  • new species and records of moths from african caves lepidoptera Tineidae
    Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington, 2020
    Co-Authors: Donald R. Davis, Mignon M Davis
    Abstract:

    Four species in four separate genera of Tineidae (Lepidoptera) are described from bat caves located in Kenya and South Africa. These include Tinea suswaensis, new species (Kenya), Phereoeca coprophaga, new species (South Africa), Monopis truncata, new species (South Africa), and Setomorpha rutella Zeller (South Africa). All species were collected on or near bat guano deposits in either the twilight or dark zones of the caves. Occasionally the moths were found resting on the walls of the cave near the guano deposits. Descriptions for each species, including the larval stage if known, are provided.

  • a new species of niditinea Tineidae tineinae with a preference for bird nests and the known larval habitats of the species in the united states
    Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington, 2018
    Co-Authors: Mark A Metz, Donald R. Davis, Mignon M Davis
    Abstract:

    We describe and illustrate Niditinea sabroskyi, new species, the larvae of which are associated with bird nests. We provide diagnostic information to distinguish the new species from the other two species occurring in the United States, Niditinea fuscella (Linnaeus, 1758) and Niditinea orleansella (Chambers, 1873). Although there is a considerable amount of published literature on the biology of the most common species, N. fuscella, owing to the difficulty of identifying species of Niditinea, host records are unreliable. We show that N. sabroskyi is predominantly a bird nest associate, and that specimens identified as N. fuscella and previously associated with bird nests are actually misidentified. We also summarize the larval habitat information from specimens with confirmed identifications.

  • revision of the genus philonome chambers and its proposed reassignment to the family Tineidae lepidoptera tineoidea
    ZooKeys, 2015
    Co-Authors: Jae-cheon Sohn, Donald R. Davis, Carlos Lopezvaamonde
    Abstract:

    The New World genus Philonome Chambers, 1874 is revised. This genus comprises twelve species, seven of which are described as new: two species, Philonome nigrescens sp. n. and Philonome wielgusi sp. n., from the United States; four species, Philonome albivittata sp. n., Philonome curvilineata sp. n., Philonome kawakitai sp. n., and Philonome lambdagrapha sp. n., from French Guiana; and one species, Philonome penerivifera sp. n., from Brazil. Lectotypes are designated for Philonome clemensella Chambers, 1874 and Philonome rivifera Meyrick, 1915. Partially on evidence of their head morphology and particularly from molecular evidence, the genus Philonome, previously associated with Bucculatricidae or Lyonetiidae, is reassigned to Tineidae. A possible systematic position of Philonome within Tineidae is discussed. Eurynome Chambers, 1875, is synonymized with Argyresthia Hubner, 1825 (Argyresthiidae). Photographs of adults and illustrations of genitalia, when available, are provided for all described species of Philonome and two species previously misplaced in Philonome, Argyresthia luteella (Chambers, 1875) and Elachista albella (Chambers, 1877). In addition, DNA barcodes were used for the delimitation of most species.

  • Summary of phylogenetic analyses based on taxon (sub)sampling of Tineoidea.
    2013
    Co-Authors: Jerome C. Regier, Charles Mitter, Andreas Zwick, Adam L. Bazinet, Michael P. Cummings, Akito Y. Kawahara, Jae-cheon Sohn, Derrick J. Zwickl, Soowon Cho, Donald R. Davis
    Abstract:

    Summary phylogenetic trees are displayed with corresponding bootstrap percentages for analysis of nt123 and nt123_degen1 data sets based on different taxon subsamples for Tineoidea. For ease and focus of presentation, only relationships among strongly supported, higher-level groupings are shown (see Figure 3). These groupings are: Tine: Tineidae – Eudarcia (20 taxa total); Psych  =  Psychidae (9 taxa total); Eudarcia (currently classified within Tineidae, 1 taxon); Compsoctena (currently classified within Eriocottidae; 1 taxon); NTD: non-tineoid Ditrysia (27 taxa total); and the non-ditrysian outgroup (not shown), which consist of Palaephatidae + Tischeriidae (5 taxa total).

  • on the taxonomic status of cephimallota angusticostella zeller and c crassiflavella bruand Tineidae
    Nota lepidopterologica., 2011
    Co-Authors: Reinhard Gaedike, Richard Mally
    Abstract:

    Cephimallota angusticostella (Zeller, 1839) and C. crassifl avella Bruand, 1851 are two Pa- laearctic Tineidae species which have been recognised as well differentiated taxa. The observation of variability in the male saccus caused doubt about the status of the two taxa and prompted us to initiate a detailed study of the male genital morphology. In this study we found a distinct variability in the shape of the saccus only in C. crassifl avella, and not in C. angusticostella. The differences in external and genital morphology are corroborated by molecular analyses (DNA barcoding). The morphological and molecular data are discussed in the context of the determined distribution of the two taxa. Zusammenfassung. Cephimallota angusticostella (Zeller, 1839) und C. crassifl avella Bruand, 1851 stellen zwei palaearktische, als gut unterscheidbar angesehene Tineidae-Arten dar. Die Beobachtung von Va ria- bilitat im mannlichen Saccus lies Zweifel zum Status der beiden Taxa aufkommen und war Anlass einer de- taillierten Untersuchung der morphologischen Strukturen der mannlichen Genitalien. Es konnte eine klare Variabilitat in der Form des Saccus nur bei C. crassifl avella gefunden werden, wahrend C. an gusti costella in dieser Hinsicht keine Variabilitat zeigt. Die auserlichen und genitalmorphologischen Unterschiede be sta- tigten sich in molekularen Analysen (DNA-Barcoding). Die morphologischen und mole kularen Er geb nisse werden im Kontext der hier ermittelten Verbreitung der zwei Taxa diskutiert.

  • contributions to the knowledge of palaearctic Tineidae
    Nota lepidopterologica., 2011
    Co-Authors: Reinhard Gaedike
    Abstract:

    Examination of tineid specimens from the Mediterranean Region has resulted in the discovery of two new taxa, Eudarcia (Abchagleris) jaworskii and Eudarcia (Neomeessia) alanyacola. The previous- ly unknown female genitalia of Nemapogon somchetiella Zagulajev, 1961 and Infurcitinea vanderwolfi Gaedike, 1997 are described for the fi rst time. A study of Monopis bisonella Sumpich, 2011 revealed that this taxon is a junior synonym of Monopis burmanni, 1979. New country records are given for six species.

  • some new and interesting microlepidoptera from the collection of the zoologisches forschungsmuseum alexander koenig zfmk bonn lepidoptera Tineidae epermeniidae acrolepiidae douglasiidae
    2009
    Co-Authors: Reinhard Gaedike
    Abstract:

    The study of some of the so called "Microlepidoptera" families, the Tineidae, Epermeniidae, Acrolepiidae and Douglasiidae, at the collection of the ZFMK, brought some species of taxonomical and faunistical interest to light. Two species are described as new: Reisserita zouhari sp. n. (Tineidae), and Epermenia (Epermenia) dalianicola sp. n. (Eper- meniidae), and the type-material of the four families, represented in this collection, is listed and commented. Keywords.

    In this article are described 49 butterflies species recorded during investigations from different locations on island Krk. Researched species belong to 3 micromoths families Tineidae (38 species), Epermeniidae (six species) and Acrolepiidae (five species), of which six species were new for Croatian fauna of Lepidoptera.
