Twenty-two new taxa of owlet moths (families Erebidae and Noctuidae) are described along with three status changes from subspecies to species, eleven new synonymies, and twenty-one new combinations. Of the new taxa, one is a new tribe, Annaphilini Mustelin, n. tribe, and twenty-one are new species from southern California: Drasteria convergens Mustelin, n.sp., Tarachidia nigra Mustelin, n.sp., Oncocnemis duplex Troubridge and Mustelin, n.sp., O. helena Mustelin, n.sp., O. sala Mustelin, n.sp., O. kelsoensis Robertson and Mustelin, n.sp., Annaphila scurlockorum Sala and Mustelin, n.sp., Cryphia flavipuncta Mustelin, n.sp., Protoperigea umbricata Mustelin, n.sp., P. subterminata Mustelin, n.sp., P. parvulata Mustelin, n.sp., P. calientensis Mustelin, n.sp., Aseptis fanatica Mustelin, n.sp., Aseptis torreyana Mustelin, n.sp., Apamea robertsoni Mikkola and Mustelin, n.sp., A. digitula Mustelin and Mikkola, n.sp., Photedes sofiae Mustelin, n.sp., Mammifrontia sarae Mustelin, n.sp., Lasionycta sala Troubridge and Mustelin, n.sp., Trichocerapoda harbisoni Mustelin, n.sp., and T. oceanis Robertson and Mustelin, n.sp. The relationship of these new species to their closest relatives is discussed. The following new combinations are proposed to maintain consistency in generic concepts between the European and North American faunas: Agrochola decipiens (Grote, 1881), n. comb., Anarta chartaria (Grote, 1873), n. comb., Anarta trifolii (Hufnagel, 1766), n. comb., Anarta mutata (Dod, 1913), n. comb., Anarta fulgora (Barnes & McDunnough, 1918), n. comb., Anarta castrae (Barnes & McDunnough, 1912), n. comb., Anarta hamata (McDunnough, 1930), n. comb., Anarta oregonica (Grote, 1881), n. comb., Anarta montanica (McDunnough, 1930), n. comb., Anarta columbica (McDunnough, 1930), n. comb., Anarta alta (Barnes & Benjamin, 1924), n. comb., Anarta subalbida (Barnes & Benjamin, 1924), n. comb., Anarta obesula (Smith, 1904), n. comb., Anarta farnhami (Grote, 1873), n. comb., Anarta crotchi (Grote, 1880), n. comb., Anarta oaklandiae (McDunnough, 1937), n. comb., Anarta projecta (McDunnough, 1938), n. comb., Anarta edwardsii (Smith, 1888), n. comb., Anarta florida (Smith, 1900), n. comb., Anarta antica (Smith, 1891), n. comb., and Anarta decepta (Grote, 1883), n. comb.

Inti gen. nov. (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae: Entedoninae), is described from Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic, and includes one new species, I. levis sp. nov. The new genus is characterized by four autapomorphies, and the possession of an additional 14 synapomorphies. Inti is compared to the Australian genus Horismenoides Girault with which it shares the most apomorphies, indicating a possible sister-group relationship. The relationship of Inti to the tribe Euderomphalini and to other groups in the subfamily is discussed briefly.

AbstractThe following new odontiine taxa are described: Clupeosoma cicatricale, Sumatra; C. margarisemale, Java; C. microthyrale, Sabah; Hydrorybina fulvescens, Sumatra; Hemiscopis intermedialis, Soemba; Platynoorda, and its type-species P. atrivittalis, Sabah; Porphyronoorda, and its type-species P. decumbens, S. India; Gononoorda, its type-species G. neervoorti, Java; also G. jacobsoni, Sumatra. Hydrorybina Hampson is removed from the synonymy of Clupeosoma Snellen, and is redefined. In addition to the type-species, H. polusalis (Walker), and the new species H. fulvescens, the genus includes two species, Anemosa pryeri Butler and Clupeosoma violascens Hampson, transferred as new combinations from Clupeosoma. Syllythria bicolor Moore, placed first in Hydrorybina then in Clupeosoma by Hampson, is considered probably odontiine but probably not a member of either of those genera. It is left in Clupeosoma pending further investigation. Eurycreon? rubralis Warren is removed from the synonymy of C. bicolor and is transferred to the subfamily Pyraustinae as Pyrausta rubralis (Warren), n. comb. The relationship of Hydrorybina to Hemiscopis Warren is pointed out, and differential characters are given. Micromania Swinhoe, with type-species M. stigmatalis Swinhoe, is removed from the synonymy of Hemiscopis and is transferred to the subfamily Nymphulinae in the vicinity of Paracymoriza Warren, which is removed from the synonymy of Parthenodes Guenée. Noorda moringae Tams and N. trimaculalis Amsel are transferred to Epinoorda Rebel as new combinations.

One New Species

During several sampling periods in the Northern Adriatic Sea (Mediterranean) from 2003–2010, one species of Pista and one of Pistella were found. They were initially identified as Pista cf. lornensis (Pearson, 1969), but detailed examination revealed the presence of two new species, one belonging to the genus Pistella Hartmann-Schröder, 1996, P. rovignensis sp. nov. and one belonging to the genus Pista, P. adriatica sp. nov. These two species differ from each other in the structure of the branchiae, shape of lateral lobes and the structure of the anterior thoracic uncini. The two new species are compared with other species of Pistella and Pista currently known. The relationship of Pistella and Pista is confusing and a complete revision of the two genera is urgently needed together with other genera characterized by having long-handled thoracic uncini.

The generic limits of Mormolyca Fenzl are extended to include Cyrtoglottis Schltr., on the basis of intermediate species. A previously misunderstood species, Maxillaria galeata Scheidw., is included in the genus Mormolyca, and the relationship of this genus to the rest of the Maxillaria-alliance is discussed. One new species, Mormolyca polyphylla, is described, and a synopsis of the genus is presented.

The Palearctic genus Cochylichroa Obraztsov & Swatschek, 1958, revised status (type species: Eupoecilia atricapitana Stephens, 1852), is redefined based on North American congeners, resulting in the following new combinations: Cochylichroa arthuri (Dang, 1984), new combination; C. atricapitana (Stephens, 1852), revised status; C. aurorana (Kearfott, 1907), new combination; C. avita (Razowski, 1997), new combination; C. foxcana (Kearfott, 1907), new combination; C. hospes (Walsingham, 1884), new combination; C. hoffmanana (Kearfott, 1907), new combination; C. temerana (Busck, 1907), new combination; and C. viscana (Kearfott, 1907), new combination. Monoceratuncus Razowski, 1992, is reported for the first time from the U.S.A. as Monoceratuncus lantana Pogue, new species. Mimcochylis Razowski, 1985, is reported for the first time from the U.S.A. as Mimcochylis fulvotinctana (Walsingham, 1884), new combination and senior synonym of M. planola Razowski, 1985, new synonym. One new species is described in Aethes Billberg, 1820 (i.e., A. triassumenta Pogue, new species), and one new combination (i.e., A. ringsi (Metzler, 2000), new combination, is proposed. Two other new combinations are proposed: Thyraylia wiscana (Kearfott, 1907), new combination, and Eupinivora parotanus (Razowski and Becker, 2010), new combination.

AbstractThe crustose lichen genus Mycoblastus in the Northern Hemisphere includes eight recognized species sharing large, simple ascospores produced 1–2 per ascus in strongly pigmented biatorine apothecia. The monophyly of Mycoblastus and the relationship of its various species to Tephromelataceae have never been studied in detail. Data from ITS rDNA and the genes coding for translation elongation factor 1-α and DNA replication licensing factor mini-chromosome maintenance complex 7 support the distinctness of Mycoblastus s. str. from the core of the Tephromelataceae, but recover M. fucatus and an undescribed Asian species as strongly supported within the latter group. We propose accommodating these two species in a new genus, Violella, which is characterized by its brownish inner ascospore walls, Fucatus-violet hymenial pigment granules and secondary chemistry, and discuss the position of Violella relative to Calvitimela and Tephromela. We describe the new species Violella wangii T. Sprib. & Goffinet to accommodate a new species with roccellic acid from Bhutan, China, India and the Russian Far East. We also exclude Mycoblastus indicus Awasthi & Agarwal from the genus Mycoblastus and propose for it the new combination Malmidea indica (Awasthi & Agarwal) Hafellner & T. Sprib.
