Title :

Studies on African Crambidae II – On the identity of Asopia onychinalis Guenée, 1954, its synonyms, generic placement and related species (Pyraloidea, Crambidae, Spilomelinae)

Abstract :

The identity of Asopia onychinalis Guenée, 1854 and its synonyms were studied based on type material and additional specimens from various locations. Lepyrodes astomalis Felder & Rogenhofer, 1875 is considered as a valid species and Nausinoe gueyraudi Guillermet, 2004 from Réunion is considered a junior subjective synonym of astomalis. The genus Chabulina Shaffer & Munroe, 2007 is discussed and is considered to consist of the following species: C. albinalis (Hampson, 1912) (Bocchoris) comb. nov.; C. amphipeda (Meyrick, 1939) (Margaronia) comb. nov.; with its synonym Glyphodes cadeti Guillermet, 1996 syn. nov.; C. astomalis (Felder & Rogenhofer, 1875) (Lepyrodes) comb. nov., with its synonym Nausinoe gueyraudi Guillermet, 2004 syn. nov.; C. bleusei (Oberthür, 1887) (Synclera) comb. nov.; C. cineralis (de Joannis, 1932) (Margaronia) comb. nov.; C. labarinthalis (Hampson, 1912) (Bocchoris) comb. nov., with Bocchoris labyrinthialis Klima, 1939 as a misspelling; C. nuclealis (de Joannis, 1927) (Bocchoris) comb. nov.; C. onychinalis (Guenée, 1854) (Asopia) comb. nov., with its synonym Zebronia braurealis Walker, 1859; C. putrisalis (Viette, 1958) (Diastictis) comb. nov., and C. tenera (Butler, 1883) (Hydrocampa) comb. nov.
