Notes on the Indo-Australian genus Ziridava Walker (Lepidoptera: Geometridae Larentiinae), with description of two new species Author Schmidt, Olga SNSB-Zoologische Staatssammlung München, Münchhausenstrasse 21, 81247, Munich, Germany Author Tautel, Claude Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, 45 rue Buffon, 75005 Paris, France text Zootaxa 2022 2022-02-17 5100 1 105 118 journal article 20606 10.11646/zootaxa.5100.1.5 8b5e5ff3-8083-4d14-bb49-64e95cf6d2ce 1175-5326 6127824 616C2F65-4D82-4643-BD97-EE096BDB7060 Ziridava xylinaria Walker, [1863] . Syntype (s) female(s), Malaysia , Borneo, Sarawak (Oxford University Museum of Natural History) (not examined). Morphological characters were discussed by Holloway (1982 , 1997 ). The following taxa are included: Ziridava xylinaria subrubida Warren, 1897 , Chloroclystis leptomita Turner, 1907 , and Ziridava xylinaria subaequata Prout, 1929 (see Holloway 1997 ). Holloway (1979) assigned the specimens from New Caledonia to Ziridava xylinaria , with a note that the aedeagus vesica and the apex of the New Caledonian male were more thickly scobinate than in typical xylinaria from Sarawak . Chloroclystis leptomita Turner, 1907 . Syntypes male, female, Australia , Queensland (north), Kuranda (ANIC) (adults resemble Z. xylinaria , genitalia not examined). Ziridava xylinaria subaequata Prout, 1929 . Holotype female, Indonesia , Seram (central), Maluku , Manusela (slide Geom:11261HT-JDH, examined) (NHM). Ziridava xylinaria subrubida Warren, 1897 . Holotype male, Indonesia , Sulawesi (south) (slide Geom:11254HT- JDH, examined) (NHM). Geographical range. Borneo: Sarawak ( type locality), Sumatra , Sulawesi ( ssp. subrubida ), Moluccas ( ssp. subaequata ), New Guinea , Queensland ( ssp. leptomita ); Vanuatu and New Caledonia (lowland to upper montane) (see Holloway 1982 , 1997 ). Note. Scoble (1999) treated the three subspecies of xylinaria as synonyms. The Ziridava xylinaria -group needs a further revision as not all the type specimens have been examined so far. Specimens formerly treated as Ziridava xylinaria from New Caledonia (see Holloway 1979 ) may possibly belong to another species.
