Notodontidae (more than 500 photos!)

Well, it is worth mentioning the genus Paracyphanta Sugi, 1994, whose representatives are also piercingly green, but the smallest in the subfamily.
In Asia, on the mainland, Paracyphanta kurokoi Sugi, 1994 is known from several places scattered from the north of Thailand to the south of Malaysia
. Unfortunately, I will present only a scan from "Moths of Thailand vol. 5 Notodontidae" A. Schintlmeister, 2007.
Another couple of species live on the islands of Indonesia and the Philippines.

A small selection of crested women who are ready to show off the green color.

To begin with, two similar species of the genus Oxoia.
Oxoia smaragdiplena Walker, 1862-Common butterfly, widely distributed in Southeast Asia from Northern India to Indonesia and the Philippines. Missing in Vietnam and South China. This specimen is from Cambodia.

Oxoia viridipicta Kiriakoff, 1974 is a
more rare butterfly, distributed from Northern India to Vietnam.

And yet... I will ask directly: do the respected experts on this topic Cajarc and Morozzz have any doubts about the"aeruginosa" above? In theory, there should be mimonovi on the Syr Darya. Perhaps this is its spring generation, characterized in particular by the integrity of the discal sling?..
And I have another furcula from the middle reaches of the Emba River.
Her sling is just torn, but the butterfly looks like it's from a different group, without the orange one... Are there any suggestions about it? I get lost myself...

I am trying to show at least some of the Furcula butterflies from the territory of the former USSR.
First, the Siberian Furcula furcula altaica. I specially took 2 males with different patterns.
All butterflies of Altai Aktash end of June 1992-paratypes

After reading this post, I realized that I also have a similar butterfly, standing only up to the genus. What is furcula altaica? I ask specialists to confirm, otherwise doubts are gnawing at me. Altai, Bannoe village, na svet, 15.06.2009

I don't understand this group of Furcula very well, and I don't have much material , but I consider F. mimonovi to be lower than the butterflies shown. A female from Kazakhstan, Syr-Darya. Male from Tajikistan.

Standard series with ocd. Aktasha, Kurai region, mercury mine. Butterflies are very variable in color. It would be better to degrease your copy so that it can be seen better. Where is the village of Bannoe ?

The village of Bannoye is located in the south-west of Altai in the Ust-Koksinsky district on the border with Kazakhstan near the Kholzun ridge. Degrease not once tried, but if you can tell me how, I'll try

Development of Clostera pigra.
In May, I collected a female, from which I received several eggs. After 10 days, caterpillars appeared, which were equally willing to eat narrow-leaved, goat and eared willow. At the first three instars, the caterpillars entwined a web around a leaf and "rolled it up into a tube." We lived in such houses.
Pupation took place in a light white cocoon inside a rolled-up leaf of a forage plant. The pupal stage is about 12 days old.
In total, no more than 45-50 days passed from the moment of egg laying to the appearance of the adult.

Peridea elzet Kiriakoff, 1963
A remarkable butterfly. It is widespread but rare in Central and Eastern China, Korea, Japan, Khabarovsk and Primorsky Krai. We know it from a few isolated finds.
This specimen is from Nakhimovka, Primorsky Krai, collected by Vladimir Vasilenko (KAZAKH). Volodya, dear! I owe you one!"

I compared your Elzeth to my peridae. I didn't understand anything. Yes, and in relation to the baldric / denticle, too, the differences are very vague

First, "eltset"
Secondly, if it is not very clear, click your all and post here

For everyone and once again for Sergey :
I can say that the chaotic
wavy pattern, broken, somewhat resembling the letters l and Z, does not go beyond the serrated process of the rear edge of the wing (indicated by the green arrow). In other more or less similar Peridea, this wavy line goes beyond the prong. By the way, this is how Cajarc explained it to me, in my opinion, very easily.

Here, for comparison, are Far Eastern crested birds of the genus Peridea. All these types have already appeared on the forum, so I won't post each one separately yet (well, if only "at the request of regular visitors" )
We should probably tell you about them briefly.
Top row, from left to right:

P. jankowskii Oberthur, 1879-local and quite rare, years in July-August. Primorye, Manchuria, Korea. The species was assigned to the genus Notodonta, but the genitalia and some details of the pattern speak for Peridea
P. lativitta Wileman, 1911-common, found in the Amur and Primorye regions, Japan, Korea and C, C and B. China, flies in two generations from May to the end of August.
P. aliena Staudinger, 1892-rare, from June to September in the Amur region, Primorye, Manchuria, Korea and Japan.
P. elzet Kiriakoff, 1963-very rare, from May to August in the Amur and Primorye regions, Japan, Korea, and most of China.
P. graeseri Staudinger, 1892 - the most common species. Common. From June to September in the Amur region, Primorye, Korea and Japan, China, including the island of Taiwan.
P. gigantea Butler, 1877-probably the most numerous species. Two generations from June to September. It lives in the Amur region, Primorye, Manchuria, Korea and Japan.
P. moltrechti Oberthur, 1911-infrequently occurs from June to August in the Amur region, Primorye, Korea and China.
P. oberthueri Staudinger, 1892 - a very common species, from May to August in two generations in the Amur region, Primorye, Sakhalin, Manchuria, Korea, Japan, and the island. Taiwan.

I took the information from A. Schintlmeister "Palaearctic Macrolepidoptera, Notodontidae"
If you need a picture in a large format, ask, I will send it to e-mail.

In the obertueri, the wavy pattern also extends beyond the dentate process. Distinguish a polyline from the most wavy line? But the scrap rate is different...

Well, here it is. Have arrived.
Oh, Seryoga. I explained it quite clearly both in a schematic drawing and in words. I even made such a beautiful picture.
Eltset differs from Obertury primarily in the presence of red in color.
As for "Auberturie", you can't confuse her with anyone at all. The basal band is the most even of all, almost straight, a whitish discal spot, a slight silvery coating on the PC and the absence of red in the drawing.

Charles Oberthur (1845-1924) was a famous French entomologist. Proceedings on the study of lepidoptera of the Far East, China, and North Africa. He published wonderful illustrated books on lepidoptera. The Oberthur collection is held at the Natural History Museum in London.
