スンダ列島のAlcis variegata, A. colorifera(シャクガ科,エダシャク亜科)とそれぞれの近縁種に関する知見と2新種の記載 Notes on Alcis variegata (Moore), A. colorifera (Prout) (Geometridae, Ennominae), and their allies from the Sunda Islands, with descriptions of two new species

筆者(Sato, 2005)は,先に東南アジアのAlcis属に関する分類学的再検討の必要性を述べ,A. pammicra (Prout)とA. maculata (Moore)と各近縁種群について報告した.本報では,スンダ列島のAlcis variegata (Moore)とA. colorifera (Prout)とそれぞれに近縁の種について再検討をおこなった.主な知見は次の通り. Alcis variegata complex A. variegata (Moore) スマトラから記載されたCleora hypopoecila Proutをvariegataのjunior synonymとし,2亜種sub-ochrearia(台湾)とconvariata(ジャワ)を種に昇格させた. A. taiwanovariegata Sato(台湾) Boarmia subochrearia Wileman & South, 1917とB. subochrearia Leech, 1897は,ともにAlcis属の一員であり,homonym関係にあるため,前者に対して新置換名を提唱した.A. lutzi Sato(スマトラ)とA. paukstadti Sato(フローレス島)を新種として記載した.そのほか,A. convariata (Prout), A. hemiphaenes (Prout), A. cockaynei (Prout), A. praevariegata (Prout)を取り上げた. A. colorifera complex A. colorifera (Prout), A. periphracta (Prout)の2種を取り上げた.

Two species-groups of Alcis from the Sunda Islands are revised. The A. variegata complex: A. variegata (Moore), A. convariata (Prout), stat. & comb, nov., A. hemiphanes (Prout), A. cockaynei (Prout), A. lutzi sp. nov. (Sumatra), A. paukstadti sp. nov. (Flores), A. praevariegata (Prout). Aids taiwanovariegata nom. nov. is proposed for Boarmia subochrearia Wileman & South, 1917, currently assigned to Aids and preoccupied by Leech, 1897. The A. colorifera complex: A. colorifera (Prout), A. periphracta (Prout).
