- Cladistic analysis of moon moths using morphology, molecules, and behaviour: Actias Leach, 1815; Argema Wallengren, 1858; Graellsia Grote, 1896 (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) R. S. Peigler A. Y. Kawahara J. Ylla Biología Actias Argema Graellsia cladogram phylogeny A phylogenetic analysis of 16 moon moth species was conducted using morphology, molecules and behaviour.A data matrix of morphology and behaviour together was comprised of 93 characters from the larvae, pupae, cocoons,and adults in all ingroup species and two outgroups. Molecular data included 2662 nucleotides from elongationfactor 1-alpha (EF 1-a) and dopa decarboxylase (DDC) protein coding nuclear genes of six ingroups and the twooutgroups. Both data matrices were analyzed separately, compared, and combined. The total evidence analysis includingall characters reveals the following generic relationships: (outgroups (Argema (Graellsia + Actias))). Characterevolution indicates that the short hindwing tail evolved once and lengthened multiple times in different lineages ofmoon moths. Results support retaining Graellsia as a genus separate from Actias. 2005 artículo científico 0300-5267 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=45513106 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=455 SHILAP Revista de lepidopterología application/pdf Sociedad Hispano-Luso-Americana de Lepidopterología SHILAP Revista de lepidopterología (España) Num.131 Vol.33
