Elaphriini is a small tribe of the subfamily Noctuinae with predominantly New World distribution. Only three genera, Elaphria Hübner, 1818 with four species, Galgula Guenée, 1852 with one species (Fibiger & Hacker 2010) and Strotihypera Kononenko & Han, 2011 with one species are known from the Eurasia. The majority of species occurs in tropical and subtropical regions. The review of Eurasian Elaphriini with description of the new genus Strotihypera has recently been published by Kononenko & Han (2011). In the subsequent years in the result of intensive collecting in South West China we found a new species allied to Strotihypera flavipuncta (Leech, 1889) and two related species Strotihypera ochreipuncta (Wileman, 1914), comb. n. and "Hyperstrotia" macroplaga (Hampson, 1907), comb. n. The description of a new species and the review of two of its allies are presented here as a postscript to the description of the genus Strotihypera (Kononenko & Han 2011).
埃拉弗夜蛾族是夜蛾亚科中的一个小族,主要分布于新大陆。在欧亚大陆仅知有三个属,即1818年的埃拉弗夜蛾属(Elaphria Hübner),有四个物种;1852年的加尔古拉夜蛾属(Galgula Guenée),有一个物种(菲比格和哈克,2010年);以及2011年的斯特罗蒂夜蛾属(Strotihypera Kononenko & Han),有一个物种。大多数物种分布于热带和亚热带地区。科诺年科和韩(2011年)最近发表了对欧亚大陆埃拉弗夜蛾族的综述,并描述了新属斯特罗蒂夜蛾属。在随后的几年里,通过在中国西南部的密集采集,我们发现了一个与黄斑斯特罗蒂夜蛾(Strotihypera flavipuncta,李,1889年)近缘的新物种,以及两个近缘物种赭斑斯特罗蒂夜蛾(Strotihypera ochreipuncta,威利曼,1914年),新组合;和“巨斑超斯特罗夜蛾”(“Hyperstrotia” macroplaga,汉普森,1907年),新组合。这里给出一个新物种及其两个近缘物种的综述,作为斯特罗蒂夜蛾属描述(科诺年科和韩,2011年)的后记。
