66D6A9A26A7D5A699F0CF956AD6593F2.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Dasypolia amoena sp. nov. is externally vaguely reminiscent of D. nivalis but can be readily distinguished by the serrulate male antenna (it is shortly bipectinate in D. nivalis), the somewhat broader forewing with slightly more convex costal and anal margins, the bluish-grey forewing ground colour (vs brown or grey brown in D. nivalis), the orange suffusion on the claviform, orbicular and reniform markings and the subterminal line, and the lack of the intense grey suffusion along the hindwing costal and outer margins, which is characteristic of D. nivalis. Additionally, the head and the thorax of the new species are pale grey with admixture of dark grey and ochreous hair-like scales whereas in D. nivalis they are more unicolourous dark brown. The male genital capsule of D. amoena sp. nov. is similar to D. diffusa sp. nov., D. luxuriosa sp. nov., D. ultramontana sp. nov. and D. nivalis but differs in the broader cucullus and the apically narrower harpe. The phallus of D. amoena sp. nov. is shorter and broader than in the similar species. The vesica configuration of D. amoena sp. nov. is most similar to D. ultramontana sp. nov. with its semiglobular ventral diverticulum but differs in the markedly smaller cornuti gathered into two more elongate clusters, which are more distant from each other than in the congener. Among species of the D. nivalis species group with known females, the female genitalia of D. luxuriosa sp. nov. are most similar to D. amoena sp. nov., but in the latter the medial, membranous section of the ductus bursae is longer, the sclerotised plates of the anterior gelatinous region of the ductus bursae are larger, and the corpus bursae is considerably shorter.	en	Chen, Enyong, Pan, Zhaohui, Volynkin, Anton V., Saldaitis, Aidas, Benedek, Balázs, Zhou, Yonghong (2025): On the taxonomy of the subgenera Tatsipolia, Chalapolia, and Kitapolia of the genus Dasypolia Guenée with the description of six new species from southern Xizang, China (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Noctuidae).

FEE9F1FD9A605A71BC20997C8FE257FC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Species of D. (Tatsipolia) are relatively small owlet moths externally reminiscent of members of the genus Cteipolia Staudinger, 1896 (see Gordeeva et al. 2023; Volynkin et al. 2024), from which D. (Tatsipolia) differs clearly in the genitalia morphology of both sexes. The male genital capsule ground plan of D. (Tatsipolia) is similar to Dasypolia s. str. (e. g., see Ronkay et al. 2001, 2014) and the main differences are found in the phallus and vesica: in D. (Tatsipolia), the phallus carina is smooth and the vesica bears one or two clusters of spine-like cornuti medially whereas the carina of Dasypolia s. str. bears a dentate plate and the vesica is unarmed. In the female genitalia, D. (Tatsipolia) has asymmetrical anterior sclerotisations of the ductus bursae (it is evenly sclerotised in the similar genus) and a reduced appendix bursae, which is well-developed and semiglobular or conical in Dasypolia s. str.	en	Chen, Enyong, Pan, Zhaohui, Volynkin, Anton V., Saldaitis, Aidas, Benedek, Balázs, Zhou, Yonghong (2025): On the taxonomy of the subgenera Tatsipolia, Chalapolia, and Kitapolia of the genus Dasypolia Guenée with the description of six new species from southern Xizang, China (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Noctuidae).

8293B860FB275E1C88F6A84BBBF96129.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The forewing length is 12.0 mm in males. Dasypolia brandstetteri with its strongly bipectinate male antenna, brown colouration, and the lack of the forewing transverse lines, is externally dissimilar to other species in the D. nivalis species group and is most reminiscent of D. ruficilia, a detailed comparison with which is provided above in the diagnosis of the latter. The male genital capsule of D. brandstetteri is distinct from other species in the D. nivalis species group by the narrower cucullus and the triangular valvula protruding ventrally. The vesica structure of D. brandstetteri is most reminiscent of D. nivalis with its vesica having a ventral diverticulum but in the former species the diverticulum is longer and bilobate. The female is unknown.	en	Chen, Enyong, Pan, Zhaohui, Volynkin, Anton V., Saldaitis, Aidas, Benedek, Balázs, Zhou, Yonghong (2025): On the taxonomy of the subgenera Tatsipolia, Chalapolia, and Kitapolia of the genus Dasypolia Guenée with the description of six new species from southern Xizang, China (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Noctuidae).

BA24114A0ACA5167A3C9349D954A3B36.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The forewing length is 11.5 mm in the male holotype. Dasypolia cerritula is most morphologically similar to D. polyformis sp. nov. and a detailed comparison is provided above in the diagnosis of the latter. Another similar species is the sympatric D. sejilaensis, from which D. cerritula can be distinguished by the greyish-brown hindwing with a smaller and rounded discal spot whereas the hindwing of D. sejilaensis is creamy with intense greyish suffusion outwardly and along the costal and anal margins, and its discal spot is large and falcate. The abdomen of D. cerritula is covered with black hair-like scales medially and distally whereas it is unicolourous brown in D. sejilaensis. In the male genital capsule, D. cerritula differs from D. sejilaensis in the narrower uncus, the larger penicular lobe with a more elongated posterior corner, and the shorter valva with a markedly broader cucullus densely covered with more robust setae. Additionally, the ampulla of D. cerritula is shorter and thinner than in D. sejilaensis, the valvula is markedly shorter and not protruding ventrally, the harpe is absent (it is present and tubercle-like in D. sejilaensis), and the juxta is narrower and bears a somewhat shorter and basally broader posterior medial process. The phalli and the vesica configurations of the two species are very similar but D. cerritula has two clusters of cornuti (vs 1 in D. sejilaensis).	en	Chen, Enyong, Pan, Zhaohui, Volynkin, Anton V., Saldaitis, Aidas, Benedek, Balázs, Zhou, Yonghong (2025): On the taxonomy of the subgenera Tatsipolia, Chalapolia, and Kitapolia of the genus Dasypolia Guenée with the description of six new species from southern Xizang, China (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Noctuidae).

Dasypolia diffusa sp. nov. is externally clearly different from other species in the D. nivalis species group by its ash-grey forewing ground colour and the indistinct forewing markings. The male genital capsule structure of D. diffusa sp. nov. is most similar to D. luxuriosa sp. nov. but in the former the uncus is broader, the harpe is apically narrower, and the valvula is more protruding ventrally than in D. luxuriosa sp. nov. Compared to D. luxuriosa sp. nov., the vesica of D. diffusa sp. nov. has a markedly narrower proximal section and bears two elongate row-like longitudinal clusters of smaller cornuti whereas in D. luxuriosa sp. nov. the cornuti are gathered into short, bunch-like clusters. In the female genitalia, D. diffusa sp. nov. differs clearly from other species in the D. nivalis species group in the shorter ductus bursae with small and weakly sclerotised plates and lacking the gelatinous anterior dilation, and the shorter and broader corpus bursae.	en	Chen, Enyong, Pan, Zhaohui, Volynkin, Anton V., Saldaitis, Aidas, Benedek, Balázs, Zhou, Yonghong (2025): On the taxonomy of the subgenera Tatsipolia, Chalapolia, and Kitapolia of the genus Dasypolia Guenée with the description of six new species from southern Xizang, China (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Noctuidae).

569D9245B77250289431977FCFEA1749.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Dasypolia intermedia sp. nov., with its larger size, elongate forewing and bipectinate male antenna, is externally readily different from other species in the D. vignai species group and is reminiscent of certain members of the D. nivalis species group, namely D. diffusa sp. nov., from which D. intermedia sp. nov. is distinguished by the more elongate forewing with a darker ground colour and more distinct markings. The male genital capsule of the new species is most reminiscent of the externally dissimilar D. ruficilia but differs in the narrower uncus, the longer and broader valva, the shorter cucullus with a narrower setose area, the thicker ampulla directed more distally, and the broader clasper with a slightly larger harpe directed anteriorly (inwards). Additionally, unlike D. ruficilia, the juxta of D. diffusa sp. nov. is more weakly sclerotised, anteriorly narrower, and bears a shorter and triangular medio-dorsal process, which is thumb-shaped in D. ruficilia. The phallus of D. diffusa sp. nov. is distally narrower than in D. ruficilia, and the vesica has a considerably longer proximal section and bears only one cluster of larger cornuti whereas there are two clusters in D. ruficilia. As the female of D. ruficilia is unknown, the female genitalia of D. diffusa sp. nov. were compared with other species of Tatsipolia s. str., from which the new species differs clearly in the markedly longer posterior sclerotised region of the ductus bursae forming a glass-shaped antrum (whereas in other species of the D. vignai species group, it is short and belt-like), and the gelatinous and globular anterior section of the corpus bursae bearing a sclerotised plate, which is similar to that of certain species of the D. nivalis species group, whereas in other species in the D. vignai species group, the anterior section of the corpus bursae bears a larger and flattened sclerotised plate. Additionally, the anterior section of the corpus bursae of the new species lacks the signum, which is present in other members of the D. vignai species group but also absent in the D. nivalis species group.	en	Chen, Enyong, Pan, Zhaohui, Volynkin, Anton V., Saldaitis, Aidas, Benedek, Balázs, Zhou, Yonghong (2025): On the taxonomy of the subgenera Tatsipolia, Chalapolia, and Kitapolia of the genus Dasypolia Guenée with the description of six new species from southern Xizang, China (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Noctuidae).

72773D18EA2456B19028C8C06785295D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The species largely varies in its forewing colouration (from mouse grey to ochreous with slate grey suffusion) and the degree of the forewing pattern development within the same population. Dasypolia polyformis sp. nov. is most morphologically similar to D. cerritula, from which the new species differs in the somewhat larger size, the broader forewing, and the paler ground colour and cilia of both wings. In the male genital capsule, D. polyformis sp. nov. is distinguished from D. cerritula by the broader uncus, the somewhat narrower cucullus with thinner setae, the somewhat longer ampulla extending beyond the ventral margin of the valva, and the somewhat broader but shorter juxta with a narrower medio-dorsal process. As the female of D. cerritula is unknown, the female genitalia of D. polyformis sp. nov. were compared with D. sejilaensis and D. vignai, from which the new species differs in the narrower ostium bursae, the shorter anterior sclerotised plate of the ductus bursae, and the corpus bursae less curved sideways.	en	Chen, Enyong, Pan, Zhaohui, Volynkin, Anton V., Saldaitis, Aidas, Benedek, Balázs, Zhou, Yonghong (2025): On the taxonomy of the subgenera Tatsipolia, Chalapolia, and Kitapolia of the genus Dasypolia Guenée with the description of six new species from southern Xizang, China (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Noctuidae).

B3A43BA76E8E57EFA31F50AB1B4607CB.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The forewing length is 12.0 mm in the male holotype. Dasypolia ruficilia differs externally from other species in the D. vignai species group in the unicolourous pale brown forewing ground colour and the reddish-brown forewing cilia, and is most reminiscent of D. brandstetteri, from which, however, it can be easily distinguished by the markedly shorter rami of the male antenna and the lack of the longitudinal black stripes in the cell and along the vein A 1, which are characteristic of D. brandstetteri. Additionally, unlike in D. brandstetteri, D. ruficilia has a forewing with a more medially convex costal margin and a less elongate apex, reddish-brown cilia, and distinct transverse lines. The male genitalia structure of D. ruficilia is similar to D. intermedia sp. nov. and a detailed comparison is provided below in the diagnosis of the latter.

33F569923F585B6EBFC68D40FC8E4BBF.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The forewing length is 11.0 – 12.0 mm in males and 13.0 mm in the female. Dasypolia sejilaensis is externally reminiscent of D. vignai but is distinguished by its forewing shape, which has a straight costal margin and a more elongate apex, and the more diffuse forewing pattern in males, and the longer hindwing discal spot in both sexes. Additionally, compared to D. vignai, the reniform stigma of D. sejilaensis is situated closer to the forewing costa, and the pale suffusion on the transverse lines and stigmata is grey whereas it is brown in the congener. The male genital capsule of D. sejilaensis differs from D. vignai in the broader valva with a broader and less downcurved cucullus, the shorter but markedly thicker and upcurved ampulla (it is downcurved in D. vignai), the broader sacculus, and the less prominent and triangular valvula, which is more rounded in D. vignai. Additionally, the uncus, penicular lobe and juxta of D. sejilaensis are broader than in D. vignai. The phallus of D. sejilaensis is shorter and broader than in D. vignai (in proportion to the genital capsule). The vesicae of the two species are similar but the cornuti are more or less equal in size in D. sejilaensis whereas the distal cornuti of D. vignai are markedly longer and thicker than the proximal ones. In the female genitalia, D. sejilaensis can be distinguished from D. vignai in the longer apophysis anterior (in proportion to the ovipositor length), the narrower, more asymmetrically sclerotised and sideways curved ductus bursae (it is nearly straight in D. vignai), and the straight posterior section of the corpus bursae, which is sideways curved in D. vignai. A detailed comparison with another similar species, the sympatric D. cerritula is provided above in the diagnosis of the latter.	en	Chen, Enyong, Pan, Zhaohui, Volynkin, Anton V., Saldaitis, Aidas, Benedek, Balázs, Zhou, Yonghong (2025): On the taxonomy of the subgenera Tatsipolia, Chalapolia, and Kitapolia of the genus Dasypolia Guenée with the description of six new species from southern Xizang, China (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Noctuidae).

Costal margin with series of irregular blackish spots. Subbasal line irregularly sinuous. Claviform marking dash-like, not reaching antemedial line, suffused with ochreous brown. Antemedial line irregularly zigzagged, edged with pale brownish-grey inwardly. Orbicular marking small, almost circular, filled with pale brownish-grey. Reniform marking filled with pale brownish-grey, with indistinct outer margin and small, vertical dash-shaped, blackish core spot. Postmedial line question mark-like curved, irregularly sinuous, edged with pale brownish-grey outwardly. Subterminal line irregular, edged with diffuse cuneal blackish spots of different sizes inwardly. Subterminal area pale grey with slight blackish suffusion. Terminal line interrupted into small spots on veins. Forewing cilia brownish-grey with admixture of blackish scales. Hindwing off-white medially, with intense brownish-grey suffusion along costal and outer margins, and slight brownish-grey suffusion along anal margin. Discal spot semilunar, brownish-grey, diffuse. Hindwing cilia pale brownish-grey. Male genitalia (Figs 55, 56). Uncus slightly swollen, rhomboidal, apically pointed. Tegumen with rounded and swollen penicular lobes. Vinculum somewhat longer than tegumen, heavily sclerotised, U-shaped, with short and rounded saccus. Valva lobular, tapered distally, with almost straight dorsal and convex ventral margins. Costa distally dilated and reaching cucullus. Cucullus rounded and densely covered with setae. Editum thin, stretching along ventral margin of costa and dorsally fused with it, bearing narrow triangular distal ampulla directed ventrally and reaching or slightly protruding beyond the ventral margin of valva. Sacculus trapezoidal, ~ 2 / 3 of valva width. Clasper oblique, ventrally straight and dorsally dilated and upcurved, bearing clavate harpe protruding beyond dorsal margin of valva. Valvula short but broad, not protruding ventrally. Juxta trapezoidal with thumb-shaped medio-dorsal process. Phallus cylindrical with rounded coecum, somewhat downcurved postmedially. Proximal section of vesica broader than phallus, proximally granulose and distally membranous, with short, semi-globular ventral diverticulum and two bunch-like clusters of short spine-like cornuti laterally and dorsally. Vesica ejaculatorius tubular and distally directed. Female unknown.	en	Chen, Enyong, Pan, Zhaohui, Volynkin, Anton V., Saldaitis, Aidas, Benedek, Balázs, Zhou, Yonghong (2025): On the taxonomy of the subgenera Tatsipolia, Chalapolia, and Kitapolia of the genus Dasypolia Guenée with the description of six new species from southern Xizang, China (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Noctuidae).

5F83432CA7EB573FA68773337E583DC8.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The forewing length is 12.0 mm in both sexes. Dasypolia vignai is externally similar to D. sejilaensis and D. cerritula but distinguished by the forewing having a slightly convex costal margin and a shorter and more rounded apex, and the more distinct forewing pattern in males, and the shorter hindwing discal spot in both sexes. Additionally, compared to the similar congeners, in D. vignai the reniform stigma is situated more inwardly from the forewing costa. The male genitalia of D. vignai differ clearly from other species in the D. vignai species group in the narrow cucullus, the long, downcurved and apically pointed ampulla, and the large and rounded valvula. A detailed comparison with the most morphologically similar D. sejilaensis is provided above in the diagnosis of the latter.	en	Chen, Enyong, Pan, Zhaohui, Volynkin, Anton V., Saldaitis, Aidas, Benedek, Balázs, Zhou, Yonghong (2025): On the taxonomy of the subgenera Tatsipolia, Chalapolia, and Kitapolia of the genus Dasypolia Guenée with the description of six new species from southern Xizang, China (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Noctuidae).
