Revision of the family Metarbelidae (Lepidoptera) of the Oriental Region. VII. Genus Aukorbela Yakovlev & Zolotuhin, gen. nov. from Central Vietnam

In the fourth part of the revision on the Asian Metarbelidae we describe the new genus Aukorbela Yakovlev & Zolotuhin gen. nov. (type species, by original designation: Aukorbela golovizini Yakovlev & Zolotuhin spec. nov.). The new genus has several important diagnostic morphological characters: the uncus is short, blunt and wide, slightly extended apically, with a caudal triangular process; the gnathos arms are very thick, short, sclerotized, in the proximal third of the gnathos arms there are robust wide plates with ribbed surfaces.
