Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Background: Walker, 1854 is characterised by a vivid ground colour and an intricate pattern of white spots on the forewing, which often complicates species-level identification. Currently, only 52 species have been reported worldwide, with 20 species are known from the Oriental Region. New information: Meyrick, 1908, are newly recorded in Laos for the first time, supported by morphological characteristics and DNA barcodes.
