Abstract

There are 14 species of Castniinae known from Mexico of which about ten appear to be endemic. Among the latter, we find Synpalamides chelone (Hopffer, 1856), Synpalamides escalantei (J.Y. Miller, 1976) and Castnia estherae J.Y. Miller, 1976. As far as we can tell, no additional specimens of this latter species have been observed until recently, and most of these are reported herein. A description of the male of S. estherae is provided along with a discussion of the comparative morphology of the closely related S. chelone and S. escalantei, and insight into their life histories and bionomics. Additional review of these species along with the other Synpalamides restricted to South America warranted the description of a new genus, Escalantiana J.Y. Miller gen. nov., to which the above species are assigned.

摘要

已知墨西哥有14种透翅蛾亚科昆虫，其中约10种似乎为特有种。在后者中，我们发现了龟透翅蛾（Synpalamides chelone，霍普费尔，1856年）、埃氏透翅蛾（Synpalamides escalantei，J.Y. 米勒，1976年）和埃斯特拉透翅蛾（Castnia estherae，J.Y. 米勒，1976年）。据我们所知，直到最近才观察到该后一种的其他标本，本文报道了其中大部分。提供了埃斯特拉透翅蛾雄性的描述，同时讨论了与之密切相关的龟透翅蛾和埃氏透翅蛾的比较形态学，并深入探讨了它们的生活史和生态学。对这些物种以及局限于南美洲的其他透翅蛾属物种的进一步研究，促使我们描述了一个新属——埃氏透翅蛾属（Escalantiana，J.Y. 米勒，新属），上述物种被归入该属。
