“…The uncus in Luceria is generally vestigial, being lost completely in Micronoctuini. The cucullus of the valve in Luceria is short, broad and extends beyond a complex transverse array of processes that may prove to be homologous (Holloway, 2011) with the bizarre diversity of processes seen in Micronoctuini (Fibiger, 2007).…”

“…However, both our results and those of Zahiri et al (2011) firmly locate it within the subfamily Hypenodinae of Erebidae, where, despite its many unique features, the group cannot be ranked with a status higher than tribe. Consequently, the subfamilies and tribes recognized by Fibiger (2007, 2008, 2010) have to be downgraded, with the subfamilies taking the status of subtribes. Micronoctuini contain over 300 Old World species, mostly in the tropics and subtropics, but extending to the Mediterranean, to temperate latitudes in eastern Asia and throughout the Indo‐Australian area to Australia and Vanuatu (Fibiger, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011).…”

As a step towards understanding the higher‐level phylogeny and evolutionary affinities of quadrifid noctuoid moths, we have undertaken the first large‐scale molecular phylogenetic analysis of the moth family Erebidae, including almost all subfamilies, as well as most tribes and subtribes. DNA sequence data for one mitochondrial gene (COI) and seven nuclear genes (EF‐1α, wingless, RpS5, IDH, MDH, GAPDH and CAD) were analysed for a total of 237 taxa, principally type genera of higher taxa. Data matrices (6407 bp in total) were analysed by parsimony with equal weighting and model‐based evolutionary methods (maximum likelihood), which revealed a well‐resolved skeleton phylogenetic hypothesis with 18 major lineages, which we treat here as subfamilies of Erebidae. We thus present a new phylogeny for Erebidae consisting of 18 moderate to strongly supported subfamilies: Scoliopteryginae, Rivulinae, Anobinae, Hypeninae, Lymantriinae, Pangraptinae, Herminiinae, Aganainae, Arctiinae, Calpinae, Hypocalinae, Eulepidotinae, Toxocampinae, Tinoliinae, Scolecocampinae, Hypenodinae, Boletobiinae and Erebinae. Where possible, each monophyletic lineage is diagnosed by autapomorphic morphological character states, and within each subfamily, monophyletic tribes and subtribes can be circumscribed, most of which can also be diagnosed by morphological apomorphies. All additional taxa sampled fell within one of the four previously recognized quadrifid families (mostly into Erebidae), which are now found to include two unusual monobasic taxa from New Guinea: Cocytiinae (now in Erebidae: Erebinae) and Eucocytiinae (now in Noctuidae: Pantheinae).

“…to NPK). While it may come as no surprise if the Micronoctua group will prove to be quite subordinate noctuids, this does not detract from the excitement of the discovery of the taxon, which comprises few described and hundreds of undescribed species, many discovered in unsorted museum accessions of both micro-and macromoths (Fibiger 2007).…”

The currently recognized robust support for the monophyly of the Lepidoptera (and the superorder Amphiesmenoptera comprising Lepidoptera + Trichoptera) is outlined, and the phylogeny of the principal lineages within the order is reviewed succinctly. The state of the taxonomic inventory of Lepidoptera is discussed separately for ‘micro-moths’, ‘macro-moths’ and butterflies, three assemblages on which work has followed historically somewhat different paths. While currently there are about 160,000 described species of Lepidoptera, the total number of extant species is estimated to be around half a million. On average, just over one thousand new species of Lepidoptera have been described annually in recent years. Allowing for the new synonyms simultaneously established, the net increase in species numbers still exceeds 800/year. Most of the additions are foreseeable in the micro-moth grade, but even for butterflies ca 100 species are added annually. Examples of particularly interesting new high-rank taxa that have been described (or whose significance has become realized) since the middle of the 20th century include the non-glossatan lineages represented by Agathiphaga and Heterobathmia and the heteroneuran families Andesianidae, Palaephatidae, Hedylidae and Micronoctuidae. Some thoughts on how present and future systematic lepidopterology might be prioritised are presented.

“…The genus Parens Fibiger, 2011 belongs to the tribe Micronoctuini , subfamily Hypenodinae of the family Erebidae . Early authors considered Parens as a member of the family Micronoctuidae based the simple male genitalia without a uncus and the two-veined hindwing ( Kononenko and Han 2007 ; Fibiger and Kononenko 2008 ; Fibiger et al 2011 ; Fibiger 2011 ). More recently, Zahiri et al (2012) proposed a new taxonomy of the Erebidae based on molecular phylogenetics.…”

Description of a new species of Parens Fibiger, 2011 (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Hypenodinae) from Korea

The genus Parens comprises small moths, with a wingspan of 9–13 mm, belonging to the family Erebidae. Until now, only four species have been described worldwide. In Korea, only one species, P. occi (Fibiger & Kononenko, 2008) has been known to date. In this study, a new species from Korea, P. fibigerina Lee & Byun, sp. nov., is described. As a result, two Parens species are now known from Korea. Figures of adults, male and female genitalia, and a key to the species of Parens in Korea are provided.
