Taxonomic revision of the Spilomelinae (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae s. l.) of the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador Author Bernard Landry text Revue suisse de Zoologie 2016 123 2 315 399 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.155309 b195c5ca-7f2b-4f1b-a9a9-c1095c95d012 0035-418 155309 9ED8B8D5-ADA1-4B53-A1D3-0F75F889A179 Desmia Westwood, 1832 Containing 92 species ( Nuss et al ., 2016 ), Desmia is mostly Neotropical, with 82 species described from the region ( Munroe, 1995 ). Species of Desmia harbour similar wing colour and pattern, white markings on a black or dark background (see Figs 12, 13 ). The males and females can exhibit sexual dimorphism in, for example, wing pattern, antennae, and legs. This is a complicated group that is being studied by MAS, and although several genera within Desmia have been discovered, many other new Desmia species have been discovered using mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase I sequences.
