Abstract:
Moths of the genus Emphylica Turner, 1913 resemble species of Achyra Guenée, 1849, Loxostege Hübner, 1825 and Sitochroa Hübner, 1825 in having a conical frons. In order to examine the monophyly of Emphylica , and its relationship to other genera with a conical frons, a molecular phylogenetic framework is reconstructed based on sequence data of COI, 16S rRNA, 28S rRNA, EF-1α and Wg gene regions. The results robustly support the monophyly of Emphylica . Achyra + ( Loxostege + Sitochroa ) is in a sister position to Emphylica . A new species, E.crassihamata sp. n. , is described from Southern China and two new combinations, E.diaphana (Caradja & amp; Meyrick, 1934), comb. n. and E.cruoralis (Warren, 1895), comb. n. , are proposed. An identification key based on males is provided for all Emphylica species. The adult habitus and genitalia of all species are figured.
