Abstract
ABSTRACT Taxonomic revision of the genus Cueta Navás from Pakistan is presented by redescribing four of the five species, i.e., C. facile, C. infensa, and C. minervae in this country. Cueta omana syn. nov. is proposed as a junior synonym of Cueta thaliae, a poorly known species, only documented from Afghanistan and Pakistan. Cueta infensa is reported as a new record for Pakistan. The holotype photographs of Cueta infensa and Cueta omana are also presented. Distributional maps, a comprehensive list of synonyms, diagnostic characters for each studied species, and a key to species based on adult characters are provided.
期刊介绍:
Oriental Insects is an international, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the publication of original research articles and reviews on the taxonomy, ecology, biodiversity and evolution of insects and other land arthropods of the Old World and Australia. Manuscripts referring to Africa, Australia and Oceania are highly welcomed. Research papers covering the study of behaviour, conservation, forensic and medical entomology, urban entomology and pest control are encouraged, provided that the research has relevance to Old World or Australian entomofauna. Precedence will be given to more general manuscripts (e.g. revisions of higher taxa, papers with combined methodologies or referring to larger geographic units). Descriptive manuscripts should refer to more than a single species and contain more general results or discussion (e.g. determination keys, biological or ecological data etc.). Laboratory works without zoogeographic or taxonomic reference to the scope of the journal will not be accepted.
