Paramartyria anmashana Hashimoto, 2000 鞍馬山小翅蛾
鞍馬山小翅蛾(Paramartyria anmashana)是小翅蛾科(Micropterigidae)的成員,目前僅知分布於臺灣大雪山森林遊樂區(鞍馬山)。本種的頭部為橙黃色,鱗片立起,觸角粗,複眼比例大,呈銀色,胸部與腹部為黑色,前翅為深藍紫色底,靠前緣有兩塊白斑,停棲時自然光下可見金屬光澤,後翅為黑色,無其他翅紋。全世界的小翅蛾科目前估計約有21屬160種,臺灣則有其中的2屬11種,分別是小翅蛾屬(Paramartyria)和古小翅蛾屬(Palaeomicroides)。臺灣的小翅蛾屬共記錄4種,目前都僅知分布於臺灣。鞍馬山小翅蛾和圓斑小翅蛾(Par. maculatella)的翅紋與雄性生殖器十分相似,加上目前仍有一個未紀錄種翅紋也是如此,因此本種目前無法僅靠翅紋鑑定,必須搭配地點與發生時間,而生殖器比對則是較可靠的方法。雖然TaiBNET中的鞍馬山小翅蛾被置於古小翅蛾屬下,然而筆者無法找到該處理的原始文獻,加上鞍馬山小翅蛾的特徵吻合小翅蛾屬,因此本文依循Hashimoto的原始處理。圖中的個體來自大雪山森林遊樂區遊客服務中心,2014年7月。
