Studies on the Crambidae (Lepidoptera). Part 41. On Some Tropical Crambidae with Descriptions of the New Genera and Species
Abstract:
The present paper includes descriptions of seven new genera and twenty-five new species. Most of these come from the Neotropical Region. Several species of the genus Crambus F. are transferred to some of the newly described genera. This is only a small contribution to the knowledge of the Neotropical Crambidae which still are in a great chaos being in need of thorough revision. Many species are in need to be placed in genera of their own. These genera show only slight relationship to those from other regions. Besides the new species described here, the material examined contains many other new species, however, they are represented in most instances by single specimens, often in bad condition. They are not described here not to introduce more confusion than clarification. The respective descriptions will be published after discovery of more material.
