Abstract: Almost 90 years have passed after the last publication of a catalogue of the family Zygaenidae of the world (Bryk, 1936). At that time there was no correct understanding of the taxonomic, genetic and ecological framework of the subfamily Procridinae. Many species of this subfamily were included into the Chalcosiinae and Zygaeninae. A new contemporary annotated catalogue consisting of five tribes, 94 genera and 570 species of Procridinae is provided. This is the first ever published complete worldwide catalogue of the subfamily. All together, 1111 taxa (including synonyms) are discussed. Three new tribes (Thyrassiini, tribus nov., Pollanisini tribus nov. and Cleleini tribus nov.), two new genera ( Afromalamblia gen. nov. and Psudohedina gen. nov.) as well as four new subgenera ( Longiterna subgen. nov., Afroterna subgen. nov., Obscuriterna subgen. nov., and Eurasiterna subgen. nov.) are described. 36 comb. nov., 14 stat. nov. and 3 syn. nov. are established.

The family Zygaenidae is an important model group for ecological, environmental, zoogeographic, biochemical, karyological, genetic, morphological and taxonomic investigations in Lepidoptera (see e.g. Can et al. 2018, 2019; Can Cengiz et al. 2018; Drouet & Tarmann, 1989; Drouet et al. 2021; Gernaat et al. 2022; Huang & Efetov, 2021; Efetov, 1996e, 2012b, 2016, 2018, 2019; Efetov et al. 2004, 2010a, 2010b, 2010c, 2010d, 2011, 2012a, 2012b, 2013, 2014a, 2014b, 2014c, 2014d, 2015a, 2015b, 2016a, 2016b, 2016c, 2016d, 2017, 2018, 2019a, 2019b, 2019c, 2019d, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023a, 2023b; Efetov & Gorbunov, 2016; Efetov & Knyazev, 2014; Efetov & Kucherenko, 2020, 2021; Efetov & Savchuk, 2009, 2013; Efetov & Tarmann, 2012, 2014b, 2017a, 2020a, 2020b, 2022a, 2022b; Knyazev et al. 2015a, 2015b; Landoldt et al. 1991; Marianelli et al. 2020; Markl et al. 2022; Mutanen et al. 2016; Nahirnic-Beshkova et al. 2021; Nazari & Efetov, 2023; Nazari et al. 2019; Parshkova & Efetov, 2014; Razov et al. 2017; Subchev et al. 2016, 2012, 2013; Tarmann, 1975, 1979, 1984a, 1984b, 1992a, 1992b, 1995, 1998, 2004, 2016, 2019a, 2019b, 2019c; Tarmann & Efetov, 2021; Tarmann et al. 2019; Vrenozi et al. 2019; Zahiri et al. 2021). Its systematics is well established. According to the contemporary classification the family Zygaenidae consists of five subfamilies: Inouelinae Efetov & Tarmann, 2017; Zygaeninae Latreille, 1809; Callizygaeninae Alberti, 1954; Chalcosiinae Walker, 1865, and Procridinae Boisduval, 1828 ( Efetov, 1999c, 2001d, 2004d; Efetov & Tarmann, 2014a, 2017a; Tarmann, 1994; Miric et al. 2023).
The Procridinae is the only subfamily that has a worldwide distribution and which occurs also in America and Australia. Many species have been described during the last years (see e.g. Efetov, 1998a, 1998b, 2010, 2012a; Efetov & Tarmann, 2013a, 2013b, 2014a, 2014b, 2016a, 2016b, 2017a, 2017b; Keil, 1998, 1999, 2016b, 2020; Mollet, 2008, 2015, 2016a, 2016b, 2016c, 2016d, 2017, 2018, 2020a, 2020b; Mollet & Tarmann, 2007, 2010, 2023; Owada, 2021; Owada et al. 2021, 2022a, 2022b; Owada & Inada, 2005; Shih & Owada, 2022; Sondhi et al. 2023; Tarmann & Cock, 2019; Tarmann & Drouet, 2015). However, newer checklists of taxa exist only for the Palaearctic and Australian regions ( Tarmann, 2004; Efetov & Tarmann, 2012).
As the last catalogue of the Procridinae of the world was published 88 years ago ( Bryk, 1936) it is urgently time for an update. Although there are several papers in preparation where more species will be described, we think this catalogue should be published now. We have postponed this work already for many years, always in the hope of making it more complete by waiting for the next publication series about Procridinae. Further new species must be summarized as an addition at a later time.
Illustrations of Zygaenidae can be found on the paintings of the Dutch Masters of 17th century where they join Papilionoidea and other moths on and around flower bouquets ( Efetov & Tarmann, 2008a). The first Zygaenidae were described in the 10th edition of Carolus Linnaeus’ Systema Naturae in the year 1758, viz. Sphinx filipendulaeLinnaeus, 1758, and Sphinx statices Linnaeus, 1758. Soon there followed numerous descriptions by other authors such as Eugen Johann Christoph Esper, Michael Denis & Ignaz Schiffermüller, Jacob Hübner, Ferdinand Ochsenheimer and others. However, a first comprehensive summary of the so far known names was not available before the publication of Jean- Baptiste Alphonse DéChauffour de Boisduval’s work Monographie des Zygaenides (1828). A significant step forward in our knowledge about Zygaenidae followed slightly later in the 19th century with authors like Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer ( 1843-1855, 1843-1856, [1853]-[1858], [1856]-1861), Christian Friedrich Freyer ( 1833-1836), Francis Walker ( 1854, 1856), Otto Staudinger ( 1862, 1871, 1878-1879, 1887a, 1887b), George Francis Hampson (1893), Charles Oberthür ( 1880, 1893, 1894, 1916), John-Henry Leech ( 1889a, 1889b, 1898), Charles Swinhoe ( 1890, 1891, 1892, 1894, 1903), Edward Meyrick ( 1886-1888), Herbert Druce ( 1881-1900, 1889, 1896, 1899, 1806, 1910) and others. These authors did not only deal with the Palaearctic species but were working in a world- wide context. An impressive overview of all known species of Zygaenidae of the world with short descriptions of the species and, if known, also of their distribution and biology, with colour illustrations of all mentioned species can be found in Adalbert Seitz’s books Die Gross-Schmetterlinge der Erde. In these series of books the Zygaenidae were treated by Karl Jordan ( 1907a, 1907c- 1908, 1913) and Max Gaede ( 1926).
A list of all known taxa in the world with synonyms, citations of original descriptions and geographical notes on the distribution was published by Embrik Strand in Lepidopterorum Catalogus in volumes 33 (by Helmut Burgeff, 1926, all Zygaeninae) and 71 (by Felix Bryk, 1936, all other Zygaenidae groups). The fascination about the variability of Zygaenidae and their geographical differences especially of the Palaearctic species of Zygaena Fabricius, 1775, resulted in a huge number of descriptions of subspecies, forms and aberrations. Helmut Burgeff, Franz Daniel, Francis Dujardin, Otto Holik, Manfred Koch, Hans Rauch, Hugo and Günther Reiss, Ubaldo Rocci, Ruggero Verity, Karl-Heinz Wiegel, etc. described hundreds of taxa.
Only Burchard Alberti ( 1954, 1958-1959) saw the familiy Zygaenidae as a whole and in a global context. He summarised their characters, especially those of their genitalia and tried the first phylogenetic analysis. Interesting new ideas came from Ernst Rudolf Reichl (1964) who implemented for the first time biometry and biostatistics into the discussion about populations, subspecies and species. He also created the first electronic database for Zygaenidae. The phylogenetic approach of Alberti, based on the studies of more and new characters, was further developed by Clas Naumann (morphology, ultrastructures, biochemistry, and biogeography) and many of his students, e.g. Oliver Niehuis (molecular biology), Axel Hille (biology, biochemistry, biometry), Harald Fänger (morphology, ultrastructure), also by Konstantin Efetov & Gerhard Tarmann (morphology, biology, behaviour, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics) and recently by Mirela Miric and Jadranka Rota (genetics).
We also have to mention Walter Gerald Tremewan (genetics, bionomics, bibliography, systematics, taxonomy, and phylogeny), Axel Hofmann (biology, biogeography, systematics, taxonomy, and phylogeny), Hiroshi Inoue (morphology, systematics, and taxonomy), Bernard Mollet and Thomas Keil (morphology, biology, systematics) and Shen-Horn Yen (morphology, systematics, molecular biology, and phylogeny) as other important contributors to the knowledge of the family.
By all these works more lepidopterologists were stimulated to study Zygaenidae. Many of them compiled large collections. Here we have to mention the rich special collections of Zygaenidae of Eyjolf Aistleitner (Palaearcic region, especially Iberian Peninsula), Francis Dujardin (Palaearctic region), Ulf Eitschberger (Palaearcti region), Helmut und Ruth Holzinger (Palaearctic region), Predrag Jaksic (Balkans), Thomas Keil (especially Palaearctic region), Hans Rauch (Alps, Italy, Balkans), and especially the huge collection of Thomas Witt (mainly Palaearctic and Oriental region). In some countries collectors have formed very active working groups that contributed significantly especially to the knowledge of the Zygaenidae fauna of their country, e.g. in France the GIRAZ with members like Louis Faillie, Jean-Marie Desse, Eric Drouet, Marc Nicolle, Bruno Lambert and others.
A number of impressive monographies in the form of books have been published on Zygaenidae during the last years (e.g. Efetov, 2001f, 2004a, 2005a; Efetov & Tarmann, 1999a, 2008b, 2012; Guenin, 2023; Keil, 2014; Hofmann & Tremewan, 2017, 2020a, 2020b; Naumann, Tarmann & Tremewan, 1999; Tarmann, 2004) and more will follow.
Extended material was compiled during various collecting expeditions by persons who deposited their material in private collections and in museums. Here we have to mention especially the collectors of the British, Dutch, German, Austrian and Russian Empires that worked between the end of the 19th century up to the Second World War. Extraordinary persons like Lord Walter Rothschild and the Grand Duke Nikolay Mikhaylovich Romanov, and later Adalbert Seitz, invested lots of money in compiling material and in the publication of richly illustrated book series. For those private people but also for larger national museums a number of collectors travelled around the world and brought material of Zygaenidae from almost all countries where they are distributed. Moreover, members of the navy of the British Empire and employees of powerful commercial companies (e.g. the Dutch East Indian Company) were sent to foreign countries and many of them were collectors of insects. As examples for some of these almost “professional collectors” we mention Hugo Theodor Christoph (Central Asia), J. Z. Kannegieter (South-East Asia) and as an example of well-known people who were based far awayfrom their home countries Rudolph van Eecke (South-East Asia), Hermann Höne (China), Edi Diehl(Indonesia), Georg Brückner (Guatemala) and J. F. Zikân (Brazil).
In Europe Leo Sheljuzhko (Eastern Europe, Caucasus, Central Asia), Guy Barrague (North Africa), Josef J. de Freina (Western Palaearctic and Africa), Wolfgang Eckweiler (especially western Asia), Ernst Görgner (western Asia), and Jirˇi Klir (Asia) collected valuable material also of Zygaenidae that is now mainly deposited in other collections.
In Asia especially the Japanese scientists and collectors like Hiroshi Inoue, Mamoru Owada, Yasunori Kishida, Kiyoshi Horie and Toshitsugo Endo established large collections that contain important material of Zygaenidae. Others such as Masanao Nakamura, Kayoko Nishihara und Chiharu Koshio contributed significantly to our knowedge of morphology and biology.
In spite of all these efforts we still have large gaps in the knowledge of Zygaenidae for many parts of the world, where newer comprehensive summaries are missing and the identification of species is therefore difficult. Many undescribed species are already known and waiting to be described. A very substantial contribution to the knowledge of the Asian and Australian Zygaenidae fauna, mainly based on his own field observations and rearing experiments, has recently been carried out by Bernard Mollet (e.g. Mollet, 1995, 2003a, 2003b, 2003c, 2019a; Mollet & Tarmann, 2023).
Revisions on generic level are permanently published but the progress is slow. Revisions on Zygaenidae dealing with whole continents have only been published for parts of the Palaearctic ( Naumann et al. 1999; Efetov, 2001d, 2005a, 2005b; Efetov & Tarmann, 1995b, 1999a; Keil, 2014), America ( Tarmann, 1984b) and Australia ( Tarmann, 2004; Mollet & Tarmann, 2023) during the last 50 years.
The authors of this catalogue have already summarised their total knowledge on Zygaenidae and undertook an attempt to provide a hypothetical ground plan of the family in 2017 ( Efetov & Tarmann, 2017a).
Scientific work with Zygaenidae has been often controversial. While in one case a character can be extremely useful for classification, the same character can be completely irrelevant in another case. This problem is not new. Already scientists like Karl Jordan (e.g. Jordan, 1907a, 1907c) and Martin Hering (e.g. Hering 1922, 1926), who summarised parts of the World’s Zygaenidae in several books and papers, stepped into some of the tricky traps that have been laid by an unpredictable evolutionary history especially in the subfamily Procridinae ( Tarmann, 1984b, 2004).
Alberti (1954) published the first comprehensive revision of the Zygaenidae of the world. It was based on extended studies, especially on the genitalia morphology of males and females. He recognised seven subfamilies for Zygaenidae: Zygaeninae, Phaudinae (now family Phaudidae within Zygaenoidea), Chalcosiinae, Anomoeotinae (now family Anomoeotidae within Zygaenoidea), Himantopterinae (now family Himantopteridae within Zygaenoidea), Charideinae (moved to Thyrididae by Minet, 1991) and Procridinae.
Especially for his treatment of the Procridinae Alberti (1954) used genera and also subgenera and within these subgenera species groups. In the same way, he also treated the subfamily Zygaeninae.
This concept has been widely accepted, especially in Procridinae. However, the discovery of new characters and more knowledge on their variability has made it necessary to describe a new subfamily, viz. Inouelinae ( Efetov & Tarmann, 2017a), new genera and to divide some genera into more subgenera.
There is a common consensus that species can be grouped together with closely related species to form so-called species groups. However, there is no consensus if it makes sense to give a group of species or a group of species groups a taxonomic status in the form of the description of a subgenus. The fact that many of these described subgenera have suddenly appeared as genera in various publications and have confused users of scientific names like taxonomists, applied entomologists, bio- geographers etc. led to a widely distributed rejection of subgeneric names. Opinions about the pros and cons of subgeneric names have been strongly held between entomologists and it is mainly dependent on the education and the tradition of an entomological society in which direction these feelings go (see e.g. Hofmann & Tremewan, 2009).
The authors of this catalogue have studied the family Zygaenidae for almost half a century. Nevertheless, they could not avoid following Alberti’s concept throughout all their works as it was in most cases clearly the best solution for taxonomic and systematic work in Zygaenidae and especially in the Procridinae, which are treated in this catalogue. This concept enables good grouping of monophyletic units, the subgeneric names are based on types with a designated type species and there is a responsible authorship for each of them. Moreover, in many cases clear monophyletic species groups are found within the subgenera which enables further good subgrouping. Examples are genera like Artona Walker, 1854, IlliberisWalker, 1854, ZygaenoprocrisHampson, 1900, AdscitaRetzius, 1783, or JordanitaAgenjo, 1940, each with a number of well differentiated subgenera ( Figures 1-2).

Since 1994 the subfamily Procridinae has been divided into two tribes: Artonini Tarmann, 1994 and Procridini Boisduval, 1828 ( Tarmann, 1994; Efetov & Tarmann, 2012, 2017a). This concept was based on a large number of significant morphological, biological and other characters. All these relevant characters were listed, compared and discussed in detail in Efetov & Tarmann (2017a). However, some characters that have earlier been thought to belong to Artonini only have later also been found in Procridini. The concept that Artonini are monophyletic and Procridini paraphyletic has not been confirmed as valid in recent years. The final confirmation that the concept used so far was wrong is based on the newest DNA results using 32 nuclear and mitochondrial genes (Miric et al. 2023). Taking into account these new results and combining them with the so-far known earlier results on morphology and biology we see that the subfamily Procridinae consists of five monophyletic traits.
Consequently, we divide here the Procridinae into Thyrassiini tribus nov., Pollanisini tribus nov., Artonini Tarmann, 1994, Cleleini tribus nov., and Procridini Boisduval, 1828.
Since the times of Linnaeus it has been an unsolvable problem to find a common agreement between authors of what is a species and, of course, also what is a subspecies. Populations with common characters have been grouped together and named but the moment when species level is reached has never been completely clear. There are many zoological species concepts. Wilkins (2006) mentions in a short summary at least 26 existing species concepts. It is not the aim of this catalogue to contribute to this discussion but we have to agree to a pragmatic solution for the list of taxa given below. The subfamily Procridinae of Zygaenidae that is treated in this catalogue shows especially rich character variability and character combinations. We are confronted with the situation that sometimes characters are very constant in one group but are completely variable in another. Moreover, many species interbreed without problems and produce hybrid populations that are also fertile in further generations. Therefore, it has often been difficult to decide whether a taxon has to be treated as a species or included in a known taxon as a subspecies. According to Alberti’s concept ( Alberti, 1954) (see above) most taxa that show unique genitalic characters have to be treated as species in Procridinae. However, there are species groups that do not show significant differences in genitalia but are, without doubt, different species (e.g. Pollanisus in Australia, Harrisina in America). Even characters like DNA distances cannot solve this problem (e.g. Jordanita in the Palaearctic and Pollanisus in Australia). Moreover, even if small genitalic differences are present the existence of broad hybrid belts show that it is sometimes better to treat geographically separated population groups as subspecies and not as valid species even if they also have small genetic differences.
Based on the current knowledge about the variability of characters in Procridinae the authors strongly support the opinion that for the subfamily Procridinae subspecies only make sense and can be accepted if they represent a group of populations that have important constant characters that separate them clearly from the nominotypical populations without exceptions. As examples we mention Adscita (Adscita) statices statices and A. ( A.) statices drenowskii (constant genitalic differences in male, no genitalic differences in female, small genetic differences in the COI gene within the populations but clustering into two well-separated groups, similar biology, vicariant distribution, broad hybrid belt where the two subspecies meet), Adscita (Adscita) italica italica and A. ( A.) italica storaiae (no constant genitalic differences in male, small but also not constant genitalic differences in female, clear genetic distance in the COI gene, clearly isolated geographic range, no geographical meeting points and therefore no hybrids known in nature), A. ( A.) geryon geryon and A. ( A.) geryon orientalis (no constant genitalic differences but large genetic distances in the COI gene, vicariant distributional ranges, no proof of hybrids in nature so far) and A. ( A.) obscura obscura and A.( A.) obscura maxima (no differences in genitalia, constant differences only in habitus and clearly isolated geographic ranges, small genetic differences in the COI gene).
Many species and subspecies described earlier do not fit into this concept. They often were based on insufficient characters and have shown to be synonyms. Especially subspecies were often based only on habitus characters like the different size and colour of the specimens and on an isolated geographic occurrence. The lack of a profound knowledge of the overall variability of these characters in Procridinae has led to this situation. The authors have therefore already synonymized most of the so-far described subspecies in Procridinae ( Efetov & Tarmann, 1995b, 2012; Efetov, 2001d). However, recently a number of new taxa have been described where other criteria have been used by the authors as accepted by us for this catalogue (e.g. Keil, 2016b, 2020; Zolotuhin, 2020). All these taxa are here included, discussed in detail and mainly placed according to our above mentioned concept.

C01 The data of morphology and last DNA results showed that the genus Thyrassia forms an isolated monophyletic group within the subfamily Procridinae. We are describing here a new tribe Thyrassiini to reflect this situation.
Tribe Thyrassiini Efetov & Tarmann, tribus nov.
[Types-genus: ThyrassiaButler, 1876, 355]
Description. Habitus ctenuchid like, forewings triangular, brown, with transparent, white or yellow spots; hindwings extremely short, oval, brown, transparent or yellow with dark brown margin; head rounded, not compressed dorso-ventrally, with large compound eyes and a chaetosema that extends slightly but not completely between the compound eyes and the ocellus; chaetosema extended dorsomedially, the two ends of each side almost touching each other medially. The free space between the base of antenna, ocellus, compound eye and chaetosema and a narrow ring around the compound eye not smoothly scaled (as in all other Procridinae) but covered with a series of tiny hair-like scales ( Tarmann 2004, p. 21, fig. 70). Antenna shortly bipectinate proximally, very shortly biserrate distally in both sexes ( Tarmann, 2004, p. 22, figs 71-74). Legs short and robust; foretibia with epiphysis, tibial spurs absent. Frenulum a single spine in male and female. Abdomen without lateral evaginations on segments two and seven.
Male genitalia with short, stout, triangular, distally rounded uncus that is completely fused with the large tegumen; valva almost rectangular, without processes, central translucent part slightly fan- shaped; a long finger-like process inserted at the dorsal base of valva; this process forked basally, the short lateral process obviously representing an apodeme for a muscle to move the finger, the latter bent distally and bearing a brush of strong, short, backward-pointing spines. Aedeagus short, stout, strongly sclerotized, everted vesica without cornuti ( Tarmann, 2004, p. 217, figs 423-424).
Female genitalia with the papillae anales fused to a short ovipositor; ostium and ductus bursae translucent, without antrum; praebursa absent. The insertion of the ductus seminalis into the bag-like translucent corpus bursae is situated at the very centre of the corpus. This indicates that a possibly earlier present praebursa may be fused with the corpus bursae as otherwise the ductus seminalis must insert at the point where the ducus bursae widens into the corpus ( Tarmann, 2004, p. 217, fig. 425). See also Tarmann ( 2004, pp. 215-216). Larval host-plants: Vitaceae. Distribution. Southern and southeastern Asia, Australia.
C02 Most of Australian genera form a separate monophyletic branch of Procridinae that cannot be attributed to any hitherto known tribe. Therefore we are providing a description of a new tribe with the aim to accommodate this group.
Tribe Pollanisini Efetov & Tarmann, tribus nov.
[Type-genus: Pollanisus Walker, 1854, 114]
Description. Habitus variable, head dorsoventrally compressed, chaetosema extended between compound eye and ocellus (like in Artonini); foreleg without epiphysis, hindleg without medial spurs; genitalia male - valva fan-shaped without “ Artona-finger”; genitalia female - praebursa absent or if present, translucent, without double row of spines; larval host-plants: Dilleniaceae, Myrtaceae, Vitaceae, Arecaceae. Distribution. Australia, Fiji (1 species), South Africa (1 species).
C03 The genus Pollanisus was revised recently by Mollet & Tarmann (2023). The taxonomy and systematic order given here is following this revision.
C04 The taxon Pollanisus amethystina ( Meyrick, 1888) was synonymized with P. empyrea ( Meyrick, 1888) by Tarmann (2004) on the base of genitalia similarity and the fact that both taxa occur in the same regions of Western Australia and colour variations between more greenish, coppery or bluish shiny scales on the forewing upperside are not a significant character to distinguish species in the genus Pollanisus. However, new studies by Mollet (2019) have shown that these two taxa are in fact good species. Mollet reared both species from eggs to imagines, found that they live on different larval host-plants and have different habitats and distribution patterns. Consequently, he correctly reinstated Pollanisus amethystina as valid species.
C05 The phylogenetic position of LevuanaBethune-Baker, 1906, was cleared up by Nazari et al. (2019) by obtaining New Generation Sequencing (NGS)-results of historical material of L. iridescens, the type-species of Levuana. The DNA results and the morphological results were combined and show that this genus is close to the Australian genus MyrtartonaTarmann, 2004.
C06 After the exclusion of Thyrassiini, Pollanisini and Cleleini (see below) Artonini form a monophyletic group with important apomorphic character, viz. the presence of a movable process near the apex of sacculus (“ Artona-finger”). All species with this character are included within Artonini Tarmann, 1994, for which redescription can be found below.
Tribe ArtoniniTarmann, 1994, 120
[Type-genus: ArtonaWalker, 1854, 439]
Description. Habitus variable, head dorsoventrally compressed, chaetosema extended between compound eye and ocellus; foreleg with epiphysis, hindleg with single medial spur; genitalia male - valva with “ Artona-finger”, genitalia female - praebursa present, sclerotized, with double row of pointed spines; larval host-plants: Poaceae, Zingiberaceae, Pittosporaceae, Lauraceae, Musaceae, Arecaceae. Distribution. Australia, eastern, southern and southeastern Asia, tropical Africa.
C07 The genus ArtonaWalker, 1854, is still not sufficiently revised (see comment “C1” in Efetov & Tarmann 2012, p. 38) and the taxonomic situation at species level has not changed since. Artona still needs revising based on the entire type material but also with the inclusion of all the already known new species that have to be described and accommodated. The genus Artona is divided here into 5 subgenera: ArtonaWalker, 1854, Zeuxippa Herrich-Schäffer, 1855, stat. nov., Balataea Walker, 1865, stat. rev., PseudosesidiaAlberti, 1954, stat. rev., and FuscartonaEfetov & Tarmann, 2012.
C08 The type-species of the genus Artona, viz. A. discivitta Walker, 1854, originates from the Nilgiris (Western Ghat Mountains, Tamil Nadu, southern India) and is a geographically very isolated species. It shows genitalic characters that are different from all other species that are currently included into the genus Artona. All these species share with Artona discivitta the characteristic black and yellow habitus, the characteristic sexual dimorphism in pattern and the larval host-plants from the family Poaceae. However, the “brush” at the end of the “ Artona-finger” in the male genitalia is much stronger developed in all these species (except A. martini Efetov, 1997a, and A. uniformis (Alberti, 1954)) than in A. discivitta where it is almost absent and only represented by a few setae. The “ Artona-finger” in A. discivitta is only weakly developed, shorter and more slender than in all other species. There are also significant differences in the female genitalia (i.e. different form of praebursa in A. discivitta). The authors are well aware of this situation but prefer not to separate all other black and yellow species that are currently included into the genus Artona from its type-species A. discivitta. However, we leave A. discivitta as only one species in the subgenus Artona. Other species of the genus are included in the subgenera Zeuxippa, Balataea, Pseudosesidia and Fuscartona.
C09 Artona zebraica and A. fulvida are described in the same paper by Butler (1876, p. 356). These two taxa show very well how problematic the taxonomic situation within the genus Artona is. There are several species known with the habitus of A. zebraica (i.e. black ground colour with yellow spots on the forewing and some dark stripes in the hindwing and an abdomen that is narrowly ringed with yellow and black). These species are: A. digitata, A. nigrescens, A. phaeoxantha, A. khasiana (male), A. hypomelas (male), A. walkeri (male), A. hainana (male). However, most specimens with the habitus of A. zebraica are males whereas all specimens with the habitus of A. fulvida are females.
A. fulvida has the hindwing yellow with a dark margin and the abdomen always uniformly yellow with the first segment dark and the abdominal end also dark at least laterally. Species with A. fulvida habitus are: A. confusa, A. diffusa, A. flaviciliata, A. hypomelas (female), A. khasiana (female), A. walkeri (female), A. hainana (female). Species from the subgenera Artona and Zeuxippa (genus Artona) are sexually dimorphic. It is therefore possible that Butler in 1876 described males and females of the same species as two different taxa. However, most species of Artona (Zeuxippa) show this characteristic sexual dimorphism and this has already been mentioned by Jordan ( 1907a- 1908) (e.g. for A. khasiana Jordan, 1908, A. hypomelas Jordan, 1908). There are good genitalic differences between the different taxa. However, we often do not know which males belong to which females. Moreover, there are also females with almost “male habitus” known and it seems that the sexual dimorphism is not equally strong in all species. The whole situation is pretty hopeless as long as we are dependent on historical museum material. Rearing experiments from egg would solve this problem. In addition, the comparison of DNA sequences of new material could bring us further. However, species of Artona (subgenera Artona and Zeuxippa) have rarely been collected in the last decades and little new material is available. Moreover, the early stages and the life histories of most species are unknown.
C10 Artona nigrescensButler, 1876 , is distributed in northern India. It has been treated as a subspecies of A. walkeri Butler, 1876, by Jordan (1908, p. 43). Bryk (1936, p. 252) followed this opinion. However, A. (Zeuxippa) walkeri (Moore, 1859) is endemic to Java and Bali (see comment
C11). Therefore we have to raise Artona nigrescens Butler, 1876, back to species level until more information is available. The new status is: Artona (Zeuxippa) nigrescens Butler, 1876, stat. rev.
Artona neglecta Hering, 1925, is based on one single female (holotype). Hering describes it as “nahestehend Artona walkeri” (near to A. walkeri) and states that the pattern looks like that of A. walkeri hainana. However, we must take in account that A. (Z). walkeri is endemic to Java and Bali (see comment C11) and A. (Z). hainana is considered to represent a good species. A. neglecta is described from northern India and is almost certainly not conspecific with A. (Z). walkerior A. (Z). hainana. We therefore treat A. (Z). neglecta in this checklist again as a separate species as long as we cannot prove that it belongs to any other so far described species. The status is now: Artona (Zeuxippa) neglecta, stat. rev.
Artona guttata Snellen, 1892, has also been treated as a subspecies by Jordan ( 1908, p. 43) (like A. nigrescens) but of A. zebraica Butler, 1876. It occurs in central Sumatra. The female type deposited in NNML (Leiden, NL) and additional material from the BMNH (London, UK) show that this taxon is different from all Artona (Zeuxippa) species that are known from India, the SE Asian mainland and from the other Sunda Islands. We therefore treat Artona guttata Snellen, 1892, herewith again as a valid species. The status is now: Artona (Zeuxippa) guttata, stat. rev.
C11 Moore (1859) described Syntomis walkeri after male and female specimens from Java collected by Dr Horsefield. One male specimen in the BMNH has a round pin-label with red ring with the printed inscription “Type”. As far as we know, a lectotype has never been designated. The attached type label must have been put on the pin later, presumably by Karl Jordan who treated the Zygaenidae in the volumes of Seitz (1907a, 1907c, 1908). We therefore designate this specimen herewith as the male lectotype and figure it ( Figure 26).
Subsequently, Artona walkeri was mentioned from various south and southeast Asian countries between the Himalayas, southern China and the Sunda Islands and several taxa have been attached to this species as subspecies ( Hampson, 1893; Jordan, 1907; Bryk, 1926; Alberti, 1854). However, as far as examined by us, Artona (Zeuxippa) walkeri ( Moore, 1859) is restricted to the islands of Java and Bali. All specimens that are mentioned in the literature as A. walkeri but not originating from these two islands have been misidentified. The genitalia of A. (Z). walkeri are very characteristic (especially of the female) and cannot be mixed with other Artona species.
C12Artona pluristrigata is only known from its female holotype. The habitus is different from most other species that are currently included into the genus Artona. Its generic position has to be verified and has already been doubted by Holloway ( 2011, p. 24, tab. 1, fig. 6).
C13 The recently described three female specimens from China, Guangdong as a new species S. nanling Owada & Wang, 2021, have no strong differences in characters from those of the holotype of Bintha clathrata Poujade, 1886a, a species known so far only from two female specimens ( Huang & Efetov, 2021). It is difficult to judge whether the specimens described as S. nanling really belong to a species different from S. clathrata. More material is necessary to evaluate the character variability in this genus.]
C14 A number of species that have so far been treated as ArtonaWalker, 1854, and HomophylotisTurner, 1904, belong to the genus Amuria Staudinger, 1887, as they are congeneric with its type species Amuria cyclops Staudinger, 1887. The larvae of none of them feed on Poaceae, as far as the biology is known. The habitus is dominated by dark (mainly brown, purplish or bluish) colors. Some of these species are almost uniformly dark and if there is a pattern the dark colors contrast with white or light yellow markings. The typical black and yellow wing pattern of Artona s. str. (now subgenera Artona and Zeuxippa) is absent and the body is never ringed with yellow and black like in most Artona species. In the male genitalia the apex of the valva bears spiny prolongations (found also in Balataea but absent in the subgenera Artona and Zeuxippa). There are also differences in the female genitalia. In habitus, Amuria species are also similar to species of the subgenus PseudoamuriaTarmann, 2004, and species of the genus HomophylotisTurner, 1904. At the moment we have to admit that we still have a great deficit in the knowledge of many of the existing species. More careful morphological examinations are necessary to give us an idea on the variability of characters. Fresh material would be important for DNA analyses. The knowledge of the biology may also give us important further information. However, most of the known species are only available in single specimens and many of them are more than 100 years old. See also comment C16.
C15 Brachartona quadrisignata Snellen, 1903 (on p. 234) and Brachartona trisignata Snellen, 1903 (on p. 235) are female and male of the same species as can be seen from extended reared material from Java that is deposited in “Naturalis, Natural History Museum, Leiden, Netherlands”. The habitus described by Snellen for B. quadrisignata is that of the female, that described for B. trisignata that of the male. Consequently, we have to accept that these two names are synonyms. However, the name Brachartona trisignata Snellen, 1903, is much more often used in literature than Brachartona quadrisignata Snellen, 1903, especially in the literature on applied entomology (e.g. Tothill, et al. 1930). We therefore prefer to keep the name Brachartona trisignata Snellen, 1903, and synonymise Brachartona quadrisignata Snellen, 1903, syn. nov., with B. trisignata. This species is currently accommodated in the genus AmuriaStaudinger, 1887.
C16 PseudoamuriaTarmann, 2004, was described to accommodate the species Pseudoamuria uptoni Tarmann, 2004. There was a second species included in Tarmann (2004), viz. Pseudoamuria neglecta Tarmann, 2004. Both have similar habitus as HomophylotisTurner, 1904, but they lack the typical genitalia structures of Homophylotis (description see below). However, when Tarmann described this genus he had three males and one female of the type species P. uptoni Tarmann, 2004, with well- preserved genitalia but only one very bad female genitalia of the holotype of Pseudoamuria neglecta Tarmann, 2004. This specimen had been attacked by Anthrenus beetles earlier. Since then more material has become known from P. neglecta and also a well preserved female. Now we can see that the female of P. neglecta has a well-developed praebursa with a prominent crest with dentations such as we find in AmuriaStaudinger, 1887.
While examining more material from the Indo-Pacific region with the habitus of Amuria, Pseudoamuria and Homophylotis we found that there are more species involved where the praebursa lacks the characteristic crest with dentations. However, there is also more material available of species with genitalia of the “ Pseudoamuria neglecta type”. They cannot be mixed with Homophylotis as in this genus the female has a very characteristic autapomorphy, i.e. the translucent praebursa and the corpus bursae are fused to a single structure and the ductus seminalis inserts in the middle of this structure (at the place where the fusion has taken place) (see Tarmann, 2004, pp. 197-200, figs 385- 401).
We therefore find three genitalia types in the females of Amuria, Pseudoamuria and
Homophylotis:
1, praebursa well developed, strongly sclerotized, with a prominent crest that bears dentations ( Amuria-type);
2, praebursa well-developed, translucent, without a prominent crest that bears dentations ( Pseudoamuria; but not P. neglecta - with strongly sclerotized praebursa with dentations!);
3, praebursa and corpus bursae fused to a single, translucent structure ( Homophylotis-type).
Only after an examination of all the type material and the additional material that is deposited in museum collections can we decide whether it will be necessary to describe more genera to accommodate all the known species (see comment C07). This work could not be completed so far.
Moreover, it seems highly uncertain that all species can be summarized in one genus or subgenus (e.g. Pseudoamuria) where the typical praebursa of the Amuria-type is not found and which cannot be placed under Homophylotis because their genitalia characters do not agree with the characters (see above) of that genus. The reduction of the sclerotized praebursa with the characteristic crest with dentations has most probably taken place several times independently in evolution.
Therefore, for the moment, as a compromise, we accommodate all Indo-Pacific species with the habitus of Amuria, Pseudoamuria or Homophylotis with a well-developed praebursa with a prominent crest that bears dentations into the genus AmuriaStaudinger, 1887, but also all species that have this habitus and lack the praebursa with the dentate crest. All species that have praebursa and corpus bursae fused to a single structure (as described above) are accommodated under the genus HomophylotisTurner, 1904. An exception is PalmartonaTarmann, 2004, that has very special antennal and genitalic characters. This taxon is left separately and treated here as a genus.
C17Homophylotis melaleucaJordan, 1908 , is treated as Pseudoamuria melaleuca ( Jordan, 1908) in Tarmann ( 2004, p. 294, figs 403, 409) and its male genitalia is figured. However, the specimen taken for the figures has now shown to be an undescribed new species from New Guinea. Its larva lives on banana trees. (A description is postponed as a dissection of the type of Homophylotis melaleucaJordan, 1908, deposited in BMNH (London) is essential for a proper differential diagnosis!).
C18 Homophylotis aeneaJordan, 1925, lacks the characters that are described as typical for HomophylotisTurner, 1904, by Tarmann ( 2004, p. 191) based on the examination of type material. This is (in the male) the very small and translucent valva without ventral processes distally and a stout aedeagus (phallus) without any cornuti or eversible spines but with a characteristic spiny surface on the vesica. H. aenea has a female genitalia with a well-developed praebursa that contains a slightly curved spiny crest with long dentations. We therefore transfer Homophylotis aenea Jordan, 1925, to the genus AmuriaStaudinger, 1887. The new combination is: Amuria aenea ( Jordan, 1925), comb. nov.
C19 Homophylotis chalcosoma Jordan, 1926, has also a well-developed praebursa with a row of dentations in the female genitalia. This species is therefore also transferred into the genus Amuria Staudinger, 1887 (see also comment C18). The new combination is: Amuria chalcosoma (Jordan, 1926), comb. nov.
C20 Tasema nigra Hampson, 1893, Artona albicilia Hampson, 1900, Homophylotis purpurata Jordan, 1908, and Pseudoamuria neglecta Tarmann, 2004, are, for the moment, transferred to AmuriaStaudinger, 1887, based on the arguments explained under C16. The new combinations are: Amuria nigra ( Hampson, 1893), comb. nov., Amuria albicilia ( Hampson, 1900), comb. nov., Amuria purpurata (Jordan, 1908), comb. nov., Amuria neglecta ( Tarmann, 2004), comb. nov.
C21 All the remaining species that were hitherto included into Artonini and cannot be attributed to Thyrassiini, Pollanisini and Artonini (sensu stricto, see definition above) form a group that is described here as the tribe Cleleini.
Tribe Cleleini Efetov & Tarmann, tribus nov.
[Type-genus: CleleaWalker, 1854, 465]
Description. Habitus variable, wings often of “ Procris-type” sensu Alberti, 1954; foreleg with epiphysis (sometimes secondarily reduced), hindleg with single medial spur (sometimes secondarily reduced); genitalia male - valva without “ Artona-finger”, genitalia female – praebursa absent or if present without double row of pointed spines; larval host-plants: Vitaceae, Hydrangeaceae, Fabaceae, Rosaceae, Poaceae. Distribution. eastern, southern and southeastern Asia, tropical Africa.
C22 Owada (2021) published a study on the Clelea formosana complex from Taiwan and comes to the conclusion that C. formosanaconsists of the three different species: C. formosana Strand, 1915, C. simplicior Bryk, 1936, and C. kanoi Owada, 2021. In addition to habitus differences Owada found also small genitalic differences between these three taxa. All three taxa have a vicariant distribution. Based on the “concept for species and subspecies in this catalogue” (see introduction), we see these three taxa as good subspecies with geographical vicariant distribution and small genitalic differences and treat them in this catalogue as subspecies of C. formosana. C. formosana formosanaStrand, 1915, C. formosana simplicior Bryk, 1936, stat. nov. and C. formosana kanoi Owada, 2021, stat. nov.
C23 After the description of Thibetana witti Efetov, 1997c, it became clear that the two taxa Artona zebraElwes, 1890, and Artona postalba Elwes, 1890, do not belong to the genus ArtonaWalker, 1854. They belong to ThibetanaEfetov & Tarmann, 1995 ( Efetov & Tarmann, 2017b).
C24 We studied a specimen figured by Holloway, 2011, plate 1, fig. 26 as a male of “ Chrysartona pravata” and found that it is a female of Ch. hausmanni.
C25 Ch. ( Ch.) murziniMollet, 2016a, was described on the base of one male holotype. Only female holotype is known from Ch. (Ch.) efetoviParshkova, 2007, distributed in northeastern India. The possible conspecificity of these taxa could be proven on the basis of additional material. Moreover, Ch. (Ch.) hausmanniEfetov, 2006, is also known only from females.
C26 Ch. (Chrystarm.) mineti Efetov & Tarmann, 2013b, and Ch. ( Chrystarm.) antenorMollet, 2018, are very similar and both originate from Vietnam. Character variability in these two species in habitus as well as in the genitalia cannot be excluded. More material has to be examined to clear this.
C27 The genus Piarosoma was revised by Efetov & Tarmann (unpublished) and Owada et. al. (2022) simultaneously. Owada et al. (2022) finished their studies earlier and have therefore priority. However, we list here additional facts from our typescript to give the reader a more complete picture on this interesting group.
HysterosceneHering, 1925 is a junior synonym to PiarosomaHampson, 1893 ( Owada et al. 2022).
At the time of Hering (1925), Bryk (1936) and Alberti (1954) the family Zygaenidae was separated into seven subfamilies: Himantopterinae Rogenhofer, 1884 (now a separate family within the Zygaenoidea); Phaudinae Kirby, 1892 (now a separate family within the Zygaenoidea); Chalcosiinae Walker, 1865; Charideinae Butler, 1876 (now a separate subfamily within the Thyrididae); Anomoeotinae Hering, 1937 (now a separate family within the Zygaenoidea); Procridinae Boisduval, 1828; and Zygaeninae Latreille. Based on the contemporary classification, after the exclusion of the subfamily Phaudinae Kirby, 1892 (now it is the family Phaudidae) and description of a new subfamily Inouelinae Efetov & Tarmann, 2017a, the family Zygaenidae includes five subfamilies: Inouelinae Efetov & Tarmann, 2017a; Procridinae Boisduval, 1828; Chalcosiinae Walker, 1865; Callizygaeninae Alberti, 1954; and Zygaeninae Latreille, 1809 ( Efetov, 1999, 2001b; Efetov et al. 2014b; Efetov & Tarmann, 2017a). The Procridinae are represented by five tribes: Thyrassiini Efetov & Tarmann, tribus nov., Pollanisini Efetov & Tarmann, tribus nov., Artonini Tarmann, 1994, Cleleini Efetov & Tarmann, tribus nov., and Procridini Boisduval, 1828 ( Efetov, 1996, 1997a, 1997b, 1998, 2001a, 2006, 2010; Efetov et al. 2004, 2014a, 2014c, 2016; Efetov & Hayashi, 2008; Efetov & Tarmann, 1995, 2013a, 2013b, 2014a, 2014b, 2016a, 2016b, 2017b, this publication, Tarmann, 1994).
PiarosomaHampson, 1893, as well as HysterosceneHering, 1925, were arranged in Zygaeninae by Bryk (1936). However, Alberti (1954) in his world revision of Zygaenidae, transferred many genera from Zygaeninae and Chalcosiinae to Procridinae Boisduval, 1828, amongst them Piarosoma and Hysteroscene. In the meantime the subfamily Procridinae of Zygaenidae has been proved to represent a well-separated monophyletic group divided into the five tribes (see above). PiarosomaHampson, 1893 (syn. HysterosceneHering, 1925) is a Procridinae based on the fact that in the female the spermatheca (= receptaculum seminis) is not divided into a tube-like utriculus and a bulb-like lagena as in most other ditrysian Lepidoptera and all other Zygaenidae subfamilies but developed as one structure, the bursa utricularis ( Efetov & Tarmann, 2017a).
Piarosoma has a spherical head capsule and a triangular chaetosema that is placed very dorsally and is only slightly extended anteriorly and does not fill the space between the dorsal edge of the compound eye and the ocellus - it therefore should belong to the tribe Procridini. A fan-like valva in the male genitalia is slightly developed and can be seen in some male genitalia preparations but only under special illumination. The protuberances on abdominal segments 2 and 7 are absent. A single third medial spur on hind tibia is developed. Summarising all these characters we include here Piarosoma into the tribe Cleleini Efetov & Tarmann, tribus nov.
Redescription of Piarosoma
Body with blackish ground colour with a bluish tinge in fresh specimens; thorax with white orcreamy yellow patagia, forming a collar and a white or creamy yellow pattern on abdomen.
Head. Spherical, frons only slightly rounded, not proceeding dorsally; space between compound eye and ocellus without scales anteriorly but covered by a short extension of the triangular chaetosema posteriorly, labial palps short, slightly upcurved, not exceeding frons; antenna bipectinate in both sexes, pointed distally, with the length of the rami tapering towards apex. Proboscis well developed yellow or light brown.
Thorax. Patagia and tegulae well developed, patagia often coloured. Legs long, mid and hindleg almost as long as length of body. Foreleg with tibial epiphysis, hindleg with a pair of apical spurs and a single medial spur.
Wings with transparent areas, forewings one third longer than hindwing. Wing venation on forewing with R.+R. stalked together, all other veins free from cell, medial stem only developed as a groove and not as a full vein, the posterior margin of cell is formed by the basal part of vein CuA. which is then running from the posterior edge of the cell in an upcurved way to the wing border, vein CuA. is not fully developed, the basal part is completely reduced and the visible vein starts from a curved cross vein between CuA. and CuP that forms an edge where CuA. arises, CuP is fully developed and also 1A+2A; hindwing with Sc fused with the anterior part of cell for a short distance and free distally, all other veins free from cell, with three medial veins, medial stem only developed as a vein distally, CuP and the three anal veins 1A, 2A and 3A fully developed. Wing pattern very characteristic, with blackish and densely scaled parts and clear, completely scaleless, transparent “windows” that are arranged in groups on the wings and correspond in their margins with the exceptional wing venation of Piarosoma.
Abdomen without exceptional structures.
Genitalia male. Uncus strongly sclerotized, base triangular, apex short or long. Valva subquadrate or rounded, with or without process at the distal part of ventral margin (at the distal end of sacculus). Juxta triangularly rounded; transtilla prominent, consisting of a basal plate of different shape and a pair of “horns” dorsally. The translucent central part of the valva with smooth surface basally, but fan- shaped with parallel folds distally (not visible in all dissections). Aedeagus (outer sclerotized part of phallus) broad anteriorly, tapering towards the posterior end, at this distal end a heart-shaped, folded structure is present that is covered with hundreds of little spines. This structures is connected by a translucent band with the juxta. Vesica (translucent eversible part of phallus) with a long band-like structure that bears many small cornuti; if the vesica is not everted this structure appears as a serpentine-like band within the aedeagus, but if everted the vesica is a long, very narrow tube of ca. 4- times the length of the aedeagus and the spines are arranged in a long band with a single small plate of different shape at the distal end.
Genitalia female. Papillae anales small, oval, covered with short setae. Apophyses posteriores with a broad base and a short, very slender distal part that ends round and not pointed distally. 8th sternite and 8th tergite fused to a broad band-like ring. Apophyses anteriores short, developed as translucent, triangular edges. Ostium developed as a narrow sclerotized, oval ring; no sclerotized antrum developed and the translucent, narrow, folded and extremely long ductus bursae starts directly from the ostium ring and ends without forming a praebursa into the translucent, oval corpus bursae that has a large lateral oval appendix. Inner female genitalia with a receptaculum typical for Procridinae with a long ductus spiralis, a bag-shaped translucent utriculus, without a lagena (as is present in most Lepidoptera) and with a long and narrow accessory gland. The two “horns” of the glandula sebacea are long and tube-like, slightly asymmetrical, one longer and broader, the other shorter and more slender. Petersen’s gland is well visible and developed as a very small translucent organ with two narrow ducts arising from the terminal end of the oviduct and each of them ending into a globular bulb (very difficult to see due to the fragility of this structure).
Differential diagnosis. The genus PiarosomaHampson, 1893, is externally similar to PhacusaWalker, 1854. The exceptional wing venation in Piarosoma is unique. Piarosoma has a medial spur on the hind tibia that is absent in Phacusa. In Phacusa males the vesica bears between two to four cornuti, and at least two of them are hook-shaped whereas in Piarosoma many small cornuti are arranged along a very long band-like vesica seminalis. In the female genitalia Phacusa has a prominent praebursa with strongly sclerotized structures developed while in Piarosoma a praebursa is absent.
C28 Phacusa sizala Swinhoe, 1894, was removed from Piarosoma by Owada et al. (2022). However, as the systematic position of this species is unclear until the type investigation, we provisionally leave it in the genus Piarosoma.
C29 The afrotropical Zygaenidae had to be compiled without major revisional work. Based on the treatments of the group by Gaede (1926), Bryk (1936) and Alberti ( 1954, 1957), with the inclusion of some smaller contributions, e.g., Viette ( 1965, 1978), Tarmann ( 1985b, 2003), Vari, Kroon & Krüger (2002) etc. and after having undertaken only some preliminary own examinations this list has to be seen as provisional. The following examinations are responsible for basic changes compared with earlier treatments:
1. Examination of the female genitalia proved that the receptaculum seminis consists of the utriculus only and lacks a lagena. However, the tube-like form of the utriculus (at the position where the lagena is situated in non procridine zygaenids and other Lepidoptera) is always slightly or prominently broadened in Procridinae, forming a bag-like structure. This unique structure represents a basic autapomorphy of the Procridinae and is described as “bursa utricularis” ( Efetov & Tarmann, 2017a). Gaede (1926) placed the afrotropical Zygaenidae in Zygaeninae, Bryk (1936) in Chalcosiinae and Zygaeninae. Alberti (1954) treated the group as Procridinae but included the genera Saliunca Walker, 1864, SyringuraHolland, 1893, TasciaWalker, 1856, and AstyloneuraGaede, 1914, within his tribe Callizygaenini (raised to Callizygaeninae by Tarmann, 1994) that has a well-developed lagena in receptaculum seminis like all other Zygaenidae. Our examinations showed that the African Procridinae do not belong to Callizygaeninae but are true Procridinae.
2. The examination of the head capsule, abdomen, legs and genitalia show that the genera ChalconyclesJordan, 1907, and NeobalataeaAlberti, 1954, belong to the tribe Artonini Tarmann, 1994, the genera MetanyclesButler, 1876, AethioprocrisAlberti, 1954, Sthenoprocris Hampson, 1920, AnkasocrisViette, 1965, IschnusiaJordan, 1928, AlteramenelikiaAlberti, 1971, Triacanthia Romieux, 1937, XenoprocrisRomieux, 1937, MadaprocrisViette, 1978, Afromalambliagen. nov. belong to the tribe Cleleini Efetov & Tarmann, tribus nov., whereas Saliunca Walker, 1864, Syringura Holland, 1893, TasciaWalker, 1856, and AstyloneuraGaede, 1914, are here placed in Procridini Boisduval, 1828.
3. Saliuncella Jordan, 1907, with the only known species S. marshalliJordan, 1907, is extraordinary as this species is the only African taxon that is closely related to the Australian Pollanisus-Onceropyga-group. The habitus is that of a Pollanisus in male and female. The female has an abdominal hairtuft. The genitalia are close to Onceropyga. The larval host- plants are Vitaceae like in Onceropyga. S. marshalli was reared from Rhoicissus sp. (Vitaceae) by N. J. Duke in 1994 from Swasiland (South Africa) (reference specimens in BMNH) ( Fig. 45). Consequently, this species is here placed into the tribe Pollanisini Efetov & Tarmann, tribus nov.
Redescription of Saliuncella marshalli Jordan, 1907.
Body densely scaled, with dark greyish green ground colour and shiny blue scales that give the body and legs a strong bluish sheen or only a tinge of blue depending from the angle of the incoming light.
Head. Dorsoventrally compressed (like in Pollanisus and Artona), space between compound eye and ocellus covered with scales anteriorly, chaetosema triangular, anteriorly extended into the space between compound eye and ocellus but not exceeding this space. Labial palps well developed, curved upwards, slightly exceeding frons; maxillary palps very small; antenna with broad shaft, basal part in male strongly bipectinate, the last 5 segments biserrate, apex bluntly pointed, antenna in female biserrate, covered with shiny bluish scales at shaft (in fresh specimens). 28 antennal segments. Proboscis well developed, yellow. Compound eyes small, frons broader than compound eyes in frontal view. Distance between dorsal margin of compound eye and ocellus approximately as broad as diameter of ocellus.
Genitalia male. The male genitalia of Saluncella marshalli is similar to that of the eastern Australian species of Onceropyga ( Tarmann, 2004, figs 273-282), although the habitus is very different. Uncus slender, 1/3 shorter than length of valva; tegumen and vinculum very translucent, slender; pulvinus very small, with a very long bundle of hairs that is coming off easily during preparation; valva translucent, strongly fan-shaped, without sclerotization dorsally, with narrow, straight ventral sclerotisation that exceeds the length of the ventral margin of the valva like in Onceropyga anelia, but is almost as slender as that of O. pulchra; aedeagus very long and slender, tube-like, with a very narrow, needle-like, slightly twisted cornutus that has almost the length of the aedeagus.
Genitalia female. Ostium narrow, oval; ductus bursae slender, with a double spiral in the middle that is slightly sclerotised, inserting in a very translucent, bag-like corpus bursae; papillae anales weakly sclerotized, with very short setae, apophyses posteriors short and slender; apophyses anteriores also short and slender.
C30 The genus Malamblia Jordan, 1907, with its type-species M. durbanica Jordan, 1907, is removed from the African zygaenid list. Its type-species is a synonym to Procris melasGuérin-Méneville, 1839 , for which Jordan described the genus ChilioprocrisJordan, 1913. This species is restricted to Chile (South America). The error had its origin in a misreading of the original label of the type specimen by Jordan (see Tarmann, 1985b). The other species included in Malamblia by Hampson (1910), Gaede (1926) and Bryk (1936) cannot be placed into a so far described genus. We therefore describe here the new genus Afromalambliagen. nov. to accommodate these species.
Afromalamblia Efetov & Tarmann, gen. nov.
Type species: Malamblia flavipalpis Hampson, 1910, 488, here designated.
Diagnosis (based on the female holotype and one male of Malamblia flavipalpis Hampson, 1910, Brachartona unxia Druce, 1896, and Brachartona titoea Druce, 1896, and one more undescribed species from Madagascar in the collection of the Natural History Museum, London).
Head dorsoventrally flattened, frons round, protruding dorsally, maxillary palps rudimentary, invisible, labial palps porrect, proboscis yellow, compound eyes small, black, frons 1.5 times broader than compound eye in frontal view, breadth of frons equal in male and female (no sexual dimorphism in this character), ocelli small, distance from compound eye 1.5 times the diameter of ocellus, chaetosema long, oval, strongly protruding forwards (as in Pseudoamuria). Foretibia with epiphysis, mid- and hindlegs with one pair of spurs (no third medial spur present!). Frenulum consisting of only one spine in female, retinaculum between base of CuP and posterior margin of cell visible as a small aggregation of specialized long, forward pointing scales.
The genitalia of Malamblia flavipalpis was dissected by Vari (No. 617) and one wing was also prepared by Vari on a slide. For more than two years a request to photograph the genitalia and the wing preparation on the slide has been sent to London. However, due to lack of resources this could not be done so far. A description of the genitalia has therefore to be postponed.
Derivatio nominis. The name is a construction compiled from Malamblia (now a genus valid for a South American species) and the term “Africa”.
C31 A redescription of the tribe Procridinae is provided below.
Tribe ProcridiniBoisduval, 1828, 38
[Type genus: Procris [Fabricius in Illiger], 1807, 289]
Description. Head capsule spherical, not compressed dorsoventrally, chaetosema not extended between compound eye and ocellus; foreleg with or without epiphysis, hindleg without medial spur; genitalia male - valva not fan-shaped, without “ Artona-finger”; genitalia female - with or without praebursa; larval host-plants: Vitaceae, Rosaceae, Fagaceae, Polygonaceae, Asteraceae, Plumbaginaceae, Cistaceae, Geraniaceae and some others, a few species are polyphagous. Distribution. Europe, Asia, Africa, America.
C32 The genitalia of Illiberis (Alterasvenia) paradistinctaAlberti, 1954, differs significantly from those of other species of Alterasvenia, including the type-species of this subgenus, viz. Northia ulmivora Graeser, 1888. The aedeagus in the male genitalia resembles that of species of the genus HedinaAlberti, 1954, but the female genitalia of Illiberis paradistincta has no huge praebursa with rows of sclerotized spines as in Hedina. As this combination of characters is unique, we describe here a new genus Pseudohedinagen. nov. to accommodate Illiberis paradistincta (type-species of Pseudohedina by monotypy).
Pseudohedina Efetov & Tarmann, gen. nov.
Type species: Illiberis paradistincta Alberti, 1954, 246, by original desigantion and monotypy.
Diagnosis: Adult with typical Illiberis-habitus with transparent wings and well visible veins. In male genitalia valvae without any processes on the ventral margin of sacculus; aedeagus broader distally, with a group of large, pointed, strongly sclerotized cornuti (like in Hedina). Female genitalia without strongly dilated praebursa, lacking rows of sclerotized spines. Corpus bursae globular, not asymmetric (as in Hedina) and not double lobed (as in Alterasvenia).
C33 Revisional work on PhacusaWalker, 1854, by the authors has shown that the genitalia of Phacusa nicobarica Hampson, 1920, are different from those of Ph. tenebrosa ( Walker, 1854) and Ph. nicobaricais not a synonym of Ph. tenebrosa (synonymised by Efetov & Tarmann (2012)). As a consequence, Phacusa nicobarica Hampson, 1920, stat. rev. is here accepted as a good species.
C34 New material collected in European Turkey (Thrace) by Feza Can with the help of newly synthesised attractant from the series EFETOV-2 shows that Rhagades pruni ([ Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) occurs also in Turkey ( Can Cengiz et al. 2016).
C35 In agreement with the concept of this catalogue how to treat species and subspecies (see chapter “The concept for species and subspecies in this catalogue” above) we feel obliged to change the status of some recently described taxa of ZygaenoprocrisHampson, 1900. This was not an easy decision as this genus has been extensively investigated in recent years by Keil ( 2002, 2014, 2016a, 2016b, 2016c, 2020) and most descriptions of new taxa are accompanied by biological and ecological data. Moreover, also first genetic results are available.
However, in comparison with other well-separated taxa that are treated in this catalogue as subspecies (e.g. Adscita statices statices, A. statices drenowskii, A. geryon geryon, A. geryon orientalis), some of the new taxa within Zygaenoprocris cannot be treated as separate species as they do not differ more from their nearest related taxa than in many other cases where we have accepted subspecific rank. We accept therefore here all taxa described by Keil as valid, but we group some together and treat only those taxa as species that have relevant genitalic differences (even if these differences can be small). Also considering our DNA results from the ZYGMO project in BOLD a clear picture is shown in two species, viz. Z. ( Molletia. persepolis ( Alberti, 1938) with four subspecies and Z. ( M.) duskei ( Grum-Grshimailo, 1902) with also four subspecies. In Zygaenoproris (Zygaenoprocris) the situation is more difficult as several taxa have been observed occurring syntopically (e.g. Z. ( Z.) mystrocera and Z. ( Z.) efetovi) ( Keil, 2020), in addition, these taxa have stable genitalic differences) and have to be treated as species. Moreover, the taxonomic situation regarding Z. ( Z.) khorassana in relation to Z. ( Z.) mystrocera seems not completely clear. We therefore treat the latter for the moment as an independent species and Z. ( Z.) mystrocera together with Z. ( Z.) molleti and Z. ( Z) valii as one species with three well separated subspecies.
As was mentioned above, Z. ( M.) duskei ( Grum-Grshimailo, 1902) includes four subspecies. One of these subspecies, viz. Z. ( M.) duskei kliri Keil, 2002, has been raised to species level by Keil (2023) without any comments. Here we consider this taxon as a subspecies of Z. ( M.) duskei. Moreover, Keil (2023) mentioned erroneously two more species in the genus Zygaenoprocris, viz. Zygaenoprocris statices and Z. obscura, both correctly belonging to the genus Adscita.
C36 Zygaenoprocris rjabovi ( Alberti, 1938c) and Zygaenoprocris eberti ( Alberti, 1968) were placed in the subgenus Zygaenoprocris until now. However, they have good morphological differences from Zygaenoprocris chalcochlora Hampson, 1900, the type species of this subgenus. New DNA data (Miric et al. 2023) confirmed the isolated position of Z. rjabovi and Z. eberti. It has therefore been necessary to erect a new subgenus of the genus Zygaenoprocris to accommodate these two taxa (Figure 1).
Subgenus Longiterna Efetov & Tarmann, subgen. nov. (Figure 1)
[Type-species: Procris rjaboviAlberti, 1938c, 94, here designated]
Zygaenoprocris (Longiterna) rjabovi and Zygaenoprocris (Longiterna) eberti have forewings green with strong metallic sheen, long aedeagus with single strongly sclerotized cornutus in male and extremely long ductus bursae in female ( Efetov & Tarmann, 1999, figs 109, 167, 168; Efetov et al. 2014a).
Differentional diagnosis. All remaining species of the subgenus Zygaenoprocris have the ductus bursae and the aedeagus much shorter and a weakly sclerotised cornutus. All species of the other subgenera of the genus Zygaenoprocris have strongly different genitalia structures ( Efetov & Tarmann, 1999).
Etymology. The word “Longiterna” consists of two parts: “Longi” shows that these species have very long ductus bursae in female genitalia; the ending “terna” has been used already by B. Alberti to create a subgeneric name Lucasiterna (later the same principle was used for Procriterna Efetov & Tarmann and Solaniterna Efetov).
C37 Adscita mauretanica ( Naufock, 1932) is the only Adscita species in northwestern Africa. Although this species is in habitus, antennal structures and biology a clear Adscita, its genitalia are strongly different from all Adscita known so far. Moreover, in the COI gene (barcoding tree) this species is far away from all other Adscita species. Its nearest neighbour Adscita bolivari shows ca. 7% genetic difference. All these characters show the unique position of A. mauretanica in Adscita. We therefore describe a new subgenus for this isolated species. Moreover, new genetic studies including nuclear genes confirm the position of A. mauretanica between Adscita and Jordanita (Miric et al. 2023).
Subgenus Afroterna Efetov & Tarmann, subgen. nov. ( Figure 2)
Type-species: Procris mauretanicaNaufock, 1932, 77, here designated.
Diagnosis. Males and females are externally very similar to Adscita statices, the type species of the genus AdscitaRetzius, 1783, with shiny green body and forewing upperside and with clubbed antennae. Antenna with pectinations in male, the last segments fused to plates; female without antennal pectinations. Male genitalia. Uncus slender, as long as tegumen. Valva long and slender, ventral margin of sacculus without process, apex of sacculus rounded. Phallus short and broad, ca. 3.5 times longer than broad, vesica with two strongly sclerotized, curved cornuti. Female genitalia. Caudal part of ductus bursae strongly dilated, forming a spherical or ovoid praebursa that has a ventral pocket-like evagination and bears sclerotized dentations ( Efetov & Tarmann, 1999, p. 108, fig. 95, p. 123, fig. 157, Efetov, 2001f, p 161, plate 9, fig. 12, p. 209, plate 32, fig. 12).
The morphology of the early instars and their biology is not strongly different from those of other Adscita species. The larval host-plants are Polygonaceae and Cistaceae.
Etymology. The word “Afroterna” consists of two parts: “Afro” shows that this species is only found in Africa (North African distribution); for meaning of “terna” see above (comment C36).
C38 According to morphological, biological and molecular characters the subgenus Adscita Retzius, 1783, is a paraphyletic subgenus clearly consisting of three monophyletic units, viz. ( jordani-group + statices-group), ( obscura-group) and ( geryon-group + albanica-group). In this catalogue we are describing two new subgenera with the aim to have three monophyletic subgenera.
Subgenus Obscuriterna Efetov & Tarmann, subgen. nov. (C38) ( Figure 2)
[Type-species: Procris obscuraZeller, 1847a, 15, here designated]
Adscita (Obscuriterna) obscura has an isolated position in the genus. It has extraordinary genitalia structures and larvae feeding on at least three plant families. The characters of the new subgenus are an extremely long aedeagus (ratio of length to breadth is approximately 20) and also extremely long ductus bursae (ratio of length to breadth more than 60) ( Efetov & Tarmann, 1999, figs 94, 156; Efetov, 2001f, plates 9, 33), the larvae feed on Cistaceae, Rosaceae and Fabaceae (and not on Polygonaceae).
Differentional diagnosis. All remaining species of the subgenus Adscita are oligophagous and have much shorter aedeagus and ductus bursae (Efetov & Tarmann, 1999, figs. 89-93. 95-107, 151-155, 157-165; Efetov, 2001f, plates 3-12, 28-32, 34-36).
Etymology. The word “Obscuriterna” consists of two parts: “Obscuri” shows that this subgenus is monotypic with one species A. obscura. For meaning of “terna” see above (comment C36).
C39
Subgenus Eurasiterna subgen. nov. ( Figure 2)
[Type-species: Adscita dujardini Efetov & Tarmann, 2014b, 182, here designated]
Included species. Adscita (Eurasiterna) capitalis( Staudinger, 1879), A. ( Eur.. geryon (Hübner, 1813), A. (Eur.) dujardini Efetov & Tarmann, 2014b, and A. (Eur.) albanica ( Naufock, 1926).
All four species form one branch on a DNA-tree and have a much smaller ratio of length to breadth of aedeagus (less than 15) and also much smaller ratio of length to breadth of ductus bursae (less than 15) than in A. (O). obscura. Larval host-plants belong to Geraniaceae and/or Cistaceae. Species of this subgenus form two groups, viz. geryon-group (ductus bursae tubular, without praebursa) and albanica-group (ductus bursae strongly delated formig a praebursa) ( Efetov & Tarmann, 1999).
Differentional diagnosis. All remaining species of the subgenus Adscita have another combination of characters. The larvae of the representatives of the subgenus Adscita are feeding on Polygonaceae ( Rumex species). For characters of Afroterna and Obscuriterna see above.
Etymology. The word “Eurasiterna” consists of two parts: “Eurasi” shows western Palaearctic distribution of all four included species (Europe and western Asia); for meaning of “terna” see above (comment C36).
C40 Different populations of Jordanita (Roccia) paupera ( Christoph, 1887) (sometimes strongly geographically isolated from one another) can have DNA barcode distances. However, as there are no constant genitalic differences between these populations, we consider them as one species. Recently, Zolotuhin (2020) described two new taxa: Jordanita (Roccia) scintillosaZolotuhin, 2020, and J. ( R.) smaragdonna Zolotuhin, 2020. These two taxa are considered to be synonyms of Jordanita (Roccia) paupera ( Christoph, 1887) ( Efetov et al. 2022; Efetov & Tarmann, 2022).
C41 As shown in Efetov et al, (2019)Ino budensis var. mollis Grum-Grshimailo, 1893, described from China, and so far treated as a synonym of Jordanita (Roccia) paupera ( Christoph, 1887) ( Efetov & Tarmann, 2012), is a good species: Jordanita (Roccia) mollis ( Grum-Grshimailo, 1893). This opinion is based on the presence of stable differences in the male genitalia and a significant difference in the DNA barcodes. This species is recorded for eastern Russia (Southern Siberia and Far East), China and Korea.
C42 Jordanita (Praviela) anatolica ( Naufock, 1929) and Jordanita (Praviela) christinae Keil, 1998, are treated as two different species in Keil (2014). In Efetov & Tarmann (2012, p. 36)J. anatolica christinae is treated as a subspecies. The authors always had strong doubts that these two taxa are really different species. The reason for these doubts was the well-known variability in the male genitalia of J. anatolica ( Efetov & Can, 2010) where combinations and forms of cornuti could be found in various populations with the characters of those described and figured by Keil ( 1998, p. 113, fig. 1b) for J. christinae. Moreover, specimens with the habitus of J. christinae (reddish wings and body) could also be found as aberrations within other Iranian populations of J. anatolica. In his original description even Keil himself had doubts and described therefore the new taxon only as a subspecies of J. anatolica ( Keil, 1998). However, Keil was secretly always convinced that the two taxa are different species and continued searching for arguments. He visited Iran and the type locality of J. christinae many times. Finally he found both colour forms syntopic in the type locality of J. christinae with a significant difference in the time of flight activity. Specimens with the characters of J. anatolica(green wings and body) were always earlier on the wing in the year than those with the characters of J. christinae. Keil reared both taxa from egg to imago and described their biology ( Keil, 2014, pp. 140-147). In addition to the syntopic occurrence he observed oviposition of females of both taxa on different larval host- plants at the same locality. The larvae are also slightly different in coloration. The latter character was also known by the authors for several years but color variation in larvae of Procridinae are common and also this character did not convince us that both taxa are really good species. Keil (2014, pp. 140-147), in his work on the Zygaenidae of Iran, again summarizes all arguments and publishes figures on the biologies of J. anatolica and J. christinae.
Based on these data but also on our genetic data from our ZYGMO project in BOLD (the genetic distance between J. christinae and J. anatolica is larger than between all other J. anatolica populations that are so far examined) we now accept the specific status of J. christinae. However, specimens with intermediate characters in habitus and genitalia have been found around the type-locality of J. christinae in the Zagros mountains. This is a clear sign that both species are very closely related.
Jordanita (Praviela) rietzschiKeil, 2016, can be only a colour form of J.(P). anatolica because these two “taxa” have no genitalic differences.
Further molecular and biologal investigations are necessary in the subgenus PravielaAlberti, 1954, and it also would be very important to find newer material of J. ( P.) anatolica kruegeri ( Turati, 1930) from North Africa which we here treat as a subspecies to J. anatolica based on its genitalic characters.
C43 In Tarmann (1984, p. 36) the date behind the author of Pyromorpha .Gingla. semifulva (Druce, 1896) is wrongly cited as “Druce, 1884”. This error was discovered by Steve Nanc (New York, USA) in December 2016. It was an error by G. M. Tarmann in 1984 when he mixed Dycladia semifulvaDruce, 1884 (now Cosmosoma semifulva (Druce, 1884), Erebidae, Ctenuchinae) with Lycomorpha semifulva Druce, 1896 (Zygaenidae, Procridinae). It would not make sense to change now also the synonymy between Lycomorpha semifulva Druce, 1896: 332, and Lycomorpha basirei Druce, 1896: 331, just because L. basirei was described one page earlier in the same paper. According to the principle of the first revising author we leave Pyromorpha .Gingla. semifulva ( Druce, 1896) as valid species and L. basirei Druce, 1896 as its synonym.
C44 In Tarmann (1984, p 40)Harrisina mexicana Schaus, 1889, was synonymized with Aglaope coracina Clemens, 1861, due to almost no genitalic differences. More material has now shown that this was wrong and both taxa represent different spercies. H. mexicana is smaller and has longer pectination in the male antenna. The male genitalia are, as in many Harrisina, not significantly different. This species was described from one male from Mexico (Veracruz, Paso de San Juan). Females can only be attached to this species if they are reared and if also males from the same rearing are available. This has not been done so far. Sufficient DNA data are not available so far.
