Parapellucens tegulatorii Holloway sp. n.

Pelluscens [sic] aphrasta Collenette sensu Schintlmeister, 1994: 123.

♂♂ 12-13mm. The facies is very much as in aphrasta except the wings are a more opaque white, with more elongate grey patches on the forewing, including additional ones between the discal spot and the apex. The forewing is moretriangular. The eighth tergite is unmodified and the genitalia generally more elongate. The uncus is squarish, slightly tapering, the distal margin notched. The valves are larger, terminating in a single, acute, inturned, darkly sclerotised point. The saccus is long, tapering, the aedeagus also long, distally serrate and with a scobinate vesica.
