摘要:

本文总结了2020年国内外学者发表的中国鳞翅目新分类单元的情况。经过统计, 2020年中国共发表鳞翅目新分类群196个, 其中新属1个, 新种190个, 新亚种5个; 发表国家级新记录71个; 发表新组合55个; 将11个名称处理为9个名称的异名; 新种(亚种)分别隶属于23个科。海南和云南两省发表的新物种数明显高于其他地区, 占全国新物种发表总数的2/5; 新记录种发表最多的地区为云南, 占全国新记录种总数的约1/2。整体来看, 我国南方新物种和新记录种发表数量明显高于北方。

Abstract

Aim: Lepidoptera is one of the largest orders in Insecta and is a group with high economic importance as many pest species of Lepidoptera occur all over the world. China is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, as it ranges from the Palaearctic to Oriental Regions, and many species new to science are described each year. The aim of this study is to summarize the new taxa of Lepidoptera from China that were reported in 2020.

Methods: Information regarding new species, newly recorded species, and new synonyms and combinations were collected from several common journals of taxonomy and monographs. In total, 102 articles and 3 monographs are included in this report. From these sources, the scientific names, type localities, and the other relevant information have been summarized.

Results: The number of new taxa of Chinese Lepidoptera published by domestic and foreign researchers in 2020 has been summarized. In 2020, 196 new taxa of Lepidoptera were reported, including 1 new genus, 190 new species, 5 new subspecies, and 71 newly recorded species for China. Additionally, 55 new combinations and 11 new synonyms have been suggested. All of the new species and subspecies belong to 23 families.

Conclusions: The number of new species published in Hainan and Yunnan was significantly higher than that in other regions and accounted for two-fifths of the total number of new species published in China in 2020. Yunnan Province had the highest number of newly recorded species for a region in China and accounted for about half of the total number of newly recorded species in China. In general, the number of new species and newly recorded species collected in the south are significantly higher than those in north of China. Moreover, the discovery and description of all Lepidoptera species in China are far from completed, and further investigation of Lepidoptera in China is necessary.
