Zur Taxonomie und Verbreitung der Hapsiferinae (Lepidoptera, Tineidae)

Abstract

Out of a sample of Tineid moths collected by H. Höne in China 50 years ago a new Scalidomia species is described. Together with specimens of Dasyses barbata Christoph this material allows to discuss some problems of both distribution and relationships of genera commonly summarized under the subfamily Hapsiferinae.

Description of a new endemic genus of the Namib Desert and adjacent biomes in Namibia (Tineoidea: Tineidae: Hapsiferinae)

“…This study included only two of the 10 genera currently placed in this subfamily (Petersen, 1991). A comprehensive study, sampling over the full diversity of tineids, including a large number of genetic markers, would be needed in order to place Rooiklipia gen. nov. and contribute to a more robust systematic framework for the family.…”
