Abstract: A new species, Nidomyia cana sp. n. is described from Hungary as the type-species of Nidomyia gen. nov. The genus Borboropsis Czerny, 1902 is re-described with notes, based mainly on the genitalia of B. puberula (Zetterstedt, 1838).

Title: Sibling species and species-groups in the genus Chersotis Boisduval, 1840 (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae: Noctuinae) with description of two new species

Author: Z. Varga

Author's address: Department of Zoology and Evolution, Kossuth Lajos University, H-4010 Debrecen, Hungary, E-mail: zvarga@tigris.klte.hu

Abstract: Pairs or groups of closely related species are a general phenomenon in the genus Chersotis Boisduval, 1840. A phylogenetic and biogeographic analysis is presented, with descriptions of two new species: Chersotis petermarci sp. n. which is the sibling species of Ch. vicina Corti, 1930, and Chersotis shandur sp. n. which belongs to the Ch. juvenis species-group. Species-groups in Chersotis, their significant morphological characters and phylogenetic relationships are considered. With 66 figures.
