Description of Enicotaenia, a new genus of Archipini from Bolivia, with comments of male-female coupling adaptation (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

Abstract

Enicotaenia interandina, a new genus and species of the tribe Archipini (Tortricidae), is described from the Neotropics (Bolivia). The wing patterns and genitalia of both sexes are illustrated. This species is characterized by two unusually strong serrated lateral processes in the transtilla of the male genitalia and two subconical lateral pockets in the antrum of the female genitalia. These structures are presumably involved in the male-female coupling mechanism. The new combination Enicotaenia marabana (Razowski & Becker, 2000) is proposed.
