Tarsozeuzera Schoorl

Genus Details

Schoorl (1990) defined this genus on thickening of the first tarsomere of the proleg and/or hindleg. The facies is distinctive, as illustrated for T. fuscipars Hampson. Barlow (1982) recorded T. fuscipars Hampson for Borneo, but this was not included in the Part 1 treatment because a voucher specimen for Borneo could not be located. This has now been remedied as a male from Tongod in Sabah was noted in FRC, Sepilok. The genus contains T. fuscipars, T. kochi Semper (the type species; Philippines, Sulawesi) and two undescribed African species. Barlow (1982) noted Gliricidia (Leguminosae) as a host plant for fuscipars.
