Abstract
Taxonomic revisions of two genera of the family Megalopygidae - Edebessa Walker, 1856 and Langucys Butler, 1878 are given. Two new species are described in the genus Edebessa (E. cryptobia Volkova, sp. nov. and E. vespera Volkova, sp. nov.), and six new species are described in the genus Langucys (L. reichertae Volkova, sp. nov., L. sulaki Volkova, sp. nov., L. witti Volkova, sp. nov., L. artamonovae Volkova, sp. nov., L. cardinal Volkova, sp. nov., and L. vadimi Volkova, sp. nov.). The diagnoses of the genera and a list of generic autapomorphies are given.
期刊介绍:
SHILAP Revista de lepidopterología is an international journal which has been published by the Sociedad Hispano-Luso-Americana de Lepidopterología since 1973 and uses the persistent digital identifier by ORCID® (https://orcid.org) as a way to ensure proper authorship normalization. It includes empirical and theoretical research on all aspects of Lepidopterology (Systematics, Taxonomy, Phylogeny, Morphology, Bionomics, Ecology, Faunistics and Zoogeography, as well as bibliographical papers, those on the history of Lepidopterology, or book reviews on the topics mentioned) from all over the world with special emphasis on the study of Conservation Biology. Each volume consists of four issues a year (one volume per annum) in March, June, September and December.
