Name

Aethalopteryx diksami Yakovlev & Saldaitis, 2010 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

• Aethalopteryx diksami Yakovlev & Saldaitis, 2010, Esperiana Memoir 5: 334, Pl. 20: fig. 5.

Description

Male genitalia (Fig. 26). The authors examined several more male specimens and found some variation in the genital structures. Valvae of newly examined specimens were significantly wider; apex rounded; costal margin even; vertical juxta processes not tapering, with obtuse apices; vesica simple, long, tapering, almost the same length as aedeagus.

Distribution

A newly described species, highly local, known only from the central part of Socotra Island from two valleys: the Diksam canyon (Fig. 30) and the Difarroha valley (Fig. 31), which are characterized by the following relict woody vegetation: Dracaena cinnabari, Buxus hildebrandtii, Croton socotranus and numerous other endemic plants (Miller and Cope 1996).
