A review of the New World Chlidanotini (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae)

Abstract

The New World taxa of the pantropical Chlidanotinae tribe Chlidanotini (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) are reviewed. Twenty seven species and two subspecies are described as new: Auratonota auriginea, A. badiaurea, A. clasmata, A. exoptata and A. tessellata (Brazil); A. paidosocia and A. spinivalva cubana (Cuba); A. cataponera, A. flora, A. foederata, A. monochroma, A. moronana, A. nugax, A. petalocrossa maldonada, A. splendida, A. stigmosa and A. virgata (Ecuador); A. effera, A. oxytenia, A. serotina and A. spinivalva spinivalva (Mexico); A. magnifica (Venezuela); Heppnerographa brasiliana and H. lapilla (Brazil); H. ardea, H. carchiana and H. ecualorica (Ecuador). Three new combinations are also established: Auratonota hyacinthina (Meyrick, 1911), A. multifurcata (Meyrick, 1932), and Heppnerographa tricesimana (Zeller, 1877)

New species of Hynhamia Razowski and other genera close to Toreulia Razowski & Becker (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

“…Hynhamia was erected in the Chlidanotini as a monotypic genus (RAZOWSKI 1987). Then BROWN (1990) described two further species in this genus: he transferred H. cornutia to Netechma RAZOWSKI, 1992 but included Eulia sciodryas MEYRICK, 1926 in it.…”

A New Afrotropical Chlidanotini Species (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) Inhabiting Galls of White Milkwood,Sideroxylon inerme, in South Africa

“…Species in the Chlidanotini are probably most abundant in the Neotopics, but they are also present in the Oriental, Australian and Afrotropical regions. Razowski & Becker (1999) revised the Neotropical fauna, treating 58 species. Razowski (1995) catalogued the Afrotropical Chlidanotini, listing Trymalitis scalifera Meyrick, 1912 as the only Afrotropical species.…”
