Notodontidae (more than 500 photos!)

Even more spectacular is Gangarides vittipalpis Walker, 1869
point-see previous photo.
The distribution is already much wider-from the Himalayas to Hainan Island, Sunda Islands.
Highly variable. It has several twin types that differ in color details.

Some on the forum already know my weakness for green butterflies.
And there are quite a few of them among the crested women.

Benbowia camilla Schintlmeister, 1997
North Vietnam.
It is distributed in the Himalayas, southern China and Indochina Peninsula.
See also earlier B. virescens

Somera viridifusca viridifusca Walker, 1855
Male (above) - China, Hainan
Island Female - Northern Vietnam
Distribution-generally similar to the previous species.
Although there was already this butterfly in the form of a female in our gallery, it doesn't hurt to post a full-fledged pair.

There is also a bit of green in this lovely crested
Platychasma flavida Wu & Fang, 2003
China, Sichuan
Note the natural cut-outs of the costal edges of the forewings. A peculiar crested bird from the small subfamily Platychasminae, which recently migrated from the scoops to the crested birds. It is widely distributed, but locally in China.
From the same subfamily in our topic there is also the previously depicted Cyphanta chortochroa, which is completely green.

There is also a bit of green in this lovely crested
bird Platychasma virgo Butler, 1881
China, Sichuan
Note the natural cut-outs of the costal edges of the front wings. A peculiar crested bird from the small subfamily Platychasminae, which recently migrated from the scoops to the crested birds. It is distributed in Japan, Korea, and China.
From the same subfamily in our topic there is also the previously depicted Cyphanta chortochroa, which is completely green.

It is strange what she did in the scoops Very characteristic crested

Shall we continue?"
I have long wanted to present in more or less detail the genus Stauropus Germar, 1812
, which is widely distributed in almost all of Eurasia. The most famous and widespread (from Britain to Japan) is our banal beech crested Stauropus Fagi Linnaeus, 1757. The butterfly is well known for its highly bizarre caterpillar appearance. However, all members of the genus have such caterpillars.
S. fagi fagi, S. fagi persimilis, S. basalis and S. alternus are already represented in our gallery.
Your attention is drawn to a few more types of these cute little tufts.

Stauropus sikkimensis Moore, 1865
China, Sichuan
Species found from the Himalayas to Southern China, in northern Indochina

Stauropus major Van Eecke, 1929
major - Latin for large. The male (pictured) is not impressive in size, but the female is 2 times larger than the male.
China, Hainan
Island Distribution - Northeast and Southern India, Andaman Islands, South China, Indochina, islands of Indonesia and Palawan Island.

Schintlmeister also assigned members of the genus Benbowia Kiriakoff, 1967, to the genus Stauropus. The fact is that their caterpillars are the same as those of Stauropus. This is now a subgenus.
Since I have already shown benbovium separately in previous posts, I will put the 3 species together for comparison.
1 Stauropus (Benbowia) virescens Moore, 1879
Malaysia, North Borneo (distributed in the Himalayas, Southern China, Indochina and Sunda Islands)
2 Stauropus (Benbowia) camilla ssp. Schintlmeister, 1997
China, Sichuan (distributed in the Himalayas, southwestern and Southern China, Hainan Island, Indochina)
3 Stauropus (Benbowia) camilla Schintlmeister, 1997
Vietnam

Based on Schintlmeister's new book, Furcula bicuspis bicuspis is coming out!

My Schintlmeister book is still on the way, but for now I compared the collection with Slovenian bicuspices and yes, it is very similar. Is it really that simple with this crested

I hope my book will arrive soon.
Yes, bicuspis is. There is nothing to guess, it is already up to DV bicuspis
Such a view of this. Far Eastern butterflies, for example, bicuspis were previously called infumata.
They don't look any different

Everyone was convinced. Went to write the label

20.12.2008 20:41, Pavel Morozov

And a picture from me.
Allata laticostalis Hampson, 1900
China, Sichuan. The male
has a pronounced sexual dimorphism at the top. It is distributed in South, East and Southeast Asia.

If we have moved on to pigerines, then here is another Asian species.
The local brushtower, rather similar to our anchorite (hermit)

Clostera fulgurita Walker, 1865
Vietnam.
The male at the top
is widely distributed throughout the Indian subcontinent, in Southern China and Indochina, the islands of Indonesia.

Please help me identify two crested whales from northern Vietnam (Laocai Province). The first one is clearly a female of some Ptilodon,

and the second is a male Stauropus (very similar to Stauropus teikichiana, whose photo was displayed by Morozzz on the forum).

No, there was no such thing! But I got here such a "little thing" :

Caught in northern Vietnam. Do I understand correctly that this is Baradesa gigantea Schintlmeister 1997?

By the way, Herr Schintlmeister has already released his book. Waiting for ' s.

And another representative of
Pygaerinae Rosama auritracta Moore, 1865
Vietnam.
It is distributed in Nepal, India, Indochina and southern China, on the island of Sumatra.
I had to re-shoot the copy slightly at an angle, so that the metallic sheen of the front fender spots was visible.

For those who follow this topic, I would like to inform you that a number of corrections will be made to it. Some things have already been corrected on the previous page, and the rest will be corrected in the near future. (just a book on the crested Palaearctic appeared, so the work increased).
In short, it turns out that the corrections in the topic will be from the very beginning.

In the meantime, Gangaridopsis sinica Yang, a cute crested bird from Southeastern China
(1995
), Jiangxi, China
