Widespread in South-East Asia hole, most common in Thailand. The name "kossoides" is obvious because of the wide black-and-white rings on the abdomen.

Well, if you really rushed to the subfamily Dudusinae, then here:
Gangarides rufinus Schintlmeister, 1997
Ю. China, Yunnan.
"Non-banal" view. It is distributed in Southeast Asia in Vietnam, from where it was described, Thailand, Laos and in the very south of China. Very similar to the more common G. dharma (exposed earlier)

The genus Neopheosia Matsumura, 1920 contains only three species that are widely distributed in Asia.
The first, the most famous, also lives in our Far East.
Neopheosia mandschurica (Oberthür, 1911)
male and female, Primorsky Krai, Partizansky and Khasansky districts, Andreevka, respectively.
Caterpillar on an oak tree. The species is distributed in the Amur and Primorye regions, Korea, most of China, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.

And the third view, the most beautiful.

It is distributed most widely - from Pakistan to the Himalayas and throughout Southeast Asia, including the Sunda Islands to Japan and the Philippines. In the Philippines and Sulawesi-subspecies obscura Schintlmeister, 1993.

But that's not all.
A Bhutanese female had eggs (the material was obtained from V. V. Sinyaev, for which I am very grateful)
Eggs in the amount of about 50 pieces were given to 20 caterpillars, which I began to feed with rosehip. They ate, I must say, not bad, willingly.
Just die fast. They did not refuse the offered oak tree either. Unfortunately, not a single imago was obtained, the maximum is the IV age of caterpillars. But this is also good, the caterpillars turned out to be very beautiful.

Further on in the photo collection - N. fasciata caterpillars by age. Pay attention to how the caterpillars of younger ages are located on the leaf along the "line of their nibbles", masquerading as mold, etc.

Twin
species Nerice dispar and Nerice pictibasis
N. dispar (Cai, 1979) is found only in southwestern China and northern Vietnam. I apologize for the" clumsy " copy.
The larger N. pictibasis (Hampson, 1897) is distributed from Pakistan to Yunnan Province and Northern Vietnam, where it flies together with N. dispar
leg.

The genus Cerasana Walker, 1862 (Notodontidae, Dicranurinae) was initially assigned to the dipper family, then moved to the volnyanki, but was finally assigned to the crested family (Gaede, 1930). The genus contains 6 known species distributed in South Asia.
Here is one of them:
Cerasana rubripuncta (de Joannis, 1900)
V. V. Zolotukhin
This species is found in South China, Vietnam, and Northern Thailand. Indeed, looking at the appearance of a butterfly, first of all you can think about its belonging to dippers, and secondly - to volnyankami.

All members of the genus Zaranga. The only crested species I had to attach myself to was the torom, thanks to the amazing capture of a series of new species in the Zeysky Nature Reserve. I thank my colleagues on the trip A. Streltsov, P. Osipov and of course Elena Guskova.
The new species is a twin of the tropical species Z. pannosa, from which the structure of the genitals is very different.
