Abstract

Two species of Lema (Quasilema), L. apicalis Lacordaire, 1845 and L. reticulosa Clark, 1866 are compared and found to be identical based on morphology and behaviour, although they exhibit different colour patterns (Lema (subgenus Quasilema) apicalis Lacordaire, 1845 = Lema (Quasilema) reticulosa Clark, 1866 new synonym). These morphs are sympatric, with distribution in southern Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, and feed and oviposit on the same host plant (Vassobia breviflora (Sendtn.) Hunz (Solanaceae)).

解决了一个古老的难题:两个同域物种Lema apicalis和L. reticulosa(鞘翅目，金莺科，凤尾蝇科)是一个单一物种的形态吗?

比较了两种Lema (Quasilema)， L. apicalis Lacordaire, 1845和L. reticulosa Clark, 1866，发现它们在形态和行为上是相同的，尽管它们表现出不同的颜色图案(Lema (Quasilema亚属)apicalis Lacordaire, 1845 = Lema (Quasilema) reticulosa Clark, 1866新义)。这些变种是同域分布的，分布在巴西南部、阿根廷、巴拉圭和乌拉圭，并以同一寄主植物(短花莲)为食和产卵。Hunz(茄科))。

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.
