Re-evaluation of the identities of Eucereon punctatum (Guérin-Méneville, [1844]) and E. archias (Stoll, 1790), with a discussion on E. mitigatum Walker, 1857, rev. stat. (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae, Arctiini, Ctenuchina)
Abstract
A preliminary investigation of the genus Eucereon Hübner, [1819] has revealed that two of its species have been historically misidentified, one of them being its type species, E. archias (Stoll, 1790). The neotype designated by Travassos (1959) for this species is invalidated, and its original concept is reestablished based on the original description and illustrations. The original concept of Eucereon punctatum (Guérin- Méneville, [1844]) is also found to be different than that established in the literature. This discovery is based on a type specimen found at the Natural History Museum, London. Eucereon punctatum is the valid name of Theages quadricolor Walker, 1855, n. syn., E. quadricolor boreale Rothschild, 1912 n. syn and E. quadricolor meridionale Rothschild, 1912 n. syn. The authors' concept of E. punctatum is henceforth to be referred to by its oldest incorrect synonym, Eucereon mitigatum Walker rev. stat. Following the synonymic history for this species, this name here is considered to be the valid name for E. reticulatum Butler, 1877 n. syn., E. cribrum Möschler, 1877 n. syn., and E. ruficollis Lathy, 1899 n. syn. The true concepts of E. archias, E. punctatum, and E. mitigatum are redescribed, discussed and illustrated. © Publications scientifiques du Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris.
... To identify the species, we used literature ( , Seitz 1919-1925 and specimens deposited in the visited collections. The systematic organization to generic level follows Hampson (1898) and Weller et al. (2000), with updates of the generic names according Watson et al. (1995) and corrections of Pinheiro & Duarte (2013), Pinheiro & Gaal-Haszler (2015) and Pinheiro (2016). ...
The Euchromiina moths comprise 735 species in the neotropics. Here we provide a list of Euchromiina species from the Brazilian Amazon. The list was produced from specimens deposited in the most important Brazilian collections and from literature data. Nearly 30% (219) of the neotropics Euchromiina species were recorded, including 13 new occurrences for the Brazilian Amazon. Santarém and Belém were the municipalities with the highest number of species records, with 96 and 74, respectively. Although the number of Euchromiina records is high in the Amazon, this value is underestimated because the fauna was never sampled in the vast majority of the biome. This is a worrying scenario because the Amazon has the world highest absolute rate of forest reduction. In order to suggest efficient conservation policies for the Amazon Arctiinae fauna, it is urgent to intensify the sampling effort in this biome.

The Ctenuchina moths comprise 874 New World species. Here we provide a list of Ctenuchina species from the Brazilian Amazon. The list was produced from specimens deposited in the most important Brazilian collections and from literature data. Nearly 31% (273) of the New World Ctenuchina species were recorded, including 28 new occurrences for the Brazilian Amazon. Santarém and Belém were the municipalities with the highest number of species records, with 139 and 88, respectively. The high number of Ctenuchina records in the Amazon is underestimated because this subtribe has never been sampled in the vast majority of the biome. This is a worrying scenario because the Amazon has the world highest absolute rate of forest reduction. To suggest efficient conservation policies for the Arctiinae fauna of Amazon, it is urgent to intensify the sampling effort in this biome.
... Identified by comparison with the lectotype (OUMNH, ♂ Brazil). This species has been incorrectly treated as E. reticulatum Butler, but as suggested by Fleming (1959) and clarified by Pinheiro (2016) TESL 1908, 53-7) [OUNHM]. Note, Longstaff (1908) deals with butterflies only and does not mention this specimen, but it is listed in Longstaff (1912). ...

This catalogue comprises records of 355 species of moths (non-papilionoid Lepidoptera) from Tobago, of which 15 are partially identified. Of this total, all except 17 (5%) are known from Trinidad, although not all these records from Trinidad are published yet. Of these 17, eleven are expected to occur in Trinidad as they also occur on the mainland of South America and two are only known from Tobago but will probably also occur in Trinidad. This leaves just four species (1% of the total) that are known from the Lesser Antilles and are currently not known from further south than Tobago. The families represented by the most species are Erebidae, Crambidae, Geometridae, Noctuidae and Sphingidae, which between them account for 73% of records. Taxonomic changes are made as follows. Podalia farmbri (Kaye, 1925) sp. rev. (Megalopygidae) is removed from the synonymy of P. nigrescens Schaus, 1905. Podalia walkeri Hopp, 1935 and P. dimidiata (Walker, 1865) are syn. nov. of P. farmbri Kaye, 1925. Renia bipunctata (Kaye, 1901) (Erebidae) is a comb. nov. for Zanclognatha bipunctata. Aristaria trinitalis Schaus, 1906 (Erebidae) is a syn. nov. of Renia bipunctata Kaye, 1901. Aglaonice deldonalis Walker, 1859 sp. rev. (Erebidae) is removed from the synonymy of A. hirtipalpis Walker, [1859]. Plusiodonta cupristria Kaye, 1923 (Erebidae) is a syn. nov. of Oraesia excitans Walker [1858]. Oroscopa abluta (Schaus, 1912) (Erebidae) is a comb. nov. for Freilla abluta Schaus, 1912, which is a new combination in common use, but not previously published. Ptichodis dorsalis (Fabricius, 1797) (Erebidae) is a comb. nov. for Noctua auct. dorsalis Fabricius, a new combination already in use, but not formally published. I endorse the unpublished conclusion of I.W.B. Nye that Ptichodis basilans (Guenée, 1852) is a syn. nov. of Ptichodis dorsalis (Fabricius, 1797). Ptichodis agrapta Hampson, 1913 is also a syn. nov. of Ptichodis dorsalis (Fabricius, 1797). Este catálogo incluye registros de 355 especies de polillas de Tobago, de las cuales 15 han sido parcialmente identificadas. Del total de especies, sólo 17 (5%) no se han identificado en Trinidad, aunque no todos estos registros han sido publicados todavía. De estas 17 especies, once se espera que estén presentes en Trinidad ya que también ocurren en tierra firme en Sudamérica y tan sólo dos se ha identificado en Tobago pero es probable que también esté presente en Trinidad. De tal modo, tan sólo cuatro especies (1% del total) que ocurren en las Antillas Menores no se han identificado más al sur de Tobago. Las familias más representadas son Erebidae, Crambidae, Geometridae, Noctuidae and Sphingidae, correspondiendo al 73% de los registros. Se realizan los siguientes cambios taxonómicos. Podalia farmbri (Kaye, 1925) sp. rev. (Megalopygidae) se elimna como sinónimo de P. nigrescens Schaus, 1905. Podalia walkeri Hopp, 1935 y P. dimidiata (Walker, 1865) son syn. nov. de P. farmbri Kaye, 1925. Renia bipunctata (Kaye, 1901) (Erebidae) es una comb. nov. para Zanclognatha bipunctata. Aristaria trinitalis Schaus, 1906 (Erebidae) es un syn. nov. de Renia bipunctata Kaye, 1901. Aglaonice deldonalis Walker, 1859 sp. rev. (Erebidae) se elimina como sinónimo de A. hirtipalpis Walker, [1859]. Plusiodonta cupristria Kaye, 1923 (Erebidae) es un syn. nov. de Oraesia excitans Walker [1858]. Oroscopa abluta (Schaus, 1912) (Erebidae) es un comb. nov. para Freilla abluta Schaus, 1912, la cual es una combinación nueva de uso común, pero que no ha sido publicada anteriormente. Ptichodis dorsalis (Fabricius, 1797) (Erebidae) es una comb. nov. para Noctua auct. dorsalis Fabricius, una nueva combinación ya en uso pero que no se ha publicado formalmente. Apoyo la conclusion no publicada de I.W.B. Nye afirmando que Ptichodis basilans (Guenée, 1852) es un syn. nov. de Ptichodis dorsalis (Fabricius, 1797). Ptichodis agrapta Hampson, 1913 es también un syn. nov. de Ptichodis dorsalis (Fabricius, 1797).
Six species of Arctiidae are reported from the United States (Texas and Arizona) for the first time, one in the subfamily Lithosiinae, Rhabdatomis laudamia (Druce), and five in the subfamily Ctenuchinae: Apeplopoda mecrida (Druce), new combination; Eucereon myrina Druce; Eucereon erythrolepsis Dyar; Pseudosphex leo-vazquezae (Perez & Sanchez), new combination; and Poliopastea clavipes (Boisduval). Three of these species are also reported south of Mexico for the first time: Apeplopoda mecrida (Guatemala and Costa Rica); Eucereon erythrolepsis (Guatemala and Costa Rica); and Pseudosphex leovazquezae (Guatemala). Additional nomenclatural actions taken are: Saurita improvisa Schaus is transferred to Apeplopoda Watson, new combination; Amy-cles strigosa Druce is transferred from Pseudosphex Hiibner to Myrmecopsis Newman, new combination.
Lepidoptera literature of 58 authors, involving Western Hemisphere species which have had various dates applied to specific titles, are listed and correct dates noted. In some cases works are given dates by sections of pages and plates. This selection ofliterature references on Western Hemisphere Lep-idoptera, primarily original descriptions of taxa, does not include all works on LepIdoptera of this fauna. Included are only those works that have repeatedly been dated incorrectly by subsequent authors or had various kinds of confusion surrounding their correct dates. In many cases dates of specific pages or plates are noted. This list was originally prepared in conjunction with the work of the collaborators now engaged in cataloging and reviewing the Neo-tropical Lepidoptera for the series, Atlas ojNeotropical Lepidoptera. Inasmuch as various dates have often been applied to various works on N eotropical Lepidoptera, this list was prepared to determine the correct dates of certain works as best known at this time, thus ensuring consistency regarding dates used in the Atlas. It is hoped that this listing will also be of help to other authors when consulting these works. The literature is listed alphabetically and chronologically by author. For each of the 58 authors in the main listing, their full known name and dates of birth and death are provided when known. Likewise, the full titles to each work are given. A second section to this listing covers works on dates of the main citations and other works on Lep-idoptera. A number of persons helped to ensure the accuracy of dates in this listing, the following having been especially involved: D. S. Fletcher, and K. Sattler [British Museum (Natural History), London]; J. C.
A history is presented of specimens of Papilionidae and Pieridae in the Natural History Museum, London that are thought to include types of species described by Cramer and Stoll in ‘De Uitlandsche Kapellen’.
