Ordo: Lepidoptera
Familia: Erebidae
Genus: Argyrostrotis
Name
Argyrostrotis anilis (Drury, 1773) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Phalaena anilis Drury, 1773: 21, pl. 12, fig. 21.
- Agronomia sequistriaris Hübner, [1831]: 10, pl. [73], figs 419, 420.
Type material
The type specimen of Phalaena anilis is lost, but the illustration in Drury (1773)[1] is diagnostic, as are those of Agronomia sequistriaris in Hübner, [1831].
Distribution
Southern Canada (Quebec to Saskatchewan) south to Florida and Texas.
Excluded species Three species included in Argyrostrotis by Poole (1989)[2] are hereby excluded from the genus.
Argyrostrotis eurysaces Schaus, 1914 is hereby transferred to the genus Argyrosticta Hübner, [1821] as Argyrosticta eurysaces (Schaus, 1914), comb. n. [Noctuidae: Bagisarinae]. The two genera are not closely related and the association was more likely an error in confusing the two similar generic names by Schaus than an intended placement in Argyrostrotis.
Argyrostrotis quadrata Dognin, 1910 is hereby transferred to the genus Heterochroma Guenée as Heterochroma quadrata (Dognin, 1910), comb. n. [Noctuidae: Amphipyrinae].
Celiptera surrufula Dyar, 1913, included in Argyrostrotis by Hampson (1913)[3] and maintained there by Poole (1989)[2], is hereby transferred to the genus Ptichodis Hübner, 1818 as Ptichodis surrufula (Dyar, 1913), comb. n. [Erebidae: Erebinae: Euclidiini].
