Entomofauna carpathica, 2020, 32(2): 47-87 CONTRIBUTION TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF LITHOSIINI AND ARCTIINI (EREBIDAE, ARCTIINAE) OF CENTRAL AND NORTHERN LAOS, PART 4. 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 and Arctiini (Erebidae, Arctiinae) of central and northern Laos, part 4. Entomofauna carpathica, 32(2): 47-87. Abstract: This study is based on material of Lithosiini and Arctiini (Erebidae, Arctiinae) recorded in the Nakai (about 500 m), Bolikhamsai (200–300 m) and Huaphanh (1200–1900 m) areas of central and northern Laos. This fourth part lists 54 species, including descriptions of 4 new species: Teulisna varia n. sp., Microlithosia unicolora n. sp., Danielithosia dubatolovi n. sp. and Poliosia bilineata n. sp. They are listed below 3 new combinations: Teulisna fimbriata n. comb., Cernyia pseudobrevivalva n. comb. and Churinga nigripes n. comb. Key words: Erebidae, Lithosiini, Arctiini, new species, Laos, taxonomy MATERIAL AND METHODS The photos of adults were made with NIKON D700 and SONY DSC-WX220. Genitalia were mounted in microscopic slides using Canada balsam, morphological observations were made using and photographed by Digital USB 2,0 microscope camera (Micro Capture Pro). Subsequently the genitalia were demounted,preserved in glycerine in the test tubes and attached to the corresponding specimen. 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.

Paratypes. 2 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀ like holotype, CKB. Wingspan. Male 18 - 19 mm, female 20 - 22 mm. Holotype. Male 19 mm, antennae finely pectinated, head, thorax and abdomen ochreous, anal margin straw yellow. Forewing ochreous with a distinctive brown dust, patterning dark brown. Medial line intermittent, more pronounced on costa, slightly oblique towards the base. Postmedial line intermittent, more pronounced on costa, follows the outer margin. On termen a few dark dots, cilia ochreous. Hindwing light ochreous, subterminal area brown dusted, dust on apex more conspicuous. Male genitalia. Uncus long, nearly straight, with curved tip. Valva narrow, widened to the apex, apical lobe of valva markedly sclerotized, distal costal process very pronounced, on the apex with two small spikes. Juxta sclerotized, with distinct thin spike on both sides. Aedeagus with a large cornut, which is serrated on one side. A small field of cornuti, with a sclerotized, small, serrated plate inside. Female. Habitually the same as a male, but a little darker and more cinnamon in color. Female genitalia. Posterior apophysis and dorsal plate strongly sclerotized, ductus bursae very broad and sclerotized. Corpus bursae very markedly sclerotized, cylindrical in shape, completely filled with cornuti. Silmilar species: Habitually very similar species Teulisna tongdzuythanhi Dubatolov & Bucsek, but it has the forewing color more homogenous, the subterminal area of the hindwing is without brown dust. Teulisna mithunoides Černý is smaller. The main
