[TaiBNET名錄修訂]尺蛾科一新名


台灣產暗斑霜尺蛾原為Wileman & South (1917)根據一隻採集自阿里山的雄蟲以Boarmia subochrearia所描述. 然而在1917年之前, Prout(1914)則指出台灣產的Alcis variegata (Moore)翅色較印度產者為深. 張保信(1990)則以Alcis variegata為名重新描述了台灣產暗斑霜尺蛾, 隨後井上 寬(1992)將subochrearia降為variegata之台灣亞種. 這個命名分類處理為王效岳(1998), Parsons et al. (1999)以及鞍馬山的蛾(2002)所採用. 然而佐藤力夫認為台灣產的subochrearia與廣布於印度次大陸至中南半島及華南地區的variegata並不同種, 因此他倡議將subochrearia重新提升回種的位階. 然而這個種小名與Leech (1897)根據峨眉山產標本命名的subochrearia形成異物同名, 因此佐藤認為有必要為台灣產者提出一新名taiwanovariegata並確認暗斑霜尺蛾應歸於Alcis屬.
