Abstract
The taxonomy of Siculodes Guenée, 1858 and Aziba Walker, 1865 gen. rev., is revised. A new taxonomic arrangement is proposed for these genera reflecting morphological evidence. Siculodes comprises six valid taxa: S. aurorula Guenée, 1858 (type species), S. avicula Guenée, 1877, S. eurymenana (Walker, 1865), S. satellifera (Gaede, 1936), S. straminula Pagenstecher, 1892, and S. subchalybaea (Walker, 1865) stat. rev.; while Aziba Walker, 1865 gen. rev., since a long time considered a junior synonym of Siculodes is here revalidated and comprises six valid taxa: A. falcata (C. Felder & Rogenhofer, 1875) comb. rev., A. mediula (Guenée, 1877) comb. nov., A. roseobrunneata (Heppner & Thiele, 2017) comb. nov., A. substrigata Warren, 1900 comb. rev., A. transversa Walker, 1865 comb. rev. (type species), and A. vehemensaria (H. Edwards, 1884) stat. rev. et comb. nov. Siculodes serpula Guenée, 1877 syn. reinst. and Risama falcata matusi Köhler, 1940 syn. nov. are considered junior synonymies of A. falcata comb. rev. Lectotypes are designated to Siculodes aurorula Guenée, 1858, Siculodes straminula Pagenstecher, 1892, Aziba falcata (C. Felder & Rogenhofer, 1875), and Risama falcata matusi Köhler, 1940. In addition, all species are redescribed and figured, habitats of some species are reported, and geographical distribution maps are provided for all species.
期刊介绍:
Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
