Habrosyne violacea Fixsen 1887

Description

Habrosyne violacea (Fixsen, 1887)

Thyatira violacea Fixsen, 1887: 352, pl. 15, fig. 11. Type-locality: Korea. Lectotype (ZRAS).

Remarks. Werny (1966) named 5 subspecies which were all treated as synonyms by Laszlo et al. (2007), and only the nominate subspecies and the subsp. argenteipuncta Hampson, 1893 were recognised. But Laszlo et al. (2007) wrongly marked Habrosyne violacea argenteipuncta Hampson, 1893 as “stat. nov.” and “comb. nov.”. In fact, Zhao (2004) had already treated it as a subspecies; since its original combination of the name argenteipuncta is with the genus Habrosyne, neither is there any change of status.
