Studies on Crambidae X—Juxtabotys gen. nov., a new genus in the Odontiinae with the description of two new species (Lepidoptera, Pyraloidea, Crambidae).


Abstract :

A new genus Juxtabotys gen. nov. is erected for two new species: J. viriditas sp. nov. and J. australis sp. nov. The genus is placed in the Odontiinae, based on the presence of modifications on the VIIIth abdominal sternite in male specimens. The systematic position within the Odontiinae remains unclear.

Title :

Note on Cupidesthes robusta Aurivillius, 1895 (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae: Lycaenesthini).


Abstract :

Two distinct species have been previously confused under the name Cupidesthes robusta Aurivillius, 1895. The newly recognised species is described here as C. ultramarina sp. nov., occurring from central Cameroon to northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. In contrast, C. robusta has only been observed from western Cameroon to Liberia, where a recently collected male specimen has enabled the description of a new subspecies, C. robusta marginata ssp. nov., endemic to West Africa.

Résumé:       Deux espèces distinctes ont été jusqu’à présent confondues sous le nom de Cupidesthes robusta Aurivillius, 1895. La nouvelle espèce, qui est décrite ici sous le nom de C. ultramarina sp. nov., est présente du centre du Cameroun au nord-est de la République démocratique du Congo. Par contre, C. robusta n’a été observé que de l'ouest du Cameroun au Liberia, où un mâle récemment capturé a permis la description d'une nouvelle sous-espèce, C. robusta marginata ssp. nov., endémique d’Afrique occidentale.
