Taxonomic changes in Synanthedonini from Madagascar, with description of two new genera and species (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) Author Bartsch, Daniel text Zootaxa 2018 2018-06-11 4433 1 174 186 journal article 29930 10.11646/zootaxa.4433.1.11 63a66d44-a2f0-478a-9e74-9c439bf873d6 1175-5326 1287073 DB01DC36-A123-41C3-B870-C73DD35BF6C2 Epitarsipus rufithorax Le Cerf, 1922 comb. rev. Figs 17–19 Lectotype : ♀ , Madagascar , Brickaville [ Ampasimanolotra ], 1917 ( MNHN ). Additional material examined: 1♂ , 1♀ , Madagascar , Reg. sud de l'Ile , Bekily, Sept. [19]33 ( MNHN ) ; 1♀ , S/W Madagascar , 27km N Tollara , 7m , dry forest near Ifaty, 9.- 13.11.2003 , leg. Oelke ( SMNS ) . Epitarsipus rufithorax was described on the basis of a male and a female from Brickaville [Ampasimanolotra] ( Le Cerf 1922 ). Viette (1982) designated the male as the lectotype and the female as a paralectotype . He concluded that the female, which is considerably different, belonged to another species, M. biedermanni (see M. rufescens below). This conclusion was based on the examination of a short series of both sexes of E. rufithorax from “Reg. sud de l'Ile, Bekily” collected in Sept. 1933 , which clearly showed that there is no relevant dimorphism between the sexes.
