Abstract


The genus Canephora Hübner is reported for the first time from Korea with a newly recorded species, Canephora pungelerii (Helaerts). All available information, including the collection localities and illustration of female, are presented. DNA barcode for precise identification of the species is also provided.

초록


금번 연구를 통해 작은검정주머니나방속이 국내에서 처음 발견되어 보고한다. 작은검정주머니나방속 내 작은날개검정주머니나방에 대한 암 컷 형태 특징, 채집지 정보 등을 포함한 이용가능한 모든 정보를 제공하였다. 또한 신속한 종 동정을 위한 DNA 바코드 정보를 작성하였다.



    The family Psychidae is a medium-sized family consisting of 241 named genera and 1,350 species (Sobczyk, 2011; van Nieukerken et al., 2011). Most psychids make various cases or bags at different larval stages (Sugimoto, 2009a, 2009b). Also, males have wings, whereas most females cannot fly because of their wings have been reduced (Niitsu and Kobayashi, 2008; Roh et al., 2016).

    In Korea, Roh et al. (2016) reviewed nine species including a new species, Psyche yeongwolensisByun and Roh, 2016 and a newly recorded species, Proutia maculatellaSaigusa and Sugimoto, 2014. Later, Roh and Byun (2016) recorded Ceratosticha leptodetaMeyrick, 1935 new for Korea. Recently, five more species were reported: Bacotia sakabeiSeino, 1981 (Roh and Byun, 2017a), Bruandella niphonica (Hori, 1926) and Proutia nigraSaigusa and Sugimoto, 2014 (Roh and Byun, 2017b), Dahlica (Dahlica) somae Roh and Byun, 2018 and Dahlica (Dahlica) ochrostigma Roh and Byun, 2018 (Roh et al., 2018). Consequently, 15 species in total are now known from Korea.

    The genus Canephora, belonging to the subfamily Oiketicinae, was established by Hübner (1822) based on the type species Phalaena (Bombyx) unicolorHufnagel, 1766. Heylaerts (1900) described a new species, Chalia pungelerii from Japan. Later, Chalia pungelerii changed into Canephora pungelerii by Inoue (1981). Poda (1761) described a new species of Canephora, C. hirsuta from Austria. Thus, a total of two species of Canephora have been recorded worldwide to date (Sobczyk, 2011).

    In this study, we report a newly recorded species of the genus Canephora, C. pungelerii from Korea. All available information is presented, including the collection locations, and illustration of female. DNA barcode is also provided for precise identification of each species.

    Materials and Methods

    The material examined in this study is preserved in the Systematic Entomology Laboratory, Hannam University (SEL/ HNU), Daejeon, Korea. Females were dissected and examined after mounting with euparal solution. Photographs were taken using a Pax cam digital camera (PAXcam Microscope Cameras Co., Chicago, IL, USA) attached to a Carl Zeiss Axio Imager A1 microscope (Carl Zeiss Ltd., Cambridge, MA, USA). Terminology and morphological characters of the females follows Sugimoto and Saigusa (2001).

    Genomic DNA was extracted from the thorax part of an immersion specimen, preserved in 100% alcohol using a Genomic Cell/Tissue Spin Mini Kit (Mbiotech, Inc., Hanam, Korea), according to the manufacturer’s protocol. A specimen was sequenced for, the 658 bp fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene, the DNA barcode, was amplified using the primer pair Lep F1 and Lep R1 (Hebert et al., 2004). PCR conditions for amplification followed the manufacturer’s protocol (Platinum Taq, Invitrogen, Carlsbad City, CA, USA). Amplicons were purified using the QIAquick® PCR purification kit (QIAGEN, Inc.) and directly sequenced at Genotech Corp. (Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Korea). Contigs were assembled using CodonCode aligner version 2.0.6 (CodonCode Co., Centerville City, MA, USA). Successful sequences were submitted to GenBank.
