No full textFigure 4. Strict consensus of eight MPCs (Fit = 596.4) obtained from the analysis of combined adult and immature stages data under implied weights. Bremer support and relative Bremer support values of each clade are indicated above and below the branches, respectively. The clade comprising Ve. indica and Ve. pseudomediofaciata has zero Bremer support and should have been shown as collapsed.Published as part of Reinert, John F., Harbach, Ralph E. & Kitching, Ian J., 2004, Phylogeny and classification of Aedini (Diptera: Culicidae), based on morphological characters of all life stages, pp. 289-368 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 142 (3) on page 316, DOI: 10.1111/j.1096-3642.2004.00144.x, http://zenodo.org/record/543245

On the identity of Cechenena aegrota (Butler, 1875) and related species (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae)
No full textThe authors review the taxonomy of the group of species related to Cechenena aegrota (Butler, 1875). They demonstrate that the species in Sundaland, which most authors have referred to by this name, is not this species but a separate taxon, Cechenena chimaera (Rothschild, 1894). True aegrota is a more modest looking insect found further north on mainland Asia, from Sikkim to Vietnam. The habitus, male genitalia and distributions of the two species, together with those of the related Cechenena transpacífica (Clark, 1923), are described and illustrated.The status of the other synonyms of C. aegrota are discussed.Sur l'identité de Cechenena aegrota (Butler, 1875) et des espèces proches (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae). Les auteurs révisent le groupe des espèces apparentées à Cechenena aegrota (Butler, 1875). Ils démontrent que, dans la littérature, ce que la grande majorité des auteurs désignent sous ce nom n'est pas cette espèce, mais C. chimaera (Rothschild, 1894). Le vrai aegrota est un insecte d'allure plus modeste, et volant beaucoup plus au nord, du Sikkim au Vietnam. Les répartitions des deux espèces sont présentées et visualisées sur une carte, les habitus et les génitalia de ces deux taxons ainsi que ceux de l'espèce-sœur de chimaera, C. transpacifica (Clark, 1923), sont illustrés. Les statuts des autres synonymes de C. aegrota sont débattus.Haxaire Jean, Kitching Ian J. On the identity of Cechenena aegrota (Butler, 1875) and related species (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae).

Sphingonaepiopsis Wallengren 1858
No full textSphingonaepiopsis Wallengren, 1858 Sphingonaepiopsis Wallengren, 1858, Oefvers. K. VetenskAkad. Foerh. Stockh. 15: 138. Type species: Sphingonaepiopsis gracilipes Wallengren, 1858, by original designation. The genus Sphingonaepiopsis comprises some of the smallest of all hawkmoths, with wingspans of 25–35 mm. There are currently seven recognized species (Kitching & Cadiou 2000), distributed throughout the Old World. S. gorgoniades and S. kuldjaensis (Graeser 1892) have Palaearctic distributions; the former has been recorded from SE Europe, east to the southern Urals, Afghanistan and NE Tajikistan (possibly reaching as far as Eastern Siberia, see below), and the latter is restricted to the mountains of Central Asia, from NE Afghanistan, through the Tian Shan, to eastern Kazakhstan and NW China. S. ansorgei Rothschild 1904 and S. nana are Afrotropical; the former is restricted to East Africa (from Kenya and Uganda to South Africa), and the latter occurs throughout sub-Saharan Africa, also in the Arabian Peninsula, and is here confirmed for the first time from Iran (see below). S. malgassica Clark 1929 and S. obscurus (Mabille 1880) are endemic to Madagascar, the former restricted to the south of the island, the latter found throughout (Griveaud 1959). Finally, S. pumilio (Boisduval [1875]) is SE Asian, occurring from NE India, through Burma and Thailand, to Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, with populations also in eastern and south-eastern China.Published as part of Kitching, Ian J. & Zahiri, Reza, 2007, Taxonomic notes and new records of the genus Sphingonaepiopsis Wallengren, 1858 (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) in Iran, pp. 41-52 in Zootaxa 1610 on page 41, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17891
