Hyblaea behouneki sp. n. from West Papua (Indonesia) (Lepidoptera, Hyblaeidae) - Studies of Hyblaeidae 3

摘要

A new species of the genus Hyblaea Fabricius, 1793 from West Papua (Indonesia) is described. Hyblaea behouneki sp. n. differs phenotypically clearly from all other known Hyblaea species. It belongs to the Hyblaea puera group of species which is constituted by moths with similar superficial appearance which were formerly, and partly up to now, incorrectly synonymized with Hyblaea puera Cramer, 1777. The holotype of the new species, its genitalia and a map showing the situation of the type locality are figured. Furthermore, the family group name Hyblaeidae is attributed to another author (Guenee 1852) as currently accepted.
