Abstract

Agonopterix lacteella (Caradja, 1920) was described on the basis of a single female specimen collected at Kasakewitsch, Russian Far East. Later on, A. pallidior (Stringer, 1930) was described, based on 6 specimens from Japan. Both descriptions where based only on the external appearance and published without illustrations, making subsequent accurate identification of both these species difficult. A subsequent comparison of A. lacteella holotype with the type series of A. pallidior revealed a perfect match. However, since the holotype of A. pallidior is a male whilst A. lacteella’s holotype is a female, a revision based on a direct comparison of the genitalia features of these two types is not possible. Hence, the female genitalia of A. lacteella holotype was compared with the genitalia of a female specimen identified as A. pallidior. A perfect match was found, which leaves no doubt that both taxa are conspecific. Details and consequences of this result for the systematic position of these two taxa, as well as for their relationship with other similar, cognate species are presented. In addition, new data regarding the distribution and biology of A. lacteella are presented.

对乳甲翅虫(鳞翅目:扁翅虫科)的修订，并将A. pallidior Stringer, 1930作为初级同义词

根据在俄罗斯远东地区Kasakewitsch采集的单一雌性标本，描述了卡拉贾(Caradja, 1920)的lacteella Agonopterix。后来，根据日本的6个标本，描述了A. pallidior (Stringer, 1930)。这两种描述都只基于外观，没有插图，使得随后准确识别这两种物种变得困难。随后将乳齿拟虫的全型与苍白拟虫的型系列进行比较，发现两者完全匹配。然而，由于白斑拟虫的完整型是雄性，而乳斑拟虫的完整型是雌性，因此不可能根据这两种类型的生殖器特征进行直接比较。因此，我们将全型乳拟虫的雌性生殖器与鉴定为白斑拟虫的雌性生殖器进行了比较。发现了一个完全匹配的物种，毫无疑问这两个分类群是同种的。这一结果的细节和结果对这两个分类群的系统位置，以及它们与其他类似的，同源物种的关系提出了。此外，还介绍了有关乳杆菌分布和生物学的新资料。

期刊介绍： Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle "Grigore Antipa" (The Journal of "Grigore Antipa" National Museum of Natural History) is an international, open access, peer-reviewed journal devoted to zoological research that is published biannually by the "Grigore Antipa" National Museum of Natural History from Bucharest (Romania). It publishes original research or review articles dealing with all aspects of general zoology (taxonomy, systematics, evolutionism, faunistics, zoogeography, palaeozoology, animal ecology, invasive species of animals, parasitism, biodiversity conservation). Also, some book reviews, anniversaries and obituaries of some personalities of science world can be accepted to be published in this journal. In the present, the only language accepted for this journal is English. The scope of the journal is to publish, disseminate and provide open access to the results of the original studies made in different zoological fields, in Romania and worldwide. Every submitted manuscript is subject to peer-review, being reviewed by at least two peers qualified to evaluate it. Distinguished authorities form the international advisory board which guarantees the high scientific profile of the journal.
