Abstract: Torodora silvatica Park, 2007 Figs 1 E, F, 2 C Torodora silvatica Park, 2007: 23. Holotype male collected in Thailand, deposited at the University of Osaka Prefecture, Osaka, Japan (OPU). Thubana silvatica (Park): Park et al. 2013: 312. Thubana seimaensis Park, 2013: 312. Holotype male collected in Cambodia, deposited at the University of Incheon, Incheon, South Korea (UIK). Specimens examined. China • 1 ♂; Yunnan Prov., Menghai County, Nabanhe; 22.243 ° N, 100.599 ° E; 810 m elev.; 2–3 Aug. 2022; Shuai Yu & Kaijian Teng leg., in LCU • 1 ♂; Yunnan Prov., Jinghong City, Mt. Jinuo; 21.982 ° N, 100.889 ° E; 1425 m elev.; 6–7 Aug. 2022; Shuai Yu & Kaijian Teng leg.; slide no. LCU 218, in LCU • 1 ♂; Yunnan Prov., Jinghong City, Yexianggu; 22.100 ° N, 100.520 ° E; 852 m elev.; 8 Aug. 2022; Shuai Yu & Kaijian Teng leg.; slide no. LCU 217, in LCU. Description. Adult wingspan 16.0– 16.5 mm (Fig. 1 E). Distribution. China (Yunnan Province, new record), Cambodia, Thailand. Remarks. Park (2007) firstly described T. silvatica from Thailand, and he later transferred the species to Thubana Walker, 1864 (Park et al. 2013). Park et al. (2022) transferred Th. silvatica back to Torodora. An explanation for this reversal is given: “ the venation of forewing differs from that of the type species of Torodora, having M 3 and CuA 1 + 2 on a common stalk, as well as that of Thubana Walker, but it is no doubt that the forewing color pattern and the male genital characters are closer to the genus Torodora ” (Park et al. 2022: 368). We follow Park et al. ’ s treatment and concur with the taxonomic status of Torodora silvatica.
