Five new species of the genus Meganola Dyar, 1898 (Lepidoptera: Nolidae: Nolinae) from China
Abstract
Five new species of the genus Meganola Dyar, 1898 (M. subascripta, M. nanlinga, M. cenwanga, M. wilbarka and M. daminga spp. n.) are described from China and the adjacent regions, including figures of the adults and genitalia.
... The world Lepidopterum catalogus of Noctuidae by Poole (1989) is still the major reference for Nolidae species. A huge gap in taxonomic studies occurs for this family regarding the Indian fauna although some of the major works from surrounding countries/regions by Kobes (1987;Sumatra), Nepal), Holloway ( , 2008Holloway ( , 2009Borneo), Kononenko & Pinratana (2013;Thailand), László et al.

Apart from the aforementioned publications, a few but important contributions covering distribution and range extensions of some nolid species within India are Sevastopulo (1938Sevastopulo ( , 1956, Mandal & Maulik (1991), Francy & Mathew (2006), Mathew (2004), Mathew et al.

The present catalogue is the first résumé of the family Nolidae Bruand, 1846 recorded in India comprising 354 species under 98 genera of 6 subfamilies, including four new records to India: Casminola seminigra (Hampson, 1896), Evonima ronkaygabori Han & Hu, 2019, Meganola suffusata (Wileman & West, 1929) and Nola euryzonata (Hampson, 1900). The Indian Nolidae represents 16.2 % of the global species (2,179 species) of Nolidae. The information on the type locality, type depository, sex of the type (wherever available), first reference, synonymy, host plants (wherever available) and distribution within as well as outside India for each of the included species is provided. Some clarifications regarding type locality, type depository along with new distributional records within Indian states are also given with 72 images of adults.
... The family Nolidae (Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea) is one of the quadrifid noctuoid families, with approximately 1,750 described species, in 186 genera belonging to eight subfamilies worldwide: Beaninae, Chloephorinae, Collomeninae, Diphtherinae, Eligminae, Nolinae, Risobinae and Westermanniinae (Nieukerken et al. 2011;Zahiri et al. 2012). Among countries adjacent to Korea, 13 species of Nolinae have been reported from the Russian Far East (Tshistjakov 2008), and 38 species from China (Hua 2005;László et al. 2005László et al. , 2010Shao et al. 2008;Hu et al. 2013;Hu et al. 2014;Han and Hu 2016;Hu et al. 2017). Japan has 53 species (Sasaki 2011). ...
The genus Meganola Dyar, 1898 is reviewed for Korea, with 12 species, including the new species, Meganola parki Oh & Cha, sp. n. Illustrations of adults and genitalia of all the Korean species are provided, with a key to species of Meganola based on the external morphology and male genitalia. All known host plants are provided, some of them newly recorded.
... The species content of the Meganola lineage has been rapidly increased after the basic works of Inoue (1958, 1970, 1991, 1996, 1998, 2001), due to the studies of the authors and the other experts of this field (Hu et al. 2013a, b, 2014, Han & Li 2008, Shao, Li & Han 2009, and Hacker et al. 2012). This last work has an eminent importance due to the designation of the lectotype of M. conspicua, the type species of the genus, and the illustration of its genitalia. ...
Present paper contains the descriptions of four new genera distinguished from the collecting genus Meganola s.l. (Hamp-sonola, Wittonola, Fragilonola and Maculonola gen. n.) and 11 new species (Meganola pseudobasalactifera, Hampsono-la diehli, H. subbasirufa, H. angustifasciata, H. stueningi, H. micra, Wittonola latifasciata, Nanola rothschildi, Fragilonola fragilis, F. parentela and Maculonola dolokmerangirensis spp. n.) from South East Asia. Based on genital morphology the concept of the genus Nanola is extended, involving several species treated earlier as Meganola. Meganola yakovlevi László, Ronkay & Ronkay, 2010 is synonymised with M. tetrodon (de Joannis, 1928), and M. pekarskyi László, Ronkay & Ronkay, 2014 is synonymised with Nanola liaoningensis (Han & Li, 2008), syn. n. 45 new combinations and 2 new stati are established. With 48 colour photos and 42 genitalia figures.
An updated checklist of 91 species under 21 genera of the subfamily Nolinae has been compiled. The detailed information
about distribution within India as well as in other countries, first reference, latest reference, type locality, type depository,
synonymy has been provided for each species. Clarifications regarding type locality, type material and distributional limits
within India are also given.

It contains the records of 127 species occurring in this area, with the descriptions of 16 new genera and 46 new species, numerous new combinations, stati and synonyms. With 11 colour plates and 58 genitalia figures.
The paper contains the analysis of the taxonomic Status of three poorly known species of the genus Meganola DYAR, 1898: Meganola ascripta (HAMPSON, 1894), Meganola cuneifera (WALKER, 1862) and Meganola ruficostata (HAMPSON, 1896), stat. rev. as bona species. Three new species are described: Meganola calligrapha sp. nov. (Thailand), Meganola albiscripta sp. nov. (N-Vietnam) and Meganola latiscripta sp. nov. (SVietnam).
