Apollons are good, yolks are even better, but the crested ones are dearer to me

Phalerodonta manleyi inclusa Hampson, 1910
China, Shenxi, October

Subfamily Phalerinae
The East Asian genus Phalerodonta Staudinger, 1892 is interesting because its few representatives fly in the deep autumn.
The farted butterfly lives in Northern India and Northern Vietnam, Central China.
P. bombycina Oberthür, 1880 occurs in the Far East. Thanks to Cajarc, it is already presented here on the 3rd page of the topic (URL #148).
There are also such species as P. kiriakoffi Schintlmeister, 1985 from Yunnan,
and P. manleyi Leech, 1889 from Japan, sometimes listed as a subspecies inclusa.
Taiwan also has Phalerodonta. Whether it's a subspecies of manleyi or a separate species, I hope we'll find out soon enough.

Well, since we have already touched upon the subfamily Phalerinae, we will show some representatives of the genus Phalera, that is, "holes".

Then a question you didn't expect from me
Do you have an endless supply of tufts? It feels like you have almost all the views from Japan to China
By the way, I watched Nagomatulin's collection. As it seemed to me-he has 2 Peridei of Corby.. I.e. those that look like them, like they are.. These only 2 specimens had feathery antennae, the rest had thin filamentous whiskers. Moreover, one copy of !Moscow region, and one of our own! The next time I visit , I'll take a picture, and 2 masters will give their verdict
There was also something else interesting, in general, look at

Andrey, I don't have an endless supply of tufts at all.
Obviously not all crested whales, in the former USSR there are at least hundreds of species, obviously. In China, about 500!
Peridea korbi in the Moscow region? I do not believe. We have anceps. Here in Moldova-who knows, maybe.
In short, spread it out-let's see

29.02.2008 21:59, Pavel Morozov

Let's move on.
it doesn't look like a crested bird at all, but it still belongs to them.
Porsica ingens Walker, 1866
From Northeast India to Thailand and to Indonesia.

Specimen from Southeast China, Jianxi

In general, the genus Porsica Walker, 1866 is distributed in South and Southeast Asia. Currently, 15 species have been described, including 9 from Sumatra.

Cnetodonta dispicio Schintlmeister, 2008
China, Shengxi
top male
Inhabits the mountains of Central China.
From C. grisescens (this species is represented by Cajarc - URL#181), it differs in a more developed black pattern, a somewhat yellowish tint (in my opinion, elusive) and the structure of the genitals.
There are also C. pustulifer, C. alia from China, and C. japonica from Japan.

The average crested butterfly is usually a small, fluffy, modestly and "protectively" colored moth. But even in this seemingly monotonous family, there are many bright, fancifully colored species. There are also real giants - more than 10 cm in wingspan. Some South American species resemble hawkmoth rather than crested hawkmoth in appearance.
Some are very peculiar in shape and color, like the previous and following species.
Togaritensha curvilinea Wileman, 1911
South-eastern China
The species is also distributed in North-eastern India, Northern Indochina and on the island of Taiwan.

Ptilodon cucullina. I've already been there, but I really like it. This female is from Primorsky Krai.

It is clear that you can not trust anyone 100% and immediately (in the sense of not for any reason, but just a scientific principle). But there's not enough time for everything. Family, business, teaching and scientific work (not from the field of biology), and even independently inventing expeditions - you have to sacrifice something. So do not judge strictly and thank you for your understanding.
And just to tease the audience a little... In the evening, I returned from an expedition and only managed to "throw" the UV lamp somehow. Somewhere in the Primorsky Territory.
It's the end of July

For comparison, the first day after arriving at the Far East at the end of June
