東亞地區苔蘚夜蛾亞科兩新種描述

文獻出處：Sohn, J. C. & H. R. Tzuoo. 2012. Two new species of Stenoloba (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) from East Asia with the first description of S. nora female genitalia. Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology 15: 241–244.

簡介
本文由美國馬里蘭大學昆蟲系的Jae-Cheon Sohn描述兩種苔蘚夜蛾亞科Stenoloba屬新種S. ronkayi Sohn & Tzuoo (台灣)以及S. hystrix Sohn (越南北部)，前者與現任職於南投埔里國小的左漢榮老師共同發表，新種模式產地為南投紅香，種小名以匈牙利自然史博物館Dr. Laszlo Ronkay的姓氏命之。此外本文首次描述S. nora之雌蟲形態。

Abstract
Two new species of Stenoloba Staudinger, 1892 are described: S. ronkayi Sohn and Tzuoo sp. nov. from Taiwan and S. hystrix Sohn sp. nov. from northern Vietnam. The relationships of the new species with the actual species groups of Stenoloba are discussed. The formerly unknown female of S. nora Kononenko and Ronkay, 2001 and its genitalia are described here for the first time.

根據序列與形態分析顯示尖翅翠蛺蝶與E. jpona是同種, E. phemius降為尖翅翠蛺蝶的一個亞種

文獻來源: Yago M, Yokochi T, Kondon M, Braby MF, Yahya B, Peggie D, Wang M, William M, Morita S, Ueshima R. 2012. Revision of the Euthalia phemius complex (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) based on morphology and molecular analyses. Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 164(1): 304-327.

Abstract
Adults of the Euthalia phemius complex, which is composed of three South-East Asian nymphalid species, Euthalia phemius, Euthalia ipona, and Euthalia euphemia, were genetically analysed by examining mitochondrial and nuclear genes. The E. phemius complex was also examined morphologically, with particular emphasis on wing markings and male genitalia. No significant differences amongst the three species in the complex were detected with respect to either genetic distance or genital morphology. We therefore conclude that the three currently recognized Euthalia species belong to a single species. Accordingly, E. ipona is synonymized with E. phemius. Euthalia euphemia is treated as a subspecies of E. phemius. Type specimens of all taxa and a synonymic list for the E. phemius complex are also given. In addition, we briefly discuss the evolution and biogeography of the species complex.

回顧JC Fabricius發表之捲蛾

文獻來源：Baixera, J. & Karsholt, O. 2011. The Tortricidae described by J. C. Farbricius (Lepidoptera). Zootaxa 3127: 1-37

簡介：

Johan Christian Fabricius所發表的昆蟲多達9523種，其中捲蛾物種具有重大經濟影響，目前這些當初被用作物種發表的模式物種標本，經過幾翻波折目前多存放於哥本哈根大學動物博物館中(Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, ZMUC)，在Baixera及Karsholt2011年的文章中，回顧了存放於此博物館中由Fabricius所描述的88種捲蛾，而重新檢視的主要結果以及貢獻如下：

1. 重新描述存放於上述博物館由Fabricius發表的所有捲蛾模式標本。
2. 建立三個物種的選模(Lectotype)，分別為Tinea compostiella (Fabricius, 1775)、Pyralis rivellana (Fabricius, 1775)以及P. strigana (Fabricius, 1775)。
3. 兩個物種被併入同物異名(Synonymy)：Pyralis marmorana (Fabricius, 1798)被視為Ancylis achatana (Denis and Schiffermuller, 1775)的同物異名；P. rusticana (Fabricius, 1794)被視為Epinotia solandriana (Linnaeus, 1758)之同物異名
4. 大多數由Fabricius發表之捲蛾多置於Pyralis屬，其中由他發表於Pyralis屬之非捲蛾物種 (共49種)，亦被重新檢視。
5. 根據動物命名法規(ICZN)23.9條(線上版連結)，數個由他優先發表之物種命名優先權被抑制，包括了Eucisma aspidscana (Hübner, 1817)為有效名取代Pyralis obscurana Fabricius, 1798、Clepsis spectrana (Treitschke, 1830)為有效合名取代Pyralis posticana Fabricius, 1794以及Isotrias rectifasciana (Haworth, 1811)為有效名取代Pyralis trifasciana Fabricius, 1794。

雌尖灰尺蛾台灣亞種(Descoreba simplex inouei)應屬無效名, 及新種黃絹尖尺蛾(D. albolutea)與綠絹尖尺蛾(D. alboviridis)的描述

文獻來源: Sato, R, Stuning D, Fu CM (2011) The genus Descoreba Butler (Geometridae, Ennominae) from Taiwan, with description of two new species. Tinea 21(5): 280-287.

Abstract
Two new species of the genus Descoreba Butler, 1878 are described from Taiwan: D. albolutea sp. n. and D. alboviridis sp. n. They are compared to the single known species of Descoreba and to all three species of the closely related genus Doratoptera Hampson, 1895. Descoreba simplex inouei Okano, 1960, described from Taiwan, is synonymized with the nominotypical subspecies from Japan. Doratoptera nicevilei rufistriga Kiriakoff, 1964 is proposed as a new subspecies name. Male and female adults of the new species and of D. simplex Butler, 1878 and their genitalia are figured, as well as female genitalia of D. nicevillei for the first time.

過去在台灣被視為銀線尺蛾Scardamia metallaria的物種是一個新種: 柞木銀線尺蛾S. xylosmaria

文獻來源: Sato R, Fu CM, Kawakami Y. (2011) Description of a new species of the genus Scardamia Guenee (Geometridae, Ennominae) from Japan and Taiwan, with taxonomic notes on the related species. Tinea 21(5): 259-267.

Abstract
A new species, Scardamia xylomaria Sato, Fu & Kawakami, is described from Japan and Taiwan, being separated from S. aurantiacaria Bremer, 1864. The host plant is Xylosma congesta (Salicaceae). It is similar to S. metallaria Guenee, 1858, in the hindwing antemedial line. Moths and genitalia of both sexes of S. xylosmaria, S. aurantiacaria and S. metallaria are illusatrated.
