Despite being popular among amateur and professional lepidopterologists
and posing great opportunities for evolutionary research, the phylogenetic relationships
of tiger moths (Erebidae: Arctiinae) are not well resolved. Here we provide the first
phylogenetic hypothesis for the subtribe Arctiina with the basic aim of clarifying the
phylogenetic position of the Wood Tiger Moth Parasemia plantaginis Hübner, a model
species in evolutionary ecology. We sampled 89 species in 52 genera within Arctiina s.l.,
11 species of Callimorphina and two outgroup species. We sequenced up to seven nuclear
genes (CAD, GAPDH, IDH, MDH, Ef1𝛼, RpS5, Wingless) and one mitochondrial gene
(COI) including the barcode region (a total of 5915 bp). Both maximum likelihood and
Bayesian inference resulted in a well-resolved phylogenetic hypothesis, consisting of
four clades within Arctiina s.s. and a clade comprising spilosomine species in addition
to Callimorphina and outgroups. Based on our results, we present a new classification,
where we consider the Diacrisia clade, Chelis clade, Apantesis clade, Micrarctia Seitz
and Arctia clade as valid genera within Arctiina s.s., whereas Rhyparia Hübner syn.n.
and Rhyparioides Butler syn.n. are synonymized with Diacrisia Hübner; Neoarctia
Neumoegen & Dyar syn.n., Tancrea Püngeler syn.n., Hyperborea Grum-Grshimailo
syn.n., Palearctia Ferguson syn.n., Holoarctia Ferguson syn.n., Sibirarctia Dubatolov
syn.n. and Centrarctia Dubatolov syn.n. are synonymized with Chelis Rambur;
Grammia Rambur syn.n., Orodemnias Wallengren syn.n., Mimarctia Neumoegen &
Dyar syn.n., Notarctia Smith syn.n. and Holarctia Smith syn.n. are synonymized with
Apantesis Walker; and Epicallia Hübner syn.n., Eucharia Hübner syn.n., Hyphoraia
Hübner syn.n., Parasemia Hübner syn.n., Pericallia Hübner syn.n., Nemeophila
Stephenssyn.n., Ammobiota Wallengren syn.n., Platarctia Packard syn.n., Chionophila
Guenée syn.n., Eupsychoma Grote syn.n., Gonerda Moore syn.n., Platyprepia Dyar
syn.n., Preparctia Hampson syn.n., Oroncus Seitz syn.n., Acerbia Sotavalta syn.n.,
Pararctia Sotavalta syn.n., Borearctia Dubatolov syn.n., Sinoarctia Dubatolov syn.n.
and Atlantarctia Dubatolov syn.n. are synonymized with Arctia Schrank, leading to 33
new genus-level synonymies. Our focal species Arctia plantaginis comb.n. is placed as
sister to Arctia festiva comb.n., another widespread aposematic species showing wing
pattern variation. Our molecular hypothesis can be used as a basis when adding more
species to the tree and tackling interesting evolutionary questions, such as the evolution
of warning signalling and mimicry in tiger moths.
