Summary: | Photoscotosia atrostrigata (Bremer), ab. (Figs 32a, 32b, 63) Photoscotosia lucicolens, nec Butler: Beljaev & Mironov 2019: 261 (Sakhalin). Material examined. 1 ♀, S Kholmsk, 17.VIII.2016, O. Titova. Remarks. The erroneous report of “ Photoscotosia lucicolens ” from Sakhalin (Beljaev & Mironov 2019, 2021) was based on the aberrant specimen of Ph. atrostrigata, cited here. The specimen possesses the blackish postdiscal blotch on the underside of forewing similar to those of Ph. lucicolens (see Beljaev & Knyazev 2021, figs 5–10), but the genitalia dissection undoubtedly indicated the belonging of this female to Ph. atrostrigata (Fig. 63). Evidently, it is a rare aberration in the wing marking, since we examined dozens of specimens of Ph. atrostrigata from Sakhalin but did not find more specimens of this form. Nevertheless, this sample shows that the shape of the blotch is not an undoubted character to distinguish Ph. atrostrigata from Ph. lucicolens. Thus, Ph. lucicolens has to be excluded from the ... : Published as part of Beljaev, Еvgeniy A. & Titova, Olga L., 2023, New data on geometroid moths (Lepidoptera: Geometroidea: Uraniidae and Geometridae) from Sakhalin and Moneron islands with notes on their taxonomy distribution and ecology, pp. 1-41 in Zootaxa 5369 (1) on page 18, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5369.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/10147411 ... |
