Description

Atteva fabriciella Swederus, 1787

(Figs. 1A, 3A)

Phalaena (Tinea) fabriciella Swederus, 1787, K. Svenska. Vetensk, Akad. Handl. 8: 277. TL: India.

Atteva brucea Moore, 1859: 300, TL: Indonesia (Java).

Atteva bruceella Guenée, 1879: 290. [unjustified emendation of brucea]

Amblothridia fabricella: Wallengren, 1861: 385. [misspelling of fabriciella]

Atteva niveiguttella Berg, 1880: 104. [misspelling of niviguttella]

Corinea niviguttella: Walker, 1863: 542. TL: India (South).

Diagnosis. This species has been treated as A. wallengreni for a long time. Sohn & Wu (2013) tried to separate these two species based on the number of white dots on the forewing and both male and female genital characteristics. Therefore, we adapted these features in this study.

Distribution. Oriental— Cambodia (Present study), China (Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan), India (Gujarat, Orissa), Indonesia (Borneo, Java, Sulawesi, Sumatra), Philippines (Luzon), Sri Lanka, Thailand.

Host plant. Simaroubaceae — Ailanthus excelsa Roxb., A. triphysa (Dennst.) Alston., Brucea sumatrana Roxb., Quassia indica (Gaertn.) Nooteboom (Horsfield & Moore 1859; Fletcher 1914; Mishra & Pandey 1966; Mohanadas & Verma 1984; Verma 1992). Uncertain host: Fabaceae — Acacia spp., Burseraceae — Boswellia serrata Roxb. & Colebr., Santalaceae — Santalum album L. (Beeson 1941; Browne 1968; Robinson et al. 1994).

Material examined. [INUB] ♀, Bokor (N10º39’30.73”, E104º03’03.74”), 4.II.2014 (Bae Y.S., Oh K.S., Ju Y.D., Park B.S., Na S.M., Kim J.W., Lee D.J.), genitalia slide no. QNA-32.

Remarks. This species is reported for the first time from Cambodia.
