Abstract

The non-Palaearctic species of the genus Phthitia Enderlein are revised, including descriptions of 30 species, of which 19 are described as new by the first author: P. antillensis, P. bicalyx, P. cercipilus, P. mulroneyi, P. digiseta, P. digistylus, P. lineasterna, P. lobocercus, P. luteocercus, P. luteofrons, P. megocula, P. merida, P. nigrifacies, P. notthomasi, P. obunca, P. occimosa, P. ovicercus, P. quadricercus, and P. spinicalyx. The genera Kimosina Roháček and Aubertinia Richards are newly placed in synonymy with Phthitia, and the following new combinations are given for species previously in Kimosina: Phthitia chilenica (Duda), P. antipoda (Roháček), P. rennelli (Harrison), P. thomasi (Harrison), P. empirica (Hutton), P. levigena (Spuler), P. plumosula (Rondani), P. spinosa (Collin), P. pappi (Roháček), P. glabrescens (Villeneuve), P. ciliata (Duda), P. longisetosa (Dahl), P. sicana (Munari), P. soikai (Munari), and Archicollinella dolichoptera (Richards). Phthitia sanctaehelenae (Richards) is given as a new combination for Aubertinia sanctaehelenae Richards. Limosina phycophila Richards is a new junior synonym of Archicollinella caerulea (Duda). A key, illustrations, descriptions of adults, distribution maps, and a phylogeny are provided for all New World and Pacific species. The puparium of P. empirica is described. A lectotype is designated for P. chilenica.

Résumé

Les espèces non paléarctiques du genre Phthitia Enderlein ont fait l'objet d'une révision; on trouvera ici la description de 30 espèces, dont 19 nouvelles décrites par le premier auteur : P. antillensis, P. bicalyx, P. cercipilus, P. mulroneyi, P. digiseta, P. digistylus, P. lineasterna, P. lobocercus, P. luteocercus, P. luteofrons, P. megocula, P. merida, P. nigrifacies, P. notthomasi, P. obunca, P. occimosa, P. ovicercus, P. quadricercus et P. spinicalyx. Les genres Kimosina Roháček et Aubertinia Richards sont déclarés synonymes de Phthitia, ce qui donne lieu à des combinaisons nouvelles; d'anciennes espèces de Kimosina deviennent : Phthitia chilenica (Duda), P. antipoda (Roháček), P. rennelli (Harrison), P. thomasi (Harrison), P. empirica (Hutton), P. levigena (Spuler), P. plumosula (Rondani), P. spinosa (Collin), P. pappi (Roháček), P. glabrescens (Villeneuve), P. ciliata (Duda), P. longisetosa (Dahl), P. sicana (Munari), P. soikai (Munari) et Archicollinella dolichoptera (Richards). Aubertinia sanctaehelenae Richards devient, selon la nouvelle combinaison, Phthitia sanctaehelenae (Richards). Limosina phycophila Richards est déclaré nouveau synonyme d'Archicollinella caerulea (Duda). Les adultes de toutes les espèces du Nouveau Monde et du Pacifique sont décrits et illustrés; une clé permettra de les identifier; les espèces sont regroupées selon une phylogénie et des cartes de leurs répartitions respectives sont présentées. On trouvera une description du puparium de P. empirica. Un lectotype de l'espèce P. chilenica a été choisi. [Traduit par la rédaction]
