Heterogynis Rambur, 1837 (Lepidoptera: Zygaenoidea, Heterogynidae) from Andalusia and the Algarve (Spain and Portugal): a taxonomic and faunistic review.

2020 
espanolSe estudian las poblaciones del genero Heterogynis Rambur, 1837 del suroeste de la peninsula iberica (Andalucia y el Algarve). Se resume el conocimiento disponible sobre estas especies y se aportan nuevos detalles de su morfologia y ecologia. Se confirma la validez de Heterogynis affinis Rambur, 1837 de Andalucia (Cadiz y Malaga) y se describen su habitat y sus estadios preimaginales. Se describe Heterogynis cynetis sp. n., una especie nueva del Algarve portugues. Se ilustran los adultos de ambos sexos, las genitalias, terguitos/-esternitos del macho, sus estadios inmaduros, capullos, plantas nutricias, parasitoides, los diferentes habitats que ocupa y las especies mas proximas. Estos dos taxones se distinguen por una divergencia notable en su ADN mitocondrial (una distancia minima del 5,6% en la region del codigo de barras del gen citocromo c oxidasa I), asi como por singularidades en su biologia y habitat. Se estima que la diversificacion de estas especies comenzo durante el Plioceno o al comienzo del Pleistoceno. Se documenta la primera cria en cautividad ab ovo exitosa de una especie de este genero (Heterogynis cynetis sp. n.). EnglishPopulations of the genus Heterogynis Rambur, 1837 from the south-west of the Iberian Peninsula (Andalusia and the Algarve) are examined. The current knowledge about these taxa is summarised and supplemented by genetic, morphological and ecological data. The validity of Heterogynis affinis Rambur, 1837 from Andalusia (Cadiz and Malaga) is confirmed and its preimaginal instars and habitat are described. A new species, Heterogynis cynetis sp. n., is described from the Portuguese region of the Algarve. Adults, male genitalia, abdominal tergites/-sternites, immature stages, cocoons, larval host plants, habitats, parasitoids and closely related species are illustrated. These two species are distinguished by remarkable differences in their mitochondrial DNA (5.6% of minimum genetic distance in the barcode region of the cytochrome c oxidase I gene) as well as singularities in their biology and habitat. We estimate that the diversification of this species group started during the Pliocene or at the onset of the Pleistocene. The first successful ab ovo breeding of a species in this genus in captivity (Heterogynis cynetis sp. n.) is documented.
