Remarks. Miltochrista irregularis Rothschild, 1913 , was synonymized with M. pudibunda (Snellen) by Volynkin et al. (2021). Previously, this species was reported from Laos (Huaphanh and Khammouane provinces) by Bucsek (2020), as M. irregularis . Here, we report it from the Bolikhamsai and Champasak provinces for the first time.
