World Catalogue of the Family Ratardidae (Lepidoptera, Cossoidea) with Description of a New Species from Thailand and Establishment of New Synonymy and a New Status for Ratarda javanica Roepke, 1937
Abstract
An illustrated catalogue is given of the family Ratardidae in the world fauna which includes 10 species from 3 genera. A new species, Callosiope elenae Yakovlev sp. n., is described from Lampang Province, Thailand. Externally, the new species differs well from the type species of the genus, C. banghaasi. The fore wing of C. elenae sp. n. has a pattern of alternating wide black bands against pure white background (in C. banghaasi, the fore wing is strongly darkened, without bands). The hind wing of C. elenae sp. n. shows a pattern of large dropshaped black smears at the wing edge and a more or less expressed spotted pattern in the discal and postdiscal areas (in C. banghaasi, the hind wing is completely black, with no pattern). A new synonymy: Ratarda marmorata Moore, 1879 = Ratarda guttifera Hering, 1925 syn. n. and a new status: Ratarda mora javanica Roepke, 1937 stat. n., are established. Ratarda excellens (Strand, 1917) is recorded in the fauna of Thailand for the first time.

We catalogue 165 species in 81 genera representing six families of Cossoidea present in India. Sesiidae is the most dominant family in India, consisting 89 species in 38 genera, followed by Cossidae with 47 species in 28 genera, Brachodidae with 13 species in six genera, Metarbelidae with 12 species in seven genera, Ratardidae with three species in single genus and the Dudgeoneidae is known by single species. A comprehensive data on the species diversity of all the families of Indian Cossoidea, with information on type species, type locality, synonyms, clarifications, and distribution in different parts of India and Globe, are provided.
... All the three species of the genus Rugigegat are endemics for the Western Ghats−Sri Lanka and Eastern Himalaya, united into "biodiversity hotspots" (Myers 1988;Myers et al. 2000) (Fig. 8) (Yakovlev 2015(Yakovlev , 2018Yakovlev & Zolotuhin 2020). ...
The article describes Rugigegat lucyvoronovae Yakovlev & Kozlov sp. nov. (Lepidoptera, Cossidae, Zeuzerinae) distributed in the Northern India (Sikhim). The article has nine illustrations. The new species is most close to R. radzha Yakovlev, 2022, from which is differs in a series of characters. In contrast to the new species, the mottled portion on the anal margin of the fore wing in R. radzha does not reach the anal angle of the wing, the gnathos arms are significantly shorter, the valve is noticeably narrowing basally. The world catalog of the genus Rugigegat Schoorl, 1990 is presented. For the first time, we give the description and images of the male and female genitalia of R. nigra. We provide the data on the endemics of the superfamily Cossoidea in the Western Ghats − Sri Lanka and Eastern Himalaya biodiversity hotspots.
... The family is divided into 10 subfamilies, viz. Catoptinae, Chilecomadiinae, Cossinae, Cossulinae, Hypoptinae, Mehariinae, Politzariellinae, Pseudocossinae, Stygiinae, and Zeuzerinae (Yakovlev 2014a(Yakovlev , 2018. More than 265 species of this family have hitherto been known from the Palaearctic Region (Yakovlev 2011a), occurring mostly in arid areas (Yakovlev & Dubatolov 2013). ...
A taxonomic revision of the Iranian species of the family Cossidae is conducted. Sixthy-nine species and 16 subspecies in 26 genera and five subfamilies, namely Catoptinae, Mehariinae, Stygiinae, Cossinae and Zeuzerinae, are identified. Meharia baluchestana Alipanah & Yakovlev, sp. n. and Cossulus kopetdaghensis Yakovlev & Alipanah, sp. n. are described. Dyspessa elbursensis derbenti Daniel, 1964 is raised to the species level, Dyspessa derbenti Daniel, 1964, stat. n.; Dieida ledereri (Staudinger, 1817) is considered as the senior synonym of D. persa Strand in Stichel, 1911, syn. n.; Cossus coccus araraticus Teich, 1896 is considered as a senior synonym of C. c. armeniaca Rothschild, 1912, syn. n.; C c. kossai Wiltshire, 1957 as a senior synonym of C. c. omrana Wiltshire, 1957, syn. n.; and Deserticossus arenicola iranica (Austaut, 1897), syn. n. and D. arenicola transcaucasicus (Zukowsky, 1936), syn. n. are newly synonymized with D. arenicola arenicola (Staudinger, 1879). Additionally, the genus Mormogystia Schoorl, 1990, and 15 species, namely Dyspessa alpherakyi (Christoph in Romanoff, 1885), D. artemis Yakovlev, 2008, D. blonda Yakovlev, 2008, D. stroehlei Yakovlev, 2008, D. tsvetaevi Yakovlev, 2008, Barchaniella inspersa (Christoph, 1887), B. sacara (Grum-Grshimailo, 1902), Cossulus intractatus (Staudinger, 1887), C. mollis (Christoph, 1887), C. stertzi (Püngeler, 1899), Deserticossus campicola (Eversmann, 1854), Kotchevnik durelli Yakovlev, 2004, Mormogystia reibellii (Oberthür, 1876), Eremocossus erebuni Yakovlev, 2008 and Phragmataecia turkmenbashi Yakovlev, 2008 are newly reported for the fauna of Iran. Moreover, the hitherto unknown female of Kotchevnik durelli is described. Additional data of the species previously reported from Iran is provided and the collecting data maps of the entire studied species are presented.
... However, in our opinion, the most significant distinctive characteristic between Ratardidae and Metarbelidae is expressed sex dimorphism and complete reduction of a gnathos in Ratardidae. Unfortunately, it is impossible to conduct a more detailed analysis because males are known only for two Ratardidae species so far (from ten known in three genera) (Yakovlev 2018). ...
In the first part of the revision of the family Metarbelidae (Lepidoptera) of the south-eastern Asia, a complete literature review of the previously described taxa and biology of the Asian group members is given. The images of the adults and male genitaias of all known Metarbelidae genera of the Oriental region are illustrated. Two genera are described as new for the science: Orgyarbela Yakovlev & Zolotuhin, gen. nov. (type species Arbela millemaculata Hampson, 1897, by original designation here) and Hollowarbela Yakovlev & Zolotuhin, gen. nov. (type species Indarbela kinabalua Holloway, 1976, by original designation). The genus Encaumaptera Hampson, 1893 is revised. The following new species are described here: Encaumaptera aurora Yakovlev & Zolotuhin, sp. nov. (type locality: Thailand, Changwat Nan, 5 km N of Bo Luang), E. devyatkini Yakovlev & Zolotuhin, sp. nov. (type locality: C. Vietnam, Kon Tum Prov., Sa Thay Distr., Bargok, Chu Mot Ray NP), Orgyarbela kerri Yakovlev & Zolotuhin, sp. nov. (type locality: Laos, Nam Guak [Yuak river Valley, Wiengchau]), and O. mackwoodi Yakovlev & Zolotuhin, sp. nov. (type locality: Burma, Kawkerait [Kawkarike, Karen Prov., Myanmar]). The new combinations are established: Orgyarbela millemaculata (Hampson, 1897), comb.nov. and Hollowarbela kinabalua (Holloway, 1976), comb. nov.
Praesaturnia roepkei Yakovlev, de Vos et Hulsbosch, gen. et sp. n. is described from Papua Province of Indonesia. The new genus clearly differs from the known genera of Ratardidae in the very primitive wing pattern (wide dark portions on the light background and large round discal spots on all wings); the very deep cup-like ostium and the special sclerite of the lamina postvaginalis shaped as an elongated frustum, basally wide and apically forked into two small distinct lobes. The general distribution of representatives of the family Ratardidae is also discussed.
Classification of Order Lepidoptera Linnaeus, 1758 (4 suborders) (15,578 genera, 157,424 species, 50/86)
A revised classification of the Cossidae is provided. Five cossid subfamilies, of which Chilecomadiinae is new, are recognized. The external adult morphology of many genera and species is described with special attention paid to the thoracic sclerites, including wing bases. Cladograms of the genera are proposed. In total 95 genera are recognized, of which the following 27 are new: Mirocossus, Hirtocossus, Alcterogystia, Planctogystia, Paracossulus, Brachygystia, Eogystia, Mormogystia, Semagystia, Eburgemellus, Relluna, Aramos, Voousia, Alophonotus, Bergaris, Rapdalus, Rugigegat, Pseudozeuzera, Paralophonotus, Hermophyllon, Cecryphalus, Tarsozeuzera, Brypoctia, Panau, Skeletophyllon, Trismelasmos and Aethalopteryx. Thirteen new generic synonymies and six new specific ones are established. Planctogystia gaedei is proposed as the objective replacement name for Cossus fuscibasis Gaede. Six new synonymies are proposed for species. Keys to the genera of the larger subfamilies and a check-list of all the genera included are given. Many genera previously placed in the family are excluded. The possible relationships of the Cossidae with other taxa are discussed. The author postulates that the subfamily Zeuzerinae was distributed over Gondwanaland in the Early Cretaceous. Migrations across Beringia and from South to North America or vice versa at various times, including the Early Tertiary, are discussed. Some zeuzerine distribution patterns as well as other data suggest a former forest connection across Peninsular Arabia. Turkestan is regarded to have been a main refugium during the Glacial Periods for the species of several cossine genera. Distribution patterns probably related to one or both Melanesian arcs are pointed out. The ranges of several species suggest a close relation between the (northern) Vogelkop and midnorth New Guinea.
