Biology:Antarches
From HandWiki
Antarches is a genus of moth in the family Pterophoridae described for Antarches luqueti Gibeaux, 1994 from Madagascar.[1]
Authors have previously treated this genus as a synonym for Megalorhipida based on the appearance of the adult insect and its genitalia,[2] but fuller morphological data indicates that Antarches should remain separate.[3]
Currently, only a single species is assigned to the genus, following recognition in 2010 that both Antarches luqueti and Oxyptilus aguessei Bigot, 1964 match specimens of Oxyptilus tessmanni Strand, 1913.[2]
Species
- Antarches tessmanni (Strand, 1913)
