在过去的35年里，云南省西南部的中国在夏天发生了大约400起不明原因的猝死事件。广泛的实地调查显示，一种被当地人称为“小白菇”或“指甲状蘑菇”的真菌可能是主要原因之一。野外调查表明，该菌是云南西南部、中部和西北部海拔1700~3000m的亚热带山区腐木上常见的腐生植物。形态和分子系统发育分析表明，该属为一新种，与古热带金龟子及其近缘种关系密切。据此，对毒蛾T.venenata进行了描述和图解。
About 400 unexplained sudden deaths have occurred in Yunnan Province in southwestern China during summers over the last 35 years. Extensive field investigations revealed that a fungus called "little white mushroom" or "nail-like mushroom" by the local people could be one of the chief causes. Fieldwork showed that this fungus is a common saprophytic species growing on rotten wood in southwestern, central, and northwestern Yunnan in subtropical mountainous areas between 1,700 and 3,000 m altitude. Morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that it is a new species of the genus Trogia, closely related to the palaeotropical T. infundibuliformis and its allies. Accordingly, T. venenata is described and illustrated.
