BB72F3707537BC7AB4C50FD1E582FC70.taxon	materials_examined	Type material examined. Neotype (Figs. 5, 19), designated herein for Miltochrista gratiosa f. obsoleta Reich, 1937: ♂, whitish printed label " West Tien-mu-shan, Prov. Chekiang [Zhejiang], 29. V. 1932, H. Höne " / dark pink handwritten label " ♂ Type Mil. [ochrista] gratiosa ssp. obsoleta Reich I. Gen. " / greyish printed label with a sign " ♂ ", slide AV 1834 m Volynkin (Coll. ZFMK). Other material examined: 13 ♂, 1 ♀, [China, Zhejiang] West Tien-mu-shan, Prov. Chekiang, H. Höne, 9. V., 15. V., 16. V., 24. V., 25. V., 26. V., 29. V., 2. VI., 4. VI., 9. VI. 1932, slide AV 1835 f Volynkin (♀) (Coll. ZFMK); 3 ♂, 1 ♀, [China, Zhejiang] Ost Tien-mu-shan, Prov. Chekiang, H. Höne, 7. V., 2. VI., 11. vi., 13. VI. 1931 (Coll. ZFMK); 1 ♀, [China, Zhejiang] Mokanshan, Prov. Chekiang, H. Höne, 9. V. [19] 19 (Coll. ZFMK); 1 ♀, [China, Zhejiang] Ost Tien-mu-shan, Prov. Chekiang, Höne, 18. VI. 1931 (Coll. ZFMK); 1 ♀, [China, Zhejiang] Ost Tien-mu-shan, Prov. Chekiang, H. Höne, 1. VI. 1931 (Coll. ZFMK); 2 ♂, [China, Zhejiang] West Tien-Mu-Shan (1600 m), Pz. Chekiang, H. Höne, 2. VI., 6. VI. 1932 (Coll. ZFMK). Note. One male specimen in coll. ZFMK from West Tien-mu-shan, 29. V. 1932 (Fig. 5) is labelled as a " Type ", and series of both sexes from the same locality and " Ost Tien-mu-shan " are labeled as " paratypes ". Nevertheless, in the original description, Reich (1937) mentioned only one female specimen with the label " West Tien-mu-shan, 10. VI. " which must be treated as holotype by monotypy. Thus, the " type " male is not a type in fact, as well as all other " paratype " specimens because there are no any specimens in ZFMK collection from West Tien-mu-shan with a date 10. VI. Daniel (1951) mentioned the existence of this specimen in materials examined by Reich, but without any mention of collection. In ZFMK collection there is a female specimen with a label handwritten by F. Daniel " Reich hat nach diesem Stück ssp. obsoleta beschrieben. Es stellt die ♀ - Type der gen. vern. clar ", but this specimen has the date 4. VI. 1932, and therefore cannot be the holotype. In addition, there is no specimen of B. obsoleta having the label mentioned in Zoological Museum of Tel-Aviv University (TAU, Israel) where the Reich's collection is deposited at present (V. D. Kravchenko, pers. comm.), as well as in the collection of Naturkunde Museum (NKMB, Berlin, Germany) where some specimens from the Reich's collection are also deposited (W. Mey, pers. comm.), therefore we can conclude that the holotype is lost. At the same time, many Barsine species have similar external appearance, and to avoid probable confusion and for the nomenclature stabilization the neotype designation is necessary. As the neotype we designate the male specimen in ZFMK collection labeled as " Type " (Figs. 5, 19).	en	Volynkin, Anton V., Černý, Karel (2017): A review of the Barsine obsoleta species-group with description of a new species from Vietnam (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae).

Externally (Figs. 5 – 6), the species differs clearly from two other relatives (Figs. 7 – 12) by its pale yellow ground color and significantly reduced blackish pattern elements. The male genitalia (Fig. 19) is closer to that of B. callorufa (Figs. 20 – 21), but the uncus is broader, the valvae is slightly broader, the medial costal process is longer, the basal saccular process is narrower distally, the 1 st medial diverticulum with weaker scobination, the main lobe of the 2 nd medial diverticulum is smaller and covered with much weaker cornuti, the 5 th medial diverticulum is smaller, and the 3 rd medial diverticulum is slightly longer. The female genitalia (Fig. 27) differ from B. callorufa (Fig. 28), by the much more rugose antrum, and the somewhat longer and posteriorly narrower ductus bursae. Differences from B. fossi are listed in the diagnosis of the latter.	en	Volynkin, Anton V., Černý, Karel (2017): A review of the Barsine obsoleta species-group with description of a new species from Vietnam (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae).

BB72F3707533BC79B4C50ACEE79EFD25.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. In the original description (Wu et al. 2013), the species was compared only with B. sauteri belonging to another species group. Externally, B. callorufa (Figs. 7 – 8) differs clearly from both relative species B. fossi (Figs. 9 – 12) and B. obsoleta (Figs. 5, 6) by the wing coloration and pattern. The male genitalia of B. callorufa (Figs. 20, 21) is closer to that of B. obsoleta (Fig. 19), but the uncus is narrower, the valva is slightly narrower, the medial costal process is shorter, the basal saccular process is distally broader, the scobination in the 1 st medial diverticulum is stronger, the main lobe of the 2 nd medial diverticulum is larger and covered with stronger cornuti, the 5 th medial diverticulum is larger, and the 3 rd medial diverticulum is slightly shorter. The female genitalia (Fig. 28) differ from B. obsoleta (Fig. 27) by the less rugose antrum and the slightly shorter and posteriorly broader ductus bursae.

BB72F3707530BC74B4C50A7AE55AFD18.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species (Figs. 9 – 12) can be easily separated from both relatives (Figs. 5 – 8) by its smaller size in males and bright yellow forewing ground color, with sharp red and black pattern elements in both sexes (unlike both relatives, in B. fossi sp. nov. the sexual dimorphism is expressed only in size and forewing width differences and not in pattern or wing coloration). By the wing pattern and coloration, the new species resembles also some representatives of other species groups, viz., B. gratiosa (Guérin-Méneville, 1843) (Figs. 13 – 14, 24, 32), B. mactans Butler, 1877 (Figs. 15, 25, 31) and B. perlucidula Buscek, 2012 (Figs. 16, 26), but differs clearly from them by the male and female genitalia structure. Externally, B. fossi sp. nov. (Figs. 9 – 12) differs from B. gratiosa (Figs. 13 – 14) by the smaller black dots on veins inside crosslines, broader and darker red spot pattern elements of forewing, longer black strokes between veins in the submarginal area, and pale red hindwings; from B. mactans (Fig. 15) differs by the much more contrast pattern, crosslines yellow with black dots on veins, sharp and longer black strokes between veins in the submarginal area, and pale red hindwings; from B. perlucidula (Fig. 16) differs by the more contrast pattern, larger red spot pattern elements of forewing, smaller black dots on veins inside crosslines, and longer black strokes between veins in the submarginal area. The male genitalia (Fig. 22) differ from both B. obsoleta (Fig. 19) and B. callorufa (Figs. 20 – 21) by the much larger and broader medial costal process, the distally broader valva, the narrower apical lobe of valva, the weaker basal saccular process, the longer and narrower distal saccular process which is stronger separated from the apical lobe of valva, the larger aedeagus, the narrower and strongly curved 1 st medial diverticulum, the much larger main lobe of the 2 nd medial diverticulum, distally broader 3 rd medial diverticulum, and presence of a 4 th medial diverticulum (absent in B. obsoleta and B. callorufa). The female genitalia of B. fossi (Fig. 29) differ from both B. obsoleta (Fig. 27) and B. callorufa (Fig. 28) by the ductus bursae much broader posteriorly, the broader corpus bursae, the longer appendix bursae, and presence of an additional anterior signum in the corpus bursae.	en	Volynkin, Anton V., Černý, Karel (2017): A review of the Barsine obsoleta species-group with description of a new species from Vietnam (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae).
