Introduction first time from the Yunnan Province, China. All species are deposited in the collections of Northeast Forestry Univer- More than 4,400 species of the tribe Lithosiini have been sity, China. recorded in the world (Kitching and Rawlins 1999). Some scholars have treated the tribe as a higher-level taxon, the subfamily Systematic accounts Lithosiinae (Kitching and Rawlins 1999). The subfamily Lith- osiinae was included in Noctuidae (Fibiger and Lafontaine 2005; Genus Nudaria Haworth, 1809 Lafontaine and Fibiger 2006). Recently, the systematics of Noc- tuoidea have been discussed and treated again according to combined molecular and morphological techniques by Zahiri et al Nudaria Haworth, 1809: 156. TS: Phalaena (Tortrix) mundana (2011, 2012), from which the subfamily Lithosiinae is treated as a Linnaeus, 1761. tribe of Arctiinae within the family Erebidae. In addition, a new Nelopa Billberg, 1820: 85. TS: Phalaena mundana Linnaeus, 1761. arrangement has been given for the tribe according to Holloway’s Derrhis Wallengren, 1885: 259. TS: Phalaena mundana (2001) research on the tribe Lithosiini in Borneo. In China, C.-L. Linnaeus, 1761. Fang (2000) has made a significant contribution to the research Palaeopsis Hampson, 1893: 86. TS: Palaeopsis diaphanella on the family Arctiidae since the 1960s, culminating in a Hampson, 1893. comprehensive report of the systematics of Chinese Lithosiini Gymnochroma Hampson, 1900: xix, 92, 537. TS: Nudaria fulvipicta presented in “Fauna Sinica”, which included 75 genera and 336 Hampson, 1896. species. Among them, only three species of the genus Nudaria Palaeopsis (Lithosianae), Hampson, 1900:531. were recorded: N. suffusa Hampson, 1894, N. fumidisca Hampson, Nudaria (Lithosianae), Hampson, 1900:533. 1896,andN. margaritacea Walker, 1865. In this study, two spe- Nudaria fasciata Moore, 1878 cies, Nudaria fasciata and N. phallustortens, are reported for the Nudaria fasciata Moore, 1878: 36.
