Systematics of the <i>Chrysoxena</i> Group of Genera (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Euliini) (University of California Publications in Entomology) (v. 111)

The authors examine relationships within the Chrysoxena group of the tortricid tribe Euliini. They define 54 species among six genera: Chrysoxena Meyrick; Vulpoxena Brown, new genus; Thoridia Brown, new genus; Dorithia Powell; Cuproxena Powell and Brown, new genus; and Bidorpitia Brown, new genus. Using cladistic methods, the authors develop a phylogenetic hypothesis for the genera and species groups of Dorithia and Cuproxena. A systematic treatment of the included species provides appropriate generic assignment for several previously misplaced species and describes many taxa as new.Brown, John W. is the author of 'Systematics of the Chrysoxena Group of Genera (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Euliini) (University of California Publications in Entomology) (v. 111)', published 1991 under ISBN 9780520097650 and ISBN 0520097653.
