(Figs. 1, 9)
Diagnosis. This new species can be distinguished by the very large wing­span, the black base of forewing, the very large and broad papillae analis, the finely sclerotized transverse wrinkles at the anterior half of the ductus bursae, the rather large and well sclerotized signum, and the small corpus bursae.
Description (Fig. 9). Wing­span 26.0– 32.5 mm. Antennae with basal 2/3 yellowish white, terminal 1/3 fuscous. Labial palpus fuscous, upcurved, second segment as long as the third, 2.0–2.5 times as long as first. Maxillary palpus fuscous, aigrettelike, 0.5 length of second segment of labial palpus. Foreleg, midleg, and hindleg fuscous except trochanter, base of femur, and terminal end of tibia sprinkled white. Forewing large and broad, with fuscous ground color, costa and basal area black; the scale ridge blackish fuscous, near to the antemedial line and extended from hind margin to costa; antemedial line whitish, incurved at veins M2 and A, outer edge bordered by thin black line; postmedial line indistinct, gray, incurved deeply at M1; discal spots fuscous, connected as lunate. Hindwing semi­translucent, veins and fringe darker, cilia gray.
Female genitalia (Fig. 1). Papillae analis long and broad, only slightly shorter than ductus bursae. Apophyses posteriores somewhat longer than apophyses anteriores. Antrum funnel­shaped, lateral sides with anterior 3/4 incurved, anterior margin only 1/3 as wide as posterior margin. Ductus bursae nearly as long as antrum, posterior 1/2 with dense micro­spines, anterior 1/2 with many finely sclerotized transverse wrinkles. Corpus bursae short, elliptical in shape, 1.7 times as long as ductus bursae and 2.0 times as long as its greatest width, signum large, nipple­like, at anterior 1/3 of corpus bursae. Ductus seminalis from posterior end of corpus bursae.
Type material. Holotype female, Yunnan: Xishuangbanna (22.0°N, 100.5°E), 1200– 1600 m, 20.07.1958, leg. Shuyong Wang. Paratypes: 1 female, Fujian: Mt. Wuyi (26.5°N, 116.4°E), 1800 m, 27.07.2000, leg. Shimei Song; 1 female, Sichuan: Mt. Emei (29.3°N, 103.2°E), 1800–1900 m, 28.07.1957, leg. Keren Huang.
Distribution: China (Sichuan, Fujian, Yunnan).
Etymology. The specific name refers to the black basal area of forewing.
Remarks. The new species resembles C. ophthalmicella (Christoph) in the finely sclerotized, transverse wrinkles of the anterior half of the ductus bursae, but can be distinguished by the large wing­span, the black base of the forewing, the short corpus bursae, and the large signum.

Cryptomya (Venatomya) semistriata (Hanley 1842) — Huber (2010): 766.
Material examined. MBM no.73M-030 (Holotype) (1 articutate shell), Jiaozhou Bay, China, collected by Qi Zhong-yan, on October 30th, 1973; MBM no.57M-101 (not no.56M-101 by Xu 1987) (Paratype) (1 articutate shell), in sand, Rudong, Jiangsu Province, China, collected by Ma Xiu-tong, on June 10th, 1956.
Distribution and habitat. Recent. Jiaozhou Bay, China; Rudong, Jiangsu Province, China. Habitat unknown.
Type locality. Jiaozhou Bay, China.
Diagnosis. Length to 20 mm; shell globose; umbo prominent, situated subcentral and prosogyrate; periostracum yellowish; sculpture with fine radial ribs, somewhat stronger posteriorly; posterior area incipiently rostrate, with only commarginal lines; pallial sinus not reaching further anterior than posterior adductor scar; pallial line thin or obscure.
Remarks. Huber (2010) thought this species is the synonym of Cryptomya (Venatomya) semistriata (Hanley 1842). Swennen et al. (2001) recognized Tugonia semistriata (Sowerby II, 1875) [sic] as a synonym of T. princeps A. Adams, 1851. But judged from the figures by Sowerby II (1875: pl. 2, fig. 6a, b) and Swennen et al. (2001: p. 97, fig. 209), C (V.) semistriata has a deeper pallial sinus whereas it is diminutive in T. (T.) huanghaiensis. In addition, the ventral margin of T. (T.) huanghaiensis is much more convex than in C. (V.) semistriata, and its umbo is much larger and more inflated.

Figure 7A–L
Distugonia sp. Xu, 2008: 590.
Material examined. MBM188705 (1 articulate shell), MBM188706 (1 right valve), shells collected from dead coral, intertidal zone, Sanya, Hainan Island, China by Ma Xiu-tong, on March 28th, 1958.
Description. Length to 9 mm; shell equivalve, inequilateral, elongate, thin, chalky, the anterior part of the shell more inflated than the posterior part, gaping posteriorly; posterior area small, truncated, anteriorly demarcated by weak ridge; umbo almost central, low and prosogyrate; anterodorsal margin convex, anterior margin broadly rounded; posterodorsal margin rather straight; posteroventral margin weakly curved to almost straight.
Sculpture fine, with irregular commarginal growth lines and swellings, becoming weak or disappearing in middle part, devoid of any radial rib, posterior area with strong commarginal lamellar sculpture; colour greyish with periostracum yellowish; inner shell surface with chalky blotches.
Spoon-shaped chondrophore in left valve extending posteriorly; chondrophore in right valve horizontally compressed.
Anterior muscle adductor scar thin and elongate; posterior adductor scar ovate; pallial sinus shallow, wide and barely visible; pallial line obscure.
Remarks. We think this species is new and are working to resolve this question. Tugonia (Distugonia) sp. differs from T. (D.) decurtata (Adams, 1851) (Figs. 6 L, 7M) by its smaller posterior area which is demarcated by a less pronounced ridge, larger and rather flat umbo, and a more strongly curved dorsal margin. Our species also differs from T. (D.) inopinata (Iredale, 1936) (Fig. 7 N, O; see also Lamprell & Stanisic, 1998: 7, fig. 4a–d) by its more regular shell; the rather concave posterodorsal margin of T. (D.) inopinata makes the shell more irregular; and the umbo is rather prominent.

Fig 10, 12
Diagnosis. This species is either closely related to or less likely conspecific with J. serpentina. They are nearly identical, except that in Jethsura sp. X the ventral 0.6 of the mesopleuron is longitudinally rugulose. The yellow markings on the head may be less extensive than in J. serpentina as well.
Comments. I have chosen to leave Jethsura sp. X undescribed, since an adequate description and images could not be provided. The lack of specimens also leaves some uncertainty as to whether Jethsura sp. X is conspecific or not with J. serpentina. The singleton representing this species was originally grouped with J. serpentina and was used in a whole-body DNA extraction. Upon further examination, the specimen was found to likely represent a new species. Unfortunately, the extraction process left it bereft of color and in a generally poor condition. Therefore, sufficient material was unavailable to provide a high-quality description and images.
Similar to J. serpentina, Jethsura sp. X was collected at high elevation above 3000 m. The collection data for the singleton of Jethsura sp. X are “ Colombia, Cundinamarca, PNN Chingaza, Valle de Fraylejon, 4 31’N, 73 45’W, 3170m, 28.ii.–2.iii.2001, Elias & Amuifo, M. 1488”.

TS: Syrastrenopsis moltrechti Grünberg, 1914: 38, by monotypy.
Description. Moderately sized Lasiocampids showing minor sexual dimorphism and often having semitransparent wings with smooth outer margins. The wing pattern consists of two or three transversal, generally oblique dark fasciae on a lighter background.
Venation (fig. 1, after S. kawabei and S. moltrechti). In forewing Sc free; R1 free, arising from basal third of R-Сu cell; (R2 +R3), R4 free but its foundation closed with a base of (R5 + M1) which is on a short branch; bases of M2 and M3 moved apart; only one anal vein present; R-Cu cell is without a trace of the M-branch. In hindwing humeral zone of the hind wing weakly developed; Sc anastomises with Rs forming a small, narrow humeral cell with a single (S. kawabei) or a paired (S. moltrechti) additional humeral vein; M1 free; M2+M3 basically closed; 3 anal veins developed but A1 as a fold; trace of M-branch is visible in R-Cu cell near a vein; discal vein well developed in both wings but weaker than other veins.
Fore tibia of both sexes with ellipsoid epiphysis but shorter in females.
Male genitalia with broad, flattened, leaf-shaped valvae which are divided into two lobes: upper one slender and strongly curved and lower one wide and flattened leaf-shaped to semilunar; uncus and gnathos absent; socii membranous, well developed; short aedeagus with rounded apical spur; vesica with zones of distinct scobination. Shapes of valvae, aedeagus and vesica can be used diagnostically to identify species.
Female genitalia with vaginal plates distinct, wrinkled; ductus bursae short to reduced; corpus bursae bagshaped, membranous without signum.
Bionomics. Larva flattened dorso-ventrally, with lateral thoracic lappets; thorax with transversal band covered with dark scales. Pupa in a silken cocoon, formed on the food plant, in tree crevices or under bark.
Strongly univoltine species with autumnal flight period, hibernating as eggs. Likely monophagous on oaks (Quercus spp.) with members of the genus associated with deciduous forests. Both sexes are attracted to light.
Distribution. The range of the genus is widely disjunct. The species are distributed from the Russian Far East, Korea and Taiwan to the mountains of Northeastern, Central and Southern China to Northern India, Nepal and Thailand. The addition of two new species brings the total species in this genus to seven with all being very local and often known only from a very few specimens.

Calosargus hani

description: Calosargus (Calosargus) hani Zhang, Yang & Ren, sp. nov.
(Figs. 18–19)
Diagnosis. A spurious crossvein present between veins R1 and R2+3; vein Rs1 slightly longer than vein Rs2; vein R2+3 ending at vein R1 far before wing margin; mouth of cell r4 about twice as wide as that of cell r1; base of cell m1 about 1/3 as wide as that of cell m2; mouth of cell m1 slightly narrower than that of cell m2.
Etymology. The specific name refers to collector of this specimen: Mr. Gang Han.
Holotype. CNU-DB-NN2007013, an almost complete adult body with wings in lateral view.
Type locality and horizon. Daohugou Village, Shantou Township, Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia, China; Jiulongshan Formation, the Middle Jurassic (Aalenian-Bajocian).
Description. Body length 16 mm; wing length about 9 mm, wing width about 2.2 mm.
Head subround, slightly narrower than thorax. Eyes large, bare; ommatidia visible clearly.
Fore and mid legs short and thin; hind femur distinctly long and robust; tibiae slender. Wing hyaline, slen- der. Vein C ending at wing tip; veins C, Sc and R1 markedly thick; vein Sc long, extending far beyond middle of wing. Vein R1 long and robust; a spurious crossvein present between veins R1 and R2+3; vein Rs1 arising from middle of wing, slightly longer than vein Rs2; vein R2+3 arising slightly proximal of base of cell d; vein R2+3 ending at vein R1 far before wing margin; veins R4 and R5 short; vein R5 ending far beyond apex of wing, relative lengths of veins Rs3, R4 and R5 about 7: 3: 4. Crossvein r-m nearly located at basal 1/3 of cell d. Vein M3 absent, vein CuA1 arising from cell d. Vein CuP present. Cell sc wide open, mouth of cell sc about 4 times as wide as that of cell r4, mouth of cell r1 narrow, mouth of cell r4 about twice as wide as that of cell r1. Cell br nearly as large as cell bm. Cell d slender; base of cell m1 about 1/3 as wide as that of cell m2; mouth of cell m1 slightly narrower than that of cell m2. Mouth of cua1 wide open.
Abdomen cylindrical, covered with setulae. Seven segments visible; segment I evidently short.
Remarks. C. (C.) hani sp. nov. is more or less similar to C. (C.) tenuicellulatus sp. nov. However, it can be easily separated from the latter by the distinctly slender wing and cell d, vein Rs1 slightly longer than that of vein Rs2, an excrescent crossvein located between veins R1 and R2+3, and mouth of cell m1 slightly narrower than that of cell m2. In tenuicellulatus, the wing and cell d are wider than in hani; vein Rs1 is short, nearly as long as vein Rs2; an excrescent crossvein is absent; the mouth of cell m1 is slightly longer than that of cell m2.

Type material examined. Syntype (Fig. 2): ♀, “Cherra | ♀ | Atkinson | 26” / “ Prabhasa flavicosta type Moore” / “Moore Coll. 94-106” / red ring “Type” label / QR-code label with unique number “ NHMUK010401748 ” (NHMUK).

Mus. 1934-120, unique number: NHMUK 010914126, gen. slide No.: NHMUK010313950 (prepared by Volynkin) (NHMUK).
Remark. Holloway (2001) reported the species for Borneo based on a single female specimen from Pulo Laut. Unfortunately, the second author of the present paper did not locate this specimen in the NHMUK collection. However, despite the external similarity of adults, the female genitalia illustrated by Holloway (2001: fig. 92) display remarkable differences from those of the true D. flavicosta from Khasi Hills and obviously belong to another, unknown species.
Distribution. The species is known only from Northeastern India (Meghalaya) (Moore 1878). Reporting of this species from Thailand (Černý & Pinratana 2009) is due to wrong identification.

description: Genus Zadadra Moore, 1878
Zadadra Moore, 1878, Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London 1878: 25. Type species: Zadadra distorta Moore, 1872, by monotypy.
Diagnosis. Small or medium-sized moths. The sexual dimorphism is more expressed in the generic complex (Figs 11–18). The male forewing is shorter and broader than that of female, its distal part is slightly curved posteriorly, and the anal and outer margins are convex. Additionally, the forewing cell of the male is narrow and bearing a longitudinal row of androconial scales continuing to the basal part of the area between the veins Cu 1 and M 2–3. The male hindwing is conspicuously broader than that of female and bearing a wide dark area of androconial scales at the costa (the character unique among the genera of the generic complex). The female forewing is long and narrow, nearly straight. The male genitalia of the genus (Figs 27–32) are characterized by the combination of the following diagnostic characters: (1) the juxta is narrow, weakly sclerotized, its distal end is connected to the intervalval commissura by a membrane; (2) the intervalval commissura is thick membranous with a weakly sclerotized medial area, connecting from one third to a half of valvae (an autapomorphic feature); (3) the cucullus is weakly sclerotized, well-separated from the distal saccular process; (4) the sacculus is heavily sclerotized, wide, lobe-like (an autapomorphic feature); (5) the distal saccular process is short but broad, robust, without setae. The female genitalia of Zadadra (Figs 37, 38) display no remarkable differences from those of Chinasa (Fig. 35) but can be distinguished by the presence of sclerotized pockets on the 7th sternite (absent in Chinasa).

Syrastrenopsis kawabei Kishida, 1991, Gekkan-Mushi 243: 14, figs 2, 3.
TL: Taiwan, Nantou Hsien, Tsuifeng, 2400 m. HT: male (BMNH, London) [examined].
Wingspan 33.5–46.5 mm, forewing length 17.5–24.0 mm. Forewings dark reddish or pinkish brown, medial fasciae dark grey, bordered interiorly by whitish scales. Hindwings darker in both sexes, with two vague transversal grayish bands.
In male genitalia narrow sickle-like or semilunar valvae are diagnostic; apical spur of aedeagus is rather long. In female genitalia antevaginal plate small, rounded, with weak caudal cut; postvaginal plate with two lateral and a single caudal projections, few lateral wrinkles weak, dispersed; ostium broad, membranous; antrum and ductus bursae reduced; corpus bursae short, bag-shaped, membranous, without signum.
Diagnosis. Differing from other species by darker red-brown coloration, forewings with whitish transversal fasciae wider than in other species where they are present; female fore tibia with small epiphysis; vaginal plates are very small. The species is apparently endemic to Taiwan. The author gave the following diagnosis for the species: "Closely similar to moltrechti, but is separate from it as follows: the body and wings have reddish purple tone, the ante- and postmedian lines are narrower, and the subterminal line is more conspicuously edged with white inside. In the male genitalia, their size is much smaller to compare with the size of moth, valva is short and sraigth [straight], and a caudal process of aedeagus is thick and short" (Kishida, 1991: 15).
Bionomics. Univoltine, flight period from early October to mid February. The moths fly in the first half of the night in humid forests at elevations between 550–2600 m; both sexes are attracted to the light. Preimaginal stages are unknown but Quercus spp. are believed to be hostplants. The moths hatch after the first autumnal ground frosts.
Distribution. Taiwan (Nantou, Taitung (Tai-Chung), Kaoshiung, Hualien).
