    Journal: Zootaxa; 2022 Mar 02; 5105(1):1-47. PubMed ID: 35391315.
    Abstract:
    The genus Athyrma Hbner, [1823] 1816 is revised, with a generic re-description and transcriptions of original descriptions (with translations) of all described species provided. Sixteen Athyrma species are recognized in this paper. Nine species are new: A. brigittae Adams McCabe sp. nov., A. tapichensis Adams McCabe, sp. nov., A. urbanae Adams McCabe, sp. nov., A. yasuni Adams McCabe, sp. nov., A. ciboney McCabe Adams, sp. nov., A. cryani McCabe Adams, sp. nov., A. itatiaia McCabe Adams, sp. nov., A. romacki McCabe Adams, sp. nov., and A. svensoni McCabe Adams, sp. nov. Taxonomic changes are as follows: Athyrma antica Schaus, 1912, syn. nov., a junior synonym of A. nodosa; A. cunesema Hampson, 1926, syn. nov., a junior synonym of A. cunesema; Athyrma cordigera Walker, 1869, comb. nov., syn. nov., a junior synonym of Celiptera levina Stoll, 1781. A lectotype is designated for A. adjutrix (Cramer, 1780). Neotypes are designated for four species: Athyrma nodosa Mschler, 1880, A. orbana Mschler, 1880, A. tuberosa (Felder and Rogenhofer, 1874), and A. ganglio Hbner, [1831] 1825. Athyrma ganglio Hbner, [1831] 1825, rest. stat. and A. dormitrix Guene in Boisduval and Guene, 1852, rest. stat. are removed from synonymy and restored as valid species. Athyrma has been associated with the Eulepidotinae however is here tentatively assigned to Erebinae: Poaphilini because of its similarity to Mimophisma Hampson, 1926. Illustrations of male and female adult habitus, ultimate instar larva, dissections of male and female external and internal genitalia are provided. Athyrma misera Butler, 1879 is removed from Athyrma and placed in Ezra gen. nov. Nymbis resecta Dognin, 1912 is removed from its current placement in Athyrma and placed in Facies gen. nov. Checklists of all three genera are provided.
