Abstract
.
The description of a new fossil taxon Preheterobathmia grimaldiigen. nov. et sp. nov. is provided from Myanmar amber. The new taxon is tentatively assigned to the extant family Heterobathmiidae based on corresponding architecture of the female genitalia. It displays an interesting mixture of plesiomorphies and apomorphies, which are discussed in a comparison between Preheterobathmiagen. nov. and Heterobathmia. The fossil provides new information to the phylogeny and historical biogeography of ancestral Lepidoptera.
期刊介绍:
Nota Lepidopterologica is the scientific, peer-reviewed journal of the Societas Europaea Lepidopterologica (SEL). It publishes original contributions to the study of mainly but not exclusively Palaearctic Lepidoptera, especially on taxonomy, morphology/anatomy, phylogenetics, biogeography, ecology, behaviour, and conservation, but also on any other aspects of lepidopterology.
All articles are published in English, with the possibility of having the summary written in other languages. All submitted manuscripts are subject to peer-review by the leading specialists for the respective topic. The journal is published in open access high-resolution PDF, semantically enriched HTML and machine-readable XML versions.
All papers can be freely copied, downloaded, printed and distributed at no charge. Authors and readers are thus encouraged to post the pdf files of published papers on homepages or elsewhere to expedite distribution. Publication is free for the SEL members and there is no charge for color.
