Contribution to the Knowledge of Lithosiini (Erebidae, Arctiinae) of Central and Northern Laos, Part 2 Entomofauna carpathica, 2020, 32(1): 67-94 CONTRIBUTION TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF LITHOSIINI (EREBIDAE, ARCTIINAE) OF CENTRAL AND NORTHERN LAOS, PART 2. Karol BUCSEK Slovak Academy of Sciences, Institute of Zoology, Dúbravská cesta 9, 845 06 Bratislava, Slovak republic; e-mail: [email protected] BUCSEK, K. 2020. Contribution to the knowledge of Lithosiini (Erebidae, Arctiinae) of central and northern Laos, part 2. Entomofauna carpathica, 32(1): 67-94. Abstract: The work brings the results of the research of Lithosiini (Erebidae, Arctiinae) of central and northern Laos in the Nakai (about 500 m), Bolikhamsai (200 - 300 m) and Huaphanh (1200 - 1900 m) areas. This second part lists 35 species, including 10 new species: Asuridia huaphanha n. sp., Miltochrista tenera n. sp., Miltochrista vidlickai n. sp., Miltochrista khammouanea n. sp., Miltochrista rolleri n. sp., Miltochrista parvulus n. sp., Miltochrista parallelinaformis n. sp., Miltochrista explanata n. sp., Miltochrista flavorosea n. sp., Miltochrista unica n. sp. Key words: Erebidae, Lithosiini, new species, Laos, taxonomy INTRODUCTION Arctiinae from the territory of Laos are little known untill now. The data on individual species are published in the works, e.g. FANG 2000, ČERNÝ & PINRATANA 2009, BUCSEK 2012, 2014, ČERNÝ 2016. MATERIAL AND METHODS The photos of adults were made with NIKON D700. Genitalia were mounted in microscopic slides using Canada balsam, morphological observations were made using Leica M205C stereomicroscope and photographed with attached Digital Camera Leica DFC295, subsequently were genitalia demounted and applies on label under adults (preserved in glycerine in test tubes). Post- shooting image processing was done using the software Adobe® Photoshop CS5. Holotypes are stored in the Slovak National Museum, Bratislava, paratypes in the collection of Karol Bucsek.

Volynkin, A. V. — Statuses of the lithosiinae genera Sesapa Walker, 1854 and Nipponasura Inoue, 1965 are revised, Sesapa is treated as a valid distinct genus and Nipponasura is downgraded here as a subgenus of Sesapa. Male and female genitalia of Sesapa and male vesica of Nipponasura are described and illustrated for the fi rst time. A new combination is established: Sesapa (Sesapa) sanguinea (Moore, 1877), comb. n.

Key words: Lithosiini, Nudariina, Asia, Japan, China, revised status, replacement name, new combination. Introduction Th e Asura / Miltochrista generic complex is one of the largest and taxonomically most diffi cult Lithosiini groups including several hundreds of species distributed in Afrotropical, Oriental, Palaearctic and Australian Regions. Systematics of the Oriental and partly Palaearctic members of the generic complex was reviewed by Holloway (2001), and those of the Afrotropical members by Durante (2008; 2009; 2012). Th e genus Sesapa was erected by Walker (1854) for a single species Sesapa inscripta Walker, 1854. Hamp- son (1900) synonymized it with Miltochrista, and at present several other taxa originally described as Sesapa by diff erent authors (Butler, 1877; Moore, 1877) are placed to the genera Miltochrista and Barsine (Holloway, 2001; Kirti, Singh, 2015).

Abstract Lithosiini genera of the Asura / Miltochrista generic complex related to Barsine Walker, 1854 sensu lato and Asura Walker, 1854 are overviewed. Barsine is considered to be a group having such an autapomorphic feature as a basal saccular process of valva only. Many species without this process are separated to the diverse and species-rich genus Ammatho stat. nov., which is subdivided here into eight subgenera including Idopterum Hampson, 1894 downgraded here to a subgenus level, and six new subgenera: Ammathella Volynkin, subgen. nov., Composine Volynkin, subgen. nov., Striatella Volynkin & Huang, subgen. nov., Conicornuta Volynkin, subgen. nov., Delineatia Volynkin & Huang, subgen. nov. and Rugosine Volynkin, subgen. nov. A number of groups of species considered previously by various authors as members of Barsine are erected here to 20 new genera and four subgenera: Ovipennis (Barsipennis) Volynkin, subgen.

  • Lepidoptera of a Raised Bog and Adjacent Forest in Lithuania
    Eur. J. Entomol. 101: 63–67, 2004 ISSN 1210-5759 Lepidoptera of a raised bog and adjacent forest in Lithuania DALIUS DAPKUS Department of Zoology, Vilnius Pedagogical University, Studentų 39, LT–2004 Vilnius, Lithuania; e-mail: [email protected] Key words. Lepidoptera, tyrphobiontic and tyrphophilous species, communities, raised bog, wet forest, Lithuania Abstract. Studies on nocturnal Lepidoptera were carried out on the Laukėnai raised bog and the adjacent wet forest in 2001. Species composition and abundance were evaluated and compared. The species richness was much higher in the forest than at the bog. The core of each lepidopteran community was composed of 22 species with an abundance of higher than 1.0% of the total catch. Tyrpho- philous Hypenodes humidalis (22.0% of all individuals) and Nola aerugula (13.0%) were the dominant species in the raised bog community, while tyrphoneutral Pelosia muscerda (13.6%) and Eilema griseola (8.3%) were the most abundant species at the forest site. Five tyrphobiotic and nine tyrphophilous species made up 43.4% of the total catch on the bog, and three and seven species, respectively, at the forest site, where they made up 9.2% of all individuals. 59% of lepidopteran species recorded on the bog and 36% at the forest site were represented by less than five individuals. The species compositions of these communities showed a weak similarity. Habitat preferences of the tyrphobiontic and tyrphophilous species and dispersal of some of the species between the habi- tats are discussed. INTRODUCTION (1996). Ecological terminology is that of Mikkola & Spitzer (1983), Spitzer & Jaroš (1993), Spitzer (1994): tyrphobiontic The insect fauna of isolated raised bogs in Europe is species are species that are strongly associated with peat bogs, unique in having a considerable portion of relict boreal while tyrphophilous taxa are more abundant on bogs than in and subarctic species (Mikkola & Spitzer, 1983; Spitzer adjacent habitats.

  • (Lepidoptera: Heterocera) of Jeli, Kelantan, Malaysia N. FAUZI , K
    Malayan Nature Journal 2013, 65(4), 280-287 A preliminary checklist of macromoths (Lepidoptera: Heterocera) of Jeli, Kelantan, Malaysia N. FAUZI1, K. HAMBALI1 , F.K. EAN1, N.S. SUBKI1, S.A. NAWAWI1, and M. H. JAMALUDIN2 Abstract : Limited information is available on moth diversity in the Jeli District of Kelantan. An initial checklist of moths at three sites, namely Gunung Stong Tengah State Park, Jeli Permanent Forest Reserve and Gemang within the Jeli district, Kelantan was documented. A total of 161 species was recorded and included in the list. Keywords: Checklist, Macromoths, Lepidoptera, Jeli, Kelantan. INTRODUCTION Studies on moth diversity in different habitats and conditions in Malaysia such as tropical rainforest (Barlow 1989; Schulze and Fiedler 1997), lowland tropical rainforest (Robinson & Tuck ,1993; Intachat and Holloway, 2000), hill dipterocarp forest (Abang and Karim, 2005), peat swamp forest (Abang and Karim 1999) and plantation area (Chey 1994) elucidated that the diversity values differs due to the difference in vegetation types, altitudes and status of the forest. The highest diversity of macromoths was found from the lower montane forest at the altitude of about 1000m (Holloway 1984). Conversely, the sites of the mixed dipterocarp forest, mostly has low diversity value (Holloway 1984). One of the factors that have been considered as contributing to the lower moth diversity in the lowland areas is the predominance of dipterocarps, which are known to have a high content of alkaloids (defense against insects) in their foliage (Holloway 1984). The study on the zonation in the Lepidoptera of northern Sulawesi found that the highest diversity is found in the range of 600m to 1000m (Holloway et al.

Pešić: 19 October 2020 │ Published online 22 October 2020. Abstract A new species of the genus Miltochrista Hübner, [1819], Miltochrista bachma Volynkin & Derzhinsky, sp. nov. is described from the Bạch Mã National Park in central Vietnam. The diagnostic comparison is made with Miltochrista testata (Černý, 2016) described from southern Vietnam and Miltochrista lyclenoides Černý, 2016 described from central Laos. Adults, male and female genitalia of the new and both similar species are illustrated. Key words: Vietnam, Laos, new species, male genitalia, taxonomy. Introduction Miltochrista in its current treatment is one of the largest genera of lichen-moths (family Erebidae, subfamily Arctiinae, tribe Lithosiini, subtribe Nudariina). It belongs to the Asura / Miltochrista generic complex and is distributed widely in the Oriental and Palaearctic Regions. The basic checklist of the genus was recently provided by Volynkin et al. (2019), who included into the genus (in wide sense) 206 species and 10 subspecies.
