Holotype
SOUTH AFRICA • 1 specimen (mounted head and neck); NHMUK-1903.11.18.1.
Distribution
Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa (holotype), Zambia, Zimbabwe.
Remarks
The holotype is given by Lydekker (1914) under the collection number NHMUK - 1903.11.18.1, but this catalogue number leads to a fish specimen (Pomatomus telescopus Risso, 1810) on the collection website (https://data.nhm.ac.uk/dataset/collection-specimens/resource/05ff2255-c38a-40c9-b657- 4ccb55ab2feb/record/3124756). However, two other specimens of wardi can be found in the museum collection (NHMUK-1903.11.17.1 and NHMUK-1903.11.17.3), one of which might be considered the neotype if the holotype cannot be found.

description: Arna bicostata Wang, Wang & Fan sp. nov.
(Figs. 3–4, 28, 42)
Diagnosis. Forewing length 10–14 mm. Forewing yellow, with two pale transverse lines medially; hindwing pale yellow.
Description. Male and female. Vertex covered with pale yellow scales. Labial palpus short, upturned. Thorax and tegulae yellow. Forewing yellow, with a deep yellow band between two pale transverse lines medially, the band shaded grey in some specimens; venation with R2, R3, R4 and R5 stalked, R2 branching off more distally than R5, M1 arising from upper angle of distal cell, M3 from under angle of distal cell, M2, M3 and CuA1 isolated, CuA1 parallel to CuA2. Hindwing paler yellow; venation with Rs stalked with M1 at basal 1/4, M2 arising from near under angle of distal cell, M3 and CuA1 short stalked. Male genitalia (Fig. 28): Uncus broad, apically divided in the dorso-ventral plane, triangular at apex of dorsal part; valva narrowed from apex of sacculus to costa; saccus small; aedeagus straight. Female genitalia (Fig. 42): Apophysis anterioris almost as long as apophysis posterioris, but thicker than the latter; ostium U-shaped; base of ductus inflated, lightly sclerotized; signum absent.
Type material: Holotype: 3, Nanling National Nature Reserve, Guangdong, 7.V.2009, leg. H.S. Wang. Paratypes: 4 3, 2Ƥ, same data as the holotype; 2 3, same locality, 1.VI.2006, leg. L.S. Chen, M. Wang.
Distribution. China (Guangdong).
Etymology. The specific name is derived from Latin, “bicostatus,” referring to the forewing with two pale lines medially.
Remarks. The genus Arna Walker was reviewed by Holloway (1999) who reported 12 species. A Chinese species Euproctis pentamaculata described by Chao (1984) should also belong to this genus according to the male genitalia illustrated in his Fig. 230, along with A. pseudoconspersa (Strand) and the new species. As a result, 15 species of the genus are now recorded. The new species is similar to Arna bipunctapex, but can be easily separated from the latter by the following characters: forewing yellow with two pale transverse median lines; hindwing pale yellow; uncus less acute at apex of dorsal part, valva with shorter protrusion at apex of costa; female with a smaller ostium.

Diagnosis. Forewing length 12–17 mm. Forewing reddish brown with a yellow irregular border in male, and a yellow patch at apex, central termen and dorsum respectively in female. Male genitalia (Fig. 29): Uncus broad, weakly bifid. valva divided in the distal half, the dorsal arm broad, the ventral arm slender, acute apically; saccus triangular; aedeagus simple, vesica unadorned. Female genitalia (Fig. 43): Papilla analis small; ductus short, cylindrical, sclerotized; bursa long, sausage-shaped, with a bicornute signum.
Material examined. 33, Nanling National Nature Reserve, Guangdong, 6.V.2006; 1Ƥ, same locality, 31.IV.2008.

Remarks. Strand (1933) regarded the species as typical of Porthesia Stephens. However, Porthesia has been confirmed by Maes (1984) as an invalid genus. P. k u ro s a w a i Inoue reported by Chao (2003) from Guangxi Province in China is actually Somena scintillans, based on the adults and male genitalia.

Euproctis polydorus Schintlmeister, 1994: 133.
[Porthesia scintillans: Chao 2003: 320.] Misidentification
Diagnosis. Forewing length 11–16 mm. Both sexes are somewhat similar to the female of Somena scintillans, but the forewing is paler, crossed by two distinct, whitish median lines. Male genitalia (Fig. 30): Tegumen broad; uncus short, acute, with a rugose protrusion at ventral part; valva bifid, the dorsal arm short, the ventral arm long. Female genitalia (Fig. 44): Papilla analis small; ostium V-shaped; sterigma bilobed, M-like; ductus cylindrical, sclerotized at base; signum with a bicornute process.
Material examined. 13, Nanling National Nature Reserve, Guangdong, 2.V.2006; 23, 1Ƥ, same locality, 18.XI.2008.
Distribution. China (Zhejiang, Fujian, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Shanxi, Taiwan), Burma, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia.
Remarks. The species is often confused with Somena scintillans due to the similarity of superficial characters, but the male genitalia of both species are different; the latter can be easily distinguished by a broad and weakly bifid uncus.

Diagnosis. Forewing length 14–20 mm. Forewing yellow with two narrow, paler lines medially and forming a fuscous medial transverse band, the submarginal area with three black spots, two being at apex, and one near tornus. Male genitalia (Fig. 31): uncus short, with a pair of acute processes on the lateral side; valva simple, tapering, acute at apex; saccus triangular; aedeagus short, straight. Female genitalia (Fig. 45): Sterigma irregular, protruded at both sides; ductus and bursa relatively small, flimsy, the latter without signum.
Material examined. 63, 2Ƥ, Nanling National Nature Reserve, Guangdong, 29.VII.2008. 23, 1Ƥ, same locality, 23.VI.2009;
Distribution. China (Zhejiang, Fujian, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Shanxi, Taiwan), Burma, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia.
Remarks. The species is transferred to Artaxa Walker based on the uncus being flanked by a pair of acute processes, which is a typical feature of this genus. It is closely related to Euproctis sakaguchii Matsumura (Fig. 11, 32), but can be distinguished by the forewing with a black tornal spot and valva round apically.

Diagnosis. Forewing length 19–29 mm. Forewing brown, with scattered black scales, fringes yellow; hindwing dark at basal half, yellow at apical half. Male genitalia (Fig. 35): Uncus broad basally, hooked apically; valva deeply bifid, dorsal part broader, somewhat rectangular, ventral part small, acute at apex; aedeagus with a L-shaped spur medially and a patch of spines in vesica. Female genitalia (Fig. 47): The eighth segment narrow; ostium relatively large; ductus long, sclerotized at base; signum with a longitudinal flange medially.

Remarks. The species is close to Nygmia poppaea Collenette and N. venata Collenette illustrated by Holloway (1999) in male genitalia characters, but it can be easily differentiated from the latter two by the forewing lacking the broken black fasciae and male genitalia with a smaller aedeagus vesica. It can also be separated from N. poppaea by the shorter ventral part of valva, and from N. venata by the dorsal part of valva without a protrusion at the apex. Female genitalia are illustrated here for the first time.
