Strong sexual dimorphism unraveled by DNA analysis - towards a better understanding of Pseudothyretes classification (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae) Author Przybyłowicz, Łukasz Author Tarcz, Sebastian text Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 2015 2015-01-16 173 1 22 54 http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/zoj.12198 journal article 10.1111/zoj.12198 0024-4082 5331070 PSEUDOTHYRETES MARIAE DUFRANE, 1945: 127 Type material Holotype : ( DRC ) ‘Kamituga, 15.10.39, M. Fontaine’ ( KBIN ). Biology Unknown. Distribution This taxon is known only from the type locality in eastern DRC . Molecular variation Unknown, and not investigated. Remarks Pseudothyretes mariae most probably represents one of the already known taxa. Considering the general distribution, it is least probable that it is the female of P. obscurus sp. nov. or P. nigrita , although even this possibility cannot be definitely rejected. Despite numerous requests to obtain the holotype for study we were told that it was on loan and unobtainable.
