摘要

ABSTRACT.The previously monotypic Papuan genusHeterochoristaDiakonoff, 1952 is revised and twenty‐one species are recognized.NikolaiaDiakonoff, 1953 is synonymized, syn.n. withHeterochorista.The following six species are placed in new combination inHeterochorista: Nikolaia melanopsygmaDiakonoff,N.inumbrataDiakonoff,N.apertaDiakonoff,Isochorista papuanaDiakonoff,I.polyspermaDiakonoff andDicellitis chrysonethaDiakonoff. Thirteen new species are added toHeterochorista: acomatasp.n.,rostratasp.n.,trivialissp.n.,ornatasp.n.,priscasp.n.,punctulatasp.n.,rufulimaculatasp.n.,classeyianasp.n.,spinosasp.n.,signatasp.n.,fulgenssp.n.,nitidasp.n. andaurasp.n. A checklist and a key to species are provided, and adults and male and female genitalia are described and illustrated. The phylogeny ofHeterochoristais outlined on the basis of a cladistic character analysis and the genus is referred to the base of the Sparganothini. The apomorphies characterizing this tribe are reviewed with regard to their phylogenetic significance and the relationship between Sparganothini, Archipini and Atterini is briefly discusse
