Catatinagma
Rebel, 1903
stat. rev.
Coloptilia
Fletcher, 1940
, syn. n.
The moths belonging to
Catatinagma
have a characteristic head with an extended frontal part in the middle of which is a miniature crater-like structure (Figs. 2–3). Other characteristics for the genus are the following: short and almost straight labial palps, and abdominal tergal segment I with a broad, rectangular, strongly sclerotized plate. In the male genitalia, the sacculus is distinctly separated from the valva, the gnathos is reduced, the aedeagus is more or less stout and gradually tapered, and the uncus is membranous. In the female genitalia there is usually a pair of brush-shaped signa in the bursa. On the forewings of the moths there are rather distinct dark spots.
Catatinagma trivittellum
Rebel, 1903
comb. rev. and
Catatinagma conchylidella
(O. Hofmann, 1898)
comb. nov.
are transferred to
Catatinagma
, the former from
Apatetris
Staudinger, 1879
and the latter from the monotypic
Coloptilia
Fletcher, 1940
.
C. trivittellum
is the
type
species of
Catatinagma
. Another species belonging to
Catatinagma
is described below. All three of these species share typical head and genitalic characteristics of
Catatinagma
(see
Table 1
). The combination
Catatinagma trivittellum
Rebel, 1903
was already used in
Fauna Europaea
by
Karsholt (2004)
, which is only available on the internet and thus not valid for nomenclatorial acts (ICZN 1999).
