description: Checklist of Paranthrenini of Mainland China
The following checklist is based on the results published in this study and the data of previous authors (Yang & Wang 1989, Liu et al. 1992, Xu et al. 1995, Xu et al. 1999, Špatenka et al. 1999, Gorbunov & Arita 2001, Wang & Yang 2002, Kallies 2007, Arita 2011). Several taxa, which were listed by Zukowsky (1929) and partly repeated by Jin et al. (2008) are considered misidentifications (Kallies 2007) and are excluded here. Based on our own data and on confirmed older records the following checklist of the Paranthrenini of Mainland China is presented.
Paranthrene tabaniformis (Rottemburg, 1775) Paranthrene rubomacula Kallies & Owada sp. nov. 1 Taikona matsumurai Arita & Gorbunov, 2001 Nokona bractea Kallies & Arita sp. nov. 1 Nokona opaca Kallies & Wang sp. nov. 1 Nokona regalis (Butler, 1878)
Nokona bicincta (Walker, 1864) 1
Nokona pernix (Leech, 1889) 2
Nokona chrysoidea (Zukowsky, 1932)
Nokona davidi (Le Cerf, 1917) 1
Nokona feralis (Leech, 1889) 3
Nokona actinidiae (Yang & Wang, 1989) comb. nov. 1 Nokona semidiaphana (Zukowsky, 1929) 1 Nokona iridina (Bryk, 1947) 1
Nokona chinensis (Leech, 1889) 1
Nokona pompilus (Bryk, 1947) 1
Nokona aurivena (Bryk, 1947) 1
Scoliokona nanlingensis Kallies & Arita sp. nov. 1 Scoliokona shimentai Kallies & Wu sp. nov. 1 Scoliokona spissa Kallies & Arita sp. nov. 1 Adixoa leucocyanea (Zukowsky, 1929) 1
1) These species were described from Mainland China.
2) The presence of Nokona pernix in China needs to be validated. This species is very similar to the variable N. chrysoidea. See below for further discussion.
3) The record of Nokona feralis (Leech, 1889) requires confirmation. It is based on Špatenka et al. (1999), but the original source of this record could not be traced back. It may relate to Nokona coreana Tosevski & Arita, 1993, which may occur in China.

Paranthrene

description: Paranthrene Hübner, [1819]
This genus is well known from the Palaearctic and Nearctic regions. Numerous species have also been described from Africa and South East Asia. However, most of them are likely to belong to other related genera.
Species of Paranthrene can be recognized by the morphology of the male genitalia (with soft multifurcate scales covering the valvae), the structure of the antennae (long, reaching the discal spot) and of the labial palps (narrow and smoothly scaled) as well as the size of the head (relatively small, about ½ of the width of the thorax).
During the course of this study several species formerly associated with Paranthrene were found to belong to Nokona (see below for details). One species, Cyanosesia panorpaeformis (Boisduval, [1875]) comb. nov., originally described in Sesia, but later considered belonging to Paranthrene, is hereby transferred from Paranthrenini to Sesiini.

Hindwing: largely transparent, with broad outer margin and strong discal spot; opaque between veins Cu1 and Cu2. Abdomen: tergites black; sternites with white distal borders; valva with white scales; anal tuft black, long and slender. Female (Fig. 2). Almost identical to male. Antennae simple.
Genitalia. Male (Gen. prep. AK654, Fig. 29). Uncus (a) long and slender, with soft setae apically; gnathos (b) with simple ventral margin with two short and rounded projections; valva long, dorsal field of ventral surface (c) covered with soft, multi-tipped setae, each with ca 8 tips; ventral area of valva surface (d) with simple soft setae; basal patch (e) with strong pointed setae; phallus straight, shorter than valva, with a subapical plate with 4–5 small teeth (f).
Diagnosis. A very distinctive species; most body parts black with a bluish sheen, with a distinct red discal spot and a slender body. It is not similar to any known representatives of Paranthrene or related genera.

Taikona

description: Taikona Arita & Gorbunov, 2001
The genus Taikona is closely related to Nokona. It differs chiefly by its transparent forewings (usually but not always opaque in Nokona). Further study is required to establish whether Taikona is a separate genus or should be considered a synonym of Nokona.

Nokona

description: Nokona Matsumura, 1931
= Aritasesia Nakamura, 2009 syn. nov.
The genus Nokona occurs from northern India to Japan in the north and Australia in the south and east. It is morphologically very diverse and includes a number of species groups, which are currently not formally recognized. A modern revision of the genus is lacking. Thus, the taxon Aritasesia, which was proposed as a subgenus of Nokona and based on two species of the Nokona pernix species group, is here placed in synonymy with Nokona.
Species of Nokona are characterized by the morphology of the male genitalia (with well-sclerotized multifurcate, hand-shaped setae), the structure of the antennae (long, almost reaching the discal spot) and the labial palps (with apical segment long and smooth; basal and middle segment rough-scaled, scales relatively short) as well as the size of the head (wide, about 3/4 of the width of the thorax).
The following species are hereby transferred to Nokona: Nokona tristis (Le Cerf, 1917) comb. nov. (Paranthrene), Nokona metallica (Hampson, [1893]) comb. nov. (Sciapteron), Nokona metaxantha (Hampson, 1919) comb. nov. (Paranthrene), Nokona noblei (Swinhoe, 1890) comb. nov. (Sciapteron), Nokona henrici (Le Cerf, 1916) comb. nov. (Paranthrene), Nokona javana (Le Cerf, 1916) comb. nov. (Paranthrene), Nokona poecilocephala (Diakonoff, [1968]) comb. nov. (Paranthrene), Nokona pryeri (Druce, 1882) comb. nov. (Sara [sic]), Nokona minuta (Swinhoe, 1890) comb. nov. (Pramila), Nokona cupreivitta (Hampson, [1893]) comb. nov. (Sciapteron), Nokona zoneiventris (Le Cerf, 1916) comb. nov. (Paranthrene).

Nokona bractea

description: Nokona bractea Kallies & Arita sp. nov.
(Figs 4, 30)
Material examined. Holotype. ♂, Guangxi, Guilin, Maoershan, 500–1500 m, 6–10.VIII.2007 (Fig. 4, Gen. Prep. AK759) (SCAU). Paratype. 1♂, same data as holotype (NSMT).
Description. Male (Fig. 4). Wingspan 42 mm; forewing length 18 mm; body length 25 mm. A very large and distinctive species; most body parts black with a bluish sheen; patagia bright yellow. Head: labial palps yellow ventrally; pericephalic scales yellow ventrally. Thorax: patagia yellow; metathorax with few white scales subdorsally. Forewing: black with a bluish sheen; with a small semitransparent area at the base between cubital stem and anal margin. Abdomen: anal tuft triangular, well developed, with a few yellow scales ventrally.
Genitalia. Male (Gen. Prep. AK759, Fig. 30). Valva appearing rectangular, dorsal area densely covered with hand-shaped setae, ventral part with simple setae, with only few setae in the middle field; gnathos (a) with simple projections; uncus relatively straight; phallus, relatively short and thick, tapering towards the tip, with a distinct tooth subapically.
Diagnosis. This species is distinct from most known species of the genus Nokona. It is similar to Nokona stroehlei Fischer, 2002, which was described from the Malay Peninsula. It differs by the markings on the hindwing (with narrow discal spot, narrow outer margin and fine veins in N. bractea; with broad discal spot, broad outer margin and broadly scaled veins in N. stroehlei). N. bractea also shows some similarity to N. noblei. The latter differs by its transparent hindwings (lacking the smoky appearance of N. bractea), its hind legs that are marked with yellow, its partly yellow tegulae, and its black patagia.

(Figs 5, 6, 31)
Material examined. Holotype. ♂, Guangxi, Guilin, Maoershan, 730 m, 15.–19.VIII.2009 (SCAU). Paratypes. 13 ♂, same data as holotype (NSMT); 2♂, Guangxi, Guilin, Maoershan, 500–1300 m, 6.–10.VIII. 2007 (Figs 5, 6, CAK); 2♂, Prov. Guandong, Shaoguang, Nanling, 700 m, 24.VI.2008 (NSMT); 1♂, same locality, 29.VII.2008 (Gen. Prep. AK634, CAK).
Description. Male (Figs 5, 6). Wingspan 41.5 mm; forewing length 18.5 mm; body length 25 mm. A very large and distinctive species, most body parts black, abdomen with a red tip. Head and Thorax: black, with few white pericephalic scales ventrally. Forewing: black; with a remnant transparent area at the base between cubital stem and anal margin. Hindwing: with two large transparent areas at the base, interspaced by a very small transparent area between A1 and A2; three small and round transparent areas between M1, M2, and M3 near the apex. Abdomen: tergite 2 with some white scales at distal edge laterally, tergite 3 with very small white patch at the distal margin laterally; segment 7 and anal tuft orange red.
Genitalia. Male (Gen. Prep. AK634, Fig. 31). Valva with dorsal part covered with hand-shaped setae, each with 6–9 finger-like projections; distal and ventral part of valva covered with a mixture of simple pointed setae and hand-shaped setae; basal area with strong and pointed setae; uncus with soft hair-like setae; gnathos (a) consisting a ridge with two apical teeth; saccus relatively short; phallus about as long as valva, with a simple sclerotized plate subapically.
Variability. Wingspans range from 38 to 41.5 mm. The extent of the transparent areas of the hindwing varies considerably.
Diagnosis. N. opaca sp. nov. is very distinct from most known species of the genus Nokona. It is somewhat similar to N. pryeri, which differs from the latter by the lack of transparent areas in the distal part of the hindwings and the extensive red scaling of the abdomen. Superficially, N. opaca sp. nov. also resembles Cyanosesia cyanolampra (Diakonoff, [1968]), which differs by the presence of a large transparent area, covering most of the distal area of the hindwing and the orange-yellow patagia.

Scoliokona

description: Scoliokona Kallies & Arita, 1998
This genus is currently known from a range reaching from Thailand and Burma in the west to the Philippines and Lombok in the east (Arita & Riefenstahl 2004, Kallies & Arita 1998 and unpublished). We here report it from China and Vietnam for the first time.
Typical species of Scoliokona show bluish black forewings and partly scaled hingwings. They differ from species of related genera by the structure of the antennae (short, not reaching the discal spot, only about 2/5 of the forewing) and the labial palps (broad, with short apical segment, otherwise rough-scaled, with long scales) as well as the size of the head (relatively wide, about 3/4 of the width of the thorax). The male genitalia differ from those of related genera by the short and broad valvae and the presence of a well-developed crista in the middle of the ventral surface.
Based on our current work, the following species are here transferred to Scoliokona: Scoliokona phoenicia (Hampson, 1919) comb. nov. (Sura); Scoliokona cyanea (Hampson, 1919) comb. nov. (Sura); Scoliokona zygophora (Hampson, 1919) comb. nov. (Paranthrene); Scoliokona uncariae (Schneider, 1940) comb. nov. (Sura). The placement of these species is tentative, as neither of these species could be studied in detail and the decision is based solely on the examination of images of the type specimens. The type material of S. uncariae appears to be lost (Marianne Horak, personal communication).
This hostplant of typical Scoliokona species is unknown. The hostplant of S. uncariae and S. cyanea is Gambier (Uncaria gambir, Rubiaceae) (Schneider 1940). According to Meyrick (1930) and in line with labels attached to the type specimens, Gambier is also the hostplant of S. cyanogama.

Scoliokona shimentai

description: Scoliokona shimentai Kallies & Wu sp. nov.
(Figs 23, 24, 37)
Material examined. Holotype. 1♂, Prov. Guangdong, Yingde, Shimentai, 4.VI.2008 (SCAU). Paratypes. 1♂, data as holotype (NSMT); 2♂, same locality, 5.VII.2011 (Fig. 23, Gen. prep. AK745) (CAK); 1♂, Vietnam, Thu Thien Hue Prov., Bach Ma, ca. 1400 m, 6.V.2003 (Fig. 24, NSMT); 2♂, Vietnam, Cao Bang Prov., Ba Be, ca. 1400 m, 30.IV.2005 (NSMT).
Description. Male (Figs 23, 24). Wingspan 33 mm; forewing length 14 mm; body length 17 mm. Most body parts black. Head: scales on labial palps ventrally with white tips. Thorax: hind coxa dirty white, ventral edges of hind femur white. Forewing: opaque, black with a purple sheen; with small remnant PTA at the base; ventrally similar with crème scales at the base. Hindwing: transparent parts extensive, appearing somewhat rusty tinged in outer half; discal spot relatively narrow; area between veins Cu1 and Cu2 opaque; costa yellowish at the base. Abdomen: tergite 2 with a narrow white posterior border; sternites 3, 4 and partly 5 crème white; anal tuft large, laterally flattened, with few white scales.
Genitalia. Male (Gen. prep. AK745, Fig. 37). Valva relatively short, apically pointed; multifurcate setae with each 8 finger like projections in dorsal part, simple setae in ventral part; basal patch with strong simple setae; with a simple line of hand-shaped setae medially; saccus short and narrow; gnathos with two lateral short fish hook-like processes, arched downwards at the tip; uncus straight and narrow; phallus relatively narrow, apically with a small bilobed processus.
Variability. 31–38 mm wingspan.
Diagnosis. This species is a typical representative of the genus Scoliokona. It is somewhat similar to Scoliokona kalliesi Arita & Riefenstahl, 2004, which is known from Burma and Thailand. The latter species, however, has orange antennae, labial palps and patagia and more extensive dark marking on the hindwing.

Adixoa

description: Adixoa Hampson, [1893]
This genus is insufficiently known, and until now all species were only know from either male or female specimens. We here report the discovery of male specimens of A. leucocyanea, a species, which was known only from the single female holotype that was redescribed in detail by Kallies (2007). According to the structure of the male genitalia, A. leucocyanea is not closely related to Adixoa trizonata (Hampson, 1900), the only species of which the structure of the male genitalia were known. Until Adixoa alterna (Walker, [1865]), the type species of the genus Adixoa, can be examined in detail, we refrain here from the erection of a new genus.

This species as redescribed in detail on the basis of the female holotype (Fig. 28) by Kallies (2007). We here report the discovery of the males of this species, which are described in detail below.
Redescription. Male (Fig. 27). Wingspan 23 mm; forewing length 10.5 mm; body length 13 mm. Most body parts black. Head: frons grey, white laterally, labial palps white medially, neck plate white; pericephalic scales white laterally. Thorax: cranio-laterally white bordered; tegulae with medial borders white; with a white spot at the base of the forewing; mesothorax with some white distally; coxae, tibiae and tarsi partly white. Forewing: with well developed transparent areas, PTA extending all the way under the discal spot; ETA well-developed, base of the area between R4 and R5 transparent and part of the ETA, discal spot wide; discal area wide. Hindwing: transparent, outer margin relatively wide; discal spot well developed, long and rectangular. Abdomen: tergites 2, 4, 6 and partly 7 with narrow white distal borders; sternite 1 partly white; sternites 3–5 with white distal borders; anal tuft well-developed, with few white scales, valvae with white scales.
Genitalia. Male (Gen. Prep. 757, Fig. 39). Valva long and narrow, dorsal setae field densely covered with well-sclerotized multifurcate hand-like setae; ventral field with simple setae; basal field well-separated, covered with short and very strong setae; gnathos very long, bilobed; uncus very long, straight and narrow; phallus narrow and simple. Female (Gen. Prep. AK191, Fig. 41). Apophyses very long and strong; ductus relatively short; corpus bursae small, simple; ostium very large, protruding, ventrally well-sclerotized.
Variability. The specimens from Prov. Shaanxi have a somewhat narrower forewing discal spot and distal area, resulting in a slightly larger ETA. However, there were no detectable differences in the morphology of the male genitalia.

This species had already been found in Turkish waters (gulf of Izmir: Arnaud 1976, 1987). In the western and central Mediterranean it is widely dispersed, and has been recorded in the Aegean Sea (Arnaud 1987, Chimenz & Lattanzi 2003). Helfer (1936) cited the species (under its synonym Ammothea magnirostris) from the fishery grounds off Alexandria, but as he counted 8 articles in the palp his specimen(s) might well have been an Achelia species.

This species is most often encountered as immatures, so a peculiar reproduction mode seems possible. The only study available so far (Munilla León 1983, at Cala Bona, NE Spain) strongly suggests a univoltine life cycle with an onset of maturation in males between mid-May and the beginnning of July; so in the sevenmonth-period between the end of September and the beginnning of May immature individuals prevail. However, the species is still easily identified among all Mediterranean ammotheids by the lack of auxiliary claws. This may be one of the main reasons why so many authors have never given figures of mature males. So we thought it valuable to present an SEM photograph of such a male (fig. 2): The overall habitus is quite similar in both sexes, body and legs in the male are a slightly more spinose (as in some other ammotheids). For the first time in Mediterranean material the relative proportions of the leg articles are shown: all three coxae are subequal, the femur is the longest and largest article, followed by 1, tibia 2 is shorter still. The propodal heel often has two spines only. Fig. 2 b shows seven cuticular pores with their tiny valves; one of them is shown enlarged in fig. 2c.
