... This species is very characteristic and cannot be confused with any other known member of the tribe (see egg. Arita & Gorbunov 2001, Bartsch 2008, Duckworth & Eichlin 1988, Kallies 2020, Kallies & Arita 1998, Kallies et al. 2014. Species of Thyranthrene Hampson, 1919 that sometimes exhibit a similar pattern in the transparent areas of the hindwings have a much shorter abdomen, stronger hindlegs and a simple, fan-like anal tuft that does not appear bipartite or forked. ...
A new genus and species, Afranthrene cinerea gen. & sp. nov., from Angola is described and depicted. The new genus belongs to the Adixoa Hampson, [1893] genera group and is related to the African genera Fortikona Bartsch & Sáfián, 2023, Rubukona Fischer, 2007 and Thyranthrene Hampson, 1919. The female, early instars and host plant of the new species are unknown.
... The family Sesiidae (Lepidoptera: Cossoidea), established by Boisduval in 1828 [1], is distributed worldwide, with a majority found in the Afrotropical and Oriental realms [2]. To date, more than 1563 species of 171 genera have been recorded [3]. ...
... This species was only found in Wonju (GW) in Korea, and their densities were relatively lower compared to S. sheni. The genus Paranthrenella, which includes the new species, is mainly distributed in Oriental and Australasian regions, comprising 20 species [2,37]. The discovery of this species in Korea, which is not zoogeographically part of the Oriental region, suggests a high probability of its establishment as an invasive species. ...

The populations of clearwing moth borers in Korea have recently caused extensive and severe damage to pin oaks (Quercus palustris Munchh.). We conducted field monitoring and molecular analyses to identify them in an integrated manner. Morphological examination and molecular analyses of the COI gene, based on intra- and interspecific genetic divergences (GDs), revealed that the borers were identified as two invasive species, Sphecodoptera sheni and Paranthrenella pinoakula sp. nov. The maximum intraspecific GD was found to be 1.9%, whereas the minimum interspecific GD was confirmed as 8.1%, indicating a distinct barcoding gap. Both the MJ network and NJ tree also showed that 18 haplotypes (Hs) were detected from the 52 COI sequences. The borers revealed a total of 17 Hs: (i) H1–H7 were detected in all seven regions with S. sheni; (ii) Wonju and Goyang populations of S. sheni revealed more than three Hs; (iii) H7 was closely connected with H8 of the Chinese population of S. sheni; (iv) H9–H10 were detected in other samples from the Wonju population with P. pinoakula sp. n. and were closely located with congeneric species. A maximum likelihood tree also revealed that P. pinoacula sp. n. nested within the congeneric species, genetically separating from S. sheni.
... Members of this genus have been recorded from Sri Lanka throughout eastern and south-eastern Asia to Papua New Guinea. Up to the present, Oliophlebia includes ten species (Kallies 2020;Pühringer & Kallies 2020). Among them, Oligophlebia minor Xu & Arita, 2014 (Guangdong Prov.) and Oligophlebia ulmi Yang & Wang, 1989 (Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi and Gansu Prov.) are known to occur in China (Yang & Wang 1989;Špatenka et al. 1999;Xu et al. 2014). ...

... The known host plants of Oligophlebia species are Ulmus pumila L. (Ulmaceae), Durio zibethinus L. (Malvaceae), Schoutenia ovata Korth. (Malvaceae) and Theobroma cacao L. (Malvaceae) (Yang & Wang 1989;Robinson et al. 1994;Špatenka et al. 1999;Kallies 2020). ...
A new species, Oligophlebia hibiscivora Yu, Kallies & Arita sp. nov., is described from south-eastern China. Superficially, it is similar to Oligophlebia insurgia Kallies, 2020 but it differs by external features of the abdomen as well as the male genitalia characters. The larva of this new species feed in Hibiscus tiliaceus L. (Malvaceae) and was found in the urban area of Xiamen (Fujian Province) and in Hongkong. Images of male and female specimens, genitalia and pupa of the new species are provided as well as the image of the female genitalia of Oligophlebia minor Xu & Arita, 2014. An updated catalogue of the species of the genus Oligophlebia Hampson, 1893 and a key of Chinese species are provided.
... The genus Pseudosesia was established for a single species, P. insularis C. Felder, 1861, originated from the island of Ambon of the Maluku Islands of Indonesia [Felder, 1861]. There are currently 32 species in this genus [Kallies, 2001[Kallies, , 2020Pühringer, Kallies, 2022]. It occurs through the entire Oriental and the northern part of the Australian Region from North India (Dar-ing a fairly good, but largely morphologically variable series of males, certain difficulties arose in their identification due to the remarkable sexual dimorphism of this genus. ...

... Clearwing diurnal moths of Sesiidae (Hung.: "üvegszárnyú lepkék / darázslepkék / szitkárok") comprise about 1500 species of 160 genera with about 51 subspecies in the world. By global regions, Sesiidae show different species numbers including Australia and Pacific Island (58 species) (Kallies, 2020), Ethiopian region (237 species), Nearctic region (121 species), Neotropical region (268 species), Oriental region (415 species), Palearctic region (347 species) . ...
A group of clearwing moths Sesiidae (Syn.: Aegeriidae) is analyzed here with special emphasis on genetics of currant clearwing moth (Synanthedon tipuliformis, CLERCK 1759). DNA sequences of the longest (1544 nt) available sequence of Sesiidae genes Co1 (cytochrome oxidase subunit-1 of mitochondrial DNA, mtDNA) (mtDNA; NCBI# AJ864359.1) were analyzed after In silico data mining, and dendrogram was edited to reveal molecular diversity and genetic distances among Sesiidae species. Batesian mimicry, sexual dimorphism, and genetics and genomics of Sesiidae are indicated.
... The authors suggested then that Ceratocorema seems to be similar to the genus Tyrictaca Walker, 1862, or may represent a junior subjective synonym of it. Recently Kallies (2020) examined the identity of the genus Tyrictaca Walker, 1862, based on its type species Tyrictaca apicalis Walker, 1862 from Borneo and confirmed that Tyrictaca Walker, 1862 andCeratocorema Hampson, [1893] belong to the same genus-group. Tyrictaca Walker, 1862 is an older genus-group name than Ceratocorema Hampson, [1893], which is a subjective junior synonym of Tyrictaca Walker, 1862. ...
The clearwing moth, Tyrictaca hyalina (Kallies & Arita, 2001) (Tinthiini, Sesiidae), was reared from cultivated Ficus microcarpa L.f. which were imported from China to Poland. Tyrictaca hyalina is native to southeast Asia and was probably reared before from the same imported Ficus plants in Germany and France. This article presents the first description of the pupal morphology of Tyrictaca. We compare the description of pupal morphology of T. hyalina to known morphological features of the pupae of other Tinthiini species. The morphological characters of adult and male genitalia are also presented.
... In addition, Arita et al. (2018) recorded Paranthrenella similis from Guangdong Prov., China. Most recently, Kallies (2020) reviewed the family Sesiidae of Australia, New Guinea and the Pacific Islands and described three new species: Paranthrenella terminalia Kallies, 2020, Paranthrenella brandti Kallies, 2020 and Paranthrenella lelatensis Kallies, 2020 from New Guinea. He also confirmed Paranthrenella melanocera (Hampson, 1919) was valid and transferred six species to the genus: Paranthrenella chrysophanes (Meyrick, 1887), Paranthrenella auriplena (Walker, [1865]), Paranthrenella xanthogyna (Hampson, 1919), Paranthrenella subaurata (Le Cerf, 1916), Paranthrenella phasiaeformis (Felder, 1861) and Paranthrenella pensilis (Swinhoe, 1892). ...

It was originally erected by Hübner [1816Hübner [ -1826 with the only species Melittia anthedoniformis Hübner, 1819Hübner, ["1816, which was considered to be proposed as a replacement name for Sphinx bombiliformis Stoll, 1782(= Sphinx bombyliformis Stoll, 1782) -a primary junior homonym of Sphinx bombyliformis Linnaeus, 1758 (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) [Fletcher, Nye, 1982;Gorbunov, 2017]. ...
Clearwing moth, Synanthedon bicingulata, was first reported in 1931 in Korea, but its economic damage has been suddenly increasing with the climatic change. However, a prediction model for the adult occurrence of S. bicingulata has not yet been developed. Thus, this study was aimed to develop a forecasting model for adult occurrence and to predict its future occurrence. The historical flight activity data of S. bicingulata were fitted with the two-peaked Weibull function against its developmental degree-days with the lower developmental threshold, 4 °C, and the bio-fixed date, October 1 in the previous year. The developed model well predicted its historical emergence in field conditions. When the model was applied to climate change scenarios, it was expected that the future occurrence of S. bicingulata could become earlier than the current. Thus, the results of this study should be helpful in managing S. bicigulata populations.
Synanthedon bastak sp. n. is described and illustrated from the Bastak Nature Reserve in the eastern part of Jewish Autonomous Oblast in Russia. This new species belongs to the Synanthedon andrenaeformis species-group and is very close to S. soffneri Špatenka, 1983, from which it differs in the shape of the external transparent area of the forewing and some details in the male genitalia. The female and larvae of a new species are unknown.
