Notodonta tritophus (Denis & Schiffermuller, 1775)
Of the European species, probably the rarest.
The division into subspecies, in my opinion, is not entirely correct and requires additional study.
According to Schintlmeister, a nominative subspecies lives in southern Europe, the Caucasus and Turkey, in Western and Central Europe and Scandinavia - Notodonta tritophus phoebe, In Finland, Ukraine, the European part of Russia and further east to Lake Baikal-subspecies Notodonta tritophus tiefi Bartel, 1903
variability depending on external conditions.
So, I'll show the butterflies, indicating only the locale.
This copy is from Hungary.

After that, a couple of Turkish tritofuses.
The Asia Minor population appeared as Notodonta tritophus irfana (de Freina, 1983), but A. Schintlmeister reduced it to synonyms with the nominative.
Male and female, Eastern Turkey.

Happy New Year to all!
After a bit of sleep, I will offer you some pictures and something like an illustrated announcement of a new book on notodontids.
In 2012, a new volume from the World Catalog of Insects vol. 11 series
dedicated to Notodontidae & Oenosandridae was released. The author is, of course, Alexander Shintlmeister.

I will note at once that the hikes are now officially in the tufted family Thaumetopoeinae. They would now have to be moved to us here. I take off my hat and freeze in the deepest pardon.

The Central Asian Gissarus relictus Kozhantshikov, 1950, which was found in Volnyanki, was finally confirmed to be a crested bird. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, he is a clear representative of the subfamily Ptilodoninae, close to our Odontosia, both on the face and on the genitals.

I must say that the author has done a huge amount of work, checked a lot of standard material in different museums around the world.
Naturally, a number of taxa have changed their status, as we'll discuss later in our section.

Let's start with Dudusinae, namely, the genus Gangarides Moore, 1866

Gangarides puerariae Mell, 1922
male from Thailand, female from Vietnam.
The most widespread and most numerous species of the genus is found from the Himalayas to Eastern China and Korea. Quite variable.
The type from originates from SE China.
The name of the taxon was considered synonymous with G. dharma Moore, 1866 until the type material was studied.

02.01.2014 18:30, Pavel Morozov

But this is Gangarides dharma Moore, 1866
Until now, such butterflies with a pronounced yellow background were Gangarides flavescens Schintlmeister, 1997.
Typical material from the NE of India is just such.

Gangarides dharma Moore, 1866 (=G. flavescens)
male-O. Hainan, female-Ts. Vietnam.
Distribution - from the east of the Himalayas to the south-west of China.

And this butterfly was generally in a different genus-Euhampsonia. Now it's Gangarides.

Gangarides gigantea (Druce, 1909)
male, Malaysia, Borneo, Sabah.
Common in Borneo and PNG

Let's move on.
Let's go through the catalog pages. The genus Stauroplitis Gaede, 1930 contains three known species distributed in Southeast Asia.

Here is Stauroplitis apicalis (Moore, 1879), which until recently was Stauroplitis accomodus Schintlmeister & Fang, 2001.
Male, Yunnan.
The species is distributed in South India, where both apicalis and accomodus are described, in Yunnan and almost all of Indochina except Vietnam. It is most common in Thailand.

Funny enough, there is an image of Stauroplitis apicalis in Zeitz Fauna Indoaustralica pars II tafel 82.
So it is not surprising that Igor asked why this species was so recently described, despite the fact that it was going to be a long time ago.

The second species is Stauroplitis annulata Gaede, 1930
ssp plumbalis Schintlmeister, 2007. Males from Northern Thailand and South Vietnam, Female from South Vietnam.
It is also quite widespread in Indochina and the Sunda Islands.
A very similar species, Stauroplitis briachista (Schaus, 1928), is found in the Philippines

to Igorvet:
Igor, I corrected the name of one of the butterflies from Papua. There's not Syntypistis kebeae, but Syntypistis didyma

Also corrected

07.01.2014 19:12, Pavel Morozov

And now I will "work on my own mistakes".

I will continue to upload information from the pages of the new catalog.
The favorite genus Harpyia Ochsenheimer, 1810 was not left without changes.
While working with the H. longipennis complex, I made one mistake regarding the taxon Harpyia roseata (Gaede, 1930). The study of the genitalia of various butterflies of this complex made it possible to distinguish as many as six from one species. Four subspecies were raised to species status, and two were described as new.

This harpy is noted by Gede as an aberration of longipennis. In principle, I should have described it as a new species, but I just raised the status to species. A. Schintlmeister in the new catalog named this species as Harpyia morozovi Schintlmeister, 2013. It's nice, of course, but the name "gaedei"would be more appropriate for the butterfly
In any case, the concept of work does not change!

Pictured is Harpyia morozovi Schintlmeister, 2013
Nepal, Anapurna massif.
It is distributed in the Himalayas at altitudes of about 2000 m, in summer-in autumn.

Quite a lot of changes in the taxonomy of the genus Phalera Hübner, 1819. And Schintlmeister, after a more thorough study of the standard material, made a number of adjustments.
For example, the subspecies status for the Far Eastern population of Phalera bucephala has been returned.
The subspecies P. bucephala infulgens Graeser, 1888, distributed in the temperate part of East Asia, differs from the European one by a slightly paler color.
The Transcaucasian-Iranian subspecies P. bucephala persica Daniel, 1938 is, on the contrary, darker.
The picture shows butterflies from different regions of the former USSR. It is noticeable that the specimen from Karachevo-Cherkessia (Teberd) is close in color to the specimen from Armenia, has a rather dark external background, a pronounced pattern of dark trickled bandages on the fore wing, whitish hind wings. The Mongolian, Primorye, and Sakhalin specimens are slightly paler, and the striate pattern of the forewing is not pronounced.

Even more interesting is the rather complex complex of large "holes" from Southeast Asia, most of which have repeatedly appeared on the forum pages.

Schintlmeister has covered quite a lot, and I hope I understood him correctly. If something is wrong, I hope he will correct me.

To begin with, I will introduce (not for the first time here, bayan) Phalera sangana Moore, 1860
The species is widely distributed in South and Southeast Asia on the mainland.
In the photo: a female at the top and a male at the bottom from Pokhara (Nepal), a male in the middle from Thailand.

At one time, Bryk (a rather interesting author, by the way) described the subspecies Phalera sangana bermicola Bryk, 1949, but now it has become clear that this is a separate species, known to this day under the name Phalera sundana Holloway, 1982, which in turn was described by Holloway from Borneo.

So, Phalera bermicola Bryk, 1949
(= Phalera sundana Holloway, 1982)
The material is from Thailand and South Vietnam, the female in the lower right is from Borneo.
Distribution – Indochina, South China and Sunda Islands.
