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.
