東亞與東南亞浮尾夜蛾屬的分類檢討

文獻來源:Watabiki D, Yoshimatsu S (2014) Taxonomic study of Targalla delatrix (Guenee) and its close relatives from East and Southeast Asia with description of a new species (Lepidoptera: Euteliidae). Lepidoptera Science 65(4): 158-178.

浮尾夜蛾這個屬大約有20個種。部份種類被認為是桃金孃科與楝科果樹的害蟲。東京農業大學的綿引大祐與國立農業環境科學研究所的吉村慎一檢討了這個屬的分類。他們發現了一個從日本、台灣與中國分布到中南半島的新種Targalla silvicola (森林浮尾夜蛾),並恢復了T. infida與T. pantarcha的種級地位。

Abstract
Targalla delatrix (Guenee) and its close relatives from East and Southeast Asia are revised. A new species, T. silvicola sp. nov. is described from China, Vietnam, Laos, Taiwan and Japan. T. subocellata pantarcha Turner is recognized here as a good species distinct from T. subocellata (Walker) and is treated as T. pantarcha (Turner) stat. rev. Additionally, T. infida Walker sp. rev. is treated here as a distinct species from T. palliatrix (Guenee). In addition, using the DNA barcoding data of mitochondrial DNA (COI) genes, together with the Targalla data already registered in GenBank, we can distinguish seven Targalla species successfully and an NJ-tree is give.

台灣與鄰近地區產舟蛾科迴舟蛾屬(Disparia)分類檢討

文獻來源:Wu, S. 2015. Elucidating taxonomic problems of the genus Disparia Nagano, 1916 of Taiwan and its neighboring areas, with description of one new species (Lepidoptera, Notodontidae). Zootaxa 3918(2): 209-223.

簡介
台灣產舟蛾科迴舟蛾屬過去已知4種,經此研究重新檢視該些物種之相關模式標本而做下述分類處理:
  • 確認過去被視為獨立種之 nigrofasciata Wileman, 1910與 medioalbida Nakamura, 1973其模式標本為同種,因此將後者處理為前者之次同物異名 (syn. nov.);
  • 長久被誤鑑定為 nigrofasciata Wileman, 1910的物種,應為恢復種級地位之 wilemani Matsumura, 1925 (stat. rev.);
  • 維持廣佈種 diluta於台灣分布族群之亞種判定,即 D. diluta variegata (Wileman, 1910);
  • 描述一新種 D. kobayashii sp nov.
台灣產物種名錄如下,考量過去此屬物種圖版誤鑑定與中文名對應圖版錯誤散見於多數出版品與期刊,此處提出暫用中文名作參考,過去主要使用中文名置於括號內:
Disparia diluta variegata (Wileman, 1910)  霧迴舟蛾(迴舟蛾)
Disparia wilemani Matsumura, 1925 韋氏迴舟蛾(尖迴舟蛾)
Disparia nigrofasciata (Wileman, 1910) 高山迴舟蛾(平迴舟蛾、明迴舟蛾)
Disparia maculata (Moore, 1879) 波斑迴舟蛾
Disparia kobayashii Wu, 2015 小林氏迴舟蛾

Abstract
The taxonomic problems of the genus Disparia Nagano, 1916 in Taiwan and its neighboring areas are elucidated in the present study. The hitherto well-known separated taxonomic units, Fentonia nigrofasciata Wileman, 1910 and Pseudofentonia medioalbida Nakamura, 1973, are confirmed as the conspecific species based on the type material examination. The latter is here treated as a junior synonym (syn. nov.). The taxon previously identified as “D. nigrofasciata” in most of studies is actually D. wilemani Matsumura, 1925 stat. rev. Fentonia variegata Wileman, 1910 is retained for the eastern Asian population as a subspecies of widespread D. diluta (Hampson, 1910) through comparison with other populations. In addition, one new species, D. kobayashii sp. nov., endemic to Taiwan is described. Including D. maculata (Moore, 1879), totally five Disparia species are distributed in Taiwan.
