Abstract

BACKGROUND

Before the present study, the family Metarbelidae in Taiwan was known for only one species, . During an investigation of the lepidopteran fauna of Kinmen island in 2022, a species that had never been reported by any of previous entomological studies on Kinmen was discovered.

NEW INFORMATION

Based on the morphological characters distinct from other congeneric species, we determine the specimens from Kinmen as a species new to science. In addition, "" was often regarded as a timber pest in China and Taiwan. This species, however, has already been transferred to and restricted to Myanmar. Another pest species, which has been misidentified as "" (a junior synonym of ) in Chinese literature for long, is actually belonging to . We therefore consider the taxonomic identity of the in southern China needs to be clarified when sufficient specimens and molecular data become available.

摘要

背景

在本研究之前，台湾的美苔蛾科仅知一种。在2022年对金门岛鳞翅目昆虫区系的调查中，发现了一种此前在金门的任何昆虫学研究中均未报道过的物种。

新信息

基于与其他同属物种不同的形态特征，我们将来自金门的标本确定为一个新的科学物种。此外，在中国和台湾，“”常被视为木材害虫。然而，该物种已被转移到并仅分布于缅甸。另一种长期以来在中国文献中被误鉴定为“”（的次异名）的害虫物种，实际上属于。因此，我们认为当有足够的标本和分子数据时，中国南方的分类地位需要进一步明确。
