ResearchGate has not been able to resolve any citations for this publication.
Background
The genus Nycteola Hübner has been mainly distributed in the Old World and usually feeds on Fagaceae and Salicaceae, but Myrtaceae and Juglandaceae have also been reported. In Korea, the number of this genus has been changed from four to three after 2007, but three or four species are listed confusingly up to now.
New information
The Japanese endemic species Nycteoladufayi Sugi, 1982 are firstly reported for the Continents with its brief biology. Additionally, Korean fauna of nycteolid species are reviewed.
The paper discusses the taxonomy of three East Asian Nola Leach, 1815 taxa, N. costimacula Staudinger, 1887, N. japonibia (Strand, 1920) and N. innocua Butler, 1880. We describe a new species N. galliphaga sp. nov. from Japan and South Korea and synonymize N. japonibia syn. nov. with N. costimacula. Type specimens, additional adults, and their genitalia are illustrated.
The genus Agrisius Walker, 1855 is transferred from the family Erebidae, subfamily Arctiinae to the family Nolidae, subfamily Eligminae. The Agrisius guttivitta Walker species group is reviewed and five new species are described: Agrisius soror sp. n. (North Vietnam), Agrisius witti sp. n. (China, Yunnan), Agrisius cernyi sp. n. (North and West Thailand), Agrisius kachina sp. n. (North Myanmar), and Agrisius frater sp. n. (China, Shaanxi). A new synonymy is introduced: Agrisius vernalis Dubatolov, Kishida & Wang, 2012 = Agrisius fangchenglaiae Orhant, 2015, syn. n. Adults and male and female genitalia are illustrated.
This paper provides a comprehensive check list of Nolinae species recorded in Hong Kong, China based on the collections of the second author, Dr. Roger Kendrick and the Natural History Museum, London. The checklist comprises 30 species. Two of them are new to science and described here as new species (Spininola kendricki sp. n., and Hampsonola ceciliae sp. n.). Misidentification of the female paratype of Spininola nepali László, Ronkay & Ronkay, 2014 is revealed and the true female of S. nepali is illustrated with its genitalia described here for the first time. The hitherto unknown female of S. armata László, Ronkay & Witt, 2010 is also illustrated here for the first time. All species recorded from Hong Kong are illustrated together with their genitalia on 54 colour and 46 black and white diagnostic figures.
Two nolid species; Meganola ohsunghwani László, Ronkay & Ronkay, 2014 and M. basisignata Inoue, 1991 are newly recorded from Korea. Illustrations of adult and genitalia are provided. Final instar of each species are given.
The genus Stictane Hampson (1900) is reported for the first time in Korea, for the species Stictane chinesica (Draudt, 1931). Genitalia of Korean Agrisius fuliginosus Moore, 1872 is reexamined and was identified to Agrisius japonicas Leech, 1889. Up to now, unknown female of S. chinesica is newly described herein. Diagnostic comparisons are made with Stictane rectilinea (Snellen, 1879) and Agrisius fuliginosus Moore, 1872. Illustrations of adult and genitalia are presented.
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.
In this article, we report six Crambidae moth species, Herpetogramma pseudomagnum Yamanaka, Tatobotys biannulalis Walker, Metoeca foedalis (Guenée, 1854), Elophila nigrolinealis Pryer, Crocidolomia pavonana Fabricius, and Evergestis pallidata Hufnagel, for the first time from Korea. The diagnosis, distribution, pictures of adults, and genitalia of both sexes for six crambid moth species are provided. © 2019 National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA)
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.
A nolid species, Roeselia triangulalis (Leech) is reported for the first time from Korea. Two males were collected from Jeju Island, South Korea. Roeselia triangulalis can be distinguished by the bipectinate male antennae, broad frons, long labial palpi, costally dark brownish spot and the rounded dark brownish postmedial line of forewing. In the male genitalia, the long saccus, the slender valve with distally expanded and spine-like harpe and long spinular cornutus of vesica are distinguishing characters. In the female genitalia, the simple sterigma, the long ductus bursae and the large ovate corpus bursae with a lip-shaped signum are distinguishing characters. Diagnosis and description of the species are given with the figures of the male genitalia.
To elucidate the evolutionary relationships of the major lineages within the moth family Nolidae, we analysed a molecular dataset comprising eight independent gene regions (6.4 kbp), cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) from the mitochondrial genome, and elongation factor-1α (EF-1α), ribosomal protein S5 (RpS5), carbamoylphosphate synthase domain protein (CAD), cytosolic malate dehydrogenase (MDH), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) and wingless genes from the nuclear genome, using parsimony and model-based evolutionary methods (maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference). Our analyses revealed a well-resolved phylogenetic hypothesis, again recovering the six previously recognized families within Noctuoidea (i.e. Oenosandridae, Notodontidae, Euteliidae, Erebidae, Nolidae and Noctuidae), and monophyly of the quadrifid Noctuoidea (i.e. Euteliidae, Erebidae, Nolidae and Noctuidae). The family Nolidae is diagnosed and characterized by two synapomorphies from morphology: construction of a ridged boat-shaped cocoon that bears a vertical exit slit at one end; and two other morphological character states: elongation of the forewing retinaculum into a bar-like or digitate condition and possession of a postpiracular counter-tympanal hood. We present a new phylogenetic hypothesis for Nolidae consisting of eight strongly supported subfamilies, two of which are erected here: Diphtherinae, Risobinae, Collomeninae subfam. nov., Beaninae subfam. nov., Eligminae, Westermanniinae, Nolinae and Chloephorinae. Where we are able, each monophyletic lineage is diagnosed by morphological autapomorphies and within each subfamily, monophyletic tribes and subtribes are circumscribed, most of which are also diagnosable by morphological apomorphies. We also describe two new taxa: Gelastocerini trib. nov. and Etannina subtrib. nov. The Neotropical subfamily Diphtherinae, here newly circumscribed, is considered to be the plesiomorphic sister lineage to the rest of Nolidae. Diphtherinae are characterized by loss of the proximal pair of metatibial spurs in males and by the presence of a frontal tubercle, which is presumably associated with a derived strategy of emergence from the cocoon.
The moth Risoba yanagitai Nakao, Fukuda et Hayashi, 2016 (Nolidae: Risobinae) is reported for the first time Russia and Korea. The possible ways of migration of this subtropical species are briefly discussed.
ABSTRACT Six noctuid species: Ericeia pertendens(Walker), Nycteola costalis Sugi, Neustrotia albicincta (Hampson), Araeopteron flaccida Inoue, Feliniopisis indistans (Guenée), and Hadula stigmosa (Christoph), are newly recorded in the Korean fauna. The photographs of the adults and their genitalia are given for each species, together with notes on their bionomy and distribution.
