| Abstract: | "Crastolliana n. gen. (Apatelodidae) is described as new, with Crastolliana nina (Stoll, [1780]) n. comb. as its type species. Investigation of specimens from various geographical localities revealed numerous cryptic species resulting in the recognition of the following new species: C. belyiorum n. sp., C. bonillai n. sp., C. caucensis n. sp., C. giulianae n. sp., C. gortovannyii n. sp., C. inca n. sp., C. johannesi n. sp., C. kozlovi n. sp., C. krutoae n. sp., C. landryi n. sp., C. otispa n. sp., C. steigeri n. sp. and C. xirma n. sp. The following species are transferred from Apatelodes Packard, 1864: C. ardeola (Druce, 1887) n. comb., C. damora (Schaus, 1939) n. comb., C. moresca (Schaus, 1905) n. comb., C. patagai (Herbin, 2015) n. comb. and C. rodrougi (Herbin, 2022) n. comb. Apatelodes vitrea Schaus, 1910, currently treated as a subspecies of C. ardeola n. comb. and based on a male, is determined to a junior synonym of C. ardeola n. comb., which was based on a female. Olceclostera mediana Schaus, 1900, currently treated as Apatelodes ardeola mediana (Schaus, 1900), is re-established as a species and transferred to the new genus as Crastolliana mediana (Schaus, 1900) n. comb., stat. rev." |
