Zephyrus 2:175, Tab. 14, fig. 7.

Labels: “ Notocrypta / arisana Sonan / DET. J. SONAN,” “ Formosa / Arisan 1918./ X 2–23 / J. SONAN/ M. YOSHINO,” “ No. 55,” “ Type [in red].”

A male specimen was designated as the [holo] type in the original description (Sonan 1930b), and the holotype was retrieved in TARI (Fig. 10–12). Evans (1949) listed arisana as a synonym of Notocrypta paralysos asawa Fruhstorfer, 1911, and this treatment was followed by Bridges (1983). However, N. paralysos has not been recorded on the main island of Taiwan (Chiba et al. 1992). Shirôzu (1960) considered arisana a melanin form of N. curvifascia . Based on the investigation by Hiroshi Tsukiyama, Morishita (1978) treated it as a subspecies of N. feisthamelii (Boisduval, 1832) . This treatment was followed by subsequent authors (e. g. Yamanaka 1980; Hsu & Li 1989; Chiba et al. 1992), and is accepted by the present study.
