Taxonomic changes of some neotropical species of Arctiini Leach (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae) Author Beccacece, Hernán Mario Author Zapata, Adriana Inés text Zootaxa 2017 4272 3 421 429 journal article 32936 10.11646/zootaxa.4272.3.7 1f75966c-2b88-4148-814c-ace21e8c0d2b 1175-5326 892434 114FC930-2AAF-4BB1-ADF8-CF912E15D74A Agaraea sericeum ( Zerny, 1931 ) comb. n. Recently, a male lectotype of Eucereon sericeum Zerny, 1931 : 25 ; pl. 1, fig. 5 has been designated and illustrated by Pinheiro & Gaal-Haszler (2015) . The habitus and genitalia of the lectotype are certainly not part of a monophyletic concept of Eucereon or even Ctenuchina ( Pinheiro & Gaal-Haszler 2015 ). In fact, morphological traits of lectotype are similar to those of Agaraea longicornis Herrich-Schäffer , [1855], the type species of the genus Agaraea Herrich-Schäffer (illustrated in Vincent & Laguerre, 2014 ). For this reason, the above-mentioned new combination is here proposed. Pinheiro & Gaal-Haszler (2015) also stated that there are three other species closely related to A. sericeum : Eucereon album (Druce) , E. vestalis (Schaus) and Hyaleucerea mundula (Berg) . Further studies are necessary to know if these species really correspond to Agaraea .
