Abstract:

The Aethina complex of genera is defined and delimited, a key is given to the included genera and subgenera, and comments are made on the evolution of anthophagy, carpophagy and leaf-mining in the group. Keys and species reviews are given for Aethina (Cleidorura) subgen. nov. and Aethina (Idaethina) Gemminger et Harold. The following new species are described: A. (C.) malekulensis, A. (C.) sulawesiensis, and A. (C.) transfusa. The following new combinations are proposed in Aethina (Idaethina): abbreviata (Fabricius) (Nitidula); brun-nescens (Reitter) (Macroura); concolor (Macleay) (Nitidula– Macroura); cuneata (Grouvelle) (Macroura); deceptor (Blackburn) (Macroura); inermis (Blackburn) (Macroura); lugens (Grouvelle) (Macroura); sobrina (Olliff) (Macroura). The following new synonymiesare proposed in Aethina (Idaethina): abbreviata (Fabricius) (= Macroura nigraReitter, = M.multilineata Grouvelle, = M. bicalcarata Blackburn); concolor (Macleay) (= M. lesnei Grouvelle, = M. bouvieri Grouvelle, = M. fauveli Grouvelle, = M. punctulata Grouvelle); punctata (Reitter) (= M. pascoei Grouvelle); sobrina (Olliff) (= M. atra Grouvelle, =Carpophilus ordinatus Olliff); subrugosa (Grouvelle) (=M. dubia Grouvelle). The name Australaethina nom. nov. is proposedas a replacement for Idaethina Reitter, 1875 (not Gemminger et Harold, 1868). Additional new combinations are: Lordyra americanus (Reitter) (Lasiodactylus), L. loretoensis (Bruch) (Neopocadius), L.villosus (Blanchard in Brullé) (Nitidula– Lasiodactylus), Psilonitidulalongicollis (Grouvelle) (Trimenus), Australaethina pilistriata (Macleay) (Pocadius–Idaethina), A. froggatti (Kirejtshuk et Lawrence) (Idaethina), A. ursula (Kirejtshuk et Lawrence) (Idaethina). Lectotypes are designated for Psilonitidula grouvellei Heller, P. longicollis (Grouvelle) and several species of Aethina (Idaethina).
