Abstract
Two new species of the tribe Similipepsini (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae: Tinthiinae), Similipepsis gansoni sp. nov. and S. murzini sp. nov., are described and illustrated form central Africa (the banks of the Ubangi River) and Guinea, respectively. Similipepsis gansoni sp. nov. is somewhat similar to S. aureus (Gaede, 1929), but they differ from each other in the conformation of the transparent areas of the forewing, in the coloration of the abdomen, and in some details of the male genitalia. Similipepsis murzini sp. nov. is most similar to S. maromizaensis Bartsch, 2008, but they can be distinguished from each other by the coloration of the frons, thorax, and abdomen.
期刊介绍:
Zoosystematica Rossica is an international journal for publication of papers on any aspects of systematic zoology, in all groups of animals, both extant and fossil, from all over the World. The journal is published in English and focuses on the descriptions of new taxa, revisions and reviews, nomenclature, theories and methods of taxonomy and phylogeny, interesting new faunal records, catalogues and checklists, identification keys, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeography. Faunistic articles are published in a limited way and only if they contain new records for large geographical regions and are important for zoogeography or taxonomy.
