Hao HUANG 黄灏 & Ying-Chun DONG 董迎春

Abstract: Chrysozephyrus dongi Huang spec. nov. is described from Pu’er, southern Yunnan. The new species is associated with Photinia species (Rosaceae), a genus rarely documented as a host plant for Chrysozephyrus hairstreaks. The adult habitus and male genitalia are illustrated and compared with those of Chrysozephyrus paona (Tytler, 1915), currently considered its closest relative based on wing-patterns. The relationships between the new species and other species are also discussed.

摘要:新种董氏金灰蝶Chrysozephyrus dongi Huang, spec. nov.发现于云南南部的普洱市。该物种的寄主植物为石楠属(Photinia,蔷薇科),这一属植物在金灰蝶属中极少被记录为宿主。本研究提供了该新种的成虫两性形态及雄性外生殖器特征图示,并与目前基于翅斑纹认为其最近缘的物种——帕金灰蝶Chrysozephyrus paona (Tytler, 1915)进行了对比。文中还讨论了新种与其他相关物种的系统关系。
