中国鳞翅目新物种2022年度报告

Annual report of new taxa for Chinese Lepidoptera in 2022

本文总结了2022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,2022年共发表与中国鳞翅目物种相关的论文98篇,涉及新分类群238个,其中新属8个,新亚属1个,新种214个,新亚种15个;报道中国新记录属5个,中国新记录种76个(包括5个亚种),新组合28个;提出26个异名,4个物种降为亚种,5个亚种提升为种。229个新种(新亚种)隶属于鳞翅目的27科103属,其中127个新种隶属于小蛾类,86个新种隶属于大蛾类,蝶类有3个新种和13个新亚种。2022年发表的分布于云南省的鳞翅目新种和新记录种数仍然显著高于其他地区,分别占全国发表总数的24.02%和55.26%,我国南方新种和新记录种的数量仍显著高于北方。

Aim:Lepidoptera has high diversity and economic importance.Many species are pests,and some are beneficial or have high ornamental value.China has a large area,spanning the Palearctic and the Oriental regions.The biota is complex and diverse,and many new species are found and described every year.The aim of this study is to summarize the new taxa of Lepidoptera recorded from China in 2022.Methods:Information regarding new species,new synonyms,new combinations,and new record species for China were from related taxonomic journals.The scientific names and the type localities of the new species as well as other relevant information were sorted out based on a total of 98 articles.The new taxa of the Chinese Lepidoptera published by domestic and foreign researchers in 2022 were summarized.Results:A total of 238 new taxa were recorded,including 8 new genera and 1 subgenus,214 new species and 15 new subspecies.Five new record genera,76 new record species(including 5 subspecies)and 28 new combinations were reported in China.Twenty-six new synonyms were proposed,4 species were downgraded to subspecies,and 5 subspecies were upgraded to species.A total of 229 new species and subspecies belong to 103 genera of 27 families in Lepidoptera,of which 127 new species belong to Microlepidoptera,86 new species belong to Macrolepidoptera,and 3 new species and 13 new subspecies are butterflies.Conclusions:The number of new species and new record species of Lepidoptera distributed in Yunnan Province in 2022 was still significantly higher than that in other regions of China,accounting for 24.02%and 55.26%of the total published species in China,respectively.All the data show that the published new species and new record species collected from southern China in 2022 are still significantly higher than those collected from northern China.
