查看更多>>摘要：Tribes of looper moths (Geometridae: Larentiinae) are reviewed. The tribe Dyspteridini Hulst is reinstated (previously synonymous with the Trichopterygini Warren). A new subtribe, Aplocerina, is separated from the Chesiadini Pierce, and the group Ortholithinae Pierce is dealt with as Scotopterygini Warren, the sister taxon to Xanthorhoini. Morphological traits for 22 of 23 larentiine tribes represented in the Holarctic fauna are listed and illustrated. A taxonomy of the subfamily Larentiinae is proposed and supported, using morphological data based on chemical communication structures and male genitalia. A new combination is presented: Melanthia mandshuricata (Bremer), transferred from Mesoleuca Hübner (Larentiini)

The female of N. latiloba Ssether et Roque is also described and figured and new Neotropical records of N. latiloba, N. strixinorum Saether et Roque and N. tropica Wiedenbrug, Reiss et Fittkau are given. The female of N.fittkaui Cranston is re-examined. New generic diagnosis and description are given for the imagines. Some character states from previous parsimony analyses arecorrected and new analyses performed indicating Nandeva as part of Tanytarsini or as part of the sister group to Tanytarsini.
查看更多>>摘要：Systematic information on the rarely collected Holarctic platypezid genus Seri Kessel & Kessel is reviewed. Two species are included, S. obscuripennis (Oldenberg) from the Palaearctic Region and S. dymka (Kessel) from the Nearctic Region. The two species are diagnosed and the male of S. dymka is described for the first time. New records of S. dymka, previously recorded only from western North America, indicate that the species has a transcontinental distribution. The phylogenetic position and genericstatus of Seri is discussed.
