Review of the genus fibuloides kuznetzov, 1997 (Lepidoptera Tortricidae Eucosmini) in Thailand
Abstract:
The leaf roller moths genus Fibuloides in Thailand is reviewed. The purpose of this study is to classify to species level and make the identification key to species for the genus Fibuloides in Thailand. Deposited Fibuloides specimens in Kasetsart Kamphaeng Saen Insect collection (KKIC) were used and brought to the process of photographing, wing measurement, genitalia preparation and identification. Identification keys to species were made in which species separations were accomplished using the characters of male and female genitalia. The result of this study found 247 Fibuloides specimens that were identified to 15 known species as follows: F. aestuosa, F. bulla, F. bicucullus, F. corinthia, F. cyanopsis, F. euphlebia, F. geniculata, F. japonica, F. khaonanensis, F. khaoyai, F. levatana, F. macrosaris, F. munda, F. tratensis and F. vaneeae. Furthermore, 1 morphospecies of male and 9 morphospecies of female could not be identified to species. In Thailand, the species of this genus were found in elevation between 46-1,412 m above sea level. Fibuloides euphlebia and F. corinthia were found the most in the largest number. This study found the new additional character by a group of protruding long scales on the upper frons in male adult of F. euphlebia that did not showed in original description. In addition, Fibuloides bacriora and Fibuloides falcatus, were discovered and described as new to science. They increase the number of described Fibuloides species in Thailand to 17.
