Plant and Fungal Species Descriptions

This is the seventh part in a series on the family Lecithoceridae (Lepidoptera, Gelechioidea) of New Guinea. The Crocanthes pancala species complex in New Guinea and Australia is discussed with descriptions of 4 new species: C. poliozona sp. nov., C. gatoralis sp. nov., C. warmarensis sp. nov., and C. cyclopsana sp. nov., from Papua of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. These 4 are sibling species to the previously known species, C. pancala Turner from Australia, and they are superficially very similar each other. Adults, labial palpi, spinous zones on the abdominal segments VI–VII, and the male genitalia are illustrated. A key to species is given.
