A synopsis of Mythimna (Sablia) griseofasciata (Moore) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Hadeninae) and a close relative with a new replacement name

Abstract

Leucania irrorata Moore, 1888 is considered to be a good species distinct from Mythimna griseofasciata (Moore, 1881). As the former becomes a junior secondary homonym of Mythimna irrorata (Moore, 1881) (=Axylia irrorata Moore, 1881), a new replacement name, Mythimna decipiens, is proposed for it. The male and female genitalia of these two species are illustrated and described.
