New Species,New Subspecies and New Records of Butterflies(Lepidoptera:Satyridae)from China(V)

The members of the family Satyridae are usually medium sized or small sized butterflies. The wings are usually dull brown. They usually are not attracted by collectors.. Wu Chenfu (1938) listed 224 species of Satyridae in China in "Catalogus Insectorum Sinensium". Li Chuanlong (1958) counted up 246 species in China. Chou Io et al (1994) recorded 212 species in "Monographia Rhopalocerorum Sinensium". Huang Renxin(2000) added 32 known species in "Butterfly of Xinjiang". The present paper deals with descriptions of 6 new species, 3 new subspecies, 1 new state, 1 new combination, 6 new record species of Satyridae from China and reports 14 known species, which were not included in "Monographia Rhopalocerorum Sinensium" and "The Butterflies of Xinjiang". All the type specimens are kept in the Entomological Museum, Northwest Sci Tech University of Agriculture and Forestry. 1. Cyllogenes nigrimaculata (Chou et Qi), comb. nov.(Figs. 1～2) Melanitits nigrimaculata Chou et Qi, Entomological Journal of East China , 1999, 8(2): 6. This species originally was described in the genus Melanitits , but now is revised to belong to the genus Cyllogenes . It is smilar to C. suradeva Moore, but is distinguishable from the latter in: 1) Fore wings without orange arched macula at apex on upperside, apical outer margin evidently protrude; 2) In hind wings outer margin little protrude, underside with a white faded area, without a dark median cross band. Specimen examined: holotype ♀, Shunchang, Sanming, Fujian Province, 1995, coll. Yao Lihuo. 2. Aulocera lativitta Leech, stat. nov. (Figs. 9～10) Butt. China, Japan, Corea , 1892, 73, pl. Xiii: 4. This species was regarded as a variety of A. magica Oberthur, but fore wings with a white stripe in median cell, which is wide, clubbed, apical rounded, not serrated, apical thin, and a long white stripe at 2nd cubital cell and anal cell. Hind wings with a long white stripe at median cell, which is much wide, apex blunt, rows of white maculae on median zone not curved, area behind marginal median cell white. Specimens examined: 1♂,Wudu, Gansu Province, 23 Ⅶ 1997, coll. Zhang Yuanlin; 1♀, Xinglong Mountain, Gansu Province coll. Zhang Yuanlin. 3. Lassiommata petropolitana (Fabricius), new record from China (Figs. 11～12) Mantissa Ins ., 1787, 2: 36. Specimens examined: 1♂,1♀, Karamay, Xinjiang Autonomous Region, 1996, coll. Zhang Chuanshi. 4. Paralasa kalinda Moore, new record from China (Figs. 13～14) Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond ., 1865(2): 501. Specimens examined: 2♂♂,1♀, Karamay, Xinjiang, 1994, coll. Zhang Chuanshi. 5. Hyponephela nordoccidentaris , sp. nov. (Figs. 15～16) This species is similar to H. jasavi Lukhtanov, but different from the latter in 4 obvious round maculae on underface of hind wings. Holotype: ♂,Wudu, Gansu Province, 21 Ⅸ 1989. Paratypes: 1♀, Dongling Mountain, Gansu Province? 13 Ⅷ 1995; 1♂, 2♀♀, Wutai Mountain, Shanxi Province, 1990, coll. Bi Jimao. 6. Minois paupera guangxiensis , ssp. nov (Figs. 17～18) This new subspecies disti3nguished from nominal subspecies from Xizang by following characters: two eye spots of fore wings same size, black, white pupil, yellow rim of the eye spot narrow and blurred; hind wings with 4 smaller eye spots. 4th bigger. The colour of underside same as the uppersider. Middle transverse line protrude outwards in the 2nd median cell and 2nd cubital cell. Holotype: ♂, Guangxi Autonomous Region. 7. Minois undate , sp. nov (Figs. 19～20) It is similar to M. nagasawae (Matsumura), but may be distinguished from the latter in: the 2nd ocelli big, no eye spots on hind wings; middle transverse line of underside of hind wings arcus and sinuate, assumes no angled protrusion. Holotype: ♀, Gansu Province, Ⅶ 1989, coll. Tian Jianbei. 8. Boeberia parmenio guangxiensis , ssp. nov. (Figs. 21～22) This subspecies is distinguished from the nominate subspecies Boeberia parmenio parmenio (Bober) in: upperside of fore
