A Generic Classification of the Subfamily Arctiinae of the Palaearctic and Oriental Regions based on the Male and Female Genitalia (Lepidoptera, Arctiidae) Part I

Abstract

The Palaearctic and Oriental genera of the subfamily Arctiinae are revised and the generic diagnoses based on the male and female genitalia are given. The generic grouping is discussed and six genus groups, i.e., Ameria, Utetheisa, Callimorpha, Arctia, Rhyparioides and Spilarctia groups are proposed. In this part one new genus, Aglaomorpha, of the Callimorpha genus group is erected.
