Abstract

A new species of Feltia Walker, 1856, Feltia pala Dias, Specht & San Blas sp. nov., is described from the southern Brazilian highlands. The new species is compared with Feltia gypaetina (Guenée, 1852), a neglected similar species which occurs in lowland Brazil and Argentina, and was recently transferred from Agrotis Ochsenheimer, 1816. Feltia gypaetina is redescribed, its taxonomy reviewed. Agrotis pseudoplecta Snellen, 1879 is removed from junior subjective synonymy with Agrotis gypaetina Guenée, 1852 and recognized provisionally as a junior subjective synonym of Noctua lutescens Blanchard, 1852 (syn. nov.). Sampling in Brazil and Argentina indicates that both species go through prepupal aestivation and are probably univoltine, with F. pala sp. nov. peaking in abundance in May-June and F. gypaetina in April-May. The species are thoroughly illustrated with photographs of males, females and structures of the head, thorax and abdomen; line drawings of taxonomically relevant structures, such as male and female genitalia, and a distribution map are also provided.

巴西南部高地夜蛾属一新种（1856年），并对其重新描述（鳞翅目：夜蛾科：夜蛾科）。

Feltia Walker属一新种，1856年，Feltia pala Dias, Specht & San Blas sp. nov.，描述自巴西南部高地。该新种与Feltia gypaetina （guen， 1852年）进行了比较，Feltia gypaetina是一种被忽视的类似物种，分布在巴西和阿根廷的低地，最近从Agrotis Ochsenheimer， 1816年转移过来。本文重新描述了石竹属植物，并对其分类学进行了评述。1879年的Agrotis pseudoplecta Snellen从1852年的Agrotis gypaetina guen e的初级主观同义词中删除，并暂时被认为是1852年的Noctua lutescens Blanchard的初级主观同义词（同义11月）。在巴西和阿根廷的采样表明，这两个物种都经历了蛹前的冬眠，并且可能是单株的，其中11月的pala sp.在5 - 6月达到高峰，而F. gypaetina在4 - 5月达到高峰。该物种通过雄性、雌性和头部、胸部和腹部结构的照片进行了全面的说明；还提供了分类学上相关结构（如男性和女性生殖器）的线条图和分布图。

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.
