Abstract

The nominal genera Mimocomma Warren, Polychorista Warren, and Parudea Swinhoe are synonymized with Thliptoceras, and Prophantis Warren is removed from synonymy. Twenty previously described nominal species are referred to Thliptoceras; of these, 12 are recognized as valid. The following nominal species are referred to Thliptoceras for the first time: Circobotys marginalis Hampson, from Crocidophora; Mimocomma fulvimargo Warren, from Crocidophora; Salbia althealis Walker, with its three synonyms, Botys cydipeialis Walker, Botys tisiasalis Walker, and Phycidicera manicalis Snellen, all from Deba; Botys gladialis Leech, from Crocidophora; Crocidophora rufitinctalis Hampson; Ebulea decoloralis Warren, from Loxostege; Pyrausta torridalis Hampson; Phlyctaenodes decoloralis sinensis Caradja, from Loxostege; Parudea fimbriata Swinhoe; Crocidophora artatalis Caradja; Botys fuscocilialis Snellen, from Pyrausta. Lectotypes are designated for: Hapalia cascalis Swinhoe; Thliptoceras variabile [-is] Swinhoe; Thliptoceras epicrocale [-is] Swinhoe; Circobotys marginalis Hampson; Botys gladialis Leech; Ebulea decoloralis Warren; and Crocidophora artatalis Caradja. Thliptoceras rufitinctale (Hampson) is sunk as a junior synonym of T. gladiale (Leech) and T. torridale (Hampson) as a junior synonym of T. decolorale (Warren). T. sinense (Caradja) is considered a distinct species and not a subspecies of T. decolorale (Warren). T. buettikeri is described as a new species from Thailand.
