Title :

Note on Liptena undina (Grose-Smith & Kirby, 1894), with the description of two new taxa (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae, Poritiinae)


Abstract :

Male and female genitalia show that two species are confused under the name Liptena undina (Grose-Smith & Kirby, 1894); the new species, which flies in the eastern part of the range of L. undina, is named L. dunnia sp. nov. It has two subspecies, the nominate in the east and subspecies reducta ssp. nov. in the west. New data are also provided on the distribution of Liptena ochrea Hawker-Smith, 1933.

Les genitalia mâles et femelles montrent que deux espèces sont confondues sous le nom de Liptena undina (Grose-Smith & Kirby, 1894). La nouvelle espèce, qui vole dans la partie orientale de l'aire de répartition, est nommée L. dunnia sp. nov.; elle comporte deux sous-espèces, la sous-espèce nominative à l’est et la sous-espèce reducta ssp. nov. à l’ouest. Des nouvelles données sont fournies sur la distribution de Liptena ochrea Hawker-Smith, 1933.

Title :

Ithome concolorella (Chambers, 1875) on Ascension Island (Lepidoptera: Cosmopterigidae: Chrysopeleiinae)


Abstract :

The author reports on the occurrence of Ithome concolorella on Ascension Island. Although it is a relatively recent introduction, the species has spread quickly over all parts of the island, with highest abundances recorded in lower and mid altitudes. Larvae have not yet been found, but it is assumed that they feed on introduced plant species, such as Mexican Thorn, Prosopis juliflora and Horse Tamarind, Leucaena leucocephala.
