Species of the genus (Figs 1, 2) are sexually dimorphic with females externally similar to Tufteulisna gen. n., Bitecta and Macotasa Moore, 1878 . Males of Plumareola are characterised by the abdomen bearing bristles of long androconial scales on each segment, the rounded forewing apex and tornus, and the modified forewing cell bearing a cluster of androconial scales and having a comma-shaped transverse fold. The male genital capsule of Plumareola (Fig. 92) is characterised by the massive posteriorly directed lateral lobes of the juxta, which is herein considered as an autapomorphic feature of the genus. Additionally, Plumareola differs from other similar genera by the short valva (in proportion to the tegumen-vinculum complex) with a proximally narrow sacculus. The vesica of Plumareola is short and narrow and bears a broad cluster of spines. In the female genitalia of Plumareola (Fig. 145), the corpus bursae is extremely elongate and narrow, which is also unique among the Teulisna sensu lato .</p><p>Note. The Malayan P. nigrisquama (Bucsek, 2012), comb. n. was originally described in Teulisna and is closely related to the type species of the genus Plumareola described from Java Island.

The new genus (Figs 3, 4) is closely related to Plumareola with males sharing such external diagnostic features as the abdomen bearing bristles of androconial hair-like scales and the forewing cell having a comma-shaped transverse fold. However, unlike in Plumareola, males of Tufteulisna gen. n. have shorter abdominal androconial hair-like scales and more angled forewing apex and tornus. The male genital capsule of Tufteulisna gen. n. (Fig. 93) is similar to Plumareola with its robust uncus, heavily sclerotised scaphium, and proximally narrow sacculus, but is distinct in the juxta lacking the processes, and the strongly enlarged bilobate lamella centralis with a massive and heavily sclerotised distal lobe forming a cucullus-like distal section of the valva, the feature considered herein as autapomorphic. The vesica of Tufteulisna gen. n. is longer than in Plumareola and lacks the spines. In the female genitalia, Tufteulisna gen. n. (Fig. 146) differs from Plumareola in the markedly shorter, pyriform and membranous corpus bursae, which has a sclerotised posterior end in the latter genus.</p><p>Etymology. The genus name is an aggregate of the English ‘tuft’ and the genus-group name Teulisna, and refers to the male abdomen of members of the new genus bearing tufts of hair-shaped androconial scales. Gender is feminine.</p><p>Taxonomic content. The genus comprises two valid species: Tufteulisna pendleburyi (Holloway, 1982), comb. n. and Tufteulisna xanthura (Rothschild, 1920), comb. n., and is under revision by Volynkin &amp; Černý (in prep.).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F4087B7FFDDFFC817E2FAEBFD6DFEF0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Moths, 2: 78 (Type species: Lophoneura uniformis Hampson, 1894, by original designation), syn. n.</p><p>Notes. (1) Bitecta and Lophoneura were synonymised with Teulisna by Holloway (2001) along with a few other genus-group names. The examination of the type specimen of the type species of Lophoneura (Fig. 95) has revealed that it is clearly congeneric to the type species of Bitecta (Figs 5, 6, 94) and therefore Lophoneura is synonymised with the latter. (2) The Philippine “ Eilema ” vestigiata Černý, 1995 is transferred into Bitecta in the present paper and its relationships will be revised in the forthcoming revision of the genus (Volynkin &amp; Černý, in prep.).</p><p>Diagnosis. The male forewing of the genus has a strongly narrowed cell and bears two clusters of androconial scales: an elongate one stretching between the veins R1 and R2, and a compact one on the vein Cu proximally (Fig. 5). The male genital capsule of Bitecta (Figs 94, 95) is reminiscent of Teulisna but distinguished by the combination of the following features. (1) The valva is proximally narrow and has nearly parallel margins. (2) The basis valvae is broader. (3) The lamella centralis is strongly elongate and narrow, stretching from the distal end of the editum to the inner side of the distal saccular process, with which it is strongly articulated. (4) The dorsal branch of the distal saccular process is posteriorly dilated and setose while its anterior section is narrow fold-like and stalked with the lamella centralis in the middle of the valva. (5) The vesica lacks the sclerotised elements. The features (3) and (4) are considered herein as characteristic of the genus. The vinculum structure of Bitecta is similar to Teulisna . The type species of the genus lacks the plostri with caselli and the processus intrinsicus but these structures are present in reduced condition in other, otherwise morphologically very similar species in the genus (see Holloway 2001), which suggests that the presence or lack of the intravincular sclerotised structures or coremata in itself cannot be considered as a generic or subgeneric character. The intravincular saccate corema is present, which is similar to most of the subgenera of Teulisna except for Poikilothosia subgen. n. The female genitalia of Bitecta (Fig. 147) differ from Teulisna in the narrow and membranous corpus and appendix bursae whereas in the latter genus the posterior section of the corpus bursae and the proximal section of the appendix bursae are gelatinous and the former also often bears areas of sclerotisation. Compared to Plumareola and Tufteulisna gen. n., the female genitalia of Bitecta have a longer ductus bursae with a sclerotised plate, and a markedly larger appendix bursae.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F4087B7FFDCFFC817E2FEEEFABDFA4D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Species of the new genus (Fig. 7, 8) are externally reminiscent of Bitecta but differ in the narrower forewing having only one cluster of androconial scales (between the veins R1 and R2). In the male genital capsule (Fig. 96), Sundabitecta gen. n. differs from Bitecta in the combination of the following features. (1) The vinculum is shorter, narrower, has thicker arms and lacks the medial saccate corema, and the intravincular sclerotisations as well. (2) The valva is short, strongly dilated proximally and tapered distally. (3) The basis valvae is markedly narrower. (4) The lamella centralis is shorter, bears a crest-like pseudoampulla, and is displaced distally being situated within the inner surface of the distal saccular process and forming a complex with it. (5) The juxta is more heavily sclerotised, plate-like and has dorso-lateral processes, whereas in Bitecta, the juxta is similar to Teulisna, frame-like with a membranous ventro-medial section, and is extended dorsad with a caulis. Unlike in Bitecta, the phallus of Sundabitecta gen. n. has a developed carina protruding distad, and the vesica is broader and bears cornuti. In the female genitalia (Fig. 148), Sundabitecta gen. n. differs clearly from Bitecta in the broad and heavily gelatinous ductus bursae (it is membranous with a sclerotised plate in Bitecta), the globular corpus bursae with a gelatinous posterior section (it is elongate and membranous in Bitecta), and the very short and conical appendix bursae situated dorso-posteriorly and directed posteriad whereas it is utricular, situated postero-laterally and recurved in Bitecta .</p><p>Etymology. The genus name is an aggregate of the geographical name Sunda and the genus-group name Bitecta and refers to the distribution of the new genus in Sundaland. Gender is feminine.</p><p>Taxonomic content. The genus currently comprises one valid species: Sundabitecta fasciata (Gaede, 1925), comb. n.

The only species of the new genus (Fig. 9, 10) is externally reminiscent of members of the genus Mithuna Moore, 1878 (illustrated by Holloway 2001) and has a broad forewing with a strongly convex costal margin. In male, the subcostal area between the veins R1 and R2 bears a cluster of androconial scales, which is similar to Sundabitecta gen. n. The female has forewing markings similar to male but the ground colour is darker, greyish-brown whereas it is ochreous brown in the male. The male genital capsule structure of Fangeulisna gen. n. (Fig. 97) is reminiscent of Bitecta but differs clearly in the long costa occupying the whole dorsal margin of the valva (vs. proximal one-third in Bitecta), and the lamella centralis stretching along and dorsally fused with the costa (it is articulated with the distal saccular process in Bitecta), and forming with it a swollen saccate and setose-spinulose ‘cucullus’, which is unique among the Teulisna sensu lato . The distal saccular process of Fangeulisna gen. n. is narrow and has a reduced dorsal branch. The juxta of the new genus is frame-shaped with a short caulis, which is similar to Bitecta and Teulisna . The vinculum of Fangeulisna gen. n. is short and lacks the coremata and sclerotisations, which is similar to Sundabitecta gen. n. The female genitalia of Fangeulisna gen. n. (Fig. 149) are reminiscent of Bitecta but differ in the short ductus bursae lacking the sclerotised plate, the posteriorly sclerotised corpus bursae, the anterior section of the corpus bursae bearing a signum, and the reduced and conical appendix bursae, which is well-developed and utricular in Bitecta .</p><p>Etymology. The generic name is an aggregate of the surname Fang and the genus-group name Teulisna . The new genus is dedicated to Dr Fang Chenglai, author of the Arctiidae volume of the fundamental book series “ Fauna Sinica ” (Fang 2000). Gender is feminine.</p><p>Taxonomic content.

Species of the genus (Figs 11–91) are diverse externally, usually have distally angular forewing and display a moderate or limited sexual dimorphism. In most groups, males have a forewing with an elongate cluster of androconial scales below the vein Cu (similar to the Thysanoptyx generic complex). The male genitalia of the genus (Figs 98–144) are characterised by the combination of the following features. (1) The scaphium is thin, gelatinous or weakly sclerotised. (2) The vinculum is trapezoidal with thin but heavily sclerotised arms. The intravincular area has a medial saccate corema and a complex of sclerotisations: the processus intrinsicus, medius, introrsum, and the paired plostri bearing gelatinous and easily detachable bodies termed the caselli (Birket-Smith 1965; Volynkin 2024). Some of the aforementioned intravincular structures are absent in certain groups. (3) The juxta is frame-like with a membranous ventro-medial section and is extended into caulis dorsally. (4) The basis valvae is well-developed. (5) The costa is very short and occupies only the basal section of the dorsal margin of the valva, in most groups it lays only on the outer wall of the valva. (6) The editum is short, thin and gelatinous or weakly sclerotised. The tendon is present. (7) The sacculus is proximally broad, forming a fold, the dorsal margin of which is connected with the apex of the juxta by the membranous commissure. (8) The distal saccular process has a dorsal plate-like branch lying in the plane of the outer wall of the valva. (9) The lamella centralis is present, distally articulated with the dorsal branch of the distal saccular process, and in a number of groups bears a process. In the recent paper devoted to the genitalia morphology of Lithosiini (Volynkin 2024), it was suggested to use the descriptive term the crest of lamella centralis to refer to the protrusions of this sclerite. However, as in most groups of Teulisna it is not crest-shaped but thorn-shaped or clavate, the new term pseudoampulla is introduced herein to refer to the process of the lamella centralis. The phallus and vesica structures are diverse within the genus. The female genitalia of Teulisna (Figs 150–181) are characterised by the combination of the following features. (1) The ductus bursae is relatively short, dorso-ventrally flattened, gelatinous or with sclerotised plates. (2) The corpus bursae is saccate and has a gelatinous posterior section in many species bearing irregular areas of sclerotisation, wrinkles or clusters of spinulose scobination. In certain groups the corpus bursae also has diverticula and/or protrusions. (3) The appendix bursae is short conical, can be situated in various parts of the corpus bursae depending on the group; reduced in certain species.</p><p>Notes. (1) The genus is subdivided into four subgenera in the present paper. The names Teulisna, Tegulata Walker 1862 and Corcura Walker 1862 were introduced in the same publication (Walker 1862), and Birket-Smith (1965), acting as the First Reviser (see Article 24.2 of ICZN (1999)), determined the priority of Teulisna over Tegulata and Corcura . (2) The following species are herein excluded from Teulisna and transferred to the genus Mithuna: Mithuna tongdzuythanhi (Dubatolov &amp; Bucsek, 2016), comb. n., Mithuna flava (Dubatolov &amp; Bucsek, 2016), comb. n., Mithuna varia (Bucsek, 2020), comb. n., Mithuna mithunoides (Černý, 2009), comb. n., Mithuna tenebrosus (N.

As the type species of these taxa display no fundamental differences, one of those genus-group names should be synonymised with another one. Acting as the First Revisers (see Article 24.2 of ICZN (1999)), we herein determine the priority of Tegulata over Corcura . (2) The subgenus is under revision by Volynkin &amp; Černý (in prep.).</p><p>Diagnosis. Species of the genus (Figs 15–18) have forewing shape similar to the nominate subspecies with brown ground colour and one or two black spots at the costal margin proximally and/or medially. The male genitalia of Teulisna (Tegulata) (Figs 100, 101) differ from other subgenera in the lack of the distinct border between the basis valvae and the base of the sacculus whereas in other subgenera of Teulisna, the basis valvae is framed by the jugum basalis and is flexibly articulated with the sacculus. Besides this feature, the male genitalia ground plan of Teulisna (Tegulata) is similar to Teulisna s. str. but the former differs in the narrower lamella centralis, which bears a weakly sclerotised and lobular pseudoampulla and almost reaches the dorsal margin of the valva (similar to Cossa; whereas in the of Teulisna s. str. is bilobate and bears a sclerotised thorn-shaped or clavate pseudoampulla), the thin, string-shaped caulis (vs. broad plate-like one in both Teulisna s. str. and Cossa), and the broader sacculus with a larger dorsal branch of its distal process. The female genitalia of the subgenus (Figs 151, 152) display no fundamental differences from other subgenera.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F4087B7FFD9FFCC17E2FABCFC53FDDC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Species of the subgenus (Figs 19–91) are externally reminiscent of Teulisna (Tegulata) but are clearly different in their male genitalia structures (Figs 102–144), which are characterised by the combination of the following features. (1) The vinculum lacks the processus intrinsicus, the medius and the medial saccate corema. The plostri with caselli are present in most species but the T. bipectinis and T. differens sp. n. species-groups. (2) The tendon is elongate and fused with its counterpart into a gelatinous string whereas other subgenera of Teulisna have a very short tendon. (3) The lamella centralis is short plate-like, with a thorn-shaped or triangular pseudoampulla in most species, situated in the middle of the valva. (4) The dorsal branch of the distal saccular process is relatively short. The female genitalia of the subgenus (Figs 154–181) display no fundamental differences from other subgenera.</p><p>Etymology. The subgenus name is an aggregate of the Greek ‘ποικίλος’ meaning ‘diverse’ and the genus-group name Lithosia Fabricius, 1798, and refers to the surprising hidden species diversity of the new subgenus. Gender is feminine.</p><p>Note. The subgenus is reviewed below in the present paper.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F4087B7FFD8FFCC17E2FB78FC2AF8FF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The forewing length is 13.0–13.5 mm in males and 15.0–16.0 mm in females. Teulisna spinulosa is vaguely reminiscent of the Himalayan T. ganesha but distinguished by the shorter forewing with a more elongate apex, and the costal spot of the forewing situated more distally. The male genitalia of T. spinulosa are fundamentally different from T. ganesha and are most similar to the partly sympatric and externally quite dissimilar T. bipectinis, unlike which T. spinulosa has a thin and distally tapered uncus (it is swollen and posteriorly dilated in the congener), a shorter vinculum, a longer valva with a flattened, broadly triangular and smooth distal saccular process (it is club-shaped and serrulate in T. bipectinis), and a membranous anellus (it bears a broad dense ring-like cluster of minute triangular thorns in the congener). The phallus of T. spinulosa is shorter than in T. bipectinis, has a shorter and less upcurved coecum, and a longer and thinner carinal process. The vesica of T. spinulosa is broad saccate with two broad clusters of ornamentation distally: a dorsal one consisting of short but robust spinules, and a ventral cluster of short spinulose scobination, whereas the vesica of T. bipectinis is narrow tubular with a denser cluster of spinules basally and subbasally. The female genitalia of T. spinulosa can be easily distinguished from T. bipectinis by the shorter ductus bursae, and the broader corpus bursae having a dilated and densely spinulose gelatinous posterior section, and a short, narrow and gelatinous anterior section whereas in T. bipectinis, the posterior section is tubular and lacking the spinules while the anterior section is broader, teardrop-shaped, and membranous with a narrow cluster of scobination along its left wall.</p><p>Distribution. The species is currently known from Northern Vietnam (Lao Cai and Tuyen Quang Provinces) (Volynkin 2023b).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F4087B7FFD7FFC217E2F8BAFD83FB5C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Teulisna distributa sp. n. is externally indistinguishable from the partially sympatric T. pilcheri sp. n. and the reliable identification requires the examination of the genitalia structures. The male genital capsule of T. distributa sp. n. differs clearly from other similar congeners in the proximally narrower valva, the larger, thorn-shaped pseudoampulla, and the narrower and cylindrical distal saccular process, which is flattened in similar species. The phallus of T. distributa sp. n. is markedly narrower than in other members in the T. protuberans species-group, and the vesica is considerably shorter and globular whereas it has a tubular or saccate main chamber in similar species. In the female genitalia, T. distributa sp. n. is distinguished from other species in the species-group by the narrower ostium bursae, the shorter and weakly sclerotised ductus bursae, and the membranous corpus bursae densely covered with minute spinules posteriorly, whereas in the similar congeners, the corpus bursae has gelatinous areas and sclerotised plates.</p><p>Distribution. The new species is known from Nepal, North and Northeast India and North Myanmar (Kachin State).</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the wide distribution of the new species.

The male genitalia of the species display remarkable variability in the length and width of the distal saccular process, and length and the degree of the curvature of the vesica even within the same population (e.g., see figs 108, 109).</p><p>Diagnosis. The forewing length is 11.0–12.0 mm in males and 13.0 mm in the female. Teulisna tubularis sp. n. is externally very similar to T. obliquistria, T. subtilis sp. n. and T. variabilis sp. n. also occurring in Northern Thailand and the reliable identification requires the examination of the genitalia structures. Compared to the sympatric T. obliquistria, T. tubularis sp. n. has a slightly narrower forewing with a less prominent costal protrusion.

In the female genitalia of T. tubularis sp. n., the narrow corpus bursae with a heavily gelatinous posterior section bearing irregular sclerotisations, is diagnostic.</p><p>Distribution. The new species is currently known from Northern Thailand (Mae Hong Son, Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Lampang, and Loei Provinces). The record of ‘ Teulisna protuberans ’ from Laos by Bucsek (2020) probably belongs to T. tubularis sp. n. but requires confirmation.</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the tubular vesica of the new species. The name is an adjective in apposition to the generic name.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F4087B7FFD4FFC017E2FF41FD08FB21	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The species was originally described from an unspecified number of specimens of both sexes from two places (“Sikhim …; Momeit, Burma ”) (Hampson 1894). Subsequently, Hampson (1900) limited his treatment of the taxon to the specimens from “Momeit, Burma ”. Although only male sex was mentioned by Hampson (1900), the number of the type specimens was not specified by the author therefore this cannot be considered as a valid lectotype designation as the existence of syntypes is possible. In order to stabilise the nomenclature, the male specimen labelled as “Type” is herein designated as the lectotype.</p><p>Diagnosis. The forewing length is 11.0–12.0 mm in males and 12.0 mm in females. Teulisna obliquistria is externally very similar to T. tubularis sp. n. and T. subtilis sp. n. also occurring in Northern Thailand and differs from those species only in the slightly more prominent costal protrusion of the forewing. The reliable identification requires the examination of the genitalia structures, which are most similar to T. inthanona sp. n., the comparison with which is provided below in its diagnosis. The male genitalia of T. obliquistria are also similar to T. tubularis sp. n., from which they differ in the shorter and narrower distal saccular process, the somewhat longer and proximally narrower phallus, the broader proximal section of the vesica with a reniform ventral diverticulum (vs. one or two short semiglobular diverticula laterally and dorsally in T. tubularis sp. n.), the presence of the tubular medial diverticulum with a terminal cornutus, and the shorter and straighter distal diverticulum. In the female genitalia, T. obliquistria is distinguished from T. tubularis sp. n. by the anteriorly broader ductus bursae, the shorter but broader corpus bursae with a markedly shorter posterior sclerotised area, the lack of the posterior ventral protrusion of the corpus bursae, and the considerably smaller appendix bursae.</p><p>Distribution. The species is currently known from Northern Myanmar (Shan State) (Hampson 1894) and Northern Thailand (Mae Hong Son Province) (present study).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F4087B7FFD4FFC717E2FAB8FBFFFD28	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The female of T. protuberans is very similar to another Himalayan species, T. distributa and differs only in the dark grey suffusion on the forewing. The male genitalia of T. protuberans are most reminiscent of T. inthanona sp. n. but differ in the shorter pseudoampulla directed more inwards, the distally narrower distal saccular process, and the markedly broader, longer and medially twisted proximal section of the vesica having a considerably larger ventral (proximal) diverticulum, the shorter and broader, conical medial diverticulum lacking the cornutus, and the shorter and broader distal diverticulum with a smaller, horn-shaped terminal cornutus, which is thorn-shaped with a broader base in T. inthanona sp. n. In the female genitalia, T. protuberans can be easily distinguished from other congeners by the long, narrow, membranous and finely scobinate corpus bursae having two irregular gelatinous and rugose postero-lateral protrusions at the junction with the ductus bursae, and a large heavily gelatinous latero-anterior protrusion.</p><p>Distribution.

Compared to T. tubularis sp. n., the male genitalia of T. subtilis sp. n. have a markedly shorter pseudoampulla, a narrower phallus, a longer, tubular and upcurved basal section of the vesica (it is distally directed in the similar congener), the short and clavate medial diverticulum lacking the terminal cornutus and with a vesica ejaculatorius originating laterally, and a narrower and shorter distal diverticulum bearing a spearhead-shaped terminal cornutus, which is thorn-shaped in the similar congener.</p><p>The female is unknown.</p><p>Distribution. The new species is currently known from Northern Laos (Huaphanh Province) and Northern Thailand (Chiang Mai Province).</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet is a Latin adjective meaning ‘subtle’ and refers to the narrow vesica of the new species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F4087B7FFD1FFC517E2FF41FE1FFBD5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(1) Although the females of T. protuberans and T. pilcheri sp. n. were matched with the males with a reasonable degree of confidence, the species belonging of the males can only be determined with certainty by molecular analysis or a breeding experiment, which were not available in the current study. In order to avoid a possible confusion, we herein designate a female clearly different in its genitalia from the female lectotype of T. protuberans as the holotype of the new species. (2) The populations from Himalaya and Khasi Hills display slight differences in their male genitalia, namely in the scobination of the medial diverticulum and the length and width of the distal section of the vesica. It is difficult to evaluate the taxonomic importance of these differences based on the limited material and without molecular data therefore those populations are considered herein as belonging to the same biological species.</p><p>Diagnosis. The forewing length is 13.0–14.0 mm in males and 15.0 mm in females. Teulisna pilcheri sp. n. differs from another widely distributed Himalayan species T. distributa sp. n. in the forewing with a more prominent costal protrusion and a larger black discal marking. The male genitalia of T. pilcheri sp. n. are vaguely reminiscent of T. fimbriata and T. bucseki sp. n. but differ clearly in the markedly smaller pseudoampulla, the narrower distal saccular process, the larger proximal diverticulum with a smaller cornutus, the recurved medial section of the vesica with a broad but very short medial diverticulum bearing a robust horn-shaped cornutus, and the strongly dilated distal section of the vesica with a single broad conical distal diverticulum bearing a robust spike-shaped terminal cornutus. In the female genitalia, T. pilcheri sp. n. is distinguished from T. fimbriata and T. bucseki sp. n. by the shorter anterior apophyses, the posteriorly broader ductus bursae, and the posterior section of the corpus bursae bearing a considerably larger left lateral protrusion but lacking the right sclerotised one with a sclerotised pocket, which is characteristic of the similar congeners. Additionally, the anterior section of the corpus bursae of T. pilcheri sp. n. is longer and narrower than in T. fimbriata and T. bucseki sp. n.</p><p>Distribution. The new species is known from Nepal and Northeast India (Sikkim, north of West Bengal, Meghalaya and Assam).</p><p>Etymology. The new species is named after J.G. Pilcher, collector of the holotype. The name is a noun in the genitive case.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F4087B7FFCEFFDA17E2FF41FE0EF954	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The dorsal diverticulum of the vesica of T. variabilis sp. n. has a dorsally directed subdiverticulum, which remarkably varies in its size and shape in different populations.</p><p>Diagnosis. The forewing length is 12.5–13.5 mm in males and 15.0 mm in females. Teulisna variabilis sp. n. is externally similar to T. fimbriata, T. obliquistria sp. n. and T. tubularis sp. n., and the reliable identification requires the examination of the genitalia structures. The male genital capsule of T. variabilis sp. n. is reminiscent of T. bucseki sp. n. and T. fimbriata but can be distinguished by the longer pseudoampulla protruding beyond the dorsal margin of the valva. The vesica structure of T. variabilis sp. n. is very characteristic and differs from other congeners in the large and curved dorsal and medial diverticula making the vesica S-shaped, and the medial diverticulum bearing a long and robust, horn-shaped cornutus. In the female genitalia, T. variabilis sp. n. is most similar to T. omeiana sp. n. but differs in the posterior section of the corpus bursae bearing a large and irregular sclerotised plate, which is fused with the sclerotisation of the ductus bursae, the gelatinous and rugose right lateral protrusion of the corpus bursae (it is sclerotised in T. omeiana sp. n.), and the anterior section of the corpus bursae bearing a single elliptical signum whereas T. omeiana sp. n. has two small round signa. Additionally, the anterior apophysis of T. variabilis sp. n. is shorter and thicker than in T. omeiana sp. n.</p><p>Distribution. The new species is found in Northern Thailand (Lampang and Chiang Mai Provinces).</p><p>Etymology.

INDIA: female, [Meghalaya, Khasi Hills] Khasis, Nat. Coll. / Doncaster private coll., Purch. 1927, gen. slide No.: AV7106 ♀ (OUMNH) .</p><p>Diagnosis. The forewing length is 13.5 mm in the male holotype and 14.5 mm in the female paratype. Teulisna robusta sp. n. is externally reminiscent of T. pilcheri sp. n. and differs in the smaller black discal marking in the male and the somewhat more prominent costal protrusion in the female. In the male genitalia, T. robusta sp. n. is most similar to T. variabilis sp. n. but distinguished by the longer and medially narrower uncus, the shorter pseudoampulla, and the narrower distal saccular process. The phalli of the two species are similar. In the vesica of T. robusta sp. n., the dorsal diverticulum is straight conical, membranous and bears a small spike-shaped terminal cornutus whereas in T. variabilis sp. n., it is curved, heavily granulose, lacks the cornutus but has a dorsal subdiverticulum. The distal (ventral) section of the vesica of T. robusta sp. n. is longer than in T. variabilis sp. n., has a markedly smaller conical medial diverticulum (it is massive and C-like curved in T. variabilis sp. n.), and a broader distal diverticulum bearing a straighter but considerably thicker terminal cornutus. The female genitalia of T. robusta sp. n. differ clearly from T. variabilis sp. n. in the posterior section of the corpus bursae lacking the irregular sclerotised plate, the more elongate and narrower anterior section of the corpus bursae bearing a long and broad area of sclerotisation but lacking the signum, and the more weakly gelatinous right lateral protrusion of the corpus bursae.</p><p>Distribution.

The new species is also externally reminiscent of the sympatric T. fimbriata and the identification requires the examination of the genitalia structures. The male genital capsule of T. brevis sp. n. is distinguished from T. fimbriata by the shorter uncus, the shorter pseudoampulla directed more distally, and the markedly narrower distal saccular process. The phallus of T. brevis sp. n. is considerably shorter and distally broader than in T. fimbriata . The vesica shape of T. brevis sp. n. is diagnostic and differs from T. fimbriata in the narrower proximal section lacking diverticula, the long and conical medial diverticulum directed dorsally, and the short distal diverticulum bearing a massive claw-shaped cornutus. The female genitalia of T. brevis sp. n. differ clearly from T. fimbriata in the shorter anterior apophysis, the long and triangular postvaginal plate (it is elliptical in the congener), the narrower pyriform corpus bursae with a gelatinous protrusion situated latero-ventrally on the right side (vs. two broad lateral protrusions laterally on both sides in T. fimbriata), the lack of the lateral sclerotised pocket, in the right lateral protrusion of the corpus bursae, and the very short appendix bursae situated latero-anteriorly whereas it is well-developed conical and situated latero-ventrally in T. fimbriata .</p><p>Distribution.

The single female specimen from Khasi Hills (NE India, Meghalaya) (Fig. 69) has the female genitalia (Fig. 171) similar to T. brevis sp. n., which is closely related to T. swanni sp. n. For this reason, the specimen is treated herein as a possible female of T. swanni sp. n.</p><p>Diagnosis. The forewing length is 14.0 mm in the male holotype and 15.0 mm in the possible female. Teulisna swanni sp. n. is externally indistinguishable from the allopatric T. brevis sp. n. and is distinguished only by the genitalia structures. The male genital capsules of the two species are very similar but T. swanni sp. n. has a somewhat thicker pseudoampulla than in T. brevis sp. n. The phallus of T. swanni sp. n. is proximally broader and markedly shorter than in T. brevis sp. n. The main differences between the species are found in the vesica structures: compared to T. brevis sp. n., T. swanni sp. n. has a utricular subbasal diverticulum, a longer main chamber of the vesica, a somewhat shorter medial diverticulum, and a larger terminal cornutus in the distal diverticulum. In the female genitalia, the possible female of T. swanni sp. n. differs from T. brevis sp. n. in the broader and considerably shorter postvaginal plate, the narrower ductus bursae, and the somewhat more elongate, posteriorly broader and anteriorly more finely scobinate corpus bursae.</p><p>Distribution. The new species is known from Northern Myanmar (Kachin State) and possibly from Northeast India (Meghalaya).</p><p>Etymology. The species is named after Captain Arthur E. Swann, who collected not only the holotype of the new species but numerous other Heterocera in northern Myanmar in 1921–1923.

The female genitalia of the species-group are characterised by the corpus bursae clearly subdivided into the posterior and anterior sections by the medial constriction: the posterior section of the corpus bursae is heavily gelatinous with areas of sclerotisation while the anterior section is globular and membranous. The appendix bursae structure is diagnostic: in the T. tricolor species-group it is clavate with a proximally sclerotised and rugose proximal and a membranous dilated distal sections, whereas in other species-groups the appendix bursae is conical and membranous or gelatinous. Additionally, the 7 th abdominal sternite of the species-group has short rounded subostial lobes (also found only in T. sayinyingpo sp n. of the T. protuberans species-group).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F4087B7FFCBFFDE17E2F818FCBBFDFE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The forewing length is 13.5 mm in males and 14.5 mm in the female. Teulisna mingchyra sp. n. is externally distinguished from the similar T. spatula sp. n. by the smaller size, the straighter proximal half of the forewing costal margin (it is somewhat concave in T. spatula sp. n.), the shorter medial costal protrusion of the forewing, the more unicolorous and ochreous forewing ground colour, the markedly smaller proximal costal spot of the forewing, and the paler hindwing only slightly suffused with grey at the apex whereas in T. spatula sp. n., it is evenly suffused with grey medially and distally. The male genital capsule of T. mingchyra sp. n. differs from T. spatula sp. n. in the thicker and more strongly downcurved uncus, the distally broader valva, and the distally narrower distal saccular process. The phallus of T. mingchyra sp. n. is slightly broader than in T. spatula sp. n. The vesicae of the two species are similar but in T. mingchyra sp. n., the medial lateral diverticulum is longer, the distal diverticulum is broader, and the terminal cornutus is thicker than the corresponding structures of T. spatula sp. n. Compared to T. spatula sp. n., the female genitalia of T. mingchyra sp. n. have a longer ductus bursae, a narrower posterior sclerotised section of the corpus bursae lacking the ventral elliptical dilation, and a longer appendix bursae with a broader distal section. Additionally, the subostial depression of the 7 th abdominal sternite of T. mingchyra sp. n. is broad V-shaped whereas it is narrower, somewhat deeper and U-shaped in T. spatula sp. n.</p><p>Distribution.

INDIA: 1 female, Sikkim, 7000 ft., Aug. 1896, Pilcher / 99– 206., unique ID: NHMUK010292595 (NHMUK) .</p><p>Diagnosis. The forewing length is 13.0 mm in the male lectotype and 13.5 mm in females. Teulisna quadrisignata is most morphologically similar to T. thomasi, from which it differs externally in the somewhat smaller size, the slightly narrower forewing with a markedly darker, brown ground colour (it is deep ochreous in the congener), the more intense dark suffusion in the medial area of the forewing, the darker subterminal area with a diffuse submarginal line, and the larger proximal costal spot in the male. Additionally, the female of T. quadrisignata has a remarkably darker hindwing than in T. thomasi . In the male genital capsule, T. quadrisignata differs from T. thomasi in the nearly straight lamella centralis (it is downcurved in T. thomasi), the narrower distal saccular process with a smaller ventral lobe, and the somewhat shorter vinculum. The phallus of T. quadrisignata is proximally broader than in T. thomasi . The vesica of T. quadrisignata is markedly narrower than in the similar congener and has a proximal dorsal diverticulum (it is absent in T. thomasi); the proximal ventral diverticulum is shorter, and the terminal cornutus is considerably longer and nearly straight whereas it is medially curved in T. thomasi . Additionally, compared to T. thomasi, the medial ventral diverticulum of T. quadrisignata is longer and broader. The female genitalia of T. quadrisignata differ from T. thomasi in the shorter and narrower ductus bursae, the more medially constricted corpus bursae with a more rugose posterior gelatinous section having a ventral pocket, and a smaller anterior globular membranous section, and the conical and more rugose appendix bursae, which is saccate in T. thomasi .</p><p>Distribution.

VI .1998, Márton Hreblay &amp; Balázs Benedek leg., gen. slide. No.: CW 00092 ♂ (prepared by Volynkin) (MWM / ZSM) .</p><p>Diagnosis. Teulisna hreblayi is externally reminiscent of T. thomasi and T. quadrisignata but can be readily distinguished by the submarginal area of the forewing much less suffused with fuscous in both sexes. The male genital capsule of T. hreblayi differs from T. thomasi and T. quadrisignata in the broader dorsal section of the valva with a somewhat more convex dorsal margin, the lamella centralis bearing a robust spike-like process directed dorsally (it is thinner and directed more anteriorly in T. quadrisignata and vestigial in T. thomasi), and the markedly shorter ventral lobe of the distal saccular process. The phallus of T. hreblayi is considerably longer and broader (in proportion to the genital capsule) than in similar congeners. In the vesica structure, the new species is most similar to T. quadrisignata but distinguished by the longer and broader main chamber, the larger, sack-like and more heavily granulose 1st proximal diverticulum directed anteriorly (it is rather utricular and directed ventrally in the congener), the 2nd proximal diverticulum lacking graniculi, the longer, broader and more heavily granulose 1st medial diverticulum, the lack of the 2nd medial diverticulum, the longer and broader distal diverticulum bearing a markedly longer cornutus, and the larger apical diverticulum. The female genitalia of T. hreblayi are most similar to T. thomasi, from which the former species differs clearly in the shorter ductus bursae with convex lateral margins, the shorter and rugose posterior section of the corpus bursae with a gelatinous ventral diverticulum posteriorly (it is absent in the congener), the somewhat broader and globular anterior section of the corpus bursae displaced laterally on the left side (it is sack-like and situated anteriorly in T. thomasi), the longer signum, and the configuration of the appendix bursae, which in the new species is heavily sclerotised with a membranous apex, strongly elongate (longer than the corpus bursae), and has a dilated, semiglobular proximal section and a narrow, cylindrical and straight distal section whereas the appendix bursae of T. thomasi is sack-like and markedly shorter than the corpus bursae.</p><p>Distribution.
