Revised taxonomic check list of the Eurasiatic species of the subtribe Poliina (Noctuidae, Noctuinae, Hadenini)

Abstract

The revised checklist of the subtribe Poliina Hampson, 1902 is presented; one new genus, Multisigna gen. n., three new subgenera (Atropolia, Leuconephropolia and Protopolia subgen. n.) and a new species (Polia (Atropolia) posterodiluta sp. n.) are described. The taxonomic position of the recently described subgenus Metallopolia is discussed. The subtribe Pachetrina Beck, 1996 is synonymised with Poliina; two genera (Kollariana Hacker, 1996 and Spiramater McCabe, 1980) are transferred to the subtribe Mamestrina Hampson, 1902. A number of lectotype designations and new combinations are given; the newly designated lectotypes and the genitalia of the disputed taxa are illustrated.
