The genus Eugoa Walker, 1858 belongs to the tribe Lithosiini and occurs across the Old World, excluding the Western Palearctic Region. Currently, it contains around 120 species, most of them distributed across Asia (Bucsek 2016a, b; Dubatolov & Bucsek 2016; Schaus 1922). Ten additional species have been described from Australasia (Bethune-Baker 1904; Rothschild 1915). Since the 19th century, several authors have addressed the taxonomy of the genus Eugoa (Buscek 2008, 2012, 2016a, b; Černý & Bucsek 2014; Hampson 1891, 1898, 1900; Rothschild 1915; Seitz 1914; Van Eecke 1930), but only a few described their habitat preferences (e.g. Holloway 2001). These small to medium sized moths with brown, or brown—cream coloured forewings inhabit a wide range of forest types (e.g. alluvial, dipterocarp, heath, kerangas, etc.) from mangroves and lowland-coastal forests (about 300m asl) up to upper montane forests (about 1500 m asl). Unfortunately, life history data for species in the genus Eugoa still remain unavailable. Here, we present a new species from Guadalcanal Island recovered by M. Rindoš during a study of the Lepidoptera collection of NMPC. One male specimen was caught at light at the edge of the upper parts of a secondary lowland forest and a clearing on a hill (Fig. 1). Photos of adults were made on a Leica DFC 450 camera (Leica Planapo 0.5x WD 187 mm objective). Morphological observations of genitalia were done using a microscopic glass and Canada balsam on a Leica M205FA and photographed with an additional Canon EOS 60D camera. Subsequently genitalia were demounted and stored in a tube with glycerine under the studied specimen. Later, post-shooting photo corrections were made in Adobe Photoshop CS6.

(Figs. 2, 3, 5) Diagnosis. As to the nearest relative of the new species, based on the morphology of the genitalia, we can consider Eugoa silvia Bucsek, 2016 (Fig. 4) from Halmahera Island, Moluccas, Indonesia. Eugoa salomonica, sp. nov. differs from E. silvia by having a slightly smaller body size, different pattern in the discal area of the forewings, where the newly described species has a dark brown subreniform spot instead of the straight strip connecting the postbasal and postdiscal stripes. Also the postdiscal stripe is without a notch on the outer margin. The male genitalia of E. silvia differs by the shape of the valve lacking an evident tip on the end and marginal serration (Fig. 6). The juxta is without a sclerotized top with spines. The phallus is smaller and less curved and the basal diverticulum has a longer and sharper tip. Type material.

The survey came about following a request from Tai Po Environmental Association. Recording, using ultraviolet light sources and live traps in four sub-sites, took place on the evenings of 24 April and 16 October 2009. In total, 825 moths representing 352 species were recorded. Of the species recorded, 3 meet IUCN Red List criteria for threatened species in one of the three main categories “Critically Endangered” (one species), “Endangered” (one species) and “Vulnerable” (one species” and a further 13 species meet “Near Threatened” criteria. Twelve of the species recorded are currently only known from Hong Kong, all are within one of the four IUCN threatened or near threatened categories listed. Seven species are recorded from Hong Kong for the first time. The moth assemblages recorded are typical of human disturbed forest, feng shui woods and orchards, with a relatively low Geometridae component, and includes a small number of species normally associated with agriculture and open habitats that were found in the SSSI site. Comparisons showed that each sub-site had a substantially different assemblage of species, thus the site as a whole should retain the mosaic of micro-habitats in order to maintain the high moth species richness observed.

    258 ZOOLOGISCHE MEDEDEELINGEN — DEEL IX. XIV. — DE HETEROCERA VAN SUMATRA - III -. DOOR R. VAN EECKE. (MET 6 TEXTFIGUREN EN 2 GEKLEURDE PLATEN). Subfamilie B: Lithosiinae. De Lithosiinen gelijken, in rustenden toestand, vaak op Blattiden of Kakkerlakken, daar zij de breede achtervleugels onder de over het alge- meen smalle, lancetvormige voorvleugels opvouwen en deze gewoonlijk nog over elkaar heengeschoven worden, zoodat de vleugels nauwelijks breeder zijn dan het lichaam. Daarbij komt nog het snelle wegloopen en wegkruipen onder afgevallen bladeren, gras enz. Zij vliegen 's nachts meer dan overdag en nooit ver, laten zich spoedig vallen en kunnen springen. De voorvleugels der meeste soorten zijn opvaliend geteekend met banden en strepen ; de achtervleugels meestal eenkleurig bruin, grijs, wit of geel. De kop is breed met uitpuilende kleine zwarte oogen; de antennen zijn vrij kort, draadvormig of kort gekamd, dikwijls met haarbosjes aan de bases. De palpen zijn recht en kort, soms gebogen, het lichaam is teer, in tegenstelling met dat der Noctui'den enz. De rupsen der Lithosiinen gelijken veel op elkaar; zij leven bijna alle op korstmossen aan boomen, steenen enz.; zij zijn behaard en met wratjes bezet. Bij verontrusting laten zij zich aan een draad zakken om op den grond zich uit de voeten te maken. De spinsels der poppen zijn los uit haren vervaardigd en worden soms aan een draad of een steel vastgemaakt. DETERMINATIE-TABEL VOOR ENKELE GENERA. I. Voorvleugelader 5 ontbreekt. A.

PART I SPHINGES AND BOMB WITH EIGHT PLAJOES 0;cfor5 AT THE CLARENDON PRESS 1892 PRINTED AT THE CLARENDON PRKSS EY HORACE HART, PRINT .!< TO THE UNIVERSITY PREFACE At the request of Professor Westwood, and under the orders and sanction of the Delegates of the Press, this work is being produced as a students' handbook to all the Eastern Moths in the Oxford University Museum, including chiefly the Walkerian types of the moths collected by Wal- lace in the Malay Archipelago, which for many years have been lost sight of and forgotten for want of a catalogue of reference. The Oxford University Museum collection of moths is very largely a collection of the types of Hope, Saunders, Walker, and Moore, many of the type specimens being unique and of great scientific value. All Walker's types mentioned in his Catalogue of Hetero- cerous Lepidoptera in the British Museum as ' in coll. Saun- ders ' should be in the Oxford Museum, as also the types of all the species therein mentioned by him as described in Trans. Ent. Soc, Lond., 3rd sen vol. i. The types of all the species mentioned in Walker's cata- logue which have a given locality preceding the lettered localties showing that they are in the British Museum should also be in the Oxford Museum. In so far as this work has proceeded this has been proved to be the case by the correct- vi PREFACE.

VAN EECKE. — (MET 22 TEKSTF1GUREN). Sinds het jaar 1910, waarin Snellen zijne laatste publicatie gaf over eene Sumatraansche Zygaenide, is er in Nederlandsche tijdschriften al zeer weinig verschenen over de Heterocera-fauna onzer Oost-Indische kolonien. Ware Snellen blijven leven, zoo zou hij ongetwijfeld nog vele beschrijvingen van nieuwe soorten gegeven hebben, gezien de bianco naametiketten, die zelfs nu nog in zijne collectie en in die van Piepers te vinden zijn, Nu deze verzamelingen met die van Heylaerts in 'sRijks Museum van Natuurlijke Historie ondergebracht zijn en met de oorspron- kelijke museum-collectie zijn samengevoegd en alles, met de aanwinsten der laatste 10 jaren is gerangschikt, mag met de systematische bewer- king van dit belangrijke materiaal niet langer getalmd worden. Onder de aanwinsten verdient bovenal vermelding eene, weliswaar kleine, col• lectie Heterocera, welke door den heer Edw. Jacobson op Simaloer en op Sumatra bijeengebracht werd. Dit omvangrijk materiaal bevat niet alleen een aantal onbekende vor- men, doch geeft ook veel wetenswaardigs omtrent de geographische distribute van verscheidene soorten over ons eilandengebied en omtrent de synonymie van enkele, tot nog toe gescheiden, soorten.

Although such faunistic studies were conducted extensively in the region during the first decade of the early 20th century, there are a few new taxa, taxonomic revisions, misidentifications, and misspellings, which should be documented. We examined 1,276 species in 652 genera, 59 subfamilies, and 15 families. We propose 4 new combinations, namely Arichanna refracta Inoue, 1978 stat. nov.; Psyra matsumurai Bastelberger, 1909 stat. nov.; Olene baibarana (Matsumura, 1927) comb. nov.; and Cerynia usuguronis (Matsumura, 1927) comb. nov.. The noctuid Blepharita alpestris Chang, 1991 is regarded as a junior synonym of Mamestra brassicae (Linnaeus, 1758) (syn. nov.). The geometrids Palaseomystis falcataria (Moore, 1867 [1868]), Venusia megaspilata (Warren, 1895), and Gandaritis whitelyi (Butler, 1878) and the erebid Ericeia elongata Prout, 1929 are newly recorded in the fauna of Taiwan.

Research article New genera and problematic species in African Lithosiinae (Lepidoptera, Arctiidae, Lymantriidae) Antonio DURANTE Museo di Storia Naturale del Salento, via Europa, 95. 73021 Calimera, Italy. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. This paper deals with some problematic species in the subfamily Lithosiinae. Two new monospecifi c genera are proposed: Parafrasura gen. nov. and Palaeugoa gen. nov. The former presents the following autapomorphies: tegumen strong and large; uncus long and slightly claviform; typical scaphium-gnathos complex. The latter presents as autapomorphies the disposition of the bands of the wings pattern, and the male genitalia shape. Asura naumanni Kühne, 2005 is considered incertae sedis within Lithosiinae and Asura phaeosticta Kiriakoff, 1958 is transferred to Euproctis Hübner, [1819] (Lymantriidae) (comb. nov.). Key words.

E-mail: [email protected] 2) Podjavorinskej 7, SL-811 03 Bratislava, Slovakia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract 14 new Lithosiinae species Cernyia kosterini sp. nov., Poliosia solovyevi sp. nov., Nishada schintlmeisteri sp. nov., Lyclene zinchenkoi sp. nov., L. kosterini sp. nov., L. kepica sp. nov., L. kontumica sp. nov., Barsine honbaensis sp. nov., B. y-nigrum sp. nov., Chamaita hamata sp. nov., Aemene monastyrskii sp. nov., Eugoa nata sp. nov., Neoduma alexeikorshunovi sp. nov. and Cyclomilta cambodiaca sp. nov. are described from South-East Asia. Holotypes of new species are deposited in the Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals (Novosibirsk, Russia). Eilema arizana (Wileman, 1910) from Taiwan and E. furcatus Fang, 2000 from Hainan are transferred into Cernyia Bucsek, 2012: C. arizana (Wileman, 1910), comb. nov., C. furcatus (Fang, 2000), comb. nov. Introduction During last 10 years, several Russian entomologists collected moths in different countries of South- East Asia, mainly in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. This region was covered with comprehensive investigations of some Macrolepidoptera groups only in recent few years, and one of the first groups became Arctiidae, recently downgraded to a subfamily in the Noctuoidea family Erebidae (Zahiri et al., 2010). There are two main guides to Arctiinae, including Lithosiini, from this tropical territory: Černý & Pinratana (2009) for Thailand, and Bucsek (2012) for Malay Peninsula.
