Abstract The fbllowin gfour new species and one new subspecies of Ourapter:p axre described:
OL cordijbra from Sulawes iand F]ores ,O, nonmarginata from Palawan, Philippines ,O. suiphun
ea from Negros, Philippines ,O. diluculu mfrom Sulawesi and O. picticaudota paldwanensis
from Palawan. Moth specimens and genitalia ofboth sexes are Mustrated.
Key words Ourcrptet: yfxu,rca, Sulawesi ,Flores, Philippines, Palawan, Negros.
Ouraptetl,x contij2rra sp. noy. (Fig 1s, 2)'
Wingspan: dZ 49-51mm, ? 57rnm. Very similar to apodoiZFiata Guenee (Holloway,
1994 :57, fig .79 (mal egenitalia p)l, ,3: 1) ,but hindwing with tai lbroader ,with spatulate or
a litt lexepanded apex, shoulder at the end of yein 6 weaker. Colour and maculation of
identical
wings almost with potlainTinta.
Male (Fig1.5). Gnathos Valva
genitali a with central scobinate area obleng. with costa
weakly curved, apex triangularl yproduced, valvula with fla tapex. Furca at right side
straight, scarcely reaching gnathos . Cornuti two masses of spines, the caudal spines much
longer and large rthan the basal ones. In podofikia ttahe characteristic stick-like process of
furca is replaced by a broad apical plate ,an exceptional structure fbr 0urapter:yx.
Female genitali (aFig 2,0). Ductus bursa estrongly sclerotized, les sslender than in poclaIZ}L
iata ,almost straight, a litt lleonger than double the width. Cerpus bursae spherical, densely
wrinkled, signum absent.

Although the male genital ioaf this new species are quite distin cftrom those ofpociatidata,
it sshape of wings, colour and maculation apd female genital iaare very similar to it .The
absence of signum and strongly wrinkled surface of corpus bursae shared between the two
species are unique in OurapteT:yx.

Ouraptnet:y sxuiphunea sp. noy. (Fig 7s, 8)
Wingspan: cfn 37-42 mm, \ 40-43 mm. Very similar to sulphur-yellow winged spocimens
of O, versuta Prout (192 82:08) (Fig 9s, 10) from Sulawesi ,but hindwing with tai1 more
sharply po{nted . Forewing with discocellul abrar more conspicuous. Hindwing with
costal area to dorsa lmargin of cell and vein 6 widely white, unmarked, while in versuta the
unmarked area is confined to a narrow dorsa lmarginal area. Postmedian lin estarting from
near dorsa langle of discecellula rresa,ching vein 2, then incurve dand graduall yvanishing to
near tornus, while in versuta postmedian line starting from vein 8, runnjng midway between
discocellul abrar and termen lik epodoliiri aatnda cordijrera, vanishing at vein 2 or running
into hindmargin near tornus. In both species there are two red spots surrounded by a dark
grey shade at the base of the, tail ,but the dorsa lone in this new species is smaller than in
versuta.
Male genital i(aFi g1,8) . Uncus much longer than in versuta. Furca at righ tside gently
incurved ,reaching near middle of gnathos like the preceding species, while in versuta furca
at lef tside is very slender, almost straight to the middle of uncus. Aedeagus broader and
shorter, spines of cornutus much thicker than in versuta.
Female genitali a(Fig 2.1) . Ductus bursae very broad, nearly as long as corpus bursae ,thinly
ribbed. In versuta ductus bursae is much shorter, continuing to ovate corpus bursae ,the
caudal part of which is sclerotized as a broad and irregul abrand, an unusual structure fbr
