Images of Euhampsonia Dyar, 1897 species are well presented in the subject, but are scattered throughout its pages.
I'll put them together now.
The genus is widely distributed in South and East Asia, including the Russian Far East, Japan, and the Sunda Islands. The species E. gigantea, which is now Gangarides, is excluded from the genus, which is very noticeable at least in the structure of the antennae.
The butterflies are large and quite beautiful. There are several types of doppelgangers. Some are very widespread, some are narrowly horizontal.
Forage plant – different types of oak.

Euhampsonia serratifera Sugi, 1994
Is distributed in most of China, mainly in the southern half, almost throughout Indochina. It is very similar to E. roepkei and E. niveiceps, from which it differs in a slightly noticeable yellowish-greenish tint. Butterflies from Central China belong to the subspecies E. serratifera viridiflavescens Schintlmeister, 2008, JYB somewhat lighter than others.
Pictured above is a male from South Vietnam leg. DimVa, below – male and female from SE China leg. V. Sinyaev.

Euhampsonia roepkei Holloway, 1983
This species is mostly known from the Sunda Islands and is quite common in Java and Sumatra, Borneo. It reaches the mainland as far as southern Myanmar, where it flies with E. serratifera.
They haven't been collected in Thailand yet. It is almost indistinguishable from E. serratifera, but has a faint purple tint on the forewings and is darker.
Java is home to much smaller butterflies than other places.
Above is a male from Borneo leg. Entoterra, below-from Java.

Euhampsonia niveiceps (Walker, 1865)
Bhutan, leg. V. Sinyaev
Endemic to the Himalayas. Somewhere in the eastern Himalayas, it may occur with E. serratifera, from which it differs in a weak grayish tint and a less pronounced dark pattern.

Euhampsonia sinjaevi Schintlmeister, 1997
Male from Yunnan leg. V. Sinyaev, female from Sichuan, China.
Described from Northern Vietnam, over time it turned out that the species is quite common and spread much wider, reaching north to Central China, to the west – to Thailand and Myanmar, where it is already rare. Mostly a mountain species, mostly flying at least 1500-1700 m.

Then there are a couple of our species, which have already appeared here many times.

Euhampsonia cristata (Butler, 1877)
Very widespread, common species: the Amur region and Primorye, Japan, Korea, almost all of China, including the islands of Taiwan and Hainan. It goes south to northern Thailand.
The further south, the darker the color of butterflies becomes.
In the photo: on the left – a male and a female from Primorye leg. Morozzz, top right – a male from South Korea leg. Ilya U, below – a male from SE China leg. V. Sinyaev.

Among the tufts, painted, for the most part, in nondescript colors, there are also real masterpieces that shine with bright colors, and even a metallic luster.
They are widely known in the subfamily Dudusinae, for example, Tarsolepis. There are also many of them in the subfamily Pygaerinae-Spatalia, Allata, Ginshachia, Rosama.

Even among the so - called "bambuchnits" - Ceirinae, there are species that can "boast" of silvery scales.
Next, there are four such types (and there are at least six similar ones), with such cute details of the drawing.

Top left row:
Bireta aristion (Schintlmeister, 1997), SW China, Yunnan.
In the picture, the female (6.5 cm), the male is noticeably smaller. It has a beautiful oblique silver stripe on the front fender.
It is distributed in the mountains of Southern China, Northern Vietnam, Myanmar and Northern Thailand.

Left row at the bottom:
Bireta astrae (Schintlmeister & Fang, 2001)
Male, King. Silvery scales are present only in the basal part of the forewing.
Endemic to the C Mountains of China

Top right row:
Bireta argentea (Schintlmeister, 1997)
male, SE China. This species is simply a champion in terms of the number of "metallics"!
It is found from northern Vietnam to central China.

Right row at the bottom:
Bireta ortharga (Wu & Fang, 2003)
Male, King. A doppelganger of the previous one, with which he can fly together. Differences in the shape of the silver stripes, the color of the rear wings and small details of the paint, the overall background is lighter.
It is known from Central and Southern China

I will try to combine the scattered on the forum tufts of the genus Ellida in one set.

The genus Ellida Grote, 1887 is distributed in East Asia. Caterpillars on oaks, linden trees, and elms. Currently, 4 species are known, 3 of which fly to the south of the Russian Far East.

Ellida branickii (Oberthür, 1880)
Male from Primorye, leg. Cajarc, female-from Central China, leg. V. Sinyaev.
The largest species, it flies in spring and early summer. The female pictured was with a dog, the caterpillars were good at nibbling the proposed young oak leaves, but due to the frosts of May 2008, which froze the young foliage, it was not possible to remove the butterflies.
It is distributed in the south of Primorye, Korea, Japan and Central China.

Ellida viridimixta (Bremer, 1861)
The most common species is the Amur region, Primorye, Korea, and Japan. Further, with a large gap in the range, it is again found in SW China, Vietnam and in the eastern Himalayas. Caterpillar on a lime tree.
In addition to the large but broken range, there are also two main "forms" of coloration. Next - a lot of letters:
The usual form is characterized by a developed green pattern, but among the green ones there are many specimens with a strongly reduced or absent green pattern. Previously, we have already considered this interesting view, but the further we go, the fewer questions there are.
Let us turn to A. Schintlmeister.
Maestro writes that the taxon described by Staudinger, Notodonta albimacula Staudinger, 1887, is conspecific with E. viridimixta, but the type corresponds to the form with reduced green. Butterflies differ quite well in appearance, noticeably larger than green ones. According to A. Schintlmeister, the analysis of genitalia did not reveal any differences. Butterflies with and without green fly together and simultaneously in two generations.
But this is not all: there is another taxon - Urodonta viridimixta infuscata Matsumura, 1922, described from Japan. The type is a brown (I guess even without a hint of green) male, whose conspecificity with E. viridimixta is also doubtful for Schintlmeister. However, this subspecies is synonymous with E. viridimixta.
It is also strange that the range is quite large, but broken, similar to that of the relict Zaranga tukuringra. Between southern Sichuan and northern China, they have not yet been collected. By the way, I once saw a male specimen from Sichuan (Gongga Shan Mountain), which is much larger than the seaside ones. That specimen clearly developed a green pattern, which from time to time (or something else) became red.
Back to Schintlmeister: the author writes that the specimens in the collection lose their green color over time due to humidity, light, and time. Well, it's not quite clear again, in my collection there are several copies collected in one place, at one time, spread out simultaneously in a quick way (teased with ammonia), with a well-preserved or faded pattern.

In the first photo: three specimens from the Border region of Primorye (Barabash-Levada), collected in July. A male with green and a pair with a reduced green pattern.
In the second photo: male from South China, Sichuan, Gongga Shan. The instance is not from my collection.

Oh, yes! The new catalog preserves the status quo: albimacula and infuscata remain synonymous, while all brown specimens are explained by individual variability.

The genus Rhegmatophila Standfuss, 1888 includes four well-isolated species distributed in the mountains of Europe, Asia Minor and Central Asia, and the Sino-Tibetan region.
These are small, rather modestly colored crested birds of the subfamily Pygaerinae.

The most popular is Rhegmatophila alpina Bellier, 1881, whose nominate subspecies lives in the mountains of Southern Europe.

not surprising at all.
Stanislav, where else is there one?

You can only talk about the nocturnal fauna in Central Asia with curses, because there are almost no normal modern collections. Most of them go to the mountains of SA to collect day bears, and they take night bears along the way, and even then, mostly, they take ursins and hawkmoths. It is good if someone uses a light trap, which is relatively ineffective.
In addition, training camps are held mainly in the" convenient " season. I went to get Charlton, but I also caught the bear by accident. This is how nocturnal fauna is collected in most cases.

Stanislav, can we rely on you to improve the situation? wink.gif

Light traps are different. The ones I use are extremely effective.

I caught aussemi this season on the Moldo-Too ridge in the Inner Tien Shan-quite far from the typical location. There are other crested birds - I haven't counted how many yet, but there are quite a few (there are even a couple of large ones, comparable in size to the poplar hawk moth). Over time, perhaps, hands will reach them.
