A small family of mottled lepidoptera, well represented in the tropics.
There are several species on the territory of the former USSR. Willingly fly to the light.
In the middle zone, Apoda limacodes is most well-known at the
top - M. O., Odintsovo district, Chigasovo, 15.07.2007.
at the bottom - the same place, date-07.07.2006.

Several clarifications were made in connection with the recent revision of the Russian fauna of this family (Solov'ev A.V., 2008).

Austrapoda hepatica
Primorsky Krai, Khasansky district, Andreevka, 20-28. 07. 2006.

This is Neothosea suigensis. The real Austrapoda hepatica it looks like this.

I don't know about you, but I liked this view the most.
Parasa sinica
The shine on the wings is not from fat. They have such scales.
Primorsky Krai, Khasansky district, Andreevka, 20-28. 07. 2006.

This is Parasa hilarula. It is distinguished by dark rear wings.

I would like to add three more species from the Far East to the gallery of slugs:
[...]
L. hilarata is very similar to the L. sinica already presented by Morozzz. The simplest difference is the color of the rear fenders.

This is Parasa sinica (=hilarata). Light rear fenders.
Views from the last quoted post - also from Andreevka?

But I don't agree:
I looked at: Dubatolov's site-Novosibirsk collection, Japanese definition, Chistyakov's articles (Vladivostok) and the Watural history Musem site - The Global Lepidoptera Names Index (link below, only BBB should be replaced with WWW)

In Appendix 3, page: the taxa sinica, hilarata, and hilarula
are still synonyms (dark wings), and hilarata is separate. view (light wings)

I bring to your attention the species of Russian Far Eastern slugs that have not yet been placed on the forum:
