摘要：
A new genus and species of Spilomelinae (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae) from the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. - Cheverella galapagensis Landry, gen. n. and sp. n. is described as an endemic of the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. Based on a combination of two apomorphies (reduced uncus and presence of setose pads on anterodorsal extensions of the male valva medially) this taxon is possibly related to Choristostigma Warren, now placed in the Hydriris group of Munroe (1995), but Cheverella lacks the setose projection at base of the valve's costa present in Choristostigma. The female has a clearly circumscribed corpus bursae with a short, spine-like signum. Cheverella also shares a few characters with members of the Siga group. The larva is a borer in stems of the endemic Tournefortia pubescens Hook. f (Boraginaceae).
