Hyperlais argillacealis is a species of moth in the family Crambidae described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1847. It is found in Croatia, the Republic of Macedonia, Greece and on Sicily and Crete. [1]
Hyperlais argillacealis is a moth species within the family Crambidae, subfamily Cybalomiinae. Originally described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1847, it was initially classified under the genus Botys as Botys argillacealis. Subsequent taxonomic revisions have placed it in the genus Hyperlais. [2] This species has been recorded in several European countries, including Croatia, North Macedonia, Greece, and on the islands of Sicily and Crete. Data from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) corroborate its presence in these regions. [3] Genetic information for H. argillacealis is available through the Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD), which houses DNA barcode sequences and specimen records, facilitating molecular identification and phylogenetic studies [4]
