| The dissertation focuses on the taxonomic study of the family Tineidae from China. In the general part, the research history and the current status of the family are summarized, and the general morphology is presented by using SEM (scanning electron microscope) technique and whole body dissection methods. In the systematic part, the background of each subfamily is overviewed with introduction of morphological characters and information of geographical distribution as well as descriptions of each available genus and species; the phylogenetic analysis of the subfamily Euplocaminae and the genus Edosa Walker are carried out respectively by using WinClada based on morphological characters. Geographical distribution of genera and species of each subfamily are given by using DIVA-GIS.One hundred and twenty-six species in24genera under nine subfamilies and one unattributed group are recorded from China. One hundred species are described in detail based on the available specimens, including two new genera,62new species,1newly recorded subfamily, seven newly recorded genera, and11newly recorded species; two new combinations are proposed.The subfamily Dryadaulinae and the genus Dryadaula Meyrick,1893are newly recorded from China. Dryadaula ascidiformis sp. nov. and D. hebephylla sp. nov. are described as new.The subfamily Erechthiinae is represented by one genus Erechthias Meyrick,1880from China.14species in this genus are recorded, eight of which are new to science:E. argentea sp. nov., E. flavicosta sp. nov., E. ovalis sp. nov., E. paraminuscula sp. nov., E. pavoplumata sp. nov., E. punctata sp. nov., E. scrobilla sp. nov., E. serrata sp. nov., and one of which is newly recorded for China, E. inclinata (Meyrick,1921).Eleven species in three genera are recorded in the subfamily Euplocaminae, including one new genus, five new species, two new combinations and first description of one female. Phylogenetic analysis of this subfamily is carried out by using WinClada based on the morphological characters. Neopsecadioides gen. nov. is established, including two new species:N. confluensa sp. nov. and N. selliformis sp. nov.; the taxonomy of Euplocamus Latreille,1809and Psecadioides Butler,1881are discussed; three new species, P. digitata sp. nov., P. lunaris sp. nov. and P. truncata sp. nov., are described; Psecadioides charadropis (Meyrick,1934), comb. nov. and Psecadioides melanchrodes (Meyrick,1916), comb. nov. are transferred from Euplocamus; the female of P. cuneus Huang, Hirowatari&Wang,2010is described for the first time.Three species in three genera are recorded in the subfamily Hapsiferinae. Agorarcha Meyrick,1925and A. illapsa Meyrick,1925are newly reported from China. Two species in two genera are recorded in the subfamily Harmacloninae. Micrerethista Meyrick,1938and M. denticulata Davis,1998are newly recorded for the Chinese fauna.Twenty-three species in three genera are recorded in the subfamily Hieroxestinae. Among them, Opogona bella sp. nov.and O. cuprfasciaria sp. nov. are described as new to science; Ten superficially similar species, Opogona sp.1-10, are described as unidentified species due to the unavailability of the genitalia structures of some closely related species.Ten species in two genera are treated in the subfamily Nemapogoninae. The genus Archinemapogon Zagulajev,1962is newly recorded from China. Archinemapogon delitescens sp. nov. and Nemapogon arcuata sp. nov. are described as new to science.The subfamily Perissomasticinae is represented by one genus Edosa Walker,1866. Thirty-one species are recorded, among which24are described as new (Edosa aurea sp. nov., E. baculiformis sp. nov., E. bicolor sp. nov., E. bifurcata sp. nov., E. carinata sp. nov., E. conchata sp. nov., E. cornuta sp. nov., E. curvidorsalis sp. nov., E. dentata sp. nov., E. digitata sp. nov., E. duoprojecta sp. nov., E. elongata sp. nov., E. eminens sp. nov., E. hamata sp. nov., E. longicornis sp. nov., E. minuta sp. nov., E. robinsoni sp. nov., E. robustispina sp. nov., E. semicircularis sp. nov., E. torta sp. nov., E. trilobata sp. nov., E. truncatula sp. nov., E. uncusella sp. nov. and E. varians sp. nov.); three are newly recorded from China (E. hendrixella Robinson,2008, E. crayella Robinson,2008and E. smithaella Robinson,2008); and the female of E. hendrixella is firstly described. A phylogenetic analysis of the genus is carried out by using WinClada based on the morphological characters. According to the results, seven species-groups are proposed:the hemichrysella-gvoup, the subochraceella-group, the pyrochra-group, the duoprojecta-group, the eminens-group, the crayella-group and the uncusella-group.Fourteen species in four genera are described in the subfamily Scardiinae. Among them, Amorophaga Zagulajev,1968and A. japonica Robinson,1986are reported for the first time from China; Morophaga Herrich-Schaffer,1853includes one new species M. bipartita sp. nov. and one newly recored species M. fasciculata Robinson,1986; Morophagoides Petersen,1957includes one newly recorded species, M. ussuriensis (Caradja,1920); Tmissa Walker,1864includes five new species (published):T. apicimaculata Yang&Li,2012, T. conchata Yang&Li,2012, T. connata Yang&Li,2012, T. leguminella Yang&Li,2012, T. spirella Yang&Li,2012, and one newly recorded species (published):T. insularia Robinson,1976.Of290species in one hundred and six genera that are unattributed to any subfamily,14species in six genera are recorded in China. This section includes one new genus, Bipectinata gen. nov. and its type species Bipectinata peculiaris sp. nov.; one newly recorded genus Pelecystola Meyrick,1920and the newly recorded species P. strigosa Moore,1888; the genus Thisizima Walker,1864is also newly recorded from China, with descriptions of two new species (published):T.fasciaria Yang, Li&Kendrick,2012and T. subceratella Yang, Li&Kendrick,2012.All the specimens, including the type specimens, are deposited in the Insect Collection, College of Life Sciences, Nankai University, Tianjin, China. |
