FE1087C0FF91FFC4FF4DFB09E0BEFA64.taxon	discussion	Remark: T. nicobari, sp. nov. is a closely similar species of T. varians, a widely distributed species in India, including Andaman Islands. However, all the records of Nicobar belong to the new species only. Therefore, T. nicobari and T. varians appears to be allopatric with the former as an endemic to Nicobar.	en	Singh, Navneet, Ahmad, Jalil, Chandra, Kailash (2021): A new species of genus Trilocha Moore, [1860] from Great Nicobar Island, India (Lepidoptera, Bombycoidea, Bombycidae).

FE1087C0FF92FFC7FF4DFF21E69AFB3C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. T. nicobari, sp. nov. is most closely similar to T. varians, but is distinct by the presence of single postmedial zigzag line, which is double in T. varians. In the male genitalia, T. nicobari, sp. nov. (Figs 7 – 9) is distinguished by the presence of a small, mid ventral flap of valva, which is absent in T. varians. Additionally, T. nicobari, sp. nov. is distinct from all its congeners by the broadest valva and the smallest saccus.	en	Singh, Navneet, Ahmad, Jalil, Chandra, Kailash (2021): A new species of genus Trilocha Moore, [1860] from Great Nicobar Island, India (Lepidoptera, Bombycoidea, Bombycidae).

Forewing with a basal triangular patch of brownish scales, followed by a c-curved antemedial line of brown scales; an elongated mid-costal patch of brown scale, giving rise to small bar, expanding to an elongated spot on discocellular; discocellular mark varies from almost circular to bar like or irregular circle, below it, irregular lines of brown scale reaching inner margin; postmedial zigzag line of brown scales which is more conspicuous and excurved from costa to radial veins and then inwardly oblique to inner margin; an elongated costal brown bar on apex; a prominent, approximately triangular patch of brown scale at the middle of termen. Hindwing uniformly covered with brown scale, interno-median margin having bands of dark and light scales.
