DNA barcode analysis of cytochrome oxidase I (COI) could not differentiate between the species of the Schinia volupia (Fitch, 1868) complex including S. volupia, S. masoni Smith, S. fulleri (McElvare, 1961); S. sanrafaeli Opler, 2004; S. miniana (Grote, 1881); and S. biforma Smith, 1906. Genitalic characters could only differentiate S. biforma from the S. volupia complex. Based on forewing color and pattern, larval host plant utilization, and geographic distribution, S. volupia, S. sanrafaeli, S. fulleri, and S. miniana are recognized as valid species and S. masoni is considered a new synonym of S. volupia. Schinia volupia, S.fulleri, S. sanrafaeli, S. miniana, and S. biforma are diagnosed and described. A variety of adult images are presented to show the range of variation among these species. Male and female genitalia of all included taxa are illustrated. Host plant utilization is discussed and illustrated. Distribution maps for examined specimens are provided.
细胞色素氧化酶I（COI）的DNA条形码分析无法区分包括沃卢皮娅肖夜蛾（Schinia volupia，菲奇，1868年）、梅氏肖夜蛾（S. masoni，史密斯）、富勒氏肖夜蛾（S. fulleri，麦克尔瓦雷，1961年）、圣拉斐尔肖夜蛾（S. sanrafaeli，奥普勒，2004年）、米尼亚纳肖夜蛾（S. miniana，格罗特，1881年）和双形肖夜蛾（S. biforma，史密斯，1906年）在内的沃卢皮娅肖夜蛾复合体中的各个物种。生殖器特征只能将双形肖夜蛾与沃卢皮娅肖夜蛾复合体区分开来。根据前翅颜色和图案、幼虫寄主植物利用情况以及地理分布，沃卢皮娅肖夜蛾、圣拉斐尔肖夜蛾、富勒氏肖夜蛾和米尼亚纳肖夜蛾被确认为有效物种，而梅氏肖夜蛾被视为沃卢皮娅肖夜蛾的新同物异名。对沃卢皮娅肖夜蛾、富勒氏肖夜蛾、圣拉斐尔肖夜蛾、米尼亚纳肖夜蛾和双形肖夜蛾进行了诊断和描述。展示了各种成虫图像，以显示这些物种之间的变异范围。绘制了所有纳入分类单元的雄性和雌性生殖器图。讨论并说明了寄主植物利用情况。提供了所检查标本的分布图。
