Carpatolechia nephomicta是旋蛾科/麥蛾科(Gelechiidae)旋蛾亞科(Gelechiinae)Litini族的成員,分布於日本與朝鮮半島南部,臺灣則是尚未正式紀錄的產地。本種的身體為灰褐色與黃褐色鱗片交雜,前翅底色為黃褐色與灰褐色交雜,前緣約1/2處有一塊黑色梯形斑,靠翅基處有一條黑色寬斜帶,後翅頂角凸出,灰褐色底,無其他翅紋。Carpatolechia在全世界共記錄約16種,主要分布於歐洲與亞洲,與Pseudotelphusa、Teleiodes和Neotelphusa非常近似,在外觀上無法區別,僅能依靠雄蟲生殖器判斷歸屬於何類群。該屬雖然在臺灣目前僅記錄1種─C. flavipunctatella,然而臺灣的旋蛾科已知物種屬級變動仍待釐清,因此物種總數可能還有變動。此外,Carpatolechia nephomicta在Sakamaki (2013)的研究中被處理為Pseudotelphusa,惟作者語帶保留,認為屬級地位仍有待釐清,本文參考Park & Ponomarenko (2007)與Lee & Brown (2008)對屬級的定義後,採用Park & Ponomarenko (2007)的分類處理,將本種視為Carpatolechia下的一員。此外,本屬的族級地位在Lee & Brown (2008)的研究中被處理為Teleiodini,本文亦先採用Park & Ponomarenko (2007)的分類處理,待未來分類架構穩定後再做修正。C. nephomicta的翅紋與C. nigrifasciata目前無法區分,必須借由生殖器解剖才能鑑定,雖然後者目前尚未於臺灣被發現,但無法排除存在的可能性。圖中的個體採於尖台林道,2013年5月採。
A Brief Introduction
Carpatolechia nephomicta, originally distributed in Japan and southern Korea, is a gelechid species new and recorded in Taiwan fauna. Carpatolechia shows close affinity with Pseudotelphusa, Teleiodes and Neotelphusa. Here, the taxonomic status proposed by Park & Ponomarenko (2007) is followed. Carpatolechia nephomicta shares very similar wing pattern with C. nigrifasciata, and it is difficult to tell them apart except comparison of male and female genitalia.
