1F1287CCFF99FFEAFF75FC3D4B038864.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species collected recently in Sikkim is supposedly an allopatric sister species of P. gaofengensis Hu, Wang & Han, 2014 (Fig. 3) described from Yunnan, China. Though the external differences between the two species are negligible but P. sikkima, sp. nov. differs significantly from its sister species in certain characters of the male genitalia as follows: the new species has in comparison with those characters of P. gaofengensis (Figs. 12,13) considerably shorter basal part of uncus, much narrower tegumen, significantly thinner harpe erected closer to the ventral margin of valva than in the related species, in addition, somewhat longer sacculus and wider vinculum. The most conspicuous difference between the two species is expressed by the configuration of fultura inferior (juxta): the new species has wider and shorter triangular plate of juxta with significantly longer, but basally much narrower pair of strongly dentate triangular crests projecting ventrally, erecting in the medio-lateral part of the plate of juxta, while those crests of P. gaofengensis are shorter, but running along the whole length of lateral margins of the juxta reaching from its proximal end to its apex. The aedeagus of P. sikkima is longer with somewhat shorter dentation of carinal plate in comparison with that of P. gaofengensis.	en	Joshi, Rahul, Singh, Navneet, László, Gyula M., Kuni, Nikhil (2020): First record of the genus Porcellanola László, Ronkay & Witt, 2006 (Lepidoptera Nolidae, Nolinae) from India with description of a new species.

1F1287CCFF9AFFEAFF75FD694DDE8DCA.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Forewing length: 7 mm. P. sukhothai is closely related to P. thai László, Ronkay & Witt, 2006 both described from North Thailand. In the original description, the authors claim P. sukhothai having less sharply defined and finer crosslines and considerably paler outer third of forewings than those of P. thai. The newly collected fresh specimens from Sikkim however, display almost identical forewing pattern compared to that of P. thai. The reason of this discrepancy might be that the type specimens of P. sukhothai serving as basis of description of the taxon were rather worn, with their darker hair scales partly rubbed off. Having P. thai compared with the fresh specimens of P. sukhothai from Sikkim, the only significant external difference between the two species is expressed by the shape and colour of the medio-costal patch of forewing: that is rather quadrangular and filled by pale brown hair-scales in P. sukhothai, whereas it is elongate-trigonal filled by creamy white hair-scales in P. thai. P. sukhothai is undoubtedly characterized by its male genitalia by having a single, slightly curved harpe and simple quadrangular shield-like fultura inferior (juxta), whereas the harpe of P. thai is bifid with two well developed claw-like processes, in addition the fultura inferior (juxta) of P. thai is widely incised medio-dorsally with a conspicuous, acute ventromedial process. During the recent sampling carried out in Sikkim, female specimens of P. sukhothai have been collected for the first time. The external habitus of the female of P. sukhothai is similar to that of the males, displaying no significant sexual dimorphism, except in the configuration of antennae which are densely ciliate in males, while those of females are filiform with sparse, short ciliation.	en	Joshi, Rahul, Singh, Navneet, László, Gyula M., Kuni, Nikhil (2020): First record of the genus Porcellanola László, Ronkay & Witt, 2006 (Lepidoptera Nolidae, Nolinae) from India with description of a new species.

1F1287CCFF9AFFEAFF75FD694DDE8DCA.taxon	description	Description of the female genitalia (Fig. 18). Ovipositor short, papillae anales narrow, elongate, conical; apophyses posteriors medium-long. Eighth tergite very short; eight sternite relatively large, heavily sclerotized; apophyses anteriores very short, thorn-like. Ostium bursae broad, medium-long, infundibular, heavily sclerotized. Ductus bursae medium-long, membranous; cervix bursae broad, sack-like. Corpus bursae medium large, posteriorly tubular, anteriorly broad-ovoid; Signum bursae absent. The configuration of the female genitalia of P. sukhothai supports the species close relationship to P. thai with the following distinctive features: P. sukhothai has slightly longer apophyses posterior and anterior, considerably longer ductus bursae, more elongated tubular posterior part and somewhat smaller, less elongate anterior part of corpus bursae compared to those of P. thai, in addition P. sukhothai lacks Signum bursae, whereas the related species has a pair of finely scobinate elongate plates on corpus bursae.	en	Joshi, Rahul, Singh, Navneet, László, Gyula M., Kuni, Nikhil (2020): First record of the genus Porcellanola László, Ronkay & Witt, 2006 (Lepidoptera Nolidae, Nolinae) from India with description of a new species.

1F1287CCFF9DFFEEFF75FF604DF48BF4.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Forewing length: 6 mm. P. langtangi described from Central Nepal is very similar externally to P. ayutthaya occurring in North Thailand, the two species are easily distinguishable by their surprisingly substantial differences in genitalia (László et al. 2010). In Sikkim, P. langtangi occurs sympatrically with P. sikkima sp. nov. and P. sukhothai, but is unmistakable for both of them according to its conspicuously different forewing pattern split into a clear whitish basal and dark-colored apical half of forewing compared to the more variegated and complex wing pattern of the latter species. The detailed diagnoses of male and female genitalia of the related species are provided in detail in their original descriptions (László et al. 2010, László et al. 2006).	en	Joshi, Rahul, Singh, Navneet, László, Gyula M., Kuni, Nikhil (2020): First record of the genus Porcellanola László, Ronkay & Witt, 2006 (Lepidoptera Nolidae, Nolinae) from India with description of a new species.
