Abstract

We describe three new species: Stigmella crassifoliae Remeikis & Stonis, sp. nov. (a leaf-miner on Quercus crassifolia and Q. crispipilis from the highlands of Guatemala), S. robleae Remeikis & Stonis, sp. nov., and S. humboldti Remeikis & Stonis, sp. nov. (leaf-miners on Quercus humboldtii from the Colombian Andes). No Quercus-feeding Nepticulidae species were previously known from South America. All new species are illustrated with photographs of the leaf-mines, cocoons, adults, and genitalia. In the S. saginella species group, for the species possessing in male genitalia M-shaped gnathos with caudal processes closely juxtaposed and phallus without cornuti, a new species complex (the S. nigriverticella complex) is defined. We also provide a pictorial key to the species of the new complex.

摘要

我们描述了三个新物种

厚叶栎潜叶蛾（Stigmella crassifoliae Remeikis & Stonis, 新种）（来自危地马拉高地的厚叶栎和皱叶栎上的一种潜叶虫）、罗伯栎潜叶蛾（S. robleae Remeikis & Stonis, 新种）以及洪堡栎潜叶蛾（S. humboldti Remeikis & Stonis, 新种）（来自哥伦比亚安第斯山脉的洪堡栎上的潜叶虫）。此前南美洲没有已知以栎属植物为食的微蛾科物种。所有新物种都配有潜道、茧、成虫和生殖器的照片。在萨金内拉潜叶蛾物种组中，对于雄性生殖器具有紧密并列尾突的M形颚形突且阳茎无角状器的物种，定义了一个新的物种复合体（黑脉潜叶蛾复合体）。我们还提供了该新复合体物种的图谱检索表。
