Heterocrossa philpotti is a species of moth of the family Carposinidae.[2] It is endemic to New Zealand. It currently has two subspecies, although it has been hypothesised that Hetercrossa philpotti hudsoni may have two different species confused within this subspecies name.
Taxonomy
[edit]This species was first mentioned by Alfred Philpott in 1928 under the name Carposina n.s.[3] It was first described by John S. Dugdale in 1971 as the subspecies Carposina epomiana philpotti.[4] In 1978 Elwood Zimmerman argued that the genus Heterocrassa should not be a synonym of Carposina as the genitalia of the species within the genus Heterocrassa are distinctive.[5] As a result in 1988 Dugdale placed this species in the genus Heterocrossa.[6] He proposed the new subspecies Heterocrossa philpotti hudsoni in place of Carposina epomiana as described and discussed by Alfred Philpott in 1928.[6]
Distribution
[edit]This species is endemic to New Zealand.[7][1]
Subspecies
[edit]- Heterocrossa philpotti philpotti (Dugdale, 1971) (Auckland, Adams Island, Enderby Island, Ocean Island, Rose Islands)[4][8]
- Heterocrossa philpotti hudsoni Dugdale, 1988[6]
The subspecies H. philpotti hudsoni has been recorded as being observed in Albany, Auckland.[9] Alan W. Emmerson and Robert J.B. Hoare have hypothesised that there may be two species confused within this name.[9]
