Étude Biométrique de Lymantria Dispar L. [Lep. Lymantriidae]: 2e partie: Analyse Multidimensionnelle de Trois Formes, Spéciation et Évolution

Abstract

Summary Multivariate analysis of three forms, speciation and evolution. After the study of their correlations, 22 variables for the females and 24 for the males are used in an multivariate analysis (D2 of Mahalanobis) for the morphological discrimination of the populations of France, Hokkaïdo and Honshu (Japan). The progressive analysis shows that 16 variables are sufficient (in each sex) to obtain a total discrimination. A discussion on speciation and evolution lead us to consider that the Honshu form is a distinct species: Lymantria japonica, the Hokkaïdo form being a subspecies of L. dispar; we give a redescription of these.
