Abstract

Alidus signatus Pic, 1926 is transferred from Mispila to Souvanna, and Souvanna signata (Pic, 1926), comb. nov. is proposed. The lectotype of Alidus signatus is designated. The following synonyms are proposed: Souvanna signata = Athylia (s. str.) quadristigma (Gressitt, 1940), syn. nov. = Souvanna phoumai Breuning, 1963, syn. nov. = Mispila (Dryusa) coomani Breuning, 1968, syn. nov., Mispila (s. str.) tenuevittata (Pic, 1930) = Mispila (s. str.) assamensis Breuning, 1938, syn. nov. The gender of the holotype of Alidus multilineatus Pic, 1925 is determined. New distributional records for Souvanna signata, Mispila curvilinea Pascoe, 1869, M. subtonkinea Breuning, 1968 and M. tenuevittata are provided.

Key words

Gender definition, lectotype designation, new combination, new faunistic records, synonyms

Introduction

Breuning (1963a) established the monotypic genus Souvanna for Souvanna phoumai from Laos (Vientiane). Pascoe (1864) established the genus Athylia for Athylia avara Pascoe, 1864. Gressitt (1940) described Enispia quadristigma from China (Hainan), and Breuning (1960) transferred it to the genus Athylia Pascoe, 1864. Athylia presently consists of two subgenera: Athylia (s. str.) with 22 species and one subspecies, and Pulchrathylia Breuning, 1964 with two species. All species and subspecies of the above subgenera are distributed in the Oriental Region (Tavakilian and Chevillotte 2023). Breuning (1938, 1968a) described Mispila assamensis from India (Assam) and Mispila (Dryusa) coomani from Vietnam (Tonkin), respectively. Yan et al. (2023) and Xie et al. (2023) revised some species of Mispila Pascoe, 1864. Mispila currently consists of three subgenera: Mispila (s. str.) with 37 species and one subspecies, Dryusa Pascoe, 1864 with six species, and Trichomispila Breuning, 1939 with two species. All species and subspecies of the above subgenera are distributed in East, South, and Southeast Asia, as well as in Oceania (Tavakilian and Chevillotte 2023).

During the study of the genera Souvanna, Athylia, and Mispila, we found that the taxonomic status of Athylia quadristigma, Souvanna phoumai, Mispila coomani, and Mispila assamensis were doubtful; additionally, the gender of the holotype of Alidus multilineatus Pic, 1925 (currently, a junior synonym of Mispila curvilinea Pascoe, 1869) was unknown. Therefore, we studied these issues and report our results here.

Body length

6.5–10.7 mm (♂), 9.6 mm (♀). The gender of the types of Alidus signatus (lectotype), Souvanna phoumai (syntype), and Mispila coomani (holotype) were unknown, so the body length was determined from the types of Enispia quadristigma and additional materials examined.

Comments

Having compared the types of M. signata (Fig. 1A, B), A. quadristigma (Fig. 1D–F, H–J), S. phoumai (Fig. 1L[REMOVED HYPERLINK FIELD]) and M. coomani (Fig. 1M, N), we found that the above four species are identical; thus, we treat A. quadristigma, S. phoumai and M. coomani as junior synonyms of M. signata.

Athylia and Souvanna belong to the tribe Apomecynini, while Mispila belongs to the tribe Pteropliini. According to the key to tribes of Lamiinae and the key to genera of Apomecynini (Rondon and Breuning 1970), the difference between Apomecynini and Pteropliini is that the middle tibiae have an outer groove in front of the apex in Apomecynini and the middle tibiae have no outer groove in front of the apex in Pteropliini. The difference between Athylia and Souvanna is that the eyes are deeply emarginated in Souvanna and subdivided in Athylia. Furthermore, according to Breuning (1964b) and our examined materials, the 3rd antennal joint is longer than the 4th in Athylia, while the 3rd antennal joint is shorter than the 4th in Souvanna. To confirm these differences, we also have examined material of Athylia avara Pascoe, 1864 from the Ternate Island (Indonesia), the type species of Athylia.

After our examination of these materials, we can confirm that this species belongs to the tribe Apomecynini, and, according to the mentioned features, it belongs to the monotypical genus Souvanna.

In the description of Alidus signatus, Pic (1926) mentioned “Long. 7–9 mill”, which indicates that Pic examined at least two specimens; thus, we designate syntype examined by us (Fig. 1A, B) as the lectotype following the recommendations of ICZN (1999; Art. 74.7).

Comments

In the original description of A. multilineatus, Pic (1925) did not mention the gender of the holotype. Breuning (1963b: 475) treated it as a junior synonym of M. curvilinea and provided a supplementary description of this species, including the sexual differences: “antennae are more than 0.5 time longer than body in males, antennae are slightly shorter than body in females.” According to above characters and the material examined, we could confirm that the holotype of A. multilineatus is a male.

Comments

After having compared the holotypes of Mispila tenuevittata (Fig. 6A, B) and M. assamensis (Fig. 6D–G), we found that both holotypes are identical, except for the different genders. Thus, we treat M. assamensis as a junior synonym of M. tenuevittata. Yan et al. (2023) marked the holotype of M. tenuevittata as a female in the legend, while they considered it as a male in the comments.
