簡介

Squamosa屬為Bethune-Baker發表於1908年Novitates Zoologicae第15卷之分類群(註)，過去已知僅三種，為分佈於新幾內亞區系的S. ferruginea Bethune-Baker, 1908, 泰緬地區的S. chalcites Orhant, 2000以及印度半島之S. ocellata (Moore, 1879)，而後者在過去亦被記載於中國大陸。 本文描述分佈於廣西與海南島之新種S. brevisunca (種小名字源為拉丁文短的生殖器勾狀突之意)、分佈於雲南之新種新亞種S. brevisunca yunnanensis以及中國新紀錄種S. chalcites，並首度確認S. ocellata並未分佈於中國。

註: 本文誤將Squamosa屬原始文獻發表之年代1908年寫為1904年，可參考Biodiversity Heritage Library之該卷數位化檔案，Squamosa屬描述於第183頁。

本文描述台灣產刺蛾之一新種, Pseudidonauton chihpyh Solovyev, 2009 (知本細刺蛾), 正模式標本採自南投惠蓀林場(存放於幕尼黑的Thomas Witt Colletion), 而副模標本則採自台東知本溫泉(存放地點同正模) (註: 個人很不喜歡外國人描述台灣物種的時候亂拼音, 他明明知道知本的拼音是Chihpen, 但又在發表時拼成chihpyh (知屁?), 這是怎樣呢?)

又發現不明生物非常噁心?- 刺蛾幼蟲啦

這是最近在網路上流傳的一段影片 (網路上反正什麼都會流傳), 其實是新熱帶區產的刺蛾科Phobetron屬的幼蟲. 那些怪怪的結構則是幼蟲的SD與L瘤突.
