were caught on the same day and the same place in France ( Forêt de Fontainebleau ). The origin of the genus is puzzling, as can hardly be assumed that the two eye-catching styles are so far gone unnoticed in a very well-studied area in Europe. Maybe they were accidentally introduced into the Fund field.
The two species of the genus have been found only in France.
