Abstract

The status of Anarta cordigera (Thunberg, 1788), formerly treated as a circumboreal holarctic species, is reassessed in the light of characters of the male vesica and female bursa copulatrix. Populations are arranged in four species: A. cordigera in Europe; A. carbonaria Christoph, 1893 in Siberia and the Far East; A. luteola Grote and Robinson, 1865 in North America; and A. macrostigma Lafontaine and Mikkola, new species, in western North America. Adults and genitalia are illustrated for the four species.

Résumé

Les auteurs réévaluent la situation de Anarta cordigera (Thunberg, 1788), autrefois considérée comme une espèce holarctique circumboréale, compte tenu de certains caractères des vesicas mâles et des bourses copulatrices femelles. Les populations sont réparties en quatre espèces : A. cordigera en Europe; A. carbonaria Christoph, 1873 en Sibérie et en Extrême-Orient; A. luteola Grote et Robinson, 1865 en Amérique du Nord; et A. macrostigma Lafontaine et Mikkola, nouvelle espèce, dans l’ouest de l’Amérique du Nord. Les adultes et les genitalia sont illustrés pour les quatre espèces.
