Abstract

Within Iran, the Zagros Mountains show high biodiversity, with a wealth of endemic species. One of these is the geometrid moth Somatina wiltshirei Prout, 1938, originally described from Iran and Iraq. In the present study, one mitochondrial and up to nine protein-coding nuclear gene regions were used along with a comparative morphological examination to investigate the systematic position of this species. The results support the reclassification of this species as Problepsis wiltshireicomb. nov. Since the original species description is superficial, we provide a re-description supported by rich illustrations of morphological characters and distribution. In addition, Problepsis wiltshireicomb. nov. is reported as a new species for the fauna of Turkey. The importance of the habitat for the conservation of this species is discussed.

在伊朗境内，扎格罗斯山脉显示出高度的生物多样性，拥有丰富的特有物种。其中之一是1938年发现的几何蛾Somatina wiltshirei Prout，最初发现于伊朗和伊拉克。在本研究中，利用一个线粒体和多达九个蛋白质编码核基因区域，并结合比较形态学检查来研究该物种的系统位置。研究结果支持将该物种重新分类为褐刺藓(Problepsis wiltshireicomb)。11 .由于原始的物种描述是肤浅的，我们提供了丰富的形态特征和分布插图支持的重新描述。此外，问题将会出现。11 .据报道为土耳其动物群的一新种。讨论了生境对该物种保护的重要性。

期刊介绍： Nota Lepidopterologica is the scientific, peer-reviewed journal of the Societas Europaea Lepidopterologica (SEL). It publishes original contributions to the study of mainly but not exclusively Palaearctic Lepidoptera, especially on taxonomy, morphology/anatomy, phylogenetics, biogeography, ecology, behaviour, and conservation, but also on any other aspects of lepidopterology. All articles are published in English, with the possibility of having the summary written in other languages. All submitted manuscripts are subject to peer-review by the leading specialists for the respective topic. The journal is published in open access high-resolution PDF, semantically enriched HTML and machine-readable XML versions. All papers can be freely copied, downloaded, printed and distributed at no charge. Authors and readers are thus encouraged to post the pdf files of published papers on homepages or elsewhere to expedite distribution.
