Abstract

The genus Prometopidia Hampson, 1902 and its type-species P. conisaria Hampson, 1902 are redescribed and newly discovered morphological characters are explained. The female holotype of Prometopidia arenosa Wiltshire, 1961, was studied and the species redescribed, its correct position in Prometopidia is verified. The new species P. joshimathensis sp. nov. is described from Joshimath area in India, Uttarakhand province. Sympatric with P. conisaria at Joshimath, P. joshimathensis also occurs at Shimla, Punjab province, and in central and eastern Nepal. Morphological and genetic differences found in the specimens of Nepal are considered subspecific, justifying the new taxon P. joshimathensis yazakii ssp. nov. Types and specimens of Prometopidia across its whole range of distribution from Afghanistan to Nepal, habitats, genitalia, remarkable morphological characters and DNA barcoding-results are figured.

摘要

该属 Prometopidia Hampson，1902 及其模式种 P. conisaria Hampson，1902 被重新描述，并解释了新发现的形态特征。研究了 Prometopidia arenosa Wiltshire，1961 的雌性模式标本，并对该种进行了重新描述，验证了其在 Prometopidia 中的正确位置。来自印度北阿坎德邦约什马地区的新种 P. joshimathensis sp. nov. 被描述。在约什马与 P. conisaria 同域分布的同时，P. joshimathensis 也出现在旁遮普邦的喜马偕尔邦和尼泊尔中部和东部。在尼泊尔标本中发现的形态和遗传差异被认为是亚种，证明了新的分类群 P. joshimathensis yazakii ssp. nov. 的合理性。从阿富汗到尼泊尔的 Prometopidia 分布范围、生境、生殖器、显著形态特征和 DNA 条形码结果的所有类型和标本都有图示。
