925787E58923551CFF11AE70260FFEC1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The A. pica species-group differs from the other species-groups, except the A. bieti species-group, by the combination of the following characters: 1) forewing costa usually with an orange-colored spot at the base, forewing with two transverse bands of various shapes from costa to dorsum or vein 1 A + 2 A, 2) in male genitalia, uncus narrow and tongue-shaped and the posterior tegumenal projection plate-like, broad, and rugose on the surface. From the A. bieti species-group, the A. pica species-group can be distinguished by the structure of the posterior tegumenal projection arising from the inner margin of tegumen, which is broad and rugose in the A. pica species-group, while that is narrow and smooth in the A. bieti species-group. Moreover, in the A. pica species-group the posterior part of the medial band of forewing is usually more or less situated in a line with the anterior part, while in the A. bieti species-group the posterior part of the medial band is clearly shifting inwards (except for A. bieti (Oberthür, 1886 )). The female genitalia of these two species-groups share the same ground plan and do not show significant differences. External morphology of adult. Forewing length 18 – 27 mm in males and 16 – 27 mm in females. Antennae bipectinate with longer rami in males and shorter ones in females. Head, thorax and abdomen nearly glabrous, with abdomen sometimes covered by thin piliform scales dorsally. Both wings thinly scaled and transparent. Forewing upperside ground color varying from greyish white to pale yellow, with base marked with orange and transverse bands presenting in antemedial and medial zone, in certain species an additional basal band present. Veins usually darkened especially for postmedial area. Hindwing upperside usually darkened at margin. Veins usually darkened. Male genitalia. Uncus broad at base, its distal part tongue-shaped, narrow and thick, with tip flat or slightly bilobed. Tegumen broad with rounded margins. Posterior tegumenal projection plate-like, broad and rugose on the surface. Vinculum narrow. Saccus broad U-shaped and rounded. Juxta elongated, uni- or bilobed distally, with distal part of the lobe covered by spinules on the surface and lateral margins in some species. Valvae slender, costa strongly sclerotized in the outer half; sacculus strongly sclerotized thoroughly, distal saccular process spiniform, pointed outwards. Aedeagus narrow, broader at base and gradually narrowed towards distal end. Female genitalia. Papillae anales slender. Apophysis posterioris longer than apophysis anterioris, both strongly sclerotized. Eighth tergite partially well-sclerotized and formed a triangular plate. Ostium bursae narrow and rounded. Ductus bursae narrow and membranous. Corpus bursae pyriform, membranous. Signa paired, strongly or weakly sclerotized, covered by spinules at the surface.	en	Huang, Si-Yao, Zhu, Li-Juan, Chen, En-Yong, Xu, Yong-Qiang, Wang, Min, Fan, Xiao-Ling, Pan, Zhao-Hui, Espeland, Marianne (2022): Contribution to the knowledge of the genus Agalope Walker from mainland China with descriptions of four new species (Lepidoptera, Zygaenidae, Chalcosiinae).

925787E58927551CFF11AB9E2360FA41.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Length of forewing 21. 3 mm in male (holotype) and 17. 8 mm in female (paratype). Agalope haoi sp. n. is reminiscent of A. wangi (Figs 3, 4, 32, 33, 58) from Taiwan island and A. bieti (Fig. 28) from Ta-tsien-lu (currently surroundings of Kangding City, Western Sichuan, China), but it can be easily distinguished from the former by the combination of the following characters: 1) antemedial and medial bands of the forewing are well-developed, straight, broader near costa and gradually narrowing towards dorsum, while both bands are narrower and obsolete in A. wangi; 2) discal area of the hindwing is whitish, while it is brownish in A. wangi; 3) uncus is shorter and narrower, posterior tegumenal projection slightly narrower, and juxta bilobed at the distal end, while in A. wangi the distal end of juxta is flat; 4) in female genitalia the 8 th tergite is much narrower and band-like (indicated by arrow in Fig. 57) and the ductus bursae is shorter, while in A. wangi the 8 th tergite is broader (indicated by arrow in Fig. 58) and triangular-shaped, and the ductus bursae is longer. From A. bieti, A. haoi sp. n. can be distinguished by the combination of the following characters: 1) antemedial and medial bands of forewing are thinner especially in the posterior part; 2) hindwing upperside is more whitish, while it is darker and diffused with much more blackish-brown scales in A. bieti; 3) distal end of juxta is bilobed and V-shaped, while that of juxta is truncate and with concave distal margin in A. bieti (according to Yen et al. 2005).	en	Huang, Si-Yao, Zhu, Li-Juan, Chen, En-Yong, Xu, Yong-Qiang, Wang, Min, Fan, Xiao-Ling, Pan, Zhao-Hui, Espeland, Marianne (2022): Contribution to the knowledge of the genus Agalope Walker from mainland China with descriptions of four new species (Lepidoptera, Zygaenidae, Chalcosiinae).

925787E58927551CFF11AB9E2360FA41.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet haoi is dedicated to the collector of the type series, Mr. Hao Huang.	en	Huang, Si-Yao, Zhu, Li-Juan, Chen, En-Yong, Xu, Yong-Qiang, Wang, Min, Fan, Xiao-Ling, Pan, Zhao-Hui, Espeland, Marianne (2022): Contribution to the knowledge of the genus Agalope Walker from mainland China with descriptions of four new species (Lepidoptera, Zygaenidae, Chalcosiinae).

925787E58927551CFF11AB9E2360FA41.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Although the forewing pattern of the new species is quite similar to that of A. bieti, and thus the possibility of conspecificity exists, we still classify them as two species. Apart from the morphological differences stated above, the geographical distribution pattern of A. bieti and A. haoi sp. n. is very much similar to that of A. lucia and A. dejeani Oberthür, 1893 (Fig. 68), with one found in Western Sichuan and another found in Western or Northwestern Yunnan, both restricted in relatively high altitude. Interestingly, the external differences of A. haoi sp. n. and A. bieti also well correspond with those between A. lucia (Figs 21 – 25) and A. dejeani (Figs 26, 27), with one paler and the other one darker. Since the latter two have turned out to be two distinct species, this should be the same for A. haoi sp. n. and A. bieti due to the isolation in different high mountainous regions.	en	Huang, Si-Yao, Zhu, Li-Juan, Chen, En-Yong, Xu, Yong-Qiang, Wang, Min, Fan, Xiao-Ling, Pan, Zhao-Hui, Espeland, Marianne (2022): Contribution to the knowledge of the genus Agalope Walker from mainland China with descriptions of four new species (Lepidoptera, Zygaenidae, Chalcosiinae).

925787E589275511FF11AC0323DAFF71.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Length forewing 24.4 – 27.3 mm in male (27.3 mm in holotype). Agalope chayuensis sp. n. is reminiscent of A. pica (Figs 8 – 10, 37, 38) from Taiwan, but it can be easily distinguished from the latter by the combination of the following characters: 1) size larger, length of forewing 24.4 – 27.3 mm against 20.4 – 23.3 mm in A. pica; 2) apex of forewing is somewhat protruding outwards, while in A. pica it is more rounded; 3) darkish pattern on forewing is pale blackish brown, less contrasting with the pale ground color, while in A. pica the darkish pattern is deeper and more contrasting; 4) antemedial band on forewing is more regular and intact, while that in A. pica is irregular and often broken; 5) uncus is slightly broader; 6) branches of the basal part of the uncus is shorter (indicated by arrow in both species in Figs. 34 – 38). Agalope chayuensis sp. n. is also similar to A. aurelia (Figs 16 – 20, 43, 44, 49, 50, 60) from Western Yunnan, China and A. owadai sp. n. (Figs 11 – 15, 39 – 42, 45 – 48, 59) from Bomi and Jiali Counties, Xizang, China described below by sharing similar forewing shape and transverse bands on forewing upperside, but it can be easily distinguished from both species by the shape of the juxta, which is smooth, spade-like and not bifurcate, similar to that of A. pica, while in A. aurelia and A. owadai sp. n. it is clearly bifurcate apically and each lobe is covered by spinules. Female unknown.	en	Huang, Si-Yao, Zhu, Li-Juan, Chen, En-Yong, Xu, Yong-Qiang, Wang, Min, Fan, Xiao-Ling, Pan, Zhao-Hui, Espeland, Marianne (2022): Contribution to the knowledge of the genus Agalope Walker from mainland China with descriptions of four new species (Lepidoptera, Zygaenidae, Chalcosiinae).

In general A. owadai sp. n. is reminiscent of A. aurelia (Figs 16 – 20, 43, 44, 49, 50, 60) from Yunnan, China, but it can be easily distinguished from the latter by the combination of the following characters: 1) darkish pattern of forewing from the postmedial to marginal section of the wing is paler and less contrasting with the ground color; 2) lobes of the bifurcate juxta are covered by larger spinules laterally and dorsally (Figs 45 – 48); while in A. aurelia they are covered by smaller spinules laterally and much lesser and smaller ones dorsally (Figs 49, 50); 3) aedeagus is significantly more slender medially and distally; 4) corpus bursae is much smaller with signa weakly sclerotized, smaller and obsolete, while in A. aurelia the corpus bursae is much larger with signum strongly sclerotized, larger and prominent. Agalope owadai sp. n. is also superficially similar to A. chayuensis sp. n. described above and the comparison has been made in the diagnosis of the former species.	en	Huang, Si-Yao, Zhu, Li-Juan, Chen, En-Yong, Xu, Yong-Qiang, Wang, Min, Fan, Xiao-Ling, Pan, Zhao-Hui, Espeland, Marianne (2022): Contribution to the knowledge of the genus Agalope Walker from mainland China with descriptions of four new species (Lepidoptera, Zygaenidae, Chalcosiinae).

925787E589285512FF11AD122499F81D.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Within the A. bieti species-group, A. bieti (Fig. 28) is different from its two Chinese congeners, A. dejeani and A. lucia by the posterior part of the antemedial and medial bands not bent inwards but straightly reaching the dorsum instead. The feature in fact, fits well with that of certain species in the A. pica species-group, e. g. A. haoi sp. n. In addition, the externally similar A. haoi sp. n. described above is a member of A. pica species-group without any doubt, so there is a possibility that A. bieti should also be assigned to A. pica species-group. However, this conclusion can only be asserted after examining the genitalia of A. bieti.	en	Huang, Si-Yao, Zhu, Li-Juan, Chen, En-Yong, Xu, Yong-Qiang, Wang, Min, Fan, Xiao-Ling, Pan, Zhao-Hui, Espeland, Marianne (2022): Contribution to the knowledge of the genus Agalope Walker from mainland China with descriptions of four new species (Lepidoptera, Zygaenidae, Chalcosiinae).

925787E5892E5515FF11AABF26F1FBB0.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Agalope lucia was described based on an uncertain number of females collected from Tsekou, Northwestern Yunnan (Now Cigu Village, Deqin County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, P. R. China), and subsequently included in the A. pica species-group by Yen et al. (2005). However, after the discovery of the previously unknown male, this enigmatic species turns out to be a close relative of A. dejeani (Figs 26, 27, 52), distributed in Northwestern Sichuan, due to the presence of small, narrow and smooth posterior tegumenal projection in the male genitalia. Hence A. lucia is excluded from the A. pica species-group and included in the A. bieti species-group. Agalope lucia can be easily distinguished from A. dejeani by the following characters in male (the female of A. dejeani is unknown): 1) forewing base without an additional basal band, while present in A. dejeani; 2) hindwing more blackish in dorsum and marginal area; 3) distal lobes of juxta broader at the tip; notch between the two lobes narrower and deeper, 4) valvae slightly narrower subapically, the distal saccular process significantly shorter and 5) aedeagus slender.	en	Huang, Si-Yao, Zhu, Li-Juan, Chen, En-Yong, Xu, Yong-Qiang, Wang, Min, Fan, Xiao-Ling, Pan, Zhao-Hui, Espeland, Marianne (2022): Contribution to the knowledge of the genus Agalope Walker from mainland China with descriptions of four new species (Lepidoptera, Zygaenidae, Chalcosiinae).

925787E5892E5516FF11AFF726ACFE09.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The A. hyalina species-group is characterized by the combination of the following characters: 1) forewing base orange or ochreous, usually with one diffused transverse band at discal area, extending from the costa through the discal cell and reaching the dorsum, 2) 8 th tergite with its posterior part bifurcate (except for A. formosana), 3) uncus broad and triangular and 4) posterior tegumenal projection narrow and rod-like, smooth on the surface. External morphology of adult. Forewing length approximately 17 – 28 mm in males and 17.5 – 30 mm in females. Antennae bipectinate with longer rami in males and shorter ones in females. Head, thorax and abdomen thinly-scaled. Both wings thinly-scaled and translucent. Ground color of forewing varying from creamy white to yellow with orange-marked forewing base and one transverse band in the medial zone, usually diffused. Veins darkened. Ground color of hindwing creamy white or greyish white. Veins sometimes darkened. Male genitalia. Uncus broad at base and gradually narrowed towards tip with distal end rounded. Tegumen broad with rounded margins. Posterior tegumenal projection rod-like, narrow and smooth on the surface. Vinculum narrow. Saccus rounded, U-shaped. Juxta U-shaped. Valvae relatively broad and short, strongly sclerotized; distal end usually plate-like, covered by spinules, and sometimes developed into a projection, smooth or spiny. Aedeagus simple and slender.

925787E5892D5516FF11ABD62467FB91.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Length of forewing 19. 3 mm. Agalope jianqingi sp. n. is reminiscent of A. primularis Butler, 1875 (Figs 30, 54, 56) from Eastern Nepal and Northeastern India for sharing a similar 8 th tergite, which bears two narrow and slender processes, whereas in other congeners these processes are thick and stout or absent (Owada 1992; Horie 1993; Owada & Horie 2000), but it can be immediately distinguished from A. primularis by the combination of the following characters: 1) male forewing ground color is creamy white instead of yellow in A. primularis; 2) posterior tegumenal projection is much broader and longer; 3) notch between the lobes of juxta is wider and deeper; 4) valva is more slender, with the distal part longer and 5) aedeagus shorter and broader.	en	Huang, Si-Yao, Zhu, Li-Juan, Chen, En-Yong, Xu, Yong-Qiang, Wang, Min, Fan, Xiao-Ling, Pan, Zhao-Hui, Espeland, Marianne (2022): Contribution to the knowledge of the genus Agalope Walker from mainland China with descriptions of four new species (Lepidoptera, Zygaenidae, Chalcosiinae).
