Notes on South-East Asian Limacodidae (Lepidoptera, Zygaenoidea) with one new genus and eleven new species

2009 
This article is devoted to the description and morphological review of seven small and poorly known limacodid genera from South-East Asia: Barisania Holloway, 1990, Pseudaltha Hering, 1931, Austrapoda Inoue, 1982, Euphlyctinides Hering, 1931, Pseudonagoda Holloway, 1990, Pseudidonauton Hering, 1931, and Atosioides Solovyev, gen. n. (Figs 1–24). Most of these genera were so far only known after a few specimens and are considered to be monotypic. The morphology of the species from these genera was poorly studied; male genitalia of several species were unknown, nor wing venation or other characters. As a result of the examination of the limacodid collections in MWM (see abbreviations below) and BMNH and the private collection of the author (CAS) a few interesting specimens were found in these genera. In addition, eleven undescribed species were found and one of these lead to the recognition of a new genus, Atosioides Solovyev, gen. n. with type-species Atosia rochei Holloway, 1986.
