15612C6BFF8ED06BF6ADFC14DAD88B60.taxon	discussion	Remarks: The range of each subspecies of A. cardinalis is confined to a certain archipelago or island that corresponds to the allopatric speciation model (Rothschild, 1910; Dubatolov, 2004; Černý 2011). With respect to this biogeographic pattern, these isolated subspecies may actually represent several divergent species-level lineages but this hypothesis need to be checked in a future on the basis of molecular sequence data.	en	Bolotov, Ivan N., Kondakov, Alexander V., Spitsyn, Vitaly M.

Antennae long, filiform, thinner apically, with two short ciliae on each segment. Abdomen long. Female markings: Head and antennae brown. Labial palpi brown with black end. Thorax dorsally brown. Underside of thorax red-brown. Legs light orange-pink. Tegulae brown. Abdomen dorsally bright rose-red with large, rounded black spots on each tergite, distal end brownish black. The ventral side of the abdomen yellow pink. Forewing light brown, with rows of small, unclear blackish spots in postbasal, postdical and postmarginal areas, and two black spots at the base of the wing. Hindwing bright rose-red, black markings strongly reduced, with rounded stigma spot, one postdiscal spot near the stigma, a row of a few minute postdiscal black dots athwart to the anal margin, and two submarginal marks. Underside of both wings orange-pink, with rows of black postdiscal and submarginal spots. Black discal spot on each wing. Female genitalia: Not examined. Male is unknown. DNA barcoding: Reference COI sequence no. MG 735265. There are no available nearest members in GenBank and BOLD IDS. The new species looks morphologically similar to taxa in the subgenus Praephragmatobia Dubatolov & Kishida, 2010, but it is genetically distant from Spilarctia strigatula group (Fig. 6).	en	Bolotov, Ivan N., Kondakov, Alexander V., Spitsyn, Vitaly M.
