Taxonomy and origin of moths inhabiting in the Japanese warm temperate forests

1.一、对以下温带森林进行了调查：本州中部，森林的北方最边缘;山阴和对马，与朝鲜半岛：琉球群岛相连。对九州大学和大坂府立大学的蛾类标本进行了调查.所谓的“喜马拉雅异角类”的成员通常被认为是暖温带森林的居民。分析了它们的分布格局，讨论了部分类群的起源及与日本种的关系.在琉球奄美大岛发现了一个双翅虫新种。最近的亲戚是A。livids，广泛分布从欧洲到日本，和新spesiec被认为是孑遗。淡紫琉璃草是最近在日本重新发现的一种生活在常绿阔叶林中的植物。recta生活在落叶林中，尽管在它们的分布边界的一些地方发现了这两个物种的混合。Eterusia aedea是一种典型的喜马拉雅蛾，分布范围从喜马拉雅到日本中部，已知有许多亚种;综述了琉球群岛亚种间的关系，并将奄美大岛的一个新亚种与冲绳和屋久岛的新亚种区分开来.报告了两次对迁飞蛾的观察。大群的Macroglossum pyrrhostieta被Amani-oshima的Naze的灯光吸引，这是第二次成群迁徙的记录，第一次是在Lat的海洋气象站“Tango”。北纬29度。久了1968年，135岁。紫壳海蜇广泛分布于东南亚，并曾多次迁入日本海沿岸。这些观测分别是在台风和低气压刚刚通过之后进行的。

1 . The following worm temperate forests were investigated: central Honshu, the northern most border of the forests; San-in and Tsushima, for connection with the Korean Peninsula: the Ryukyu Islands. The moth collections of Kyushu University and University of Osaka Prefecture were checked.2. Members of so called "Himalayan Heterocera" are usually considered to be inhabitants of warm temperate forests. Their distribution patterns were analyzed, and the origin of some groups and the relationship to Japanese species were discussed.3. A new species of Amphipyra was discovered from Amami-oshima, the Ryukyus. The closest relative is A. livids, widely distributed from Europe to Japan, and the new spesiec was considered a relict. Lygephila lilacina was recently rediscovered from Japan and inhabit in broadleaved evergreen forests, on the other hand the related L. recta live in deciduous forests, though the two species were found mixed in some places of their distributional borders. Eterusia aedea is a typical Himalayan moth, distributed from Himalaya to central Japan, and many subspecies were known; the relationship among subspecies of the Ryuikyu Islands were reviewed and a new subspecies from Amami-oshima was distinguished from those of Okinawa and Yakushima.4. Two observations of migrant moths were reported. A large crowd of Macroglossum pyrrhostieta were attracted by lights at Naze, Amani-oshima, this is the second record of the swarming migration, the first was at the Ocean Weather Station "Tango", Lat. 29ﾟ N. Long. 135ﾟ E in 1968. Hypocala violacea is widely distributed in Southeast Asia, and immigrated several times into coasts of the Japan Sea. Those observations were made just after passage of a typhoon and a low pressure, respectively.
