Abstract

The genus Dahlica Enderlein, 1912 is reported for the first time from Korea with two new species: Dahlica (Dahlica) somae Roh & Byun, sp. n. and Dahlica (Dahlica) ochrostigma Roh & Byun, sp. n. Adults and genitalia are illustrated, and DNA barcodes for precise identification of the species are also provided.

Introduction

The family Psychidae is a medium-sized family of moths consisting of 241 named genera and 1,350 species (Sobczyk 2011; van Nieukerken et al. 2011). Phylogenetically, Psychidae belong to the oldest clades of the suborder Ditrysia in the order Lepidoptera, and have usually been placed in the superfamily Tineoidea (Davis and Robinson 1998), with Eriocottidae, Tineidae, Meessiidae, and Dryadaulidae as phylogenetically allied groups (Mutanen et al. 2010; Regier et al. 2015). Most species of Psychidae produce characteristic cases or bags at different larval stages (Sugimoto 2009a, 2009b), which gives rise to their common name, bagworms. Parthenogenesis is known in several species of the genus Dahlica Enderlein, 1912 in the Naryciinae (Grapputo et al. 2005; Elzinga et al. 2013). Identification of these species and classification of the females based on morphological and ecological characters alone is difficult (Grapputo et al. 2005; Elzinga et al. 2013). In Korea, Roh et al. (2016) reviewed the nine known species including a new species, Psyche yeongwolensis Byun & Roh, 2016 and recorded a species new for the country, Proutia maculatella Saigusa & Sugimoto, 2014. Later, Roh and Byun (2016) recorded Ceratosticha leptodeta Meyrick, 1935 new for Korea. Recently, three more species were reported: Bacotia sakabei Seino, 1981, (Roh and Byun 2017a), Bruandella niphonica (Hori, 1926), and Proutia nigra Saigusa & Sugimoto, 2014 (Roh and Byun 2017b). Consequently, 13 species in total are now known from Korea.

The genus Dahlica was based on the type species Dahlica larviformis Enderlein, 1912 by Enderlein in 1912 (Sobczyk 2011). The members of Dahlica are superficially similar to Siederia Meier, 1957 (Grapputo et al. 2005), but can be distinguished from the latter by the absence of an epiphysis on the fore-tibia of the male (Herrmann 1988; Herrmann and Weidlich 1999; Rekelj et al. 2014; Arnscheid 2016), the absence of the medial cell in the fore- and hindwings, presence of accessory cells, and six veins arising from the discoidal cell of the hindwing (Rekelj and Predovnik 2014).

Meier (1958) and Sieder (1953) proposed to divide Dahlica in various subgenera, which were later raised to genus. Recently Arnscheid and Weidlich (2017) reviewed the five allied genera, Dahlica, Siederia, Brevantennia Sieder, 1953, Postsolenobia Meyer, 1958, and Praesolenobia Sieder, 1955, and decided on the basis of the venation of the male hindwings, male forewing scale morphology, presence of an epiphysis in the males, the structure of reproductive organs, and the female antennae to sank these genera again as subgenera of Dahlica. They diagnosed the subgenus Dahlica by the following characters: the absence of an epiphysis, presence of six veins from the hindwing discal cell, and the long female antennae, with more than eleven segments (Arnscheid and Weidlich 2017).

Females of the genus Dahlica are unable to fly because of their degenerate wings (Sauter and Hättenschwiler 1999). The larvae feed on moss, algae, and lichens, which are attached to walls or the bark of trees via a sac constructed of small sand particles (Sauter and Hättenschwiler 1999; Sugimoto 2009a; Arnscheid and Weidlich 2017).

In total, 42 species of the subgenus Dahlica have been reported worldwide and are distributed throughout the Palaearctic region in Europe (41 species) and Asia (one species) (Sobczyk 2011; Arnscheid and Weidlich 2017).

In this study, Dahlica (Dahlica) somae sp. n. and D. (D.) ochrostigma sp. n. are described as new species and the genus Dahlica is reported for the first time from Korea. All available information is presented, including the collection locations, micro-habitats, and illustrations of adults and their genitalia. DNA barcodes are also provided for precise identification of each species.

Materials and methods

The material examined in this study is preserved in the Systematic Entomology Laboratory, Hannam University (SEL/HNU), Daejeon, Korea, and the Entomological Collection of the Korea National Arboretum, Pocheon, Korea (KNAE). Specimens were dissected and examined after mounting on slide glass; male genitalia and wing scales in 80 % glycerol solution, females in euparal solution and wing venation on dried condition. Photographs of adults and genitalia were taken using a PAXcam digital camera (PAXcam Microscope Cameras Co., Chicago, IL, USA) attached to a Carl Zeiss Axio Imager A1 microscope (Carl Zeiss Ltd., Cambridge, MA, USA).

Terminology and morphological characters of the adult, wing venation, and genitalia follows Dierl (1964), Kristensen (2003), and Arnscheid and Weidlich (2017) (Figs 1–4) and the terminology for forewing scales (class 1 to 6) follows Sauter (1956). The set-up of the data matrix for morphological characters of the genus Dahlica follows Arnscheid (2016) (Table 2).

Genomic DNA was extracted from the legs of dried specimen for males and thorax parts of immersion specimen for females, preserved in 100% alcohol using a Genomic Cell/Tissue Spin Mini Kit (Mbiotech, Inc., Hanam, Korea), according to the manufacturer’s protocol. A total of six specimens were sequenced for, the 658 bp fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene, the DNA barcode, was amplified using the primer pair LepF1 and LepR1 (Hebert et al. 2004). PCR conditions for amplification followed the manufacturer’s protocol (Platinum Taq, Invitrogen, Carlsbad City, CA, USA). Amplicons were purified using the QIAquick® PCR purification kit (QIAGEN, Inc.) and directly sequenced at Genotech Corp. (Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Korea). Contigs were assembled using CodonCode aligner version 2.0.6 (CodonCode Co., Centerville City, MA, USA) and were aligned using MAFFT (Katoh and Toh 2008).

The new barcodes were compared to 18 DNA barcodes of the genera Dahlica and Narycia downloaded from GenBank (National Center for Biotechnology Information, USA, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) (Table 1). A neighbor-joining (NJ) analysis was performed with MEGA 6.0 (Tamura et al 2013) under the K2P model for nucleotide substitutions. Successful sequences were uploaded to BOLD systems (project. KNAE) and submitted to GenBank (Table 1).

Diagnosis

Male of this species is superficially similar to D. triquetrella (Hübner, 1813), but can be distinguished by a slightly longer transtilla and a relatively short ampulla of the male genitalia (lateral aspect). This species can be readily differentiated by the veins of the male hindwing; M2 and M3 originate at the apical corner of the posterior part of the discoidal cell. Female apophyses posteriores 1.75 times longer than apophyses anteriores.

DNA barcode

DNA barcode sequences were generated from three individuals (Table 1). Multiple alignments using the BLAST tool in the NCBI database showed the following species as nearest neighbor, Dahlica charlottae with a similarity between 96 and 94%.

Etymology

The specific name is derived from the Greek words ochro and stigma (= pale spots), referring to the forewing pattern.

Discussion

The taxonomy of Dahlica has until recently been confusing owing to the similar morphology of the species in this genus and those in the allied genera Siederia, Postsolenobia, Brevantennia, and Praesolenobia. The proposal by Arnscheid and Weidlich (2017) to treat all these as subgenera of Dahlica has partly solved this problem. In this study, two new Korean species of Dahlica were reported for the first time with COI barcodes (Table 1). The results of comparison with related taxa, including subgenera of Dahlica, revealed no distinct differences (Fig. 36). Therefore, the taxonomic positions of the species in genus Dahlica needs to be redefined through future systematic studies with additional samples.

A Neighbor-joining tree, generated under the Kimura 2 parameter model (MEGA 6, Tamura et al. 2013) for the species of genera Dahlica and Narycia (DNA barcode data from NCBI). Branch lengths represent the number of substitutions per site as percentage.

Most species of the genus Dahlica have been reported from Europe (48 species) to date, only one species, D. (D.) parthenogenesis Saigusa, 1961 was collected in Japan (Saigusa 1961). Thus, the two new species described in this study represent the first records for continental East Asia and serve as important basic data for future research on this genus and allied taxa in Asia.
