Review of the genus Carriola Swinhoe, 1922 (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Lymantriinae), with descriptions of four new species

Abstract

The genus Carriola Swinhoe, 1922, which is considered a recent synonym of Arctornis Germar, 1810, is revised on the basis of the wing pattern, the absence of abdominal tymbal organs and the genitalia of both sexes. Diagnostic and faunistic data are provided for the five known species previously classified as Carriola. In addition, four new species are described: C. witti sp. nov. from Borneo, C. polyakovi sp. nov., C. shorokhovi sp. nov., and C. zolotuhini sp. nov. from the Philippines. Comparative diagnoses, illustrations of external characters, including male and female genitalia, and information on distribution are provided for all species.
