A New Species

A new genus Burmanyctycia gen. n. is described for the new species Burmanyctycia naumanni sp. n. from Chin State in north-western Myanmar. The new genus is related to the genera Blepharomima Hreblay & L. Ronkay, 1998, Bryotypella Hreblay & L. Ronkay, 1998 and Charanyctycia Hreblay & L. Ronkay, 1998. Two new synonyms are established: Bryotypella = Paranyctycia Hreblay & L. Ronkay, 1998, syn. n. and Bryotypella = Parabole Hreblay & L. Ronkay, 1998, syn. n. Six new combinations are established: Bryotypella minima (Hreblay & L. Ronkay, 1999), comb. n., Bryotypella miraculosa (Hreblay, Peregovits & L. Ronkay, 1999), comb. n., Bryotypella orbiculosa (Hreblay & L. Ronkay, 1998), comb. n., Bryotypella rubiculosa (Hreblay & Ronkay, 1999), comb. n., Bryotypella medionigra (Hreblay & Ronkay, 1998), comb. n. and Bryotypella rectilinea (Hreblay & L. Ronkay, 1998), comb. n. The check-lists of the genera Bryotypella and Charanyctycia are provided. Adults, male and female genitalia of the new and the related taxa are illustrated.

Bergiantina, a new Agaristinae genus, is described. The genus contains 8 species. Three were previously assigned to Aucula Walker: Metagarista hilzingeri Berg, Euthisanotia magnifica Schaus, and Aucula schausi Jörgensen. Two were previously assigned to Erocha Walker: Heterocampa dolens Druce and Erocha trita Druce. Three new species are described: Bergiantina intermedia, B. parva, and B. familiae. Bergiantina can be distinguished from other Agaristinae by its distinctive forewing pattern with white patches or stripes associated with the postmedial line. Other diagnostic characters include: male genitalia with moderately asymmetric valves, aedoeagus with an apical sclerotized horn-like dorsal projection, and female genitalia with a thin, membranous ductus bursae 3x as long as anterior apophysis. Adults and male and female genitalia are described and illustrated, and a key to species provided. One new synonymy is established and two lectotypes are designated.

Two new species of the genus Stenoloba Staudinger, 1892 are described from the northwestern Yunnan Province of China. Stenoloba herbacea sp. n. belongs to the Stenoloba nigrabasalis Chang, 1991 species-group and is most similar to Stenoloba ochribasis Kononenko & Ronkay, 2001 described from Laos. Stenoloba pontezi sp. n. belongs to the Stenoloba manleyi (Leech, 1889) species-group and is most similar to Stenoloba viridibasis Han & Kononenko, 2009 described from Yunnan. Adults, male and female genitalia of new species are illustrated.

The new genus Anabelcia gen. n. (Type species Belciana kala Prout, 1924) is separated from the heterogeneous complex called“Belciana” (sensu auctorum) and described here. Four new combinations are introduced by transferring four species to the genus Anabelcia: A. kala (Prout, 1924) (Belciana) comb. n., A. nepalensis (Haruta, 1993) (Belciana) comb. n., stat. rev., A. siitanae (Remm, 1983) (Belciana) comb. n. and A. staudingeri (Leech, 1900) (Polydesma) comb. n. The status of the subspecies Anabelcia kala nepalensis (Haruta, 1993) is is changed, the taxon is upgraded to full species (stat. n.). Two new species, A. thai sp. n. and A. taiwana sp. n. are described. The imagines, male and female genitalia of all species of Anabelcia are illustrated. The checklist of the genus Anabelcia is presented.

The new genus Viridistria gen. n. (type-species Ancara viridipicta Hampson, 1902) is separated and described from the heterogeneous complex “Belciana.” Two new species, Viridistria secreta sp. n. and Viridistria hollowayi sp. n. are described from North Vietnam, Sumatra and Borneo. Three new combinations are introduced: Viridistria thoracica (Moore, 1882) comb. n., Viridistria viridipicta (Hampson, 1902), comb. n. and Viridistria striatovirens (Moore, 1883), comb. n.). The adults, male and female genitalia are illustrated. A checklist of the genus Viridistria is presented.

A New Species

The tribe Xylenini Guenée, is especially rich in the Himalayan region with the highest diversity occurring during the late fall and winter. Exploration of this fauna has a rich history but became especially intensive during recent decades resulting in many new descriptions. Milestones in this vast territorial study by country include Pakistan (Ronkay & Ronkay 1999), India (Hacker 1992), Nepal (Hreblay & Ronkay 1998, Benedek et al. 2013), Taiwan (Hreblay & Ronkay 1997; 2000, Ronkay & Ronkay 2000) Thailand, Vietnam (Hreblay et al. 1999) and China (Ronkay et al. 2010, Benedek et al. 2012; 2013). To this list we now add the mountainous areas of Myanmar which have only recently become accessible. During a late fall collecting trip to Western Myanmar, three specimens of a strange looking noctuid species externally somewhat similar to the Western Himalayan Mniotype leucocyma (Hampson, 1907) were collected. After examination of its male and female genitalia, this species was proven to be new to science. Moreover, the male genitalia of the new species show a surprisingly unusual complex of features, some of which, together with the female genitalia, are characteristic and decisively significant to the subtribe Xylenina. The male and female genitalia of this species are most similar to those of the genera Eupsilia Hübner and Owadaglaea Hacker & Ronkay, however, these genitalia have certain autapomorphic characters which clearly justify separation on generic level. The description of the new genus and species is given below with a comparison to the related Eupsilia and Owadaglaea, several other related genera (Lithophane Hübner, Conistra Hübner and Xylena Ochsenheimer) and the externally similar M. leucocyma as well.

Two New Species

In the present paper, two new species, Barsine persephone Volynkin & Černý, sp. nov. (N Thailand and N Vietnam), and Barsine asotoida Volynkin & Černý, sp. nov. (SW China and N Myanmar) are described. A new combination is established: Barsine specialis (Fang, 1991), comb. nov. Both new species belong to the Barsine prominens (Moore, 1878) species-group, and, as well as B. specialis have unusual for the genus dark brown forewing coloration. Adult, male and female genitalia are illustrated.

The East Asian noctuid genus Lophomilia Warren, 1913 (=Atuntsea Berio, 1977, Bryograpta Sugi, 1977) is revised. Four new species (L. nekrasovi sp. n., L. rustica sp. n., L. diehli sp. n., and L. kobesi sp. n.) are described from Russian Far East, Korea, China and Indonesia, Sumatra. Lophomilia takao Sugi, 1962 and Lophomilia albicosta Yoshimoto 1995 are reported for the first time from China; Lophomilia polybapta (Butler, 1879) is first reported from Russia. The male and female genitalia of most species are described, adults of 12 species from East Asia are illustrated, and distribution maps for all species are presented.
