03FA351AAC0D2861988B27E907E0824B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Morphologically, Caissa aruna sp. nov. belongs to the third species group of Caissa. The new species and its closely similar species C. parenti (Wu & Fang 2008, Fig. 2, 6) are distinct from all the other congeners by a prominent process originating from the junction of valva base and transtilla, which is absent in other species of the genus. Caissa aruna sp. nov. is distinct from C. parenti by the valva with almost equal width throughout the length and narrowly rounded at apex, the saccular process is almost straight and apically blunt, and the juxta is mushroom shaped, whereas in C. parenti, the valva is apically broadened, the saccular process is curved towards costa, pointed apically and the juxta is almost quadrilateral. In C. aruna sp. nov. the aedeagus is longer with a dentate apical plate which is absent in C. parenti.	en	Singh, Navneet, Ahmad, Jalil (2022): A new species and a new species record of Caissa Hering from India (Lepidoptera: Limacodidae).

03FA351AAC0C2864988B24DF06BA80A9.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Externally, C. gambita follows the general feature of the second group of Caissa species. In male genitalia, the uncus is triangular with a minute apical spine and the gnathos is two-thirds the length of the uncus, pointed apically. The valva is apically broadened, covered with dense hair, with a basal saccular process that is rod-like, reaching almost 3 / 4 of the valva. Taxonomic note: Herein, the type of Caissa gambita is studied for the first time. Previous records of C. gambita (Wu & Fang 2008: Figs 1, 5, Yoshimoto 1994: Figs 14, 472) are the wrong identification of C. fasciatum.	en	Singh, Navneet, Ahmad, Jalil (2022): A new species and a new species record of Caissa Hering from India (Lepidoptera: Limacodidae).
