New taxa of the Meganola argentescens (Hampson, 1895) species group from China (Lepidoptera, Nolidae, Nolinae)
Abstract
Meganola argentescens (Hampson, 1895) species group is consisted of four species, Meganola argentescens (Hampson, 1895), Meganola jinghongensis (Shao, Li & Han, 2009), two of which are described below (Meganola weixiensis sp. nov. and Meganola xui sp. nov.). The diagnostic external features of the species group are the silvery forewing ground color, the black or dark brown marking at medial line area before cell, the black or dark brown and striped marking at wing base along with costal margin, the shrinked valva medially, the long and cylindrical aedeagus with many spinulae at apex and vesica without cornuti in male genitalia. It is worth nothing that the so-called group is supposed by the external appearance of adult and configuration of male genitalia.
... The family Nolidae (Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea) is one of the quadrifid noctuoid families, with approximately 1,750 described species, in 186 genera belonging to eight subfamilies worldwide: Beaninae, Chloephorinae, Collomeninae, Diphtherinae, Eligminae, Nolinae, Risobinae and Westermanniinae (Nieukerken et al. 2011;Zahiri et al. 2012). Among countries adjacent to Korea, 13 species of Nolinae have been reported from the Russian Far East (Tshistjakov 2008), and 38 species from China (Hua 2005;László et al. 2005László et al. , 2010Shao et al. 2008;Hu et al. 2013;Hu et al. 2014;Han and Hu 2016;Hu et al. 2017). Japan has 53 species (Sasaki 2011). ...
The genus Meganola Dyar, 1898 is reviewed for Korea, with 12 species, including the new species, Meganola parki Oh & Cha, sp. n. Illustrations of adults and genitalia of all the Korean species are provided, with a key to species of Meganola based on the external morphology and male genitalia. All known host plants are provided, some of them newly recorded.
Present paper contains the descriptions of four new genera distinguished from the collecting genus Meganola s.l. (Hamp-sonola, Wittonola, Fragilonola and Maculonola gen. n.) and 11 new species (Meganola pseudobasalactifera, Hampsono-la diehli, H. subbasirufa, H. angustifasciata, H. stueningi, H. micra, Wittonola latifasciata, Nanola rothschildi, Fragilonola fragilis, F. parentela and Maculonola dolokmerangirensis spp. n.) from South East Asia. Based on genital morphology the concept of the genus Nanola is extended, involving several species treated earlier as Meganola. Meganola yakovlevi László, Ronkay & Ronkay, 2010 is synonymised with M. tetrodon (de Joannis, 1928), and M. pekarskyi László, Ronkay & Ronkay, 2014 is synonymised with Nanola liaoningensis (Han & Li, 2008), syn. n. 45 new combinations and 2 new stati are established. With 48 colour photos and 42 genitalia figures.
Present paper is the first comprehensive summary of the Nolinae (sensu stricto) fauna of Northern Thailand. It contains the records of 127 species occurring in this area, with the descriptions of 16 new genera and 46 new species, numerous new combinations, stati and synonyms. With 11 colour plates and 58 genitalia figures.
The new species, Casminola subseminigra sp. nov. (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Nolinae), is described from China. It is similar to C. seminigra (Hampson, 1896), but can easily be distinguished from it by the forewing lacking an antemedial line; the male genitalia with an uncus broad medially with a curved and pointed apex; and the signa being absent in the female genitalia. Illustrations of adults and genitalia are provided.Se describe una nueva especie, Casminola subseminigra sp. nov. (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Nolinae), de China. Esta especie est cercana a C. seminigra (Hampson, 1896), pero se pueden distinguir fácilmente por el ala que no tiene una línea antemedial; el ápice del uncus que es ancho; y por el corpus bolsae sin signa. Se proveen ilustraciones de los adultos y de los genitales.
