Abstract

Arctia olschwangi Dubatolov, formerly known only from Arctic Siberia, Russia, is recorded from northern Alaska, United States of America. Distinguishing characters between northern populations of Arctia brachyptera Troubridge and Lafontaine, Arctia caja (Linnaeus), A. olschwangi Dubatolov, and Arctia opulenta (Edwards) are discussed. Arctia brachyptera Troubridge and Lafontaine is hypothesised to be a subspecies of A. olschwangi Dubatolov but more specimens need to be examined before this taxonomic change is made.

Résumé

Arctia olschwangi Dubatolov, auparavant connu seulement en Sibérie arctique, a été trouvé dans le nord de l'Alaska. Les caractères distinctifs des populations du nord de A. brachyptera Troubridge and Lafontaine, A. caja (Linnaeus), A. olschwangi Dubatolov et A. opulenta (Edwards) sont discutés. Arctia brachyptera Lafontaine & Troubridge pourrait être une sous-espèce de A. olschwangi Dubatolov, mais il nécessaire d’étudier plus de spécimens avant de changer ce statut taxonomique.
