Eriphia sebana (Shaw & Nodder, 1803)

Fig. 19

Material examined

MAURITIUS • 6 ♀♀ (51.7 ×38.8, 49.6 ×35.7, 42.3 ×32.7, 29 ×21.1, 32.7 ×24.5, 22.6 ×16.8), 1 ♂ (20.9 ×15.9); 1850; Forrer leg.; MNCN20.04/03488 • 1 unsexed; 1850; Guérin-Méneville leg.; dry specimen from the “Sala del Mar” exhibition; MNCN20.04/00131 .

Remarks

The specimens were initially identificated as Eriphia laevimana , a current synonym of E. sebana . In the label is also indicated that the locality of collection was “Isla de Francia, Groenlandia [sic!]”, but it is probably a mistake in the transcription from the old label to the new one, therefore must be recorded as from Mauritius.

For identification see also Serène (1984) and Koh & Ng (2008).
