03A987B6E321B674FF4FD4E8FF20FA14.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Forewing length: ♂ 27 mm. The genus Tarsolepis containing 15 globally known species is divided into three subgenera with five species till now reported from India viz. subgenus Tarsolepis including T. remicauda remicauda Butler, 1872, subgenus Tarsolepisoides comprising T. japonica Wileman & South, 1917, T. malayana Nakamura, 1976 and T. rufobrunnea Rothschild, 1917 and subgenus Megashachia containing T. fulgurifera (Walker, 1858). All species of the genus Tarsolepis can easily be recognized by having large, triangular silvery spots on the forewing, apical tuft of spatulate scales in abdomen, pair of brushes of red hairs on the underside of abdomen; male genitalia are characterized by prominent bifurcate uncus with paired socii. Tarsolepis taiwana can be easily diagnosed from its congeners by having an additional prominent small, dorsal, silver spot with a bifurcate end, towards the inner margin at the base of forewing. The male genitalia of T. taiwana are typified by having a much broader valvae apex and elongated, slender, apically curved harpe.	en	Mazumder, Arna, Sanyal, Abesh Kumar, Schintlmeister, Alexander, Gayen, Subrata, Chandra, Kailash, Raha, Angshuman (2022): New records of Notodontidae Stephens, 1829 (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) from India.

03A987B6E321B674FF4FD4E8FF20FA14.taxon	discussion	Remarks: Although intraspecific variation in the male genitalia of T. taiwana is not mentioned in previous literature, some recognizable differences are found, such as more roundish apex of valvae, more robust and inwardly curved harpe and the weaker medial depression of the distal part of 8 th sternite in our specimen when compared to that in Taiwanese specimen as illustrated in Schintlmeister (2008). Outside Taiwan, the species was so far known to be locally restricted within South China, Vietnam and Thailand (Schintlmeister 2008). The newly reported record extends its known range farther westward up to Subtropical Wet Evergreen Forests of eastern Arunachal Pradesh (Fig. 1).	en	Mazumder, Arna, Sanyal, Abesh Kumar, Schintlmeister, Alexander, Gayen, Subrata, Chandra, Kailash, Raha, Angshuman (2022): New records of Notodontidae Stephens, 1829 (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) from India.

03A987B6E321B675FF4FD363FB26FBB2.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Forewing length: ♂ 17.5 – 20 mm. Ogulina ochrocinerea is externally similar to O. argentilinea (Cai, 1982) and O. eupatagia (Hampson, 1893), but can be differentiated by following features: the forewing ground colour in O. ochrocinerea is ochreous-brown with longitudinal, irregular, orange-brown to dark fuscous-grey suffusions, whereas the other two species have paler forewing with varying degree of golden-orange to yellow suffusions. The most distinguishing feature of O. ochrocinerea is the curved, fuscous, medial band running obliquely from costa to before the middle of inner margin, being most prominent near costa and gradually diffusing towards inner margin. In male genitalia, O. ochrocinerea shares identical features with O. argentilinea, but lacks the spine-like process in the uncus present in O. argentilinea. Valvae apex is more acute in O. ochrocinerea, while it is rather roundish in O. argentilinea. The sacculus is narrow with a small spine in O. argentilinea, but broader, semicircular and devoid of any spine like process in O. ochrocinerea. The phallus is apically curved in O. ochrocinerea, while it is rather straight in O. argentilinea. Minute differences also exist in the sclerotization of the 8 th sternite, the posterior tails of which are more proximal to each other in O. ochrocinerea than in O. argentilinea.	en	Mazumder, Arna, Sanyal, Abesh Kumar, Schintlmeister, Alexander, Gayen, Subrata, Chandra, Kailash, Raha, Angshuman (2022): New records of Notodontidae Stephens, 1829 (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) from India.

03A987B6E321B675FF4FD363FB26FBB2.taxon	discussion	Remarks: The present record of O. ochrocinerea from Western as well as Eastern Himalaya extends the known range of the species both geographically and altitudinally. Current geographical range of the species can be considered from Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand to Dibang valley in Arunachal Pradesh, thus extending distribution limit both eastward and westward. While, the species was originally described from 1600 m altitude in Nepal (Sugi 1995), current records extend its range from 1550 m to 2250 m (Fig. 2). The species was found to prefer Western Mixed Coniferous Forest dominated by Quercus Linnaeus species in Western Himalaya during the month of June. Whereas, in Eastern Himalaya, it was observed in Subtropical Wet Hill Forest dominated by Castanopsis (D. Don) Spach, Schima Reinwardt ex Blume, Bohmeria Jacquin etc. during the months of April-May. The genus Ogulina was considered a subgenus of Biula by Schintlmeister (2013), but later reinstated as valid genus based on wing pattern and male genitalia characters by Kobayashi & Nonaka (2016). Until now this genus was known only by single species, O. eupatagia, from India (Chandra et al. 2018), our record adds a second species.	en	Mazumder, Arna, Sanyal, Abesh Kumar, Schintlmeister, Alexander, Gayen, Subrata, Chandra, Kailash, Raha, Angshuman (2022): New records of Notodontidae Stephens, 1829 (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) from India.

03A987B6E327B673FF4FD196FCDEFDBA.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Kobayashi and Nonaka (2016) treated Odnarda sinica (Kiriakoff, 1962) as the representative taxon to revive Odnarda Kiriakoff, 1962 as a full genus from the subgeneric status under the then extended concept of genus Biula Walker, 1857 on the basis of male genitalia and wing pattern. The basic structure of the 8 th abdominal segment in the male genitalia is one of the simplest, yet best morphological synapomorphy for the species belonging to a genus in Notodontidae. The basic pattern of not only the 8 th abdominal segment, but the entire male genitalia of Biula (Odnarda) leechi (Schintlmeister, 1997) is similar to that of O. sinica which undoubtedly groups these two species in the genus Odnarda. Therefore, Odnarda leechi (Schintlmeister, 1997) is being used as a new combination in this study. Forewing length: ♂ 19.5 – 20.5 mm. Odnarda leechi belonging to the cryptic sinica - complex, resembles closely to O. sinica (Kiriakoff, 1962), O. frugalis (Leech, 1898) and O. alboflavida (Bryk, 1949). Among these, O. leechi is practically indistinguishable from O. sinica externally except its paler colouration. Odnarda frugalis has even darker colouration than both O. leechi and O. sinica. Distinct blackish markings near the forewing apex present in O. frugalis is obsolete in the other three species mentioned here. Odnarda leechi lacks the median prominent shadow and postmedian double rows of blackish specks as present in O. alboflavida. In the male genitalia, the threearmed soccii is the best character to distinguish O. leechi from the other three species which have two-armed soccii. Moreover, the elongated, deeply bilobed uncus, crescent shaped sclerotization in valve sacculus and more apically curved phallus are also typical to O. leechi.	en	Mazumder, Arna, Sanyal, Abesh Kumar, Schintlmeister, Alexander, Gayen, Subrata, Chandra, Kailash, Raha, Angshuman (2022): New records of Notodontidae Stephens, 1829 (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) from India.

03A987B6E327B673FF4FD196FCDEFDBA.taxon	discussion	Remarks: Minor differences in the male genitalia of our specimens are observed when compared with that of Vietnam specimens as illustrated in Schintlmeister (1997). The tegumen in the Vietnamese specimen is slightly broader and the 8 th tergite is more deeply bilobed than those in our specimens. This species was described from North Vietnam within altitudinal range of 1600 – 2250 m (Schintlmeister 1997). It was later found in China (Yunnan, Sichuan, Tibet up to 3000 m) (Schintlmeister 2008) and Myanmar (pers. obs.). The present record from Arunachal Pradesh not only extends its distribution limit, but also the altitudinal range of the species (Fig. 3). Within Eastern Himalayan landscape, the species was particularly active in Sub-alpine Birch-Fir Forest distributed from 3000 to 3800 m altitudinal range. Moreover, the species will be the fourth under the genus Odnarda, known until now by O. basistriga (Moore, 1879), O. nigrofasciata (Hampson, 1892) and O. tamurensis (Nakamura, 1974) from India, all the species being exclusively Himalayan in distribution.	en	Mazumder, Arna, Sanyal, Abesh Kumar, Schintlmeister, Alexander, Gayen, Subrata, Chandra, Kailash, Raha, Angshuman (2022): New records of Notodontidae Stephens, 1829 (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) from India.

03A987B6E326B670FF4FD0CBFD59FD4A.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Schintlmeister (2013) considered Torona Walker, 1865, Cutuza Kiriakoff, 1962 and Mangea Kishida, 2004 as subgenera under the extended concept of genus Bireta Walker, 1856. Kobayashi and Nonaka (2016) revived all these subgenera to valid genera based on their characteristic wing pattern and male genitalia formations which are quite different from those of Bireta. The basic formation of the male genitalia of Bireta (Torona) lucida Schintlmeister, 2008 is similar to that of T. ferrifera Walker, 1865 which Kobayashi and Nonaka (2016) treated as the representative taxon to revive Torona as a valid genus. Therefore, Torona lucida (Schintlmeister, 2008) is being used here as a new combination. Forewing length: ♂ 24 – 25 mm. Torona lucida most closely resembles T. ferrifera Walker, 1865, the only known species under this genus from India, distributed also in Northeastern India, but differs in following characters: forewing is much broader with acute apex compared to rounder apex in T. ferrifera. Moreover, the weakly developed brown shading on the lemon-yellow ground colour and the presence of median brown spot below the cell in T. ferrifera and T. symmetricus (Schintlmeister, 1997), are obsolete or indistinct in T. lucida. The hindwing of T. lucida is more yellowish without any white or brownish suffusion, whereas that in T. ferrifera and T. symmetricus is rather white. The female of T. lucida can be confused with T. symmetricus, but the forewing patterns are more prominent in T. lucida. In male genitalia, T. lucida differs from T. ferrifera in having broader knob-shaped uncus, an extra small process on soccii and somewhat straight phallus which is curved in the latter.	en	Mazumder, Arna, Sanyal, Abesh Kumar, Schintlmeister, Alexander, Gayen, Subrata, Chandra, Kailash, Raha, Angshuman (2022): New records of Notodontidae Stephens, 1829 (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) from India.

In markings, the species superficially resembles Syntypistis perdix (Moore, 1879), whose ground colour is rather whitish with lines and patches marked with greyish-black, additionally with a black basal streak in forewing lacking in S. witoldi. The hindwing of S. witoldi lacks any prominent band other than fuscous-brown costal band, with medial dark shading. In S. perdix there is a fine medial line followed by a dark postmedial band, both prominent only on costal half, further followed by an almost complete marginal pale band. In male genitalia, the valvae of S. witoldi is broad, highly sclerotized and its apex is club-shaped, whereas, S. perdix possesses the characteristic valval apical curve. The phallus of S. witoldi is longer and slenderer in appearance than S. perdix. The 8 th sternite is slightly bulged at the posterior margin with flat top lacking the characteristic short central projection as in S. perdix.	en	Mazumder, Arna, Sanyal, Abesh Kumar, Schintlmeister, Alexander, Gayen, Subrata, Chandra, Kailash, Raha, Angshuman (2022): New records of Notodontidae Stephens, 1829 (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) from India.

03A987B6E324B67EFF4FD3E0FC9CFC92.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Forewing length: ♂ 26 mm. The subspecies Pseudosomera noctuiformis yunwu is larger in size with contrastingly patterned broad forewing of blackish ground colour with all the lines and the large reniform stigma distinctly marked with yellowish scales, compared to the much smaller nominotypical subspecies which is overall greenish in appearance. A conspicuous and discontinuous subterminal line consisting of large black patches is present in subspecies P. n. yunwu, which is absent in the nominotypical subspecies. The dark brown line passing through the antemedian region of hindwing in P. n. noctuiformis, is less prominent in P. n. yunwu. The male genitalia in ssp. P. n. yunwu are characterized by a robust uncus, a small projection from the basal part of costa of the valvae and a deeply bilobed 8 th sternite as compared to the nominotypical subspecies. The small projection from the basal part of valval costa in our specimen is more sclerotized, with a blunt tip compared to that of a Vietnamese specimen provided in Schintlmeister (2008) in which this trait is slender with an acute tip.	en	Mazumder, Arna, Sanyal, Abesh Kumar, Schintlmeister, Alexander, Gayen, Subrata, Chandra, Kailash, Raha, Angshuman (2022): New records of Notodontidae Stephens, 1829 (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) from India.

Himalodontosia is a monotypic genus with only described species H. mahendra having characteristic ochreous-grey forewing irrorated with dark grey and marked by black and white. Forewing displays a slightly sinuous antemedial line; a horizontal, longitudinal black streak in cell connecting two black short, vertical streaks situated at the beginning and at the end of cell; a medial black line; postmedial highly crenulated line bordered exteriorly with white and a black, highly irregular, waved subterminal line. The hindwing is dirty-white with a faint medial line and darker marginal area. Male genitalia are characterized by robust, apically round uncus, socii with screw-like apex and valvae with tapered apical flap and subapical spine. The most characteristic feature being the asymmetrical, stout, curved costal basal process with bilobed right-half. The phallus bears a stout, curved, apical hook and the 8 th sternite has a caudal depression.	en	Mazumder, Arna, Sanyal, Abesh Kumar, Schintlmeister, Alexander, Gayen, Subrata, Chandra, Kailash, Raha, Angshuman (2022): New records of Notodontidae Stephens, 1829 (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) from India.

03A987B6E32BB67EFF4FD6B9FEB5F829.taxon	discussion	Remarks: This monotypic genus was so far known only from the type locality at Mount Pulchouki in Godavari district of Eastern Nepal (Sugi 1993). The current records of the species for the first time from the country from Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh clarified that the species is rather well distributed throughout the entire length of the Himalaya (Fig. 2). This apparently rare species was recorded from Quercus forest habitat at around 1600 m from Western Himalayan landscape in Askot WLS and Wet Temperate Forest habitat at around 1700 m from Eastern Himalayan landscape of Dihang-Dibang BR. Though the male individual from Arunachal Pradesh in our study displayed minute, yet recognizable variations both in external and genitalia morphology from that of the Nepalese specimen illustrated in Sugi (1993), they can merely be considered as individual variations until the examination of further specimens.	en	Mazumder, Arna, Sanyal, Abesh Kumar, Schintlmeister, Alexander, Gayen, Subrata, Chandra, Kailash, Raha, Angshuman (2022): New records of Notodontidae Stephens, 1829 (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) from India.

03A987B6E32AB67DFF4FD5C8FE15F862.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Forewing length: ♂ 31 mm. The genus Periphalera is known globally by three species, all sympatrically flying in the South China and Myanmar, viz. P. albicauda (Bryk, 1949), P. spadixa Wu & Fang, 2003 and P. melanius Schintlmeister, 1997, among which P. albicauda most closely resembles P. spadixa by having the contrastingly patterned grey-brown and white ground colour, instead of darker, blackish-brown ground colour of P. melanius. The species, P. albicauda differs from P. spadixa by slightly narrower and more prominently patterned forewing with the following characters: highly crenulated antemedian line; prominent horizontal cell-streak; slightly crenulated double postmedial line followed by broad white region which extends up to the margin below vein M 3; a broad submarginal grey-brown patch from costa to M 3, followed below by two large white interneural annuli between M 3 and Cu 2; a prominent marginal white line; checkered brown and white cilia. In male genitalia, the uncus in P. albicauda is shorter and ends in a pointed tip unlike its other congeners. The major distinguishing character is the asymmetrically bifurcated socii of P. albicauda. The phallus of P. albicauda lacks the spine-like process of P. spadixa, instead it possesses a single serrated plate on the vesica. The 8 th sternite of P. albicauda is slightly asymmetrical, more heavily sclerotized than P. spadixa and P. melanius. The phallus in our specimen is much narrower than that in the Vietnamese specimen pictured in Schintlmeister (2008).	en	Mazumder, Arna, Sanyal, Abesh Kumar, Schintlmeister, Alexander, Gayen, Subrata, Chandra, Kailash, Raha, Angshuman (2022): New records of Notodontidae Stephens, 1829 (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) from India.

03A987B6E32EB678FF4FD3DCFBDBFCBE.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Forewing length: ♂ 20.5 – 23 mm. Ptilodon amplius is a member of the ‘ flavistigma species complex’ and externally very similar to P. flavistigma (Moore, 1879), P. saturata (Walker, 1865) and P. spinosa Schintlmeister, 2007. All the four species have brownish forewing, among which P. amplius has most prominent yellowish scales on fuscous-brown ground color, especially on outer half of forewing which differentiates it from P. saturata with less yellowish irroration, and P. flavistigma having very dark, brownish-black ground colour with well-marked reniform stigma. P. amplius can be differentiated from P. spinosa by less contrasting forewing pattern. The pale postmedian fascia and the row of pale dots following it are more distinct in P. amplius than P. saturata. The crenulated blackish fascia originating from the tooth scale to the costa of forewing is also more contrasting in P. amplius than that of P. spinosa and P. flavistigma. The male genitalia in P. amplius possesses small triangular gnathos-like structure in uncus. The valvae are variable and may or may not possess basal spine. The spiny-toothed sclerotizations in the 8 th sternite enclosing a deep furrow are typical to this species.	en	Mazumder, Arna, Sanyal, Abesh Kumar, Schintlmeister, Alexander, Gayen, Subrata, Chandra, Kailash, Raha, Angshuman (2022): New records of Notodontidae Stephens, 1829 (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) from India.
