The Noctuoidea (Lepidoptera) from Cuba described by Herrich-Schäffer and Gundlach in the Gundlach Collection, Havana

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract

The taxonomic status of 94 nominal species of Noctuoidea from Cuba described by Herrich-Schäffer, and two species described by Gundlach is discussed. Type material of 49 nominal species preserved in Coll. Gundlach, Instituto de Ecologia y Sistemática, Havana, is evaluated. Seventy species names of Herrich-Schäffer and two of Gundlach are recognized, one genus name and 39 species names are synonymized, 16 new combinations, four reinstated synonyms and two species recalled from synonymy are established.

ACHNOWLEDGEMENTS. The present work would not have been possible without the collaboration of the staff of the IES, its Directors: Biol. Pedro Pérez and Biol. Ada Camacho, and the following staff members who gave all the support either in the laboratory or, especially, by companionship and help in the field: Dr. Rafael Alayo. Biol. Luiz de Armas, Biol. Eduviges Valdés, Biol. Melba Hernández, and to Mr. Pedro Ortega. I am particularly idebted to Dr. Pastor Alayo who provided me with much useful information related to this project and supplied several specimens that filled gaps in my collection; and to his wife Blanca, for the kindness she showed to me during several visits to their home. Finally to those who read and presented several corrections and suggestions that improved this work significantly: Dr. Robert Poole, USNM, and Dr. Klaus Sattler, BMNH. Mr. W. Cavalcanti, EMBRAPA-CPAC, Planaltina, DF, Brazil, made the line drawings.
