斑螟亚科(鳞翅目:螟蛾科)系统分类学研究进展

Research Progress in the Taxonomy of Phycitinae(Lepidoptera:Pyralidae)

笔者综述了斑螟亚科Phycitinae的系统分类研究概况,重点论述国内外分类研究历史与现状、族级阶元划分与系统分类等方面的最新研究进展。指出斑螟亚科系统分类中存在的区系研究不平衡、系统发育研究不完善、近缘属区别特征不够明确、近缘种形态鉴定不够准确等问题,建议将形态分类与分子系统学方法相结合以研究斑螟亚科的系统分类,并对斑螟亚科系统学未来的研究与发展提出展望。

The subfamily Phycitinae is the second largest group of Pyralidae in Lepidoptera with important economic significance. This paper reviews the taxonomic history of Phycitinae, as well as the updated progress in its taxonomic status, the demarcation of its tribes, and the systematic study. In addition, some problems, such as the imbalance on faunistic study, the absence of systematic study, and the ambiguous differences between similar genera and closely related species are discussed. The combination of morphological and molecular systematics is suggested as a future study.
