Abstract

The first comprehensive survey of the Cameroonian Drilini fauna is presented. High diversity was identified in the zone of tropical rain forest and five genera are proposed: Flabelloselasia gen. n., Kupeselasia gen. n., Lolosia gen. n., Microselasia gen. n., and Wittmerselasia gen. n. with the subgenus Latoselasia subgen. n. The following species are described: Flabelloselasia oculata sp. n., Kupeselasia minuta sp. n., Lolosia transversalis sp. n., Microselasia barombi sp. n., M. elongata sp. n., M. gracilis sp. n., M. grandis sp. n., M. kupensis sp. n., M. lolodorfensis sp. n., M. macrocephala sp. n., M. obscura sp. n., M. pseudograndis sp. n., Wittmerselasia camerooniana sp. n., W. davidsoni sp. n., W. geiseri sp. n., W. variabilis sp. n., and W. (Latoselasia) similis sp. n. Selasia maculataWittmer, 1989 is redescribed and transferred to Wittmerselasia gen. n. as W. maculata (Wittmer, 1989), comb. n. Taxonomically important characters are illustrated for all genera and species and an identification key for Drilini from Cameroon is provided.

喀麦隆Drilini（蝶科：Agrypninae）的分类学综述揭示了高度的形态多样性，包括发现了五个新属

首次对喀麦隆Drilini动物群进行了全面调查。热带雨林区具有较高的多样性，并提出了五个属：Flabelloselasia genn.、Kupeselasia genn.、Lolosia gen.、Microselasia gen.和Wittmerselasia gen。n.描述了以下物种：Flabelloselasia oculata sp.n、Kupeselasia minuta sp.n，Lolosia transversalis sp.n；Microselasia barombi sp.n。，W.geieri sp.n、W.variabilis sp.n和W.（Latoselasis）similis sp.n.Selasia maculata Wittmer，1989被重新命名并转移到Wittmerselasia gen.n.作为W.maculata（Wittmer），comb。n.对所有属和种的重要分类学特征进行了说明，并提供了来自喀麦隆的Drilini的鉴定密钥。

期刊介绍： Insect Systematics & Evolution (ISE) publishes original papers on all aspects of systematic entomology and the evolutionary history of both extant and extinct insects and related groups. Priority is given to taxonomic revisions and phylogenetic studies employing morphological and molecular data. ISE also welcomes reviews and syntheses that can appeal to a wide community of systematic entomologists. Single species descriptions, regional checklists, and phylogenetic studies based on few taxa or single molecular markers will generally not be accepted.
