One of the biggest taxonomic problems surrounds a collective group from Southeastern Asia, termed the "green limaco...
متن کاملThe first complete mitochondrial genome for the subfamily Limacodidae and implications for the higher phylogeny of Lepidoptera
The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) provides important information for understanding molecular evolution and phylogeny. To determine the systematic status of the family Limacodidae within Lepidoptera, we infer a phylogenetic hypothesis based on the complete mitogenome of Monema flavescens (Lepidoptera: Limacodidae). The mitogenome of M. flavescens is 15,396 base pairs (bp), and includes 13 pr...

متن کاملA new species of Caissa Hering, 1931 (Lepidoptera, Limacodidae) from China.

Members of this genus can be clearly determined by differences in wing pattern. Caissa have antemedial, postmedial and subterminal fasciae characteristic of an Apoda forewing pattern but there are significant deviations (Wu & Fang 2008; Solovyev & Witt 2009). Based...
