This new species is similar to single member of the subgenus Tatargina, T. picta (Walker) by general appearance. However, T. erythromelaena n. sp. differs from allied species by the following characters: two black spots of patagium much more smaller (in T. picta, two black spots of patagium large, almost same size with base pale yellow, rounded plate); in male genitalia, right valva with three diverse length processes (in T. picta, right valva with two diverse length processes), and left valva with broad rectangular (in holotype) or finger˗shaped (in paratype) upper and narrowly triangular lower processes, which both almost same length (in T. picta, left valva with almost same length (Figs. 4a ˗b) finger˗shaped processes or upper one 0.5˗2 times shorter than upper); aedeagus with row of diverse sized spines, which spines almost attached to each other and apical spines two times larger than basal (in T. picta, aedeagus with row of almost same sized, small spines, which spines far from each other). Description. Adult (Figs. 3a˗b). Length of forewing 19˗20 mm in male. Head red. Patagium red, with two small, black spots in center of pale yellow, rounded plate. Tegula red, with one small black spot and a triangular black patch in pale yellow, triangular plate.

Abdomen pale yellow, with a series of dark spots dorsally and laterally, and a pair series of dark spots ventrally. Male genitalia (Figs. 6a˗b). Uncus broad, triangular, weakly sclerotized. Tegumen “collar”˗shaped, weakly sclerotized. Valva broad, sclerotized, asymmetrical, weakly covered with setae; apical process of valva stout, pointed; right valva with three diverse length processes and left valva with one short, slender, waved, and one large rectangular processes (or finger˗shaped) on the ventral edge of valva; costal margin of valva with a large, sclerotized basal transtilla. Juxta strongly sclerotized apically, weakly rectangular. Aedeagus stout, weakly waved in basal 1/3, with with row of di- verse sized spines, which spines almost attached to each other and apical spines two times larger than basal, and one bundle of small spines and vesica without cornuti. Female genitalia. Unknown. Distribution. Cambodia (Preah Vihear province). Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Greek, erythr˗o (red) and melaen (blacken), refers to the forewing red ground color, with black patches.Published as part of Bayarsaikhan, Ulziijargal, Ko, Jae ˗ Ho, Kwon, Hyung-Wook & Bae, Yang-Seop, 2020, A new species of the genus Tatargina (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae) from Cambodia, pp. 589-594 in Zootaxa 4731 (4) on pages 591-593, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4731.4.12, http://zenodo.org/record/366190

Paratypes: 2&female;, Mondulkiri, 7 x 2010, leg. Bae, Ju & Vi; gen. side no. CIS-8079, -8082. 3 &male;, 1&female;, Laos, Bolikhamsai Prov., PKK nat. Park, 8 o 27′23&dblac;N 103 o 03′ 05&dblac;E, 470 m, 26 vii 2019, leg. Bae, Ju & Vi; gen. side no. CIS-8097 (&male;), CIS-8092 (&female;). Diagnosis. The new species, as well as following two new species, are very similar to T. parthenopis (Meyrick, 1932) which was described from Taiwan in the forewing pattern by sharing following characters: Ground color grayish-orange with sharply produced apex, a distinct black spot at apex surrounded by creamy-white scales below and small blackish dots along termen, and flagellum of antenna with alternative creamy-white and black rings. However, Torodora alterniella sp. nov. can also be distinguished from its allies by the male genitalia: uncus broadened with sharply produced latero-apical corner; valva broadly dilated in distal part (cucullus); juxta with short, digitate caudal processes and a long, quadrate lobe on anterior margin medially. Description. Adult (Figs 5A, B). Wingspan 13.0–14.0 mm. Head: Covered with creamy-white scales anteriorly and grayish-orange posteriorly, with erect creamy-white scales laterally. Antenna longer than forewing, about 1.3 times than the length of forewing; scape elongated, creamy white on dorsal and ventral surface, dark brown anteriorly and posteriorly; flagellum with distinct creamy-white and black rings alternatively. Second segment of labial palpus thickened, slightly arched, dark brown on dorsal surface, grayish orange in basal 2/3, and creamy white speckled with brownish scales in distal 1/3 on outer surface, creamy white on inner surface evenly, with creamy-white apex; 3 rd segment slender, slightly longer than 2 nd segment, strongly upturned, blackish ventrally, creamy white laterally. Thorax: Tegula and thorax grayish orange dorsally. Hind tibia with rough, pale grayish-orange scales above, speckled with dark-brown scales apically; 1st tarsus long, creamy white; 2 nd and 3 rd black in basal half and creamy white beyond. Forewing ground color grayish orange to yellowish brown, with an obscure white, oblique line, arising from near middle of costa and a more distinct white oblique line from beyond 3/4 of costa toward termen, terminated at veins R 3+4; a black, distinct rounded spot at apex, with creamy-white scales at inner side, and smaller black dots along termen, forming a line; apex sharply produced; termen oblique, concave before middle; fringe concolorous with ground color. Hindwing slightly broader, more grayish scales than forewing; apex acute; termen slightly sinuate; fringe concolorous; venation with M 2 close to M 3 +CuA 1 at base, M 3 and CuA 1 stalked for basal half. Abdomen (Fig. 2F): Spinous zones on tergite in male narrowly developed along posterior margin with strong spines; sternite VIII more or less trifurcated posteriorly, with large, triangular median protrusion. Male genitalia (Figs. 3C–D): Uncus broadened distally, sharply produced at lateral apices. Gnathos relatively small. Tegumen weakly sclerotized, emarginated in inverted V-shaped on anterior margin. Valva elongated, expanded in basal 1/3 anteriorly; costa gently concave; cucullus dilated, densely setose; sacculus broad at base, narrowly terminated before cucullus. Juxta deeply concave on caudal margin; caudal processes short, digitate with round apex; median protrusion on anterior margin narrowly elongate-quadrate. Aedeagus stout basally, broader than basal part of valva, strongly bent medially, narrowed toward apex; narrowly produced at apex; cornuti consisting of two, large sacs with numerous needle-like spines. Female genitalia (Fig. 3F). Abdominal sternite VIII deeply emarginated in U-shape. Apophyses anteriores short, about 1/3 the length of apophyses posteriores. Antrum membraneous, funnel-shaped. Ductus bursae with extremely narrow neck beyond antrum, then broadened, about half width of corpus bursae, as long as corpus bursae; ductus seminalis broad as wide as half of ductus bursae, arising from distal part of ductus bursae. Corpus bursae, large, ovate; signum plate vertically elongate-quadrate, slightly emarginated medially on anterior and posterior margin, with numerous, dense conic spines on surface. Distribution. Cambodia (Kep, Mondulkiri Prov.). Etymology. The species name is derived from the Latin, alternus (= alternative), with a Latin suffix, - ellus, referring to the alternative coloration of rings on the antenna. Remarks. Most of the known species of the genus Torodora Meyrick have an elongated, slender uncus in the male genitalia, but the uncus of this new species and the following species are widely expanded distally. The other examples with this kind of the uncus are also found in T. aenoptera Gozmány, 1978, T. flavescens Gozmány, 1978, and T. sirtalis Wu, 1997 from China, and T. bachmaensis Park, 2006, from Vietnam.Published as part of Park, Kyu-Tek & Bae, Yang-Seop, 2021, Five new species of the genus Torodora Meyrick (Lepidoptera, Lecithoceridae Torodorinae) from Cambodia, with a tentative check-list of the genus, pp. 102-114 in Zootaxa 4949 (1) on pages 107-109, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4949.1.5, http://zenodo.org/record/463594

[NHMUK] Lecithocera metasaris; Meyrick, 1925: 238; Clarke, 1965: 144; Pathania et al., 2015: 6. Diagnosis. Wingspan 11.0 mm. This species is superficially similar to T. flavescens Gozmány, but it can be distinguished from the latter by its hind tibia with expansible brush of very long, whitish hairs above. The male genitalia are also very similar to those of T. flavescens, but can be distinguished by the uncus with sharply pointed lateral apices; juxta flat on caudal margin, with median vertical ridge and latero-caudal lobes directed outward, sharply pointed, with a short, quadrate protrusion on anterior margin medially; aedeagus lacking long needle-like cornuti. However, in T. flavescens, the uncus has rounded apices, the juxta has no median ridge and no such protrusion on anterior margin, and the aedeagus has a pair of different length of needle-like cornuti. Description of the venation (Fig. 7D): R 1 arising from beyond middle; distance between origins of R 2 and R 3 less than 1/3 length of R 1 and R 2; R 3 stalked with R 4+5 for more than 1/2 length; R 4 and R 5 stalked beyond 3/5; R 5 close apex; M 1 close to R3+4; M 2 much nearer to M 3; CuA 1 and CuA 2 short-stalked; hind wing with M 2 well-developed; M 3 and CuA 1 stalked for basal 1/3. Male genitalia (Figs. 7 E–H): Uncus broadened distally, concave on caudal margin. Median process of gnathos broad, narrower toward apex, strongly bent beyond 2/3 downward. Tegumen weakly sclerotized, deeply concave on anterior margin. Valva broad at base, basal part nearly quadrate, deeply concave on costa; sacculus broadly developed, extended to lower corner of cucullus; cucullus thumb-shaped with rounded outer margin, dense setose. Juxta broad, rectangular, with latero-caudal process directed outward, sharply produced apically; short, quadrate protrusion on anterior margin medially; with well-developed central ridge vertically. Vinculum banded. Aedeagus stout, shorter than valva, narrowed in distal half, slightly bent into S-shape; cornuti consisting of two rows of thread-like scales. Female unknown. Material examined. LAOS: 1&male;, Bolikhamsai Prov., Tad Leuh Waterfall, 1 viii 2019, 18°23’42’’N 103°04’ 04’’E, leg. YS Bae, MJ Qi, DJ Lee, TG Lee, YB Cha, JH Ko, & CM Jang, gen. side no. CIS-8075. Paratype: 1&male;, same locality as holotype, 3 viii 2009, same collectors, gen. slide no. CIS-8074. Distribution. Laos ( new record: Bolikhamsai), India (North). Remarks. The specimens from Laos are smaller than the type, with wingspan 11 mm (via. 17 mm in the type), but the male genitalia are well accordant with those of the type and identified it as conspecific here. A further study is needed for re-confirmation.Published as part of Park, Kyu-Tek & Bae, Yang-Seop, 2020, Genus Torodora Meyrick (Lepidoptera, Lecithoceridae, Torodorinae) in Laos with descriptions of five new species and two newly recorded species, pp. 305-318 in Zootaxa 4851 (2) on page 316, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4851.2.5, http://zenodo.org/record/440759

    Garbage is waste resulting from human activities in the form of solids consisting of household waste and similar waste dumped household waste, because it is not useful or no longer needed. In the present condition of this planning and waste management issues that are in the District Bae. Constraints are usually found in urban waste management of which is the lack of institutional management, lack of resources, lack of regulations and standards, and the implementation of a system that is not right. Bae sub district currently uses a conventional system, where the system does not consider the separation and processing of waste, while some people are not served waste management in the District of throwing garbage in any place. Currently Bae has 2 point 2 containers containing TPS. TPS is in good condition, which is still a lot of rubbish strewn street dipnggir and outside the polling stations. The level of waste services in the District Bae is still low at 27%. For 2034 it is planned in the District garbage service target Bae has reached 65%. Ultimately planning to provide recommendations for the establishment of a regulator UPTD waste management (institutional sub-systems), define some specifications on operational (sub-system regulatory), determines the levy rates (sub financing system), the system determines the operational waste (sub system regulations techniques), and rise community's role in waste management (sub-system of public participation), while the Department of Human Settlements and Spatial Planning as an operator to be able to achieve the waste management systems in Sub Bae effective
