Abstract

Lathrotelinae is a recently rehabilitated subfamily of moths within Crambidae. They can be recognized by the presence of costal median spots on the forewing, the absence of chaetosemata and the loss of the gnathos in the male genitalia. With the analysis of morphological characters and DNA barcodes, eight species authored by Müller, Hayden & Léger are described as new from the Philippines: Sufetula elfridea sp. nov., Sufetula falcata sp. nov., Sufetula fulgurata sp. nov., Sufetula gigantea sp. nov., Sufetula minuta sp. nov., Sufetula monticola sp. nov., Sufetula oculalis sp. nov. and Sufetula serrata sp. nov. New combinations are provided for Sufetula metallias Meyrick, 1897 comb. nov., Sufetula paula West, 1931 comb. nov. and Diplopseustis brunnealis Hampson, 1917 comb. nov. Sufetula choreutalis (Snellen 1880), Sufetula metallias comb. nov. and Sufetula polystrialis Hampson, 1912 are newly recorded for the Philippines. The molecular results reveal cryptic diversity correlated with geographical or elevational distribution in four of the species.

利用形态学和DNA条形码技术对菲律宾卷翅蝗科（鳞翅目：卷翅蝗科）的物种多样性进行了评估

壶蛾科是壶蛾科中最近恢复的一个蛾亚科。它们可以通过前翼的肋中间点的存在，毛状毛的缺失和男性生殖器上的牙噬体的缺失来识别。通过形态特征和DNA条形码分析，将由m. ller， Hayden和lsamger所著的8个菲律宾新种描述为Sufetula elfridea sp. nov., Sufetula falcata sp. nov., Sufetula fulgurata sp. nov., Sufetula gigantea sp. nov., Sufetula minuta sp. nov., Sufetula monticola sp. nov., Sufetula oculalis sp. nov.和Sufetula serrata sp. nov.。11月，Sufetula paula West， 1931梳子。11 .和布伦尼斯·汉普森，1917。11 .舞蹈Sufetula choreutalis (Snellen 1880)，梳子Sufetula metallia。十一月和Sufetula polystrialis Hampson， 1912年是菲律宾的新记录。分子分析结果表明，四种植物的隐多样性与地理或海拔分布有关。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity (previous title was Journal of Korean Nature) is an official journal of National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA). The scope of journal is wide and multidisciplinary that publishes original research papers, review articles, as well as conceptual, technical and methodological papers on all aspects of biological diversity-its description, analysis and conservation, and its application by humankind. This wide and multidisciplinary journal aims to provide both scientists and practitioners in conservation theory, policy and management with comprehensive and applicable information. However, papers should not be submitted that deal with microorganisms, except in invited paper. Articles that are focused on the social and economical aspects of biodiversity will be normally not accepted.
