Review of the genera of Afrotropical Tortricidae (Lepidoptera)
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. 143 genera of Afrotropical Tortricidae are listed along with their included species and comments. Only species confidently assigned to the particular genera are cited, and the distributions of the genera are based on these species. One genus, Cirriphora OBRAZTSOV, 1951 is synonymized with Coccothera MEYRICK, 1914. Several new combinations are introduced. Clepsodes DIAKONOFF, 1957 is restituted.

—Netechma similis, new species, from Costa Rica, is described and illustrated, and Netechma caesiata (Clarke), new combination, from Venezuela, is redescribed and illustrated. Netechma Razowski belongs to a group of genera in Euliini characterized by one or more sparganothine-like features of the male genitalia, including a spiny transtilla; a long, slender, hooklike uncus; and densely scaled s...
متن کاملObservations on the Biology of Afrotropical Hesperiidae (Lepidoptera). Part 8. Hesperiinae incertae sedis: Dracaena Feeders.
The Afrotropical genera Gamia and Artitropa are only known to feed on species of Dracaena (Asparagaceae), and together with Leona lissa Evans, which may require a new genus, they are the only Afrotropical Hesperiidae that feed on this unusual host genus. We present partial life histories of two species of Gamia, 22 taxa of Artitropa (of at least 12 species, and including several undescribed tax...
متن کاملThe type species of Eucosma Hübner (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Eucosmini).
Eucosma Hübner is the largest genus in the Tortricidae with more than 290 named species. Historically, there has been confusion about the assignment of species to Eucosma and related genera, a problem which is perpetuated by the lack of a type specimen for the type species, E. circulana Hübner. Here we designate a neotype for E. circulana following analysis of eight North American species havin...
متن کاملA multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction assay to diagnose Epiphyas postvittana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae).
A molecular assay for diagnosis of light brown apple moth, Epiphyas postvittana (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), in North America is reported. The assay multiplexes two TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) probe systems that are designed to target DNA segments of the internal transcribed spacer region 2 (ITS2) and 18S rRNA gene. The RT-PCR probe designed for the 18S target re...
