Paper about Stigmella leafminer moths in Southern Africa
NEPTICULIDAE OF SOUTHERN AFRICA: A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF THE GENUS STIGMELLA (1978)
Abstract:
Thirty-four species of the leaf-mining genus Stigmella, of which 20 are new, are included in this revision; the species fall into two species groups. The primary type of each species was examined. Generic names of nine species are recombined with Stigmella; five lectotypes are designated. A key to the males is presented; taxonomic characters used in the descriptions are evaluated. Notes on the biology of those species for which such information is available are documented.
