Abstract

A new erebid, Tabwecala robinsonigen. nov., sp. nov., from the Vanuatu Islands (Espiritu Santo) (West Pacific Ocean) is described. The new species, superficially resembling species of the genera Artena, Achaea or Leistera, shows a peculiar combination of characters which suggested its placement in a new genus. This is provisionally placed in tribe Poaphilini but following a review of the features purporting to show the separation of Ophiusini and Poaphilini, it is shown that morphological rationale supporting the current arrangement of these tribes is still lacking. Noteworthy modifications affect the hindleg of male Tabwecala robinsoni, with greatly shortened and swollen metatibia bearing a dorsal hair-pencil.

瓦努阿图Tabwecala robinsoni gen11 .， sp. nov.及其在“蛇蝇-波蚜”分支中的系统地位(鳞翅目，蛇蝇科)

一种新的烟草，Tabwecala robinsigen。11月11日，从瓦努阿图群岛(圣埃斯皮里图)(西太平洋)描述。这个新种，表面上类似于Artena属、Achaea属或Leistera属的种，表现出一种特殊的特征组合，表明它被置于一个新属中。这被暂时放置在Poaphilini部落，但在回顾了旨在显示Ophiusini和Poaphilini分离的特征之后，表明支持这些部落当前安排的形态学理论仍然缺乏。值得注意的变化影响了雄性Tabwecala robinsoni的后腿，其跖骨大大缩短和肿胀，背部有一个毛笔。
