Lamproxynella Hering

The closely related genera Dyseuaresta Hendel , Lamproxynella Hering , and Pseudoedaspis Hendel need revision and the classification of their species should be reconsidered based on a phylogenetic analysis. At least based on their wing patterns, D. fuscoapicalis Hering, 1942 , and Acinia impluviata Blanchard, 1852 ( Fig. 47), appear to be better placed in Lamproxynella , which have reticulate or banded patterns, than in Dyseuaresta , which usually have radiate to stellate patterns. They are hereby transferred from Dyseuaresta to Lamproxynella . The only known host plant of L. impluviata is a species of Senecio ( Asteraceae : Senecioneae) ( Frías 1992), a genus that is attacked by at least two other species of Lamproxynella , whereas most known hosts for Dyseuaresta species are in the tribe Heliantheae ( Prado et al. 2002; Norrbom, unpubl. data).
