Two new species of Noctuidae
2016Co-Authors: Eric H. Metzler, David Bustos, Gregory S. ForbesAbstract:zookeys.9.182 Th e white gypsum dune ecosystem in the Tularosa Basin in south central New Mexico is the largest gyp-sum dune fi eld on earth, covering 712.25 km2. White Sands National Monument in Otero County, New Mexico, protects approximately 40 %, 297.85 km2, of this dune fi eld. In 2006 the US National Park Service initiated a long term study of the Lepidoptera at White Sands National Monument, resulting in the discovery of two new species, Euxoa lafontainei Metzler & Forbes, sp. n. and Protogygia whitesandsen-sis Metzler & Forbes, sp. n. described herein. Adult moths and male and female genitalia are illustrated for Euxoa lafontainei, and adults and male genitalia are illustrated for Protogygia whitesandsensis and its relatives

A revision of the South American genus Metecia Snellen (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Noctuinae).
Zootaxa, 2015Co-Authors: Fernando Navarro, M. Jose Barrionuevo, Germán San BlasAbstract:The genus Metecia Snellen (Noctuidae. Noctuinae) from Southern Argentina and Chile is redescribed and three species are recognized: M. cornifrons Snellen, M. lacustris (Kohler) n. comb., and M. hypothetica (Kohler) n. comb. In addition, Euxoa pampeana Kohler is synonymized with Metecia cornifrons. Adults and male and female genitalia are described and illustrated for the first time, and a key to the species is provided.

Agrotis Ochsenheimer (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae): a systematic analysis of South American species.
Zootaxa, 2014Co-Authors: Germán San BlasAbstract:The genus Agrotis Ochsenheimer, 1816 (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) contains about 300 described species distributed worldwide, excepting the Poles. For South America 93 species have been described. Different diagnostic characters have been proposed for species from the northern Hemisphere, mostly from male genitalia. Recently, numerous South American species of the genus have been transferred to other genera. In this work, a systematic revision was undertaken of the South American species of Agrotis , restricting to 20 the number of species of this genus for the region and transferring the other species to different genera and/or synonymizing with other species. Based on a detailed study of the external morphology and genitalia of both sexes, several nomen clatural changes are proposed. New generic synonymy: MesembrEuxoa Hampson = Feltia Walker. New Agrotis synonymies include: Scotia forsteri Kohler = A. propriens (Dyar); Agrotis peruviana hampsoni Draudt, Rhizagrotis triclava Draudt, and Euxoa andina Kohler = A. peruviana (Hampson); Lycophotia achromatica Hampson, Feltia malefida patagiata Aurivillius, Prout and Meyrick, Agrotis psammophila Kohler, and Scotia ( Feltia ) canietensis Kohler = A. malefida Guenee; Chorizagrotis benefida Draudt = A. experta (Walker); Agrotis livens Kohler and Agrotis capayana Kohler = A. araucaria (Hampson). Species transferred to Feltia Walker tent. include: Scotia aspersula Kohler, n. comb.; Porosagrotis brachystria Hampson, n. comb.; Agrotis carrascoi Kohler, n. comb.; MesembrEuxoa chilensis Hampson, n. comb.; Euxoa clavisigna Dognin, n. comb.; Euxoa conifrons Draudt, n. comb.; Agrotis consternans Hayes, n. comb.; Euxoa coquimbensis Hampson, n. comb.; MesembrEuxoa fasicola Dyar, n. comb.; Chorizagrotis forasmicans Kohler, n. comb.; Agrotis giselae Leon, n. comb.; Agrotis gypaetina Guenee, n. comb.; Agrotis hispidula Guenee, n. comb.; Euxoa incarum Cockerell, n. comb.; Agrotis india Kohler, n. comb.; Scotia mansa Kohler, n. comb.; Scotia picata Kohler, n. comb.; Agrotis rondanelli Leon, n. comb.; Euxoa senta Draudt, n. comb.; and Agrotis submontana Kohler, n. comb. New Feltia tent. synonymies include: Agrotis daguerrei Kohler, Porosagrotis atricentrica Hampson, and Agrotis llanoi Kohler = F. brachystria ; Lycophotia baeckstroemi Aurivillius = F. deprivata (Walker); Agrotis raveni Kohler = F. fasicola ; Agrotis gentilii Kohler = F. forasmicans ; Scotia nyei Kohler, Euxoa australis Kohler, and Scotia liniclinans Kohler = F. hispidula ; Euxoa bosqui Kohler and Euxoa griseosparsa Kohler = F. lutescens (Blanchard); Euxoa praeocupata Kohler, Agrotis andinicola Kohler, and Scotia songoensis Kohler = F. subandina (Kohler); Agrotis maldonadoi Kohler = F. submontana . New combinations of Agrotis species: Anicla albiorbis (Dyar), n. comb.; Noctubourgognea chimaera (Kohler), n. comb.; Noctubourgognea dissociata (Staudinger), n. comb.; Pseudoleucania nigrocollaris (Kohler), n. comb.; and P. wittmeri (Kohler), n. comb. One lectotype and one paralectotype are designated for A. edmondsi Butler. The 20 species of South American Agrotis are redescribed using characters of color pattern, external morphology of head and thorax, and internal morphology of male (including vesica) and female genitalia. This is the first time complete eversions and description of male genitalia (aedeagus and vesica) and female genitalia are done for almost all the South American species. Images of all described characters and dichotomous keys to identify South American species of Agrotis are included.
