039687DAFFDBFFEDFF4CF986FBEBF599.taxon	materials_examined	Type species: Thyrgorina spilosomata Walker, [1865] 1864 (by monotypy)	en	Singh, Harsimranjeet, Raha, Angshuman, Kirti, Jagbir Singh, Singh, Navneet (2024): Taxonomic review of the genus Lemyra Walker (Erebidae: Arctiinae) from India. Zootaxa 5454 (1): 1-69, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5454.1.1, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5454.1.1
039687DAFFDBFFEDFF4CF986FBEBF599.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Members of Lemyra look like Spilosoma or Spilarctia, but have small sized adults with weaker bodies, and comparatively shorter abdomen. In the male genitalia of Lemyra, the valva is simple, nearly cylindrical, with a subapical or medial process (though absent in a few species) and in most of the species, vesica bears one or two prominent fields of small spines, whereas in the male genitalia of Spilosoma, valva is bilobed; vesica is bigger, globular or more elongate, frequently with small lateral lobes having zones of scobination and clusters of cornuti and in Spilarctia, valva bears several processes and vesica bears small patches of spines. Descriptive account. Majorly, the adults have white or yellowish white to yellow or reddish yellow wings with highly variable patterns of black maculation. Forewing fasciae are usually made up of small, grey brown to dark brown spots which can be intense to form broad bands, or sometimes, rudimentary in a few white species. There is only one Indian species of Lemyra with a black forewing costa, i. e., L. spilosomata Walker [1865]. In most of the species, the hindwing has tornal spots or bands and the discal and submarginal spots vary considerably between as well as within species. The abdomen is white, yellow or red with typical Arctiinae pattern of dorsal and lateral black spots. Male antennae are black and bipectinate, while females have simple and ciliate antennae. Labial palpi are usually black, with a red base in some species. Apart from a prominent white or yellowish tinge to the patagia edges in some species, the thorax is usually unmarked. In most of the species, tegulae are white, yellow or red. The underside of the thorax is usually coloured black, less brown, yellow, or red. Legs are mostly black or yellow, while sometimes, with a red or black femur on the first pair of legs. Hindleg tibia with two pairs of spurs (grouped in subgenus Thyrgorina), whereas, a few species have single pair of tibial spurs on the hindleg (grouped in nominotypical subgenus Lemyra). The male genitalia of Lemyra are characterized by somewhat triangular uncus, reaching well beyond the valva; a narrow vinculum-tegumen complex; the valva is nearly cylindrical that, in most species, possesses a short inner process situated subapically or medially. Juxta is broad, plate-like and domed. Aedeagus vesica generally bears one or two fields of short spines. Female genitalia have a small corpus bursa with a sclerotized base that is connected to sclerotized ductus bursae. Species account Lemyra is a hyper diverse and one of the largest genera of Arctiini (Arctiinae), comprising 117 species from the world with 48 from India. We investigated morphology and genitalia characters of more than 350 specimens of Lemyra and identified a total of 42 species in subgenus Thyrgorina from India including seven new species: Lemyra (T.) rubripecta sp. nov., L. (T.) densimacula sp. nov., L. (T.) fortiorspina sp. nov., L. (T.) apatani sp. nov., L. (T.) adunca sp. nov., L. (T.) obsoleta sp. nov. and L. (T.) pinus sp. nov. Seven synonyms are proposed herein: L. (T.) punctilinea (Moore, 1879), syn. nov. under L. (T.) flavalis (Moore, 1865), L. (T.) magnaproteus N. Singh & Kirti, 2016, syn. nov. under L. (T.) proteus (De Joannis, 1928), Thanatarctia costalis Kaleka, 2012, syn. nov., Thanatarctia collarlis Kaleka, 2012, syn. nov., L. (T.) collarlis N. Singh, Kirti & Kaleka, 2016, syn. nov. (objective synonym of T. collarlis Kaleka, 2012), L. (T.) pseudocollarlis N. Singh, Kirti & Kaleka, 2016, syn. nov. under L. (T.) nigrescens (Rothschild, 1910) and L. (T.) angularis (Strand, 1919) under L. (T.) spilosomata (Walker, [1865]). Lemyra (T.) aurantiaca (Fang, 1985), stat. rev., a new record for India, is upgraded to species level. Additionally, two species i. e., L. (T.) kaikarisi Saldaitis et al., 2019 and L. (T.) persephone Saldaitis et al., 2020 are reported for the first time from India. Herein, we divide the genus into five species groups. Thomas (1990) grouped the genus Lemyra based on external maculation, however, due to close similarity among various species and the simultaneous existence of multiple variants, it is difficult to follow the species groups based on colouration and wing maculation. So, we attempted to group the Indian species into five broad categories based on the attributes of aedeagus vesica of the male genitalia: Group A: vesica with a lateral spined plate only, no patch / field of spines Group B: vesica with a lateral spined plate and a single patch of spines Group C: vesica with a single patch of spines (lateral spined plate absent) Group D: vesica with two patches of spines (lateral spined plate absent) Group E: vesica with lateral spined plate and two patches of spines We could not assign four Indian species, L. (T.) melanochroa (Hampson, 1918), L. (T.) neurica (Hampson, 1911), L. (T.) pilosa (Rothschild, 1910) and L. (T.) venosa (Moore, 1879) in any of the above groups as we do not have their specimens and their genitalia are not yet published anywhere.

039687DAFFD9FFE3FF4CFDFEFC01F4DC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Forewing length: ♂ 19 mm. Externally, L. (T.) neglecta (Figs 1 – 3) and nearly thirteen other species in Lemyra have the ground colour of wings whitish with indistinct maculation and abdomen yellowish or reddish in common and thus, are better defined based on external genitalia. Among the species of first group, L. (T.) neglecta is closely similar to L. (T.) melli (Daniel, 1943), but is distinguished by a yellow abdomen (reddish in L. (T.) melli) and in male genitalia, valva is longer, subapical process and apical portion of valva prominent whereas, in L. (T.) melli subapical process and apical portion of valva are reduced (Thomas 1990: 72, Figs 36, 37). In external appearance, L. (T.) neglecta (Figs 1 – 3) is closely similar to two more species distributed in India, L. (T.) nigrifrons (Walker, 1865) (Figs 59, 60) and L. (T.) melanosoma (Hampson, 1894) (Figs 70, 71). Among the three, L. (T.) nigrifrons is easier to separate on the basis of its bright yellow tegulae and the ventral side of the abdomen blackish. Lemyra (T.) neglecta and L. (T.) melanosoma are almost indistinguishable externally, but are clearly distinguishable by the male genitalia. In Lemyra (T.) neglecta (Figs 95, 97) uncus is somewhat triangular with a broad base and a gradually tapering apex (in L. (T.) melanosoma (Fig. 171) uncus has a broad, bowl like basal half which abruptly terminates into an acute, pointed apex), valva is shorter and less robust with shorter and more pointed subapical process situated nearer to the apex; aedeagus (Figs 96, 98) vesica with a strong, lateral, spined plate and devoid of any spinous patch (whereas in L. (T.) melanosoma (Fig. 172), vesica has a distal large patch of moderate to long spines and lateral spined plate is absent).	en	Singh, Harsimranjeet, Raha, Angshuman, Kirti, Jagbir Singh, Singh, Navneet (2024): Taxonomic review of the genus Lemyra Walker (Erebidae: Arctiinae) from India.

039687DAFFD7FFE2FF4CFB4AFB85F5C0.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Forewing length: ♂ 14 mm, ♀ 19 mm. Externally, L. (T.) biseriata (Figs 7 – 9) is closely similar to L. (T.) bimaculata (Moore, 1879) (Figs 26 – 29), but is distinct by a pale orange red suffusion of wings which is more intense on hindwing, more loosely arranged marginal series of black spots on hindwing and absence of a distinct costal black spot at the basal region of forewing. However, all of these characters are highly variable and thus, both the species are best diagnosed through male genitalia features. In male genitalia, L. (T.) biseriata (Figs 101, 102) is distinct by the valva having more acute apex and vesica with a thin, sclerotized lateral spined plate of minute spines along with a patch of spines, whereas in L. (T.) bimaculata (Figs 124, 126, 128, 130), vesica bears a large patch of dense spines and the lateral spined plate is absent. Lemyra (T.) eximia (Figs 34, 35) also resembles L. (T.) biseriata in external appearance except for thicker maculation on forewing and in hindwing, thicker and larger series of marginal spots. Whereas in L. (T.) biseriata (Figs 7 – 9), maculation of forewing is thinner and hindwing has two tornal spots. In male genitalia of L. eximia, vesica bears a narrow, distal patch of hair like spines and the lateral spined plate is absent (Fig. 138) whereas in L. (T.) biseriata (Fig. 102), the lateral spined plate is recurved, somewhat forming a thumb like process at the apex of aedeagus.	en	Singh, Harsimranjeet, Raha, Angshuman, Kirti, Jagbir Singh, Singh, Navneet (2024): Taxonomic review of the genus Lemyra Walker (Erebidae: Arctiinae) from India.

039687DAFFD6FFE0FF4CFAC7FEAAF07C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Forewing length: ♂ 21 mm. Lemyra (T.) flavalis (Figs 12 – 17) is a variable species having a form with yellowish forewing and white hindwing (S. lativitta, Figs 12, 14) and another with reddish yellow forewing and reddish tinged hindwing (S. rubitincta, Fig. 17). Lemyra (T.) flavalis was studied as a member of L. jankowskiiflavalis species group (s. str. Saldaitis et al. 2018), comprising seven species. Of which, L. (T.) flavalis is most closely similar to L. (T.) heringi (Daniel, 1943) (Saldaitis et al. 2018, Figs 7, 16) from China due to the presence of a lateral spined plate and a patch of spines, whereas, the lateral spined plate is absent in other species i. e., L. (T.) jankowskii jankowskii (Oberthür, 1880) (Saldaitis et al. 2018, Figs 3, 14), L. (T.) jankowskii soror (Leech, 1899) (Saldaitis et al. 2018, Figs 4 – 6, 15), L. (T.) hanoica (Daniel, 1953) (Saldaitis et al. 2018, Figs 10, 19) and L. (T.) elena Saldaitis, Volynkin & Duda, 2018 (Saldaitis et al. 2018, Figs 1, 2, 11 – 13). Lemyra (T.) heringi is clearly distinct by smaller size, paler forewing with less pointed apex, complete postmedial maculate band touching costa of apex and a series of small submarginal spots. In male genitalia, L. (T.) flavalis (Figs 105 – 114) is distinct by the vesica having a typical arcuate, strong, sclerotized lateral spined plate of minute spines. While in L. (T.) heringi, the lateral spined plate is straighter and vesica has a larger distal patch of dense, minute spines.	en	Singh, Harsimranjeet, Raha, Angshuman, Kirti, Jagbir Singh, Singh, Navneet (2024): Taxonomic review of the genus Lemyra Walker (Erebidae: Arctiinae) from India.

039687DAFFD6FFE0FF4CFAC7FEAAF07C.taxon	discussion	Remarks: Herein, we synonymise L. (T.) punctilinea (Moore, 1879) (Figs 111, 112) with L. (T.) flavalis (Figs 105 – 110, 113, 114) as the male genitalia of both the species did not reveal any significant species level difference. During the study, we found another, pure white specimen from the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand with male genitalia identical to L. (T.) flavalis. In India, L. (T.) flavalis is known from the Central Himalaya (Sikkim and Darjeeling) up to an altitude of 2200 m and thus, its present reports from the East and Northwest Himalaya expand its known range both geographically and altitudinally. The species is found to inhabit West Himalayan subalpine birch / fir forest in West Himalaya and East Himalayan subalpine birch / fir forest in East Himalaya at an altitude range of 498 – 3660 m.	en	Singh, Harsimranjeet, Raha, Angshuman, Kirti, Jagbir Singh, Singh, Navneet (2024): Taxonomic review of the genus Lemyra Walker (Erebidae: Arctiinae) from India.

039687DAFFD4FFE7FF4CFBBEFAF5F5BC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Forewing Length: ♂ 18 mm, ♀ 23 mm. Externally, L. (T.) obliquivitta (Figs 18, 19) is reminiscent of L. (T.) flavalis (Figs 12 – 17) (particularly of its synonym I. punctilinea) in having blackish, maculate transverse band on yellowish white forewing but in former, the band is narrower and somewhat complete from apex to the middle of inner margin. In L. (T.) flavalis, the forewing is buff yellow (yellowish white in I. punctilinea), often with a reddish tinge, having greyish and thicker maculate transverse band which is rarely complete and ending much before the apex. In L. (T.) obliquivitta, the abdomen is yellow with dorsal black spots which is red or orange red with dorsal black spots in L. (T.) flavalis. In male genitalia, L. (T.) obliquivitta (Figs 115, 116) is clearly distinct from L. (T.) flavalis (Figs 105 – 114) by the truncate valva, without any subapical process and the straight aedeagus, while in the latter, the valva is complete with a small subapical process and the aedeagus is distinctly curved. Lemyra (T.) rubidorsa (Moore, 1865) (Figs 117, 118), although dissimilar externally by pure white wings and red abdomen, is closely similar to L. (T.) obliquivitta by the male genitalia having truncate valva, without any process and straight aedeagus with vesica having a lateral spined plate and a large, distal patch of spines. However, both the species are distinct by the shorter and blunt uncus, shorter valva and thinner aedeagus in L. (T.) obliquivitta (Figs 115, 116).	en	Singh, Harsimranjeet, Raha, Angshuman, Kirti, Jagbir Singh, Singh, Navneet (2024): Taxonomic review of the genus Lemyra Walker (Erebidae: Arctiinae) from India.

(T.) spilosomata, L. (T.) multivittata, L. (T.) pseudoburmanica and the three new species described herein share in common the whitish ground colour and a single patch of spines on vesica. Externally, Lemyra (T.) rhodophila (Figs 51, 52) is reminiscent of an unrelated species, L. (T.) rubidorsa (Figs 21, 22), but is distinct due to presences of dorsal black spots on each abdominal segment, whereas, in L. (T.) rubidorsa, abdomen is without any spot. In male genitalia, L. (T.) rhodophila is distinct from its closely similar species (mentioned above) by smaller size of spines in the distal patch of vesica.	en	Singh, Harsimranjeet, Raha, Angshuman, Kirti, Jagbir Singh, Singh, Navneet (2024): Taxonomic review of the genus Lemyra Walker (Erebidae: Arctiinae) from India.

039687DAFFC8FFFCFF4CFD52FAB2F204.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Forewing length: ♂ 18 mm. Externally, L. (T.) nigrifrons (Figs 59, 60) resembles L. (T.) neglecta (Figs 1 – 3), L. (T.) melanosoma (Figs 70, 71) and L. (T.) khasiana (Figs 85, 86). The differences between L. (T.) nigrifrons, L. (T.) neglecta and L. (T.) melanosoma have already been discussed under the latter two species. Furthermore, L. (T.) nigrifrons is distinct from L. (T.) khasiana by the black colour of the area surrounding the palpi and first pair of legs (ochreous in L. (T.) khasiana) and the abdomen with an extensive black colouration laterally and a narrow white strip ventrally. In male genitalia, L. (T.) nigrifrons (Figs 161, 162) is clearly distinct from L. (T.) khasiana (Figs 191, 192) by the thicker and stouter aedeagus with carinal thorns and vesica with a single distal patch of strong spines (in L. (T.) khasiana, aedeagus is devoid of any carinal thorn and vesica is having two distal, longitudinal patches of short spines). Another recently described species, L. (T.) kaikarisi (Figs 61, 62) Saldaitis, Volynkin & Duda, 2019 distributed in China and Myanmar, is also closely similar to L. (T.) nigrifrons, but can be differentiated by its slightly larger size, ochreous orange tegulae (in L. (T.) nigrifrons, it is bright yellow) and absence of a discal spot on hindwing. In male genitalia, L. (T.) kaikarisi (Figs 163, 164) is although quite similar to that of L. (T.) nigrifrons (Figs 161, 162) but the former can be distinguished from the latter by the broader uncus, stouter aedeagus with larger carinal thorns and vesica having distinctly larger basal diverticulum.	en	Singh, Harsimranjeet, Raha, Angshuman, Kirti, Jagbir Singh, Singh, Navneet (2024): Taxonomic review of the genus Lemyra Walker (Erebidae: Arctiinae) from India.

(T.) costimacula only oblique postmedial series of spots is present). In male genitalia, L. (T.) multivittata (Figs 167, 168) is distinct from L. (T.) costimacula (Fang 2000: 382, Fig. 268) by a longer and narrower uncus and longer terminal section of the valva. Another closely similar species to L. (T.) multivittata (Figs 65, 66) is L. (T.) sordidescens (Hampson, 1901) (Figs 93, 94), but the latter is distinct by abdomen crimson above (which is yellowish or orange yellow in L. (T.) multivittata) and forewing suffused with pale yellowish brown with blur markings whereas in L. (T.) multivittata, ground colour is creamish white and markings are clearer. In male genitalia, L.

039687DAFFC5FFF0FF4CF8D7FAE1F07C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Forewing length: ♂ 16 mm. Lemyra (T.) melanosoma (Figs 70, 71) is externally similar to an unrelated species L. (T.) neglecta (Figs 1 – 3) and is better diagnosed by the male genitalia. However, L. (T.) melanosoma can be externally sorted out from L. (T.) neglecta by the brownish antennae, the orange yellow colour of the shoulders, the area below eyes and palpi is extending till the first pair of legs and the wings are often immaculate (pectus of L. (T.) neglecta is generally white or may be suffused with fuscous). In male genitalia, L. (T.) melanosoma (Figs 171, 172) is unique by the angular uncus (uncus has a broad, bowl like basal half which abruptly terminates into an acute, pointed apex) and vesica with a distal large patch of moderate to long spines devoid of lateral spined plate. Whereas, in L. (T.) neglecta (Figs 95, 96), uncus is somewhat triangular with broad base and gradually tapering apex and vesica with a strong lateral spined plate of teeth like spines and devoid of any spinous patch.	en	Singh, Harsimranjeet, Raha, Angshuman, Kirti, Jagbir Singh, Singh, Navneet (2024): Taxonomic review of the genus Lemyra Walker (Erebidae: Arctiinae) from India.

039687DAFFC0FFCBFF4CFB36FBF6F651.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Forewing length: ♂ 23 mm. Diagnosis provided under L. (T.) s. stigmata. Taxonomic note: Dubatolov (2010) considered Spilarctia stigmata aurantiaca Fang, 1985 as a subspecies of L. (T.) stigmata due to its yellow abdomen and thicker markings on forewings, particularly the basal stroke in the cell which extends from wing base to the discal vein. Whereas, the nominotypical subspecies is slightly smaller with orange red abdomen, lighter wing maculation and less distinct basal stroke on forewing. Later, Kishida (2022) treated L. (T.) s. aurantiaca as a junior synonym of L. (T.) stigmata, as the type locality of L. (T.) s. aurantiaca is doubtful and the individuals from India, Nepal and China did not show considerable variations in wing maculation. Herein, we studied L. (T.) s. aurantiaca discussed by Dubatolov (2010), apart from the typical L. (T.) s. stigmata as illustrated by Kishida (2022). In addition to the differences discussed by Dubatolov (2010), L. (T.) s. aurantiaca (Fig. 83) has fine ochreous yellow collar which is absent in L. (T.) s. stigmata (Fig. 81). Moreover, the male genitalia of L. (T.) s. aurantiaca (Figs 189, 190) and the genitalia drawing of L. (T.) s. aurantiaca provided by Fang (2000: 400, Fig. 283) are different from that of L. (T.) s. stigmata (Figs 187, 188) by the subapical process of valva being more blunt and situated nearer to the apex. As several individuals from these two populations were collected from adjacent areas in Arunachal Pradesh having more or less similar habitats and topographies, we consider both the taxa as separate species and therefore, revive and upgrade the status of L. (T.) s. aurantiaca as L. (T.) aurantiaca (Fang, 1985), stat. rev. Externally, L. (T.) aurantiaca looks quite similar to L. (T.) s. bucseki (Kishida 2022: 165, Fig. 1), except for its yellow abdomen and fine ochreous yellow collar (in L. (T.) s. bucseki abdomen is reddish orange and the head, thorax and collar are yellowish white). In the male genitalia, L. (T.) aurantiaca (Figs 189, 190) differs clearly by more blunt and thicker inner valva process.	en	Singh, Harsimranjeet, Raha, Angshuman, Kirti, Jagbir Singh, Singh, Navneet (2024): Taxonomic review of the genus Lemyra Walker (Erebidae: Arctiinae) from India.
