... could also represent the new species, but the male genitalia for correct identification were not illustrated.

The species Iragoides dudai sp. nov. from China (Sichuan), Euphlyctina butvilai sp. nov. from China (Zhejiang and Yunnan), Sansarea alenae sp. nov. from China (Yunnan), Narosoideus witti sp. nov. from China (Sichuan, Yunnan, Shaanxi, and Jiangxi), Griseothosea mousta sp. nov. from China (Yunnan), Thailand (Chiang Mai, Nan and Chiang Dao), and Laos (Luang Namtha and Luang Prabang) are described as new to science. The taxonomical status of dark and pale forms of Iragoides crispa (Swinhoe, 1890) is discussed.
... The Korean species of Limacodidae were first recorded by Fixsen (1887). Since then, they were studied, based on piecemeal records in the faunistic works by foreign researchers (Leech 1889(Leech , 1899Kawada 1930;Matsumura 1931;Bryk 1948). ...
Three species of Limacodidae, Ceratonema butleri Kawada, 1930, Microleon decolatus Sasaki, 2016, and Isopenthocrates japona Yoshimoto, 2004, are recorded for the first time from Korea. Photos of external and genital features are provided for the three species. © 2018 National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA)
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 morphology of female genital armature of seven species of the genus Mellicta belonging to the M. athalia species-group from different localities of their ranges is analyzed. The main distinctive features are described and their variability and use for species identification are assessed. It is shown that some characteristics of female genitalia can be used to clarify the systematic position of species within the genus. Keys to species of the athalia group based on female genitalia are given.
The intraspecific structure of Mellicta ambigua (Ménétriés, 1859) is revised and the ranges of its subspecies are specified. Mellicta ambigua kurmaevi ssp. n. from northern Yakutia is described and the lectotype of M. ambigua ambigua is designated. Contentious issues related to the identification of typical localities and authorship of the taxon kenteana (Staudinger, 1897) are resolved.
A total of three tribes, 38 genera and 148 species of Thyatirinae from China are listed together with one dubious record. Of these, one new species, Stenopsestis bruna sp. nov., is described. Macrothyatira danieli Werny, 1966, stat. rev., is restored to specific rank. Cymatophora subampliata Houlbert, 1921, is downgraded to subspecific rank as Tethea (Tethea) albicostata subampliata (Houlbert, 1921), stat. nov. Two genera, four species and three subspecies are recorded for the first time from China (Chiropsestis Laszlo, Ronkay & Ronkay, 2001, Hiroshia Laszlo, Ronkay & Ronkay, 2001, Chiropsestis rubrocinerea Laszlo, Ronkay & Ronkay, 2001, Hiroshia albinigra Laszlo, Ronkay & Ronkay, 2001, Parapsestis hausmanni Laszlo, Ronkay, Ronkay & Witt, 2007, Spica luteola Swinhoe, 1889, Parapsestis cinerea pacifica Laszlo, Ronkay, Ronkay & Witt, 2007, Tethea (Saronaga) consimilis aurisigna Bryk, 1943, Nothoploca nigripunctata fansipana Laszlo, Ronkay & Ronkay, 2001). Ten misidentifications in Zhao (2004) are corrected. Illustrations of external features and genitalia of the new taxa and new records are presented.
Currently, DNA barcodes are often required to be analyzed using old museumspecimens when they are the only available specimens for rare or endangered species, or even type series. In this study, using eight universal primers and newly designed 315 species-specific primers, we tried to recover full-length barcode sequences from 45 dried specimens of 36 butterfly species collected between 1959 and 1980 in Korea. The eight universal primers failed entirely in the PCRamplification and sequencing of all the specimens. On the other hand, 284 primer pairs consisting of the 315 primers, targeting fragments of 71–417 bp, amplified various lengths of barcode sequences from all specimens. The fragments were successfully combined to generate the barcode sequences ranging from 444 bp to 658 bp. Notably, of the 284 primer pairs, 26 primer pairs designed for Limenitis camilla, Argynnis niobe, andBrenthis daphne successfully amplified the barcode sequences of congeneric species, Limenitis doerriesi, Argynnis nerippe, and Brenthis ino, suggesting that the species-specific primers can be available for analyzing barcode sequences of closely related species. Our study reveals that the newly designed speciesspecific primers will be effective in acquiring COI sequences from old butterfly specimens.
