Atteva pustulella

description: <i>Atteva pustulella</i> (Fabricius) <i>Phalaena</i> <i>Tinea punctella</i> Stoll, 1781: 164. Type locality: Costa Rica by neotype designated here. A primary junior homonym of <i>Phalaena punctella</i> Linnaeus, 1761. <i>Tinea pastulella</i> Fabricius, 1787: 241. Objective replacement name for <i>Phalaena</i> <i>Tinea punctella</i> Stoll, 1781. Th e spelling is a printing error for <i>pustulella</i>, as is clearly evident from the description. <i>Tinea pustulella</i> Fabricius, 1794: 292. Justified emendation of <i>T. pastulella</i> Fabricius, 1787. <i>Lithosia pustulata</i> Fabricius, 1798: 462. <i>Crameria subtilis</i> Hübner, 1822: 168. Objective replacement name for <i>Phalaena</i> <i>Tinea punctella</i> Stoll, 1781. <b>Forewings.</b> The pattern ranging from Uruguay and Argentina northwards to Costa Rica, consists of thick black outlinings around the white spots and the orange spots reduced, with the antemedial and medial orange fasciae divided into two large blotches each (Figure 3B). No other morphological features, either in colouration, other external characters or genitalia, distinguish this species from <i>A. aurea</i>. <b>Habitat and food plants.</b> <i>Atteva pustulella</i> caterpillars (400+) have been found only in the ACG rain forest ecosystem and feeding only on new shoots of <i>Simarouba amara</i>. Where the ACG rain forest intergrades with ACG dry forest, to date all caterpillars from <i>S. amara</i> have been those of <i>A. pustulella</i> (while caterpillars of <i>A. aurea</i> have been found on both <i>S. amara</i> and <i>S. glauca</i> in the intergrade zone) (Figure 2). <i>Ailanthus glandulosa</i> [= <i>A. altissima</i>] in Argentina (Berg 1880: 101), <i>Castela erecta</i>, in Saint Croix, Antilles (Walsingham, 1914: 331), <i>C. peninsularis</i>, <i>C. polyandra</i>, <i>C.</i> <b>Figure |.</b> One of 199 most parsimonious trees found by the PAUPRat analysis of Atteva barcodes sequences showing the presence of diagnostic nucleotide differences between the species. Th e scale bar shows the number of changes. Notable specimens are highlighted in red. <i>emory</i>, in the United States (Powell et al. 1973: 177). Th ese are doubtful records for which either the host or the moth species may be misidentified (Becker 2009). <b>Distribution.</b> This species ranges from Costa Rica, where it meets <i>aurea</i>, southwards to Uruguay and Argentina. It is also present in the Antilles. Becker (2009) reports several specimens from Dominica, Jamaica, Haiti and Martinique in the USNM. <b>Neotype.</b> <i>Phalaena</i> <i>Tinea punctella</i> Stoll, female, here designated, deposited in USNM, labelled: “Voucher: D.H.
