Acronicta lutea
No full textAcronicta lutea species group Medium-sized moths with different wing pattern but typical male genitalia having the valva apex elongated and pointed. The species group includes two species, A. lutea and A. nigricans.Published as part of Volynkin, Anton V., Stüning, Dieter & Matov, Alexej Yu., 2016, On the taxonomy of the genus Acronicta (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae).

Remmigabara Kononenko, Han, Yu & V, 2010, gen. n.
No full textRemmigabara, gen. n. Type-species: Paragabara secunda Remm, 1983, Entomologicheskoe obozrenie 62 ( 3): 596, fig. 7 (Russia, Primorye terr., Tigrovoi). Diagnosis. Wingspan 26–28 mm. Antennae of male filiform; labial palps much shorter than in Paragabara, directed obliquely upward, covered with dense yellow scales, their 3 rd segment short; palps, head and collar covered with yellow-orange scales, forming characteristic “cap”; on head; M 2 on hindwing developed; forewing characteristically concave from apex to mid part; wing ground colour magenta-brown, pattern formed by oblique pale lines shadowed with dark; hindwing uniform magenta-grey. In male genitalia, uncus straight, tegumen half the length of vinculum; scaphium sclerotized, transtilla long, juxta band-like; valva narrow with distinct, well separated elongated club-like cucullus; costa with acute extension in the middle, sacculus elongated, tapered, wall of sacculus with asymmetrical extensions. Aedeagus curved, vesica relatively short, with two short diverticula, without cornuti. In female genitalia, papillae anales short, anterior and posterior apophyses equal in length, antrum broad, cup-like, ductus bursae short, corpus bursae elongated, proximally extended. Notes. The taxonomic placement of the Manchurian genus Remmigabara is unresolved and we tentatively associate Remmigabara with the subfamily Aventiinae (sensu Holloway 2009), due to the shape and pattern of fore wing, the presence of an orange-yellow “cup” on the vertex, the structure of the labial palps and the female genitalia. The male genitalia, however, has unique structures not found yet in Aventiinae. It may be that Remmigabara is allied to Britha Walker, [1866] 1865 (type species: Britha biguttata Walker, [1866] 1865 [India to Taiwan and Australia]); at least Japanese Britha inambitiosa (Leech, 1900) (Figs. 16, 28) shows some similarity to Remmigabara in external characters and male genitalia. Monotypic, distributed in Manchurian subregion of the Palaearctic.Published as part of Kononenko, Vladimir S., Han, Hui-Lin, Yu, Alexej & V, Ато, 2010, A review of the Eastern Palaearctic genera Paragona Staudinger, 1892 and Paragabara Hampson, 1926 with description of two new species and a new genus (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae: Aventiinae, Hypeninae), pp. 51-68 in Zootaxa 2679 on page 66, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19926
Protarchanara Beck 1999
No full textGenus Protarchanara Beck, 1999 Protarchanara Beck, 1999, Herbipoliana 5 / 1: 554. Type-species: Nonagria brevilinea Fenn, 1864. The systematic position of the genus was stated by Zilli et al. (2005). This taxon is a separate lineage close to Photedes, Globia and Apamea and can be characterised by weakly sclerotised ovipositor in females, long and thin costal process forming almost right angle with costa and located outside the plane of valva and smooth clavus in males. The genus includes three described taxa, P. abrupta (Eversmann, 1854), P. brevilinea brevilinea (Fenn, 1864) and P. brevilinea impudica (Staudinger, 1892) stat. n. distributed in Eurasia. A third species is described below.Published as part of Volynkin, Anton V., Matov, Alexej Yu., Gyulai, Péter & Behounek, Gottfried, 2014, A revision of the genus Protarchanara Beck, 1999 with description of a new genus and three new species (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Xyleninae), pp. 165-178 in Zootaxa 3755 (2) on page 168, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3755.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/22834

Paragona dubia Wileman 1916
No full textParagona dubia Wileman, 1916 (Figs. 7, 8) Paragona dubia Wileman, 1916, Entomologist, 49: 82. Type-locality: Taiwan, Anping. Holotype male, BMNH, London. Notes. The species was described from a single male from Taiwan and placed in the genus Paragona by Wileman (1916). It is known to us only by the illustration of the type by Wang (1994: 56) (Figs. 7, 8). Judging from the photo of the holotype, P. dubia could belong to the genus Paragona, however it is not conspecific with any other revised species. The further revision of the type and additional material is necessary to clarify the systematic position of P. dubia.Published as part of Kononenko, Vladimir S., Han, Hui-Lin, Yu, Alexej & V, Ато, 2010, A review of the Eastern Palaearctic genera Paragona Staudinger, 1892 and Paragabara Hampson, 1926 with description of two new species and a new genus (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae: Aventiinae, Hypeninae), pp. 51-68 in Zootaxa 2679 on page 56, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19926
