Two NEW SPECIES OF GEOMETRID MOTHS (LEPIDOPTERA: GEOMETRIDAE: ENNOMINAE) FROM Cocos ISLAND, COSTA RICA JOHN W. BROWN,^ JULIAN P. DONAHUE,^ AND SCOTT E. MILLER^ ABSTRACT. Seventy-five species of Lepidoptera are recorded from Cocos Island, Costa Rica, including seven species in the Geometridae. Two of these species in the subfamily Ennominae, Oxydia hoguei new species and Phrygionis steeleorum new species, are described and figured. Oxydia hoguei appears to represent the sister species of the Caribbean O. lalanneorum Herbulot, 1985, on the basis of long- bipectinate antennae in the male and an associated long epiphysis and by the configuration and spination of the furca in the male genitalia. The two species can be separated by color pattern, shape of the furca, and size of spines on the gnathos. Phrygionis steeleorum can be distinguished from its congeners by the absence of metallic silver scaling on the medial band of the forewing and in the marginal "eye-spot" of the hindwing. The two new species are endemic to Cocos Island. The traditional biogeographic hypothesis of species colonization of Cocos Island and the Gal?pagos Archipelago by vagrants from the Central and South American mainland is questioned. (Addirional key words: eastern Pacific, vicariance biogeography, Caribbean, Oxydia hoguei, Phrygionis steeleorum.) INTRODUCTION Cocos Island is a small (46.6 km^ [18 mi^]) tropical eastern Pacific island situated midway between Cos- ta Rica and the Gal?pagos Archipelago (i'SZ'S/'N, 86''69'17"W), approximately 500 km (310 mi) from the Central American mainland. The island is whol- ly volcanic in origin; the highest point, Cerro Iglesi- as, reaches 849 m in elevation. The vegetation of Cocos Island is dense and luxuriant with a flora that includes over 200 species (Fosberg and Klawe, 1966). In a recent study of the entomofauna, Hogue and Miller (1981) reported approximately 75 species of Lepidoptera, including seven species of Geometri- dae. The purpose of this paper is to describe two of these species as new. Both appear to be endemic to this isolated island. MATERIALS AND METHODS Although Lepidoptera from Cocos Island were bor- rowed from all major United States institutions, only the collection of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (LACM) contained speci- mens of the two new species of Geometridae de- scribed here. Holotypes are deposited at the LACM; 1. Entomology Section, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, 900 Exposition Boulevard, Los An- geles, California 90007. 2.

Dissection techniques followed those presented by Powell (1964). Nomenclature forgenitalic struc- tures follows Klots (1970) and Rindge (1973). Fig- ures of the genitalia were drawn with the aid of a microprojector. Measurements were made using a standard grid mounted in a dissecting microscope. SYSTEMATICS GEOMETRIDAE: ENNOMINAE Oxydia hoguei new species Figures 1-4, 6-9 DIAGNOSIS. Superficially, O. hoguei can be dis- tinguished from its congeners by the conspicuous and contrasting yellowish ground color of the an- terior half of the dorsal surface of the hindwing, bearing a large solid-blackish and well-marked sub- apical quadrate spot, and the course of the forewing postmedian line, which is posteriorly concave then abruptly convex at vein M, and recurved proximally to the costa (this line is straight and terminates near the apex or is angled more acutely on most, if not Contributions in Science, Number 423, pp. 11-18 Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, 1991 Figures 1-4.

On the basis of the long-bipec- tinate male antenna and long epiphysis (about as long as the tibia), O. hoguei appears to be most closely related to O. lalanneorunt Herbulot, be- cause all other species of Oxydia have short-bi- pectinate (O. brevipecten Herbulot) or simple an- tennae and short epiphyses (i.e., about one-half the tibia length). The male genitalia of O. hoguei are most similar to those of O. lalanneorum in the shape of the furca and the size and distribution of 12 ?

Females of the two species are easily distinguished by color pattern (the female genitalia of O. lalanneorum have not been described). DESCRIPTION. Adult a large brightly patterned brown and yellow geometrid, with conspicuous bi- pectinate male antennae. The wing pattern is ex- tremely variable; no two specimens are identical in maculation.

Although Oxydia hoguei differs considerably from other species in the genus in general appearance and in the possession of bipec- tinate male antennae (a character state found in only two other recently described Caribbean species of Oxydia, O. lalanneorutn Herbulot, 1985, and O. brevipecten Herbulot, 1985), other features of adult morphology agree well with Rindge's (1957) defi- nition of the group. Putative synapomorphies for the genus include the distinctive furca and row of strong sclerotized spines on the gnathos. Other fea- tures of Oxydia Gu?nee, 1857, all of which may be found in one or more other genera of Ennomi- nae?often present or absent within the same ge- nus?include the following: male with row of bris- tles on the ventral surface of abdominal segment III, male with hairpencil concealed in slit of en- larged hindtibia, female genitalia with hemispher- ical stellate signum, outer margin of hindwing an- gulate midway, and hindwing with subapical submarginal dark macula (evanescent to distinct). According to Rindge (1983) and Herbulot (1985), the character state of bipectinate male antennae represents the plesiomorphic condition. On this ba- sis, O. hogue and O. lalanneorutn appear to rep- resent the most primitive members of the genus. The unique configuration of the furca and associ- ated brushlike spines represent a putative synapo- morphy supporting the sister status of these two species. Oxydia lignata (Warren, 1905) from the Gal?- pagos Archipelago (Rindge, 1973) is a diminutive species with similarities to O. hoguei and O. vesulia (Cramer, 1779) but distinct from both in several characteristics probably correlated with its small size (i.e., male forewing length = 14-16 mm): furcal lobe short, broad, and brushlike; unlobed vesica without distal ovate plate; and nearly unicolorous wing pattern. ETYMOLOGY. We take great pleasure in nam- ing this species after Charles L. Hogue, who was the first to collect specimens of this striking species in the course of his exhaustive survey of the en- tomofauna of Cocos Island. [NOTE: We follow Herbulot (1977:40; 1983:34) and Ferguson (1983:97) in placing Oxydia in the Ennominae, characterized by the absence of a tu- bular M2 vein in the hindwing. We assume that Fletcher's (1979:149) assignment of Oxydia to the Oenochrominae was in error.] Pbrygionis steeleorum new species Figures 5, 10,11 DIAGNOSIS. Phrygionis steeleorum can be dis- tinguished from all other species in the genus by the absence of metallic silver edging on the pale medial band of the forewing and the absence of metallic scaling in the marginal "eye-spot" of the hindwing. DESCRIPTION. Phrygionis steeleorum is a me- dium-sized gray-brown geometrid, with pale yellow antemedial and medial bands and a small marginal "eye-spot" on the hindwing between veins M^ and M3. Male. Head: Scaling on frons smooth, short, fawn brown; scaling on vertex short, suberect, concol- orous with frons. Antenna shortly bipectinate, inner rami approximately 0.5 the length of outer rami; basal 12 (more or less) segments of flagellum white- scaled ventrally, width of white line attenuating distally. Compound eyes well developed. Ocelli ves- tigial, minute, or apparently absent. Labial palpus short, extending slightly above ventral edge of frons. Thorax: Fawn brown; legs unmodified. Abdomen: Fawn brown; paired subdorsal patches of elongate scales (hairpencil) from posterior edge of segment VI. Forewing: Length 15.2-17.2 mm (x = 16.2; n = 2). Ground color gray-brown; medial band nar- row, diffuse, irregular, transverse, yellow, nearly perpendicular to costa at about half way from base, arched weakly to inner margin at ca 0.8 of distance from base, bordered proximally by irregular thin brown line; antemedial line yellow, irregular, ex- curved through cell and incurved over fold, bor- dered internally and externally with brown; ante- medial line widest below costa and above inner margin, sometimes incomplete; minute yellow basal dash on costa, and two black basal dots, proximally edged with yellow, perpendicularly arranged be- tween bases of CuP and second A. Fringe concol- orous with wing. Hindwing: Outer margin angled at M3, without tail. Ground proximally concolor- ous with forewing, then brown from inner edge of postmedial line to termen. Postmedial line narrow, yellow, evenly excurved, followed by a metallic silver line, interrupted across the veins to form a series of linear spots. Marginal "eye-spot" between M2 and M3 extending slightly into cell M,-M2; a narrow (widened proximally and distally) yellow ring; proximal 0.5-0.66 of area inside of ring or- ange, distally black, and a similar smaller adjacent "eye-spot" (ca. 0.3 times as large in cell Mj-CuP).

Prout (1933) listed 18 species in his treatment of Phrygionis H?bner, 1825, distributed from Florida to northern Argentina, with several species endemic to Caribbean islands (e.g., Jamaica, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominica, Martinique). Puta- tive synapomorphies for the genus include male antenna minutely bipectinate in middle (i.e., un- modified at base and tip), legs long and slender, male with paired hairpencil from enlarged base of sixth tergite [lacking in P. flavilimes (Warren, 1907) and P. sumptusaria (M?schler, 1886)], hindwing angled or tailed at distal end of vein M,, and fren- ulum absent. Figures 10 and 11 represent the first published genitalic illustrations of the genus. For comparisons of the adult moth with P. arg?ntala (Drury, 1773), illustrations of the latter can be found 16 ?

In the absence of comparative material from throughout the range of Phrygionis, it is premature to speculate on the phylogenetic position of P. stee- leorum within the genus. ETYMOLOGY. We taken pleasure in naming this species in honor of Richard, Elizabeth, and Patricia Steele, sponsors of the 1978 LACM ex- pedition to Cocos Island. DISCUSSION In addition to the two new ennomines described here, five other species of Geometridae have been collected on Cocos Island, one in each of the fol- lowing genera: Synchlora Guen?e, 1857 (Geome- trinae), Psaliodes Guen?e, 1857 (Larentiinae), Eu- pithecia Curtis, 1825 (Larentiinae), Idaea Treitschke, 1825 (Sterrhinae), and Tricentrogyna Prout, 1932 (Sterrhinae). Although these five species have not been studied adequately to render specific deter- minations (and even the generic assignments are equivocal for the Sterrhinae), it is likely that one or more represent undescribed species. It is possible that all seven geometrids recorded from Cocos Is- land are endemic to the island. A similar situation is evident on the Gal?pagos Archipelago, where 12 geometrids have been recorded: nine (75%) are en- demic; the other three are common widespread Neotropical species (Rindge, 1973), none of which has been recorded from Cocos Island. Cocos Is- land and the Gal?pagos Archipelago share only one genus, Oxydia, of which each supports a single endemic species. In his discussion of the geometrid fauna of the Gal?pagos Islands, Rindge (1973) suggests that its depauperate nature may be attributable to the rel- atively limited vagility of many species of geome- trids. He suggests that most of the resident species probably were blown out to the islands from the adjacent South and Central American mainland. Although it may seem likely that the fauna of the Central American mainland represents the species pools for the fauna of Cocos Island, phylogenetic affinities of some Cocos and Gal?pagos Islands in- sects with Caribbean congeners suggests a more complicated biogeographic scenario than simple colonization by vagrants from the mainland. These islands may have been part of the Eastern Pacific- Caribbean vicariant track created by the Early Ce- nozoic breakup of the postulated proto-Antilles ar- chipelago (Rosen, 1976:440). However, under- standing of the tectonics of the region continues to evolve (Donnelly, 1988), and the place of Cocos Island within the regional tectonic events is unclear. Cocos Island is the summit of a seamount on the submerged Cocos Ridge, a proposed trace of the Gal?pagos volcanic hot spot. Cocos Island is about 2 million years old, although it lies on a portion of the ridge that is Middle Miocene in age (Castillo et al., 1988). Thus the fauna of Cocos Island may represent a composite of vicariant relicts and recent invaders from the mainland. Such a hypothesis can be tested by careful phylogenetic analyses of taxa that occur on Cocos Island and the Gal?pagos Archipelago, the Central and South American mainland, and is- lands of the Caribbean. For example, Mathis and Wirth (1978) found Paracanace hoguei Mathis and Wirth, 1978 (Diptera: Canacidae), which is endemic to Cocos Island, to be the sister group to the species pair P. aicea Mathis and Wirth, 1978, and P. leban Mathis and Wirth, 1978, which are restricted to the West Indies. A similar biogeographic pattern is illustrated by Oxydia; the sister species of the en- demic O. hoguei from Cocos Island appears to be O. lalanneorum from Guadeloupe Island in the West Indies. Further corroboration of this pattern awaits detailed revisions of taxa that have species endemic to Cocos Island, Central America, and the Caribbean regions. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We thank D.S.
