This paper provides the first comprehensive summary of the Notodontidae fauna of the Maputo Special Reserve in southern Mozambique listing 51 species. Four species are described as new to science (Thacona smithi László Schintlmeister sp. n., Arciera meridiana László Schintlmeister sp. n., Leptolepida krugeri László Schintlmeister sp. n., Thaumetopoea latinivea László Schintlmeister sp. n.) and 23 species are recorded as new country records. Several taxonomic changes are made: the genus Arciera Kiriakoff, 1962 is reinstated and a lectotype is designated for Turnaca grisea Holland, 1893; Thacona pinheyi is transferred to the genus Subscrancia Gaede, 1928 (Subscrancia pinheyi (Kiriakoff, 1965) comb. nov.); and Hoplitis gigas Distant, 1899 is reinstated from synonymy to species rank (Amyops gigas (Distant, 1899) stat. rev.). 106 colour and 40 black and white diagnostic figures are provided including the hitherto unknown females of Archistilbia mlawula Schintlmeister Witt, 2015 and Eurystauridia iphis Kiriakoff, 1968.
本文首次全面总结了莫桑比克南部马普托特别保护区的 Notodontidae 区系,列出了 51 个物种。其中 4 个物种被描述为新种(Thacona smithi László Schintlmeister sp. n.、Arciera meridiana László Schintlmeister sp. n.、Leptolepida krugeri László Schintlmeister sp. n.、Thaumetopoea latinivea László Schintlmeister sp. n.),23 个物种被记录为新的国家记录。还进行了一些分类学上的更改:重新设立了 Arciera Kiriakoff, 1962 属,并为 Turnaca grisea Holland, 1893 指定了一个模式标本;将 Thacona pinheyi 移至 Subscrancia Gaede, 1928 属(Subscrancia pinheyi (Kiriakoff, 1965) comb. nov.);从 synonymy 恢复到种级的 Hoplitis gigas Distant, 1899(Amyops gigas (Distant, 1899) stat. rev.)。提供了 106 个彩色和 40 个黑白诊断图,包括迄今为止未知的 Archistilbia mlawula Schintlmeister Witt, 2015 和 Eurystauridia iphis Kiriakoff, 1968 的雌性。
