Revision of the genus Cyphura . Part III: The geminia and semiobsoleta species groups from the Indo-Pacific region with five new species (Lepidoptera: Uraniidae: Uraniinae)
The geminia and semiobsoleta groups of the genus Cyphura Warren, 1902 (Lepidoptera: Uraniidae) are revised. Five new species are described. There are four new species in the geminia species group: Cyphura pallidata sp. n., C. marcoi sp. n., C. aruensis sp. n., and C. numforensis sp. n. In this group, a lectotype is designated for Strophidia costalis Butler, 1887, C. subsimilis Warren, 1902, S. bifasciata Butler, 1879, C. catenulata Warren, 1902, Urapteroides approximans Swinhoe, 1902, U. falka Swinhoe, 1916, U. swinhoei Rothschild, 1915 and for U. swinhoei Joicey & Kaye, 1917. Six new synonyms are proposed: U. gutturalis (Swinhoe, 1916) is a junior synonym of C. geminia (Cramer, 1779), C. subsimilis Warren, 1902 is a junior synonym of C. costalis (Butler, 1887), C. catenulata Warren, 1902 and U. approximans (Swinhoe, 1902) are both junior synonyms of C. bifasciata (Butler, 1879), U. falka (Swinhoe, 1916) is a junior synonym of C. pieridaria Warren, 1902 and U. swinhoei (Joicey & Kaye, 1917) is a junior synonym of C. maxima (Strand, 1912). Urapteroides swinhoei Rothschild, 1915 is transferred to Cyphura as Cyphura swinhoei (Rothschild, 1915) comb. n. In the semiobsoleta species group, one new species is described: C. trifasciata sp. n. In this group a lectotype is designated for Urapteroides semiobsoleta Warren, 1896, U. semiobsoleta reducta Joicey & Talbot 1916, C. multistrigaria Warren, 1907 and for C. multistrigaria ab. dealbata Warren, 1907.
