The genus Pluma, gen. nov. is established to accommodate two new species of limacodid moths, P. shuni sp. nov. and P. yuensis sp. nov., from South China. Based on morphological and molecular characters, the species cannot be placed in any existing genus and therefore they placed in the newly erected one. The new taxa are supported by morphological characters and DNA barcode data. Male adults, including wing venation and genitalia, are illustrated, along with a barcode-based tree.
新建立的羽蛾属(Pluma, gen. nov.)包含来自中国南方的两种新的刺蛾科蛾类,即新种舒氏羽蛾(P. shuni sp. nov.)和元氏羽蛾(P. yuensis sp. nov.)。基于形态学和分子特征,这些物种无法归入任何现有的属,因此被归入新建立的属。新分类单元得到了形态特征和DNA条形码数据的支持。文中展示了雄性成虫,包括翅脉和生殖器,并给出了基于条形码的系统发育树。
