A faunistic overview of the moth species recorded from Nimbokrang, Papua, Indonesia (Lepidoptera)

Abstract: An attempt is made to start an inventory of the moth fauna of Rhepang forest near Nimbokrang. Among the 135 recorded species, 44 of these can be considered as widely distributed or common, 10 species are considered rare or unexpected. Of these two categories respectively the 15 most common species and 10 rare species are briefly discussed and depicted. This inventory is far from complete, so it should encourage entomologists to do additional research in the near future.
Rangkuman: Suatu upaya dibuat untuk memulai penemuan ngengat di hutan Rhepang dekat Nimbokrang. Diantara 135 spesies yang ditemukan 44 diantaranya termasuk ngengat yang umum dijumpai sedangkan 10 species merupakan spesies jarang atau diluar dugaan ditemukan. Dari dua kategori tersebut berikut ini dideskripsikan secara singkat secara berturut-turut 15 spesies yang umum dijumpai dan 10 spesies yang jarang dijumpai. Penemuan ini masih jauh dari lengkap sehingga diharapkan ahli entomologi melanjutkan penelitian tambahan di masa depan.

Western New Guinea (West Papua and Papua, Indonesia) Riodinidae (Lepidoptera)

Abstract: An overview of the Riodinidae of western New Guinea is given. In particular, the species described by Toxopeus (1944), which have remained largely unknown due to a lack of illustrations, are considered. Type specimens of all species described by Toxopeus are illustrated for better evaluation and comparison with closely related forms. Lectotypes of the following taxa are designated: Dicallaneura amabilis casis Jordan, 1912 and Praetaxila tyrannus tyrannus (Grose-Smith & Kirby, 1897). The following taxa are considered new synonyms: Dicallaneura ribbei cyanandra Toxopeus,1944; D. ostrina ansuna Fruhstorfer, 1914; D. decorata kausambides Toxopeus, 1944; D.decorata parina Fruhstorfer, 1914; D. amabilis praedilecta Toxopeus, 1944; Praetaxila tyrannus polyphemus Toxopeus, 1944 and Praetaxila heterisa auspex Toxopeus, 1944. Praetaxila heterisa (Jordan, 1912) is raised to species rank. In general, the high intra-species variability in Dicallaneura and Praetaxila is striking (which makes it very difficult to distinguish different subspecies) as well as an apparent trend to be mimetic. In P. eromena eromena Jordan, 1912 this becomes very obvious, as females appear in two very distinctive, previously unknown forms.
Rangkuman: Diberikan tinjauan umum tentang Riodinidae New Guinea bagian barat. Secara khusus, spesies yang dideskripsikan oleh Toxopeus (1944), yang sebagian besar masih belum diketahui karena kurangnya ilustrasi. Spesimen tipe dari semua spesies yang dideskripsikan oleh Toxopeus diilustrasikan untuk evaluasi dan perbandingan yang lebih baik dengan bentuk-bentuk yang berkerabat dekat. Lectotype dari spesies berikut ditetapkan: Dicallaneura amabilis casis Jordan, 1912, Praetaxila tyrannus tyrannus (Grose-Smith & Kirby, 1897). Taksa berikut dianggap sinonim baru: Dicallaneura ribbei cyanandra Toxopeus, 1944; D. ostrina ansuna Fruhstorfer, 1914; D. decorata kausambides Toxopeus, 1944; D.decorata parina Fruhstorfer, 1914; D. amabilis praedilecta Toxopeus, 1944; Praetaxila tyrannus polyphemus Toxopeus, 1944; Praetaxila heterisa auspex Toxopeus, 1944. Praetaxila heterisa (Jordan, 1912) dinaikkan ke peringkat spesies. Secara umum, variabilitas intra-spesies yang tinggi pada Dicallaneura dan Praetaxila sangat mencolok (yang membuatnya sangat sulit untuk membedakan subspesies yang berbeda) serta kecenderungan yang jelas dalam meniru. Pada P. eromena eromena Jordan, 1912 ini menjadi sangat jelas, karena betina tampak dalam dua bentuk yang sangat berbeda dan sebelumnya tidak diketahui.

A faunistic overview of the moth species recorded from Yapen Island, Papua, Indonesia (Lepidoptera)

Abstract: In September 2023 an Entomological Survey was held on the Island of Yapen, Papua, Indonesia. An inventory of the moth fauna was made in two weeks.

A complete checklist is presented (table 1),  and the fifteen most common and sixteen rare species are listed separately. The seven most common and ten most rare species are being discussed and depicted.
