Abstract

Eretmocera hafeetensissp. nov., a moth in the family Scythrididae, is described and illustrated based on the examination of three male and 13 female specimens collected at the foot of Jebel Hafeet, an isolated 1,140 metres-high massif just south of Al Ain, after which the new species is named. The new species is distinct from congeners in details of its male and female genitalia and is also readily separated in the field from other Eretmocera species. The new addition brings the number of confirmed species in this genus represented in the UAE to three. The discovery of this species at Ain Al Waal, Jebel Hafeet highlights the conservation importance of this and similar nearby locations, which are beginning to reveal unique species among its already species-rich fauna at a time of huge human encroachment into the area.

阿联酋Eretmosera hafeetensis sp.nov.记述（鳞翅目，鳞翅目）

Eretmocera hafeetensissp。十一月，一种飞蛾科的飞蛾，根据对在Jebel Hafeet山脚采集的3只雄性和13只雌性标本的检查进行了描述和说明，Jebel Hafeet是位于Al Ain南部的一个1140米高的孤立的山体，因此这个新物种被命名。新种在雄性和雌性生殖器的细节上与同类不同，并且在野外也很容易与其他Eretmocera物种区分开来。新增加的物种使阿联酋所代表的这一属的确认物种数量达到三种。在Jebel Hafeet的Ain Al Waal发现的这一物种凸显了该地区和附近类似地区保护的重要性，在人类大规模入侵该地区的情况下，这些地区开始在物种丰富的动物群中发现独特的物种。
