Dates in square brackets mean that the date of publication of the work where the taxon was described was obtained from indirect sources.

A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

We evaluated the species concept for a common generalist moth occurring in New Guinea and Australia, Homona mermerodes, in light of host plant records and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I haplotype diversity. Genetic divergence among H. mermerodes moths feeding on different host tree species was much lower than among several Homona species. Genetic divergence between haplotypes from New Guinea and Australia was also less than interspecific divergence. Whereas molecular species identification methods may reveal cryptic species in some generalist herbivores, these same methods may confirm polyphagy when identical haplotypes are reared from multiple host plant families. A lectotype for the species is designated, and a summarized bibliography and illustrations including male genitalia are provided for the first time.

EPSTEIN Dept. of Entomology, MRC 105, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560, USA ABSTRACT.- Observations on the biology of Dalcerides ingenita (H. Edwards) are documented, many for the first time, with photographs and images captured from video. Dalcerid larvae have a dorsum covered with gelatinous warts. It is reported here that the head, prothorax, ventrum and anal segment of larval dalcerids are molted apart from the dorsum of the remaining thorax and abdomen. The gelatinous warts are irregularly molted and are believed to form as a result of secretions beneath old layers of integument. Time-lapse photography of cocoon construction indicates that the warts are sloughed off and fed on by the prepupa. Images of other behaviors include larval locomotion and use of the spinneret, cannibalism of unhatched larvae by newly hatched siblings, and adult emergence and copulation.

Arenales 1256, Lima, Peru. Bosque Llaqta, Av. Confraternidad Internacional Este Nº 364, Huaraz, Perú. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new species of the genus Watsonidia Toulgoët, from the Amazon region of Peru, is described, with two morphotypes. Characters of males and female genitalia of both morphotypes and the genetic analyses (COI) that support the polymorphism of the species are provided. The habitus of males and females is also illustrated. Key words: Citizen Science, Phaegopterina, Tambopata river, Taxonomy Introduction The neotropical genus Watsonidia (Toulgoët, 1981) was proposed with Glaucostola reimona Schaus as its type spe- cies. The original concept of this genus also included Glaucostola pardea Schaus. In the same publication, Toulgoët (1981) described the species W. porioni and, years later (Toulgoët 1986) described the fourth known species of the genus: W. navatteae Toulgoët. The species W. reimona and W. pardea were described based on the individuals col- lected in Buena Vista, Colombia. Toulgoët (1991) noted on the basis of the figures of the types (Watson 1971) and material of the two species from Lita / San Lorenzo (Ecuador) that there were no differences in the morphology of the genital capsules of the males.

Idalus larissa Druce, 1890 comb. rev. is the male of Idalus albescens (Rothschild, 1909) syn. nov. Euplesia sphingidea (Perty, [1833]) is the male of Delphyre varians Hampson, 1901 syn. nov. and Apiconoma opposita (Walker, 1854) is the male of Delphyre aclytioides Hampson, 1901 syn. nov. Moreover two new species of the genus Apiconoma and one species of the genus Glaucostola, all collected in Brazil, are described: Apiconoma witti sp. nov., Apiconoma mojui sp. nov. and Glaucostola indagata sp. nov. Several distances trees and pictures of all male (and one female) genitalia are provided. Distributions for all new species are discussed. Key words: Apiconoma, Euplesia, Idalus, Glaucostola, Arctiinae, Phaegopterina, new species, dimorphic female, Brazil, French Guiana. Introduction Since a few years now, the so-called "barcoding" technique has been established as a very useful tool for the general classification and the discovery of cryptic species but always in association with more usual investigations such as habitus and genitalia observations and also taking into account some geographic considerations.
