Two New Species of Yponomeutoid Moths (Lepidoptera, Yponomeutidae, Plutellidae) from Madagascar.
Gershenson Z. S. — Rhabdocosma dolini Gershenson, sp. n. (Plutellidae) and Yponomeuta madagas-
cariensis Gershenson, sp. n. (Yponomeutidae) are described. Both genera of these species are recorded

Introduction
The superfamily Yponomeutoidea is one of the most widespread lepidopterous group occurring in al-
most all continents with the moderate, tropical and subtropical climate; the yponomeutoid moths are trophi-
cally connected with 23 plant families (Gershenson, Ulenberg, 1998). However, the taxonomic relationships
within this group of phytophagous Microlepidoptera was not fully investigated till now, and one of the rea-
son is that its fauna out of Palaearctics has not been sufficiently studied yet.
Two new species from Ethiopian Region are described below. Specimens were collected in the light
trap (Petromax petroleum lamp).
The material is deposited in the collection of the Department of General and Applied Entomology,
Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv (SIZK).
Classification follows Heppner (1998).
Rhabdocosma dolini Gershenson, sp. n.
Mat e r i a l e x am in ed. Holotype {, with white label: "Madagascar, Centr. Plateau, Park Perinet,
1200 m, 2–11.12.2000. V. Dolin & R. Andreeva leg." with inscription on the opposite side: "on light";
"Holotypus" (red label with printed text) and "Rhabdocosma dolini Gershenson, sp. n., {, Madagascar"
(handwritten text in black Indian ink on upper side) and "Coll. Inst. Zool., Kiev, Ukraine, gen. praep.
¹294) {" on its opposite side. The abdomen is detached and placed in a plastic microvial with glycerol pin-
ned with the specimen.
De s ñ r i p t i î n. Wingspan 16 mm. Head structure and wing venation as described
for the genus (Meyrick, 1935; Moriuti, 1977). Head, thorax and labial palpus dirtywhi-
te, terminal segment of the latter shorter than middle one, pointed. Tegulae without
dots or spots. Forewings nearly 3 times as long as broad. Both fore- and hindwings mo-
nochromatic, golden-bronze with somewhat darker cilia. Legs white with fuscous scales
on tarsi. Male genitalia (fig. 1). Valva of almond shape, almost twice as long as saccus
and somewhat shorter than aedeagus. Socii broadened, shorter than saccus, each with
one claw at the end. Saccus nearly straight, parallel sided, hooked at the end. Aedeagus
longer than valva, vesica with distinct cornuti resembling stout spines. Anellus with
short hairs. Ñoremata absent.

Female not known.
Rema r k s. Externally similar to Rhabdocosma aglaophanes Meyrick, 1935, rede-
scribed by Moriuti (1977). Thus far, the genus was monotypic.
B i o l o g y. Not known. Larvae of R. aglaophanes, the second species of the genus,
are trophically connected with celastraceous plants (Moriuti, 1977).
E t ymo l o g y. Named after Vladimir G. Dolin, an eminent Ukrainian entomolo-
gist who collected the holotype.

1. Head dirty-white. In male genitalia (fig. 1) valva shorter than aedeagus; saccus twice shorter than
valva and hooked anteriorly. ................................................................ R. dolini Gershenson, sp. n.
— Head purplish-coppery. In male genitalia valva almost as long as aedeagus and more than 3 times
as long as saccus. Saccus slightly bulbous at the anterior end. .................. R. aglaophanes Meyrick

}, det. Z. Gershenson" (on its back side). The abdomen is detached and placed in a plastic microvial with
glycerol pinned with the specimen.
De s c r i p t i o n. Wingspan 18 mm. Head structure and wing venation as described
for the genus (Friese, 1960; Moriuti, 1977; Gershenson, 1990). Head, palpi, antennae

and thorax white. Thorax with five black dots, and one on each tegula. Forewings and
their cilia white with 17 black dots arranged in the irregular rows, wing apex with three
small dots (fig. 2). Hindwings grey with white cilia.
Female genitalia (fig. 3). Membranous folds between papillae anales with small
denticles. Intersegmental sclerite well expressed. Apophyses posteriores somewhat short-
er than apophyses anteriores and less than twice as long as common stem of the last
ones. Dorsal branch of apophyses anteriores less than in 2.5 times shorter than apophy-
ses posteriores.
Male not known.
Rema r k s. Externally similar to Yponomeuta mahalebellus Guenee, 1345, a species
distributed in the southern Europe, differing in the features given in the following key.
This genus is recorded from Madagascar for the first time.
B i o l o g y. Not known. Larvae of the similar species, Y. mahalebellus are trophica-
lly connected with rosaceous plants (Gershenson, Ulenberg, 1998).

The diamond-back moth, Plutella xylostella (Plutellidae) is a cosmopolitan species
now recorded from Madagascar for the first time.
I wish to express my sincere gratitude to V. G. Dolin and R. V. Andreeva (Schmalhausen Institute of
Zoology, NAS of Ukraine, Kyiv) for kindly given opportunity to examine yponomeutoid moths they col-
lected in Madagascar.
