Genus Hyperstrotia Hampson, 1910 View in CoL

Hyperstrotia Hampson, 1910 View in CoL , Catalogue of the Lepidoptera Phalaenae View in CoL in the British Museum 10: xvi, 556. Type-species: Thalpochares aetheria Grote, 1879 View in CoL [ USA, Florida] (? = Cryphia nana Hübner, 1818 ).

Synonymy: Jaspidia Hübner, 1808 View in CoL , suppr. (ICZN, 1966 Op. 789); Jaspidia Hübner, 1818 View in CoL , unavailable; Protocryphia Barnes & McDunnough, 1918 View in CoL .

The genus Hyperstrotia View in CoL , into which Hampson (1910) originally placed two New World and eight Old World species, is currently belongs to the family Erebidae View in CoL , subfamily Boletobiinae, tribe Phytometrinae ( Lafontaine & Schmidt 2010). However, the results of molecular analysis suggests the Phytometrinae is at best a tribe within the Boletobiinae (D. Lafontaine, pers. comm.; Holloway 2011; Zahiri et al. 2011). Poole (1989) listed ten Old World and six New World species of Hyperstrotia View in CoL , however Hyperstotia is a heterogeneous assemblage in his concept and requires revision. Some Old World species of Hyperstrotia View in CoL have already been transferred to other genera: Hyperstrotia inordinata View in CoL (Walker, [1863] 1864) to Chorsia Walker , [1863] 1864; Hyperstrotia meeki Bethune-Baker, 1906 View in CoL and Hyperstrotia molybdota Hampson, 1910 View in CoL to Meekstrotia Holloway, 2009 of the subfamily Eustrotiinae ( Holloway 2009) View in CoL . In the present article we have already transfered H. flavipuncta to the genus Strotihypera (Elaphriini, Noctuinae View in CoL ). The systematic position of other Old World species ( Hyperstrotia albida Hampson, 1910 View in CoL [ Irak]; H. ochreipuncta View in CoL [ Taiwan]; H. macroplaga View in CoL [ Sri Lanka]; H. semiochrea Hampson, 1898 View in CoL [ India]; H. variata Wileman View in CoL & West, 1929 [Philipines]) requires revision.
