Summary
. It is established that all previous records of
Barsine spilosomoides
for eastern
Himalaya belong to females of
Barsine defecta
Walker, 1854
, and records of
B. defecta
from
Thailand
and
Vietnam
belong to
Barsine gratissima
(de Joannis, 1930)
,
comb. n.
The new synonymy is established:
B. defecta defecta
Walker, 1854
=
Lyclene indistincta
Moore, 1878
,
syn. n.
, =
Miltochrista magna
Hampson, 1894
,
syn. n.
Two new subspecies are described:
B.
defecta rubella
Volynkin et Černý,
subsp. n.
(
China
:
Yunnan
) and
B. gratissima versicolor
Volynkin et Černý,
subsp. n.
(
Thailand
and
Laos
).
Miltochrista spilosomoides
(Moore,
1878) is transferred here to the genus
Barsine
; moreover,
B. linga spilosomoides
(Moore,
1878),
comb. et stat. n.
is considered only as a subspecies of
Barsine linga
Moore, 1859
.
Barsine kulingensis
(Daniel, 1952)
,
comb. et stat. n.
, previously treated as a subspecies of
Miltochrista spilosomoides
, is upgraded here to the species level. The species status of
Barsine gilveola
(Daniel, 1952)
,
comb. n.
is confirmed. The
lectotype
of
Miltochrista magna
Hampson, 1894 is designated. The male and female genitalia of
B. gratissima
and
B. linga spilosomoides
are illustrated for the first time. Diagnoses for all included in paper species are given.
