Abstract

Tricholapita Gómez-Zurita and Cardoso nom. nov. is proposed as the replacement name for the leaf beetle taxon Lapita Gómez-Zurita and Cardoso, 2014, nec Bickel, 2002. Moreover, the rank of Tricholapita stat. nov. is elevated from subgenus of Taophila Heller, 1916 to generic status. Phylogenetic evidence based on mtDNA rrnS sequences and diagnostic morphological characters reveals a new species from the south of Grande Terre in New Caledonia, which is described: Tricholapita reidi sp. nov.

摘要

提出Tricholapita Gómez-Zurita和Cardoso作为新名称，以取代叶甲分类单元Lapita Gómez-Zurita和Cardoso（2014年，非Bickel，2002年）。此外，Tricholapita的分类地位从1916年Heller的Taophila亚属提升为属级地位。基于线粒体DNA rrnS序列和诊断性形态特征的系统发育证据揭示了新喀里多尼亚主岛南部的一个新物种，并对其进行了描述：Tricholapita reidi sp. nov.
