Biology:Afronyctemera
From HandWiki
Afronyctemera is a genus of moths erected by Vladimir Dubatolov in 2006.[1] Its treatment varies by source, from being recognized as a valid genus[2] to a valid subgenus of Nyctemera[3] to being listed as doubtful[4] to not being recognized at all.[5][6]
Species
AfroMoths, treating Afronyctemera as a subgenus, includes four species:[3]
- Nyctemera (Afronyctemera) camerunica (Strand, 1909)
- Nyctemera (Afronyctemera) itokina (Aurivillius, 1904)
- Nyctemera (Afronyctemera) marcida (Swinhoe, 1906)
- Nyctemera (Afronyctemera) plana (Wichgraf, 1921)
When Afronyctemera is treated as a valid genus, it consists of one species that includes the rest of the above as synonyms:[2]
- Afronyctemera itokina (Aurivillius, 1904)
Similarly, the Global Lepidoptera Index treats Afronyctemera itokina (their Nyctemera itokina) as valid and the other taxa mentioned above as its synonyms.[5]
