Description of a new species of Stueningeria Lehmann, 2019 (Lepidoptera, Cossoidea, Metarbelidae) from Kinmen Island of Taiwan

Based on the morphological characters distinct from other congeneric species, we determine the specimens from Kinmen as a species new to science. In addition, "<i>Arbeladea</i>" was often regarded as a timber pest in China and Taiwan. This species, however, has already been transferred to <i>Marcopoloia</i> and restricted to Myanmar. Another pest species, which has been misidentified as "<i>Arbelabaibarana</i>" (a junior synonym of <i>Marcolopoiadiscipuncta</i>) in Chinese literature for long, is actually belonging to <i>Stueningeria</i>. We therefore consider the taxonomic identity of the <i>Stueningeria</i> in southern China needs to be clarified when sufficient specimens and molecular data become available.

Abstract

Based on the morphological characters distinct from other congeneric species, we determine the specimens from Kinmen as a species new to science. In addition, "<i>Arbeladea</i>" was often regarded as a timber pest in China and Taiwan. This species, however, has already been transferred to <i>Marcopoloia</i> and restricted to Myanmar. Another pest species, which has been misidentified as "<i>Arbelabaibarana</i>" (a junior synonym of <i>Marcolopoiadiscipuncta</i>) in Chinese literature for long, is actually belonging to <i>Stueningeria</i>. We therefore consider the taxonomic identity of the <i>Stueningeria</i> in southern China needs to be clarified when sufficient specimens and molecular data become available.
