A Checklist of the Palaearctic Procridinae (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae)

A revised checklist of the Palaearctic Procridinae is given. The order of tribes, genera and species differs from that published in the previous checklists (Efetov & Tarmann, 1995; 1999). Artonini are placed at the beginning as they are considered to represent a more ancient group than Procridini. The Clelea-group as well as Chrysartona, Hysteroscene, Tasema, Morionia, and Inope are transferred to Artonini. Funeralia is transferred to Procridini. The order of the genera Theresimima, Rhagades, Zygaenoprocris, Adscita, Jordanita and their subgenera is in accordance with the latest phylogenetic investigations (Efetov, 2004; 2005) and new molecular data (Efetov et al., 2010; 2011; 2012). The following taxa are newly described: Fuscartona Efetov & Tarmann, gen. n., Striartona Efetov & Tarmann, gen. n., Pseudoilliberis Efetov & Tarmann, gen. n., and Nikilliberis Efetov & Tarmann, subgen. n. In addition, Hedina Alberti, 1954, stat. n., and Zama Herrich-Schaffer, 1855, stat. rev., are raised from subgeneric to generic rank.

"Aunque la palabra genio a menudo se usa en la cultura popular y en los medios de comunicaci?n, se usa con mayor frecuencia en completa ignorancia de la extensa investigaci?n cient?fica sobre ese mismo tema. Estas investigaciones comenzaron hace m?s de 150 a?os y contin?an hasta nuestros d?as. Por supuesto, estos resultados de investigaci?n no son accesibles para los lectores comunes. La mayor?a de los resultados est?n enterrados en revistas t?cnicas llenas de estad?sticas esot?ricas y matem?ticas. Por esto, los descubrimientos centrales deben extraerse y comunicarse a un p?blico m?s amplio de alguna manera. Ese es uno de los principales objetivos de este libro."
