“…In addition, the 2016 donation of the Texas Lepidoptera Survey collection to the McGuire Center by Ed Knudson and the late Charles Bordelon yielded six more specimens from the Davis Mountains. This new species was confirmed as a “true Oxyptilus” through key characters in Alipanah et al (2010) and is described and distinguished from O. delawaricus . CO1 barcodes from two USNM specimens further support the distinct identity and placement within the genus.…”

“…Of these, Dejongia Gielis, Trichoptilus Walsingham, Megalorhipida Amsel, and Buckleria Tutt can be easily separated from the others by the narrow, apically pointed lobes of the forewing which lack a distinct termen. Following key characters described and illustrated in Alipanah et al (2010), Geina Tutt and Capperia Tutt can be separated from Sphenarches Meyrick and Oxyptilus by the more posterior (as opposed to central) position of a concavity in the hourglass-shaped tergite of the second abdominal segment in males (Figs 27, 29). Finally, Oxyptilus is distinguished from Sphenarches in having a scale brush on the second (middle) segment of the labial palpus which extends ventrally along the first (apical) segment.…”

“…Alipanah et al (2010) concurrently described two new genera ( Apoxyptilus Alipanah et al and Pseudoxyptilus Alipanah et al) for outlying taxa studied which were previously included in Oxyptilus and provided a decisive key to the 19 genera now included in the tribe Oxyptilini.…”

Oxyptilus eleanerae sp. n., is described from New Mexico, Arizona, and Southwest Texas, and compared with the only other Oxyptilus occurring in the Nearctic Region, O. delawaricus Zeller. A redescription is provided for O. delawaricus. Adults and male and female genitalia are illustrated for both species. Key morphological characters, distributions, and relationships within the genus are discussed.

An annotated checklist of moths was compiled for Zambia based on intensive and extensive reviews of the literature on insects of the country and on field surveys undertaken by the study for a period of five years from March 2013 to October 2017 to confirm some of the literature review records documented. The checklist contains 1,816 species of moths, arranged into 907 genera and 35 subspecies. One hundred and fifty of these moth species are endemic in Zambia. During our biodiversity field surveys, we verified the existence in Zambia of 3.07% of moth taxa reported in the literature. Some species of moths recorded to occur in Zambia are of traditional/nutritional value to some local ethnic groupings in the country. In addition to their use in traditional medicinal concoctions with plants to treat human maladies, some moth larvae or caterpillars serve as extra sources of animal protein and are consumed as snacks and/or relish by the local people. About one percent (0.9%) of all moth species recorded to occur in Zambia and 7.59% of species of the family Saturniidae serve as extra sources of animal protein for some tribes in the country. To date, no moth species in the country has been assessed for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. This present checklist will serve as a basis for future governmental decisions on the policy of environmental protection, Red List preparation, and management of natural food security issues in Zambia.
