Abstract

Geina sheppardi sp.nov., a grape-feeding platyptiliine (Pterophoridae), is described. Its distribution, biology, and diagnostic features are discussed and related to those of two other partly sympatric and morphologically similar species of grape-feeding Platyptiliinae, Sphenarches Ontario (McDunnough) and Geina periscelidactyla (Fitch). A lectotype is designated for the latter.

Résumé

Geina sheppardi sp.nov., une espèce de Platyptiliinae (Pterophoridae) inféodée à la vigne, est décrite. Les données concernant la distribution, la biologie et les caractères diagnostiques de cette espèce sont comparées avec celles de deux autres espèces de Platyptiliinae inféodées à la vigne, morphologiquement similaires et partiellement sympatriques, Sphenarches Ontario (McDunnough) et Geina periscelidactyla (Fitch). Cette dernière espèce fait l’objet d’une désignation de lectotype.
