Abstract
Almost 90 years have passed after the last publication of a catalogue of the family Zygaenidae of the world (Bryk, 1936). At that time there was no correct understanding of the taxonomic, genetic and ecological framework of the subfamily Procridinae. Many species of this subfamily were included into the Chalcosiinae and Zygaeninae. A new contemporary annotated catalogue consisting of five tribes, 94 genera and 570 species of Procridinae is provided. This is the first ever published complete worldwide catalogue of the subfamily. All together, 1111 taxa (including synonyms) are discussed. Three new tribes (Thyrassiini, tribus nov., Pollanisini tribus nov. and Cleleini tribus nov.), two new genera (Afromalamblia gen. nov. and Psudohedina gen. nov.) as well as four new subgenera (Longiterna subgen. nov., Afroterna subgen. nov., Obscuriterna subgen. nov., and Eurasiterna subgen. nov.) aredescribed. 36 comb. nov., 14 stat. nov. and 3 syn. nov. are established.
