The genus Hyda (type species H. micacea Mabille, 1889, a junior synonym of Sarangesa tertullianus Fabricius, 1793) is a junior homonym of Hyda Walker, 1854 (a moth genus in Arctiinae). Conventionally placed in Sarangesa: Holland (1896) [subgenus Hyda] Aurivillius [in Seitz] (1925); Evans (1937); Larsen (2005).Published as part of Larsen, Torben B. & Congdon, Colin E., 2011, Triskelionia, a new African genus of the Celaenorrhinini (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) and the promotion of T. compacta to species-status., pp. 53-58 in Zootaxa 2931 on page 54, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27805
Ceratricula semilutea subsp. indeterminabilis Strand 1912, comb. nov.
No full textCeratricula semilutea indeterminabilis (Strand, 1912) comb. nov., stat. rev. Ceratrichia indeterminabilis Strand, 1912. Archiv für Naturgeschichte 78 (A. 9.): 110 (92–111). Type locality. Cameroun: “Alen”. Type depository: not traced.downgraded to junior synonym of C. semilutea by Evans (1937). This is generally a larger subspecies (13.5–15.0 mm) that differs from the nominate in the stronger white forewing spotting, interposed between the two smaller subspecies. Normally there is an upper cell-spot, three subapical spots that are in line, and spots in 3, 2, and 1 b, usually much larger than in the other subspecies. The hindwing has a broadly black costa and the yellow area is of a more insipid tone than in the nominate. The forewing underside has more subapical ochreous scaling than the nominate, though less than in ssp. congdoni. The hindwing underside shares the tone of yellowish-beige, lighter than on the upperside, and much less yellow than in the nominate. There is a brown patch at the end of the cell, another at the middle of space 1 b, and one at the tornal angle (see figure 4). The hindwing underside is basically similar to ssp. congdoni; these two subspecies appear more closely related to each other than either is to ssp. semilutea. There are records from the forests of Cameroun, Gabon, the Central African Republic, and westernmost parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo (Kinshasa), it must be in the Congo Republic as well. No Angolan material was located. There seems to be some degree of transition to ssp. congdoni between the Central African Republic and Kisangani, but hardly any material is available from that area.Published as part of Larsen, Torben B., 2013, Ceratricula and Flandria — two new genera of Afrotropical Hesperiidae (Hesperiinae (incertae sedis )) for species currently placed in the genus Ceratrichia Butler, pp. 476-488 in Zootaxa 3666 (4) on page 483, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3666.4.4, http://zenodo.org/record/22385
Ceratricula semilutea subsp. semilutea Mabille 1891, comb. nov.
No full textCeratricula semilutea semilutea (Mabille, 1891) comb. nov. Ceratrichia semilutea Mabille, 1891. Bulletin de la Société Entomologique de Belgique 35: 65 (59–88, 106 – 121, 168–187). Type locality. Nigeria: “Lagos en Afrique”. Type depository: not located. The nominate subspecies is small (13 mm) with limited white spotting on the black forewing, sometimes completely missing, though tiny spots in some of spaces 6, 3, 2, and/or in the cell are not unusual. Very rarely there may be three subapical spots. The hindwing is bright yellow, with a black costa, almost as vivid in tone as in Ceratrichia phocion, where the two other subspecies are more insipid. The forewing underside is black with little or no ochreous scaling in the subapical area. The hindwing underside is much brighter yellow than in the two other subspecies and with fewer brown markings; there is no large brown spot at the end of the cell (the specimen illustrated has more dark spotting than usual—figure 4). Two specimens from Rhoko in the Oban Hills collected by Robert Warren are very small and have the yellow hindwing colour more insipid than material from west of the Niger River. There are records from the mountains of Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Nigeria as far east as the Cameroun border. It is local and not very common. I have seen no really transitional forms to ssp. indeterminabilis, but they may occur in the extreme west of Cameroun.Published as part of Larsen, Torben B., 2013, Ceratricula and Flandria — two new genera of Afrotropical Hesperiidae (Hesperiinae (incertae sedis )) for species currently placed in the genus Ceratrichia Butler, pp. 476-488 in Zootaxa 3666 (4) on page 483, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3666.4.4, http://zenodo.org/record/22385
