Schmidt, O. (2001): Australian species of Anachloris Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Geometridae: Larentiinae): taxonomy, musculature of the male genitalia and systematic position

The genus Anachloris Meyrick, containing the species A. subochraria (Doubleday) and A. uncinata (Guenée) is reviewed, and a new species A. tofocolorata sp. n. is described and illustrated. Keys to species and distribution maps, as well as information about the biology of A. uncinata, are provided. The skeletomuscular system of the male genitalia and the structure of the female genitalia of Hydriomena impluviata (Denis and Schiffermüller) from Europe are compared with those of A. subochraria and A. uncinata from Australia, suggesting that Anachloris does not belong to the tribe Hydriomenini. Additional study is necessary to establish its tribal position.

Schmidt, O. (2002): A revision of the genus Chaetolopha Warren (Lepidoptera : Geometridae : Larentiinae) with a description of Parachaetolopha, gen. nov.

The Australasian species associated previously with the geometrid moth genus Chaetolopha Warren are reviewed. Six Australian taxa, including C. oxyntis (Meyrick), C. pseudooxyntis, sp. nov., C. leucophragma (Meyrick), C. decipiens (Butler), C. emporias (Turner) with a synonym Scotocyma pteridophila (Turner), syn. nov. and C. niphosticha (Turner) are assigned to Chaetolopha. Eight Papuan high altitude species associated with Chaetolopha or Tephroclystia (Hübner) in original combination and included later in Chaetolopha are reassigned to a new genus Parachaetolopha, gen. nov. These include P. flavicorpus (Warren), comb. nov., P. coerulescens (Warren), comb. nov., P. turbinata (Prout), comb. nov., P. tafa (Prout), comb. nov., P. ornatipennis (Warren), comb. nov., P. anomala Prout, comb. nov., stat. nov., P. nepenthes (Prout), comb. nov., stat. nov., P. peregrina (Prout), comb. nov., stat. nov., with new species P. petasitruncula, sp. nov., P. ferruginoapex, sp. nov., P. collatisaeta, sp. nov. and P. spinosicornuta, sp. nov. here described. A phylogenetic analysis of Chaetolopha confirms the proposal of the new genus Parachaetolopha. One species associated with Eupithecia Curtis in original combination and included later in Chaetolopha is transferred to the genus Tripteridia Warren. Lectotypes are designated for all Chaetolopha and Parachaetolopha species except for C. niphosticha, P. turbinata, P. tafa, P. anomala, P. peregrina and P. nepenthes, where a holotype was indicated in the original description. Descriptions of the genera Chaetolopha and Parachaetolopha, as well as keys to the species of both genera, are provided. All the known species are redescribed, the new ones are described, and all species are illustrated. Fern feeding in Australian Lepidoptera and vertical distribution of species of Chaetolopha and Parachaetolopha are discussed.

Schmidt, O. (2005): Revision of Scotocyma Turner (Lepidoptera: Geometridae: Larentiinae).

The Australasian genus Scotocyma Turner is revised, containing the species S. albinotata (Walker), S. legalis (Warren), S. asiatica Holloway, S. scotopepla Prout, stat. n., S. manusensis Prout, stat. n., S. mimula (Warren), stat. n., and S. miscix Prout. Scotocyma euryochra Turner, syn. n., S. idioschema Turner, syn. n., S. ischnophrica Turner, syn. n., and S. transfixa Turner, syn. n. are regarded synonyms of S. albinotata. Four species are described as new: S. samoensis, sp. n., S. sumatrensis , sp. n., S. rutilimixta, sp. n., and S. longiuncus, sp. n.Lectotypes are designated for S. scotopepla, S. manusensis, and S. miscix. All species are illustrated, keys to species and distribution maps are provided. A phylogenetic analysis was performed to test the monophyly of the genus and to examine distribution patterns of the species. A biogeographic discussion is included. The tribal position of the genus is clarified and relationships to closely related genera are discussed.

Schmidt, O. (2006). Visiana sordidata (Moore), a complex of species from the Indo-Pacific region (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Larentiinae).

The present study clarifies the taxonomy of the Indo-Pacific species-group Visiana sordidata (Moore), a representative of the geometrid subfamily Larentiinae. Historically, V. sordidata comprised three subspecies: V. s. robinsoni (Prout), V . s. inimica (Prout), and V. s. tamborica (Prout). However, examination of about 80 specimens revealed that all supraspecific taxa should be regarded as distinct species, V. robinsoni, stat. nov., V. inimica, stat. nov., and V. tamborica, stat. nov. Furthermore, the specimens from Borneo (Malaysia) are assigned to a new species, V. hollowayi, spec. nov. The five Visiana species belong to two different species-groups for which the diagnostic characters are defined. Lectotypes are designated for V. sordidata, V. robinsoni, andV. tamborica. The new species, V. hollowayi, is described and illustrated. Redescriptions of V. sordidata, V. robinsoni, V. inimica, and V. tamborica are provided. Figures of adults, genitalia, and tympanal organs of all five species are given.

Schmidt, O. (2006). Australasian genus Scotocyma Turner and the recently described species S. sumatrensis Schmidt (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Larentiinae).

Scotocyma sumatrensis Schmidt represents the Australasian geometrid genus Scotocyma Turner in Sumatra and is the sister species to S. asiatica Holloway from Borneo. Eleven species are known in the genus which belongs in the tribe Xanthorhoini. Colour illustrations of all species are provided; the male and female genitalia of S. sumatrensis and the tympanal organs of eight species are figured. The results of a phylogenetic analysis of the genus using new outgroup taxa are discussed, and a strict consensus tree for the species in Scotocyma is shown.

Schmidt, O. (2007). Description of the male of the north-eastern Australian species Scotocyma rutilimixta Schmidt (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Larentiinae, Xanthorhoini).

The study of specimens deposited in the geometrid moth accessions of the Australian National Insect Collection (CSIRO Entomology, Canberra) resulted in the discovery of the male of the north-eastern Australian larentiine species Scotocyma rutilimixta Schmidt. The male can be distinguished from congeners by the following characters: uncus distally with a medial dorsal keel and a small ventral hook; tegumen narrow, at base with short, weakly sclerotised, serrated lateral arms with moderately developed teeth; valva relatively short. The male is described and the illustrations of adult, wing venation, abdominal characters and genitalia are provided. Additional illustrations of the female are given. A phylogenetic analysis, including the data for the newly described male, revealed close relationship of S. rutilimixta to eastern Papuan species of Scotocyma and confirmed the more distant relationship to S. albinotata, the second known Australian species.
