Abstract
The taxonomy of certain species of the subgenus Limbusa Moore, 1897 of the genus Euthalia Hübner, 1819 from China is updated. Euthalia bellula uedai Yokochi, 2009 stat. rev. is resurrected from the synonym of E. monbeigi Oberthür, 1907 and restored as a valid subspecies of E. bellula Yokochi, 2005. The relationship between E. monbeigi and E. yunnanica Koiwaya, 1996 is discussed. Euthalia tsangpoi H. Huang, 1999 is downgraded to be a subspecies of Euthalia duda Staudinger, 1886, viz. E. duda tsangpoi stat. nov. In addition, the females of Euthalia mingyiae H. Huang, 2002 and E. thawgawa wuzhenjuni H. Huang, 2021 are reported for the first time.
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.
