A review of the genus Eugoa Walker (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae, Lithosiini) in Cambodia, with the description of a new species

Abstract

Eugoa Walker (Arctiinae, Lithosiini) from Cambodia is reviewed. The genus counts with 20 species in this country, including Eugoa arguta Bayarsaikhan Bae, n. sp., and three newly recorded species, E. vasta van Eecke, 1920, rest. comb., E. formosicola (Matsumura, 1927), n. st. and E. kuznetzovi Dubatolov Bucsek, 2016. Besides our revalidation of Eugoa bipunctata formosicola as a valid species, it was also discovered to have a synonym: E. cesaneki Bucsek, 2008 n. syn. Moreover, females of E. lucea Bucsek, 2012, E. nata Dubatolov Bucsek, 2013, and E. kuznetzovi Dubatolov Bucsek, 2016 are described and illustrated for the first time. A key to the Cambodian species of the genus Eugoa with illustration of adults and genitalia are provided.

On the taxonomy of the genus Eugoa Walker (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae) with a description of a new species from the Andaman Islands (India)

“…Six species are also known from Africa (Kühne 2007) but their generic placement is unclear and needs revision (Volynkin et al, in prep.). A number of species of Eugoa were described during the last two decades (Fang 2000;Holloway 2001;Bucsek 2008Bucsek , 2012Bucsek , 2016bČerný & Pinratana 2009;Dubatolov & Bucsek 2013;2016;Černý & Bucsek 2014;Kirti & Singh 2016;Bayarsaikhan et al 2018Bayarsaikhan et al , 2019Bucsek & Rindoš 2018;Volynkin et al 2018;Bucsek 2020). Nevertheless, some groups of the genus are still in need of revision.…”
