Introduction The taxa treated in this paper are mostly from poorly known parts of the Oriental region, e. g., Brunei, Sabah, Tenasserim, and Thailand, with fewer from Nepal and India, and fewer still from the Australian region; one is from the Salomon Islands. The last, plus R. tarica Razowski, sp. n. and R. impetigo Razowski, sp. n. from New Guinea, confirm a wide distribution of Reptilisocia Diakonoff which was known previously from India and Indonesia (reference). Asterolepis Razowski formerly was 315 315-335 Descriptions of new Tor 11/9/12 10:46 Página 316 J. RAZOWSKI known exclusively from the Australian region (reference), but two species described herein from Brunei and Sabah extend its area of distribution to the Oriental region. Most of the new species are in the two widespread genera Acleris Hübner and Spatalistis Meyrick, both now recorded from the Oriental region. The most interesting new taxon is Shafferograptis Tuck & Razowski, gen. n., which belongs to the primitive Tortricini represented mostly in the Afrotropical region; it has facies most similar to those of the African Panegyra Diakonoff. Material The material examined is housed in the Natural History Museum, London. Systematic part Shafferograptis Tuck & Razowski, sp. n. Type-species: Shafferograptis michaeli Tuck & Razowski, sp. n. Description: Facies similar to Panegyra Diakonoff, 1960. Forewing with cream postmedian interfascia, lacking red markings. Venation no examined. Male genitalia: Tegumen long with slender pedunculi; uncus absent; socius broad basally with slender terminal part; tuba analis simple with weak subscaphium; vinculum small, slender; valva slender postbasally, expanding beyond middle, tapering in distal fourth; costa uniform, without specialized setae; large dorso-basal lobe and small basal cavity developed; sacculus simple; transtilla membranous; juxta moderate, extending dorsally; aedeagus fairly long, slender; coecum penis broad, short; one short, capitate cornutus in vesica. Female not known. Biology: Moth collected in July at an altitude of 9-70 m in lowland dipterocarp forest. Distribution: W Malaysia and Brunei. Diagnosis: A monotypical genus externally resembling the Afrotropical Panegyra Diakonoff, 1960 from which Shafferograptis differs in having pale postmedian rather than subterminal interfascia, a membranous transtilla, a simple costa of the valva lacking specialized setae, a large proximal lobe at the base of the valva, and the presence of a basal cavity. Etymology: The name is a patronym in memory of our late colleague Mr. Michael Shaffer, a former curator at the Natural History Museum, London, who sadly passed away on 23 March 2009. Shafferograptis michaeli Tuck & Razowski, sp. n. (Fig. 35) Holotype male: “Brunei: 300 ft, Rampayoh R.[iver] Lowland dipterocarp forest, 11-19-III-1989”; GS 26168. Paratype male: W. Malaysia: 70 m, Selangor, Bangi, lowland dipt.[erocarp] for.[est], 25-26- VII-1991; GS 32690. Description: Wingspan 11 mm. Head and collar yellow cream. Forewing slightly expanding terminad; costa almost straight; termen oblique, hardly sinuate. Costa and postmedian interfascia yellow cream, whiter along grey basal and postmedian blotch; costa, costal third of termen, and median interfascia dotted brown-black. Cilia concolorous with ground colour. Hindwing brownish grey; cilia similar. Male genitalia (Figs. 1-2) as described for the genus. Biology as described for the genus. Diagnosis: S. michaeli Tuck & Razowski, sp. n., is similar to the African Panegyra flavicostana (Walsingham, 1891) described from Gambia, but michaeli differs from it in the characters cited in the diagnosis of this genus. Etymology: The specific epithet is devoted to Michael Shaffer. 316 SHILAP Revta. lepid., 40 (159), septiembre 2012 315-335 Descriptions of new Tor 11/9/12 10:46 Página 317 DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW TORTRICINI FROM THE ORIENTAL AND AUSTRALIAN REGIONS Merguinia Razowski, gen. n. Type-species: Merguinia merguina Razowski, sp. n. Description: Venation not examined. Male genitalia: Tegumen short, broad, weakly sclerotized; gnathos absent; socius broad, terminal, sparsely hairy; vinculum distinctly sclerotized, broad ventrally; valva broad basally, strongly tapering posteriorly, with costa developed; fold of disc reduced to small hairy postbasal lobe; sacculus well sclerotized, slightly convex postbasally, strongly tapering terminad with long free termination with apical process; elongate weakly sclerotized lobe extending from posterior part of costa; transtilla membranous; juxta emarginate dorsally; aedeagus large with long coecum penis and short caulis; cornutus a spine with elongate base. Female not known. Biology and distribution. Moth collected in Tenasserim, without dates of collection. Diagnosis: In facies the type species resembles Brachiolia Razowski, 1964 and Cnesteboda Razowski, 1990. The male genitalia are simplified, dissimilar from any known species of the subfamily, with the aeadeagus and socius somewhat resembling those of some Cochyliini, but with other genital characters typical of some Tortricini (e.g., Brachiolia). Etymology: The name refers to the type locality of the type species. Merguinia merguinea Razowski, sp. n. (Fig. 36) Holotype male: “Mergui, Tenasserim, Doherty 1888, 40372”; GS 21374. Description: Wing span 9.5 mm. Head and thorax cream brown; labial palpus slender, much creamer. Forewing not expanding terminad; costa somewhat convex; apex rounded; median part of termen straight, not oblique. Ground colour yellowish brown sprinkled brown and grey, in dorsoterminal area distinctly suffused grey with black suffusions; refractive markings weak. Markings in costal and terminal area brown, subterminal fascia and dorsal half of median fascia blackish. Cilia paler than ground colour, more yellow, with tornal part brown. Hindwing dark brown, cilia paler. Male genitalia (Figs. 3-4) as described for the genus. Diagnosis: M. merguinea is somewhat similar to B. egenella (Walker, 1864) described from Ceylon and B. amblopis (Meyrick, 1911) from Aldabra, but in merguinea the uncus and brachiola are reduced. Etymology: The specific epithet refers to the type locality. Spatalistis alleni Razowski,

Reassessment of forewing pattern elements in Tortricidae (Lepidop- tera). Acta zoologica cracoviensia, 46(3): 269-275. Abstract. Forewing pattern elements of moths in the family Tortricidae are discussed and characterized. An historical review of the terminology is provided. A new system of nam- ing pattern elements is proposed. Key words. Lepidoptera, Tortricidae, forewing pattern, analysis, terminology. Józef RAZOWSKI, Institute of Systematics and Evolution of Animals, Polish Academy of Sciences, S³awkowska 17, 31-016 Kraków, Poland. E-mail: razowski.isez.pan.krakow.pl I. INTRODUCTION Early tortricid workers such as HAWORTH (1811), HERRICH-SCHHÄFFER (1856), and others pre- sented the first terminology for forewing pattern elements in their descriptions of new species. Nearly a century later, SÜFFERT (1929) provided a more eclectic discussion of pattern elements for Lepidoptera in general. In recent decades, the common and repeated use of specific terms in de- scriptions and illustrations by FALKOVITSH (1966), DANILEVSKY and KUZNETZOV (1968), and oth- ers reinforced these terms in Tortricidae. BRADLEY et al. (1973) summarized and commented on all the English terms used to describe forewing pattern elements. DANILEVSKY and KUZNETZOV (1968) and KUZNETZOV (1978) analyzed tortricid pattern elements, primarily Olethreutinae, dem- onstrating the taxonomic significance of the costal strigulae in that subfamily. For practical pur- poses they numbered the strigulae from the forewing apex to the base, where the strigulae often become indistinct. KUZNETZOV (1978) named the following forewing elements in Tortricinae: ba- sal fascia, subterminal fascia, outer fascia (comprised of subapical blotch and outer blotch), apical spot, and marginal line situated in the marginal fascia (a component of the ground colour).

In spite of this, there does not exist a survey of its fauna — except a single contribution, by Lord Walsingham, in Moore's "Lepidoptera of Ceylon", already almost a hundred years old, and a number of small papers and stray descriptions of new species, in various journals. The authors of these papers were Walker, Zeller, Lord Walsingham and a few other classics — until, starting with 1905, a flood of new descriptions 4 ZOOLOGISCHE VERHANDELINGEN I93 (1982) and records from India and Ceylon appeared, all by the hand of Edward Meyrick. He was almost the single specialist of these faunas, until his death in 1938. To this great Lepidopterist we chiefly owe our knowledge of all groups of Microlepidoptera of Sri Lanka. After his death this information stopped abruptly. In the later years great changes have taken place in the tropical countries. We are now facing, alas, the disastrously quick destruction of natural bio- topes, especially by the reckless liquidation of the tropical forests.

    RESEARCH Scientific Names of Pest Species in Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) Frequently Cited Erroneously in the Entomological Literature John W. Brown Abstract. The scientific names of several pest species in the moth meate the literature. For example, the subfamilial designation for family Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) frequently are cited erroneously in Olethreutinae (rather than Olethreutidae) was slow to be accepted contemporary entomological literature. Most misuse stems from the for many years following Obraztsov’s (1959) treatment of the group. fact that many proposed name changes appear in systematic treat- They even appear at both taxonomic levels (i.e., Olethreutinae and ments that are not seen by most members of the general entomologi- Olethreutidae) in different papers in the same issue of the Canadian cal community.

E-mail:[email protected] I.INTRODUCTION The number of genera of Tortricidae has increased dramatically over last 50 years; by 2007 there were over 1630 described genera, including synonyms. Many of the older de- scriptions are scattered throughout the literature, and because there are few larger synthetic treatments of the tortricids for most major biogeographic regions, this large number of taxa complicates considerably the work of taxonomists on the faunas of poorly known regions of the planet. In addition, characters that define many of the genera are not clearly articu- lated. The distribution of many genera is still insufficiently known, and this shortcoming frequently results in unexpected findings, e.g., the discovery of Afrotropical genera in the Neotropics. These types of discoveries may cause confusion for specialists that focus on thefaunaofasinglegeographicregion. The literature abounds with re-descriptions and diagnoses of tortricid genera, but many are rather short, frequently lacking comparisons with similar or related taxa.

Ting Departmentof Botany,University of California, Riverside,California 92521 KEYWORDS: tolerance, defoliation, plant resistance,photosynthesis, resource allocation INTRODUCTION Plant compensationfor arthropod damageis a general occurrence of consid- erable importancein both natural and agricultural systems. In natural systems, plant species that can tolerate or compensate(e.g. recover equivalent yield or fitness) for herbivore feeding have obvious selective advantagesthat lead by Dr. John Trumble on 02/28/05. For personal use only. to genotype maintenance. Scientists publishing in this area often cite an optimal strategy for enhancingfitness (90, 108). In agricultural crops, reports of plant compensationmostly are concerned with yields rather than fitness (164). However,variation in compensatoryresponse also affects sampling Annu. Rev.
