簡介
本文章描述兩種取食台灣山毛櫸的舟蛾科新種,分別為太平山胯舟蛾 Syntypistis taipingshanensis Wu & Hsu sp. n. 與沈氏夙舟蛾 Pheosiopsis seni Wu & Hsu sp. nov.。兩者之已知最近緣種皆分布於中國南部山區,前種已知僅分布於宜蘭太平山山毛櫸林,後種分布於太平山與新竹鳥嘴山山毛櫸林,而其種小名由作者獻名給林業試驗所六龜分所故 沈勇強主任,以紀念其對台灣舟蛾科幼生期研究的貢獻。

Abstract
Two new Fagus-feeding notodontids, i.e. Syntypistis taipingshanensis Wu & Hsu sp. n. and Pheosiopsis seni Wu & Hsu sp. n. are recently discovered from the relic Fagus forests in northeastern Taiwan. Based on the genitalia structures, the closely relatives of two new species are S. melana Wu & Fang, 2003 and P. albalienata Kishida & Kobayashi, 2005, respectively, both occurring in the Fagus forests of Southern China.
