新熱帶地區燈蛾亞科燈蛾族Mallodeta及Erruca兩屬之回顧及有效性回復

Pinheiro LR & Duarte M. 2010. Revision of Neotropical moth genera Mallodeta Butler and Erruca Walker, revalidate (Noctuidae, Arctiidae, Arctiini, Euchromiina). Zootaxa 2573: 1-34

簡介:

Euchromiina為燈蛾亞科燈蛾族(註1)中被認為與膜翅目擬態的一群，因擬蜂的外部型態，在科级的分類階層曾經被誤置於斑蛾科(Zygaenidae)中，也曾經被放在由擬蜂類群所組成的鹿蛾科(Syntomidae)(現在大多數被歸為為燈蛾亞科的一個鹿蛾族內)，其姊妹群為同為燈蛾族中的Ctenuchiina，但其單系性仍然有待檢視。Pinheiro及Duarte(2010)回顧、恢復並重新描述此亞族中的兩個屬，並建立六個同物異名，其中的Mallodeta Butler僅包含一個模式種M. clavata (Walker, 1854)，此屬後翅之形狀、具發達的聽器以及與膜翅目擬態的細腰是與其他擬蜂物種鑑別的特徵。Erruca Walker連同模式種共有七個種，不發達的聽器、腹背板有白色的斑點以及足部各節末端白色為此屬之共有演徵。作者除了重新描述兩個屬，更詳細描述屬內各個物種的生態習性、型態以及分布資訊，並建立了檢所表。

Abstract:

Mallodeta Butler and Erruca Walker, revalidated, are redescribed and revised. Mallodeta henceforth includes only its type-species, Glaucopis (Lycorea) clavata Walker, and Erruca is resurrected with seven species: E. deyrolii Walker (type-species), E. consors (Walker), new combination, E. erythrarchos (Walker), new combination, E. cardinalis (Hampson), new combination, E. hanga (Herrich-Schäffer), new combination, E. cruenta (Perty), new combination and E. sanguipuncta (Druce), new combination. Six new synonyms are established, four specific and two generic (junior synonyms in parentheses): Zygaena capistrata Fabricius (=Mallodeta cubana Gaede), Glaucopis (Lycorea) clavata Walker (=M. simplex Rothschild), Erruca deyrolii Walker (=Laemocharis aecyra Herrich-Schäffer and Glaucopis (Hyda) sortita Walker), and Erruca Walker (=Aristodaema Wallengren and Rezia Kirby). Lectotypes are designated to the following species: Erruca deyrolii Walker, Laemocharis deyrollei Herrich-Schäffer, Laemocharis hanga Herrich-Schäffer, Laemocharis aecyra Herrich-Schäffer, Laemocharis norma Herrich-Schäffer, Cosmosoma cardinalis Hampson and Mallodeta sanguipuncta Druce. Illustrations of adults and male and female genitalia of Mallodeta and Erruca are provided, as well as a key to the species of the latter.
