Title :

Notes on the genus Chrysodeixis Hübner, [1821] on St Helena Island (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae).

Abstract :

Until now, only a single species of Chrysodeixis has been reported from St Helena Island: Chrysodeixis dalei (Wollaston, 1879). The authors were able to confirm the existence of three species of the genus on the island: Chrysodeixis acuta, C. chalcites and C. includens. The barcoding of the moths and the examination of the genitalia structure have shown that Plusia dalei Wollaston, 1879 syn. nov., is not an endemic species, but a synonym of the American Chrysodeixis includens (Walker, 1858).
