| Abstract: | Larvae of Algoasa cincutus, Disonycha comma, D. eximia, D. spilotrachela, Lysathia occidentalis, Macrochaltica jamaicensis, Omophoita aequinoctialis and Megistops liturata were described from the Hispaniola Is., West Indies. These Neotropical larvae were successfully incorporated into the author's preliminary groupings of Alticine genera, which was proposed mainly on the basis of Palearctic species. This result stresses particularly the importance of both the larval morphology and biology in discussing the phylogenetic relationships in the subfamily. This system based on larvae may give a good reference for supra-generic classification in the subfamily, where no satisfactory tribe-system based on adults is present. |
