ZooKeys 976: 147–158. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.976.56402 Abstract The genus Peucela Ragonot, 1891 from China is revised. Three species are described as new to science, P. acutativalva sp. nov., P. baishanzuensis sp. nov., and P. nigra sp. nov. In addition, P. olivalis comb. nov. is newly combined. Photographs of adults, and male and female genitalia are provided. A key to the species of Peucela in China is also provided. Keywords key, morphology, Pyralinae, Pyraloidea Introduction The genus Peucela Ragonot, 1891 (Pyralidae, Pyralinae) was described with Pyralis pallivittata Moore, 1888 from India as the type species. Warren (1896) described P. fu- mosalis and P. rubrifuscalis from India. Later, the same author, Warren (1897) described P. zonalis from South Africa. Viette (1951) and Marion (1955) described P. bourgini and P. ignealis from Madagascar, respectively. Leraut (2010) established the new ge- nus Goateria Leraut, 2010 and transferred P. -

It was evaluated and compared with individual species and compared same in each study area. The samples were collected on both the rainy and summer from five sites as the selected rivers of Kalakkad Mudanthurai Tiger Reserve (KMTR) region (Kallar, Karaiyar, Manimuthar, Ramanathi) and other one at Kalikesam, Kanyakumari district). Their collected fish samples of morphometric characters are differentiated by various standard analyses of difference were carried out to examine the implication of morphometric variations among populations. The species wise and population wise descriptive statistics viz., minimum, maximum, mean, standard deviation; the coefficient of variation (CV) of all morphometric traits, the multivariate coefficient of variation (CVp) and the Principle Component Analysis were carried out. The detected phenotypical divergence between Devario aequipinnatus specimens revealed the fact of existing of five morphologically separated stocks within the samples may imply as a possibility a relationship among the extent of phenotypic heterogeneity and the geographic distance, shows limited combine into one among the populations. -
