B43F87E4FFDBE532D6E8FC45BB319B9B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The forewing length is 9.0 – 10.0 mm in males and 11.5 – 12.0 mm in females. Miltochrista megalytera sp. n. (Figs 1 – 4) is externally very similar to the sympatric M. setozia sp. n. (Figs 19 – 22) but distinguished by the somewhat narrower forewing with a slightly less elongate apex, and the medial transverse line of the forewing terminating at the costal margin more distally. The male genitalia of the new species (Figs 23, 24) are most similar to M. idiomorfa Volynkin, N. Singh, Černý, Kirti & Datta, 2022 (Figs 5 – 8) recently described from India, Myanmar and SW China, from which M. megalytera sp. n. externally differs by the larger discal spot of the forewing. Compared to M. idiomorfa (Figs 25, 26), the male genital capsule of the new species (Figs 23, 24) has a distally rounded valva (it is apically conical in the congener) with a narrower and less setose distal saccular process, and smaller latero-posterior serrulate processes of the juxta. The phallus of M. megalytera sp. n. is shorter than in M. idiomorfa (in proportion to the tegumen-vinculum complex). The vesica of the new species is more elongate than in M. idiomorfa and has more elongate and broader diverticula. In the female genitalia, M. megalytera sp. n. (Fig. 38) differs from M. idiomorfa (Fig. 39) in the markedly shorter antrum, and the smaller postero-lateral gelatinous diverticulum of the corpus bursae.	en	Volynkin, Anton V., Černý, Karel, Huang, Si-Yao (2022): Four new species of the genus Miltochrista Hübner from northern Indochina and Southwest China (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae).

B43F87E4FFDFE532D6E8FDD9BDE99F21.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The forewing length is 11.0 mm in males. Miltochrista nujiangia sp. n. (Figs 9, 10) is similar to M. dankana Volynkin, N. Singh, Černý, Kirti & Datta, 2022 (Fig. 11) but differs in the less medially curved medial transverse line of the forewing. In the male genital capsule, the new species (Figs 27, 28) is distinguished from M. dankana (Figs 29, 30) by the almost straight valva (it is medially upcurved in the congener) with a broader and rounded distal lobe (it is semi-elliptical in M. dankana), and the markedly shorter and thinner distal saccular process. Additionally, the sacculus of M. nujiangia sp. n. bears a short, narrowly triangular membranous protrusion at the base of the distal saccular process, which is absent in the congener. The phalli of the two species display no remarkable differences. The vesica configuration of M. nujiangia sp. n. is similar to M. dankana but in the new species, it is somewhat longer and has somewhat longer diverticula than in the congener. The female is unknown.	en	Volynkin, Anton V., Černý, Karel, Huang, Si-Yao (2022): Four new species of the genus Miltochrista Hübner from northern Indochina and Southwest China (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae).

B43F87E4FFDFE53ED6E8FA4FBD149826.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis of the female. The female of M. dankana (Fig. 12) is similar to the male (Fig. 11) but is larger, has a more elongate forewing with somewhat larger subterminal spots, and lacks blackish hair-like scales on the abdomen distally. Compared to the most similar M. straminea (Fig. 13), the female of M. dankana has a narrower dash-shaped discal spot of the forewing, and the somewhat longer waves of the postmedial line. The female genitalia of M. dankana (Fig. 42) differ from M. straminea (Fig. 43) in the markedly longer and heavily sclerotised ductus bursae having a rounded medial ventral depression of the margin of the ostium whereas it is short, membranous and with a rectangular ventral margin of the ostium in the congener. The corpus bursae of M. dankana is broader than in M. straminea and evenly covered with robust spinulose scobination medially and anteriorly whereas it bears two elliptical serrulate plates anteriorly connected by a broad cluster of spinulose scobination in the congener.	en	Volynkin, Anton V., Černý, Karel, Huang, Si-Yao (2022): Four new species of the genus Miltochrista Hübner from northern Indochina and Southwest China (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae).

B43F87E4FFD3E53ED6E8FD73BC809D8E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The forewing length is 9.0 – 11.0 mm in males and 13.0 – 13.5 mm in females. Miltochrista fluctuata sp. n. (Figs 15 – 18) is externally very similar to the sympatric M. megalytera sp. n. (Figs 1 – 4) and differs only in the more transversally directed discal spot of the forewing. In many cases, reliable identification requires the examination of the genitalia structures. In the male genitalia, M. fluctuata sp. n. is similar to M. etalina Volynkin, N. Singh, Černý, Kirti & Datta, 2022 (Fig. 14) recently described from Northeast India, from which the new species differs in the larger size and more distinct forewing markings. The male genital capsules of the two species display no remarkable differences and the main diagnostic features are found in the phallus and vesica structures. The phallus of M. fluctuata sp. n. (Figs 31 – 33) is dilated medially and distally whereas it is of uniform width in M. etalina (Fig. 34). In the vesica, the new species differs from M. etalina in the narrower main chamber, the presence of a ventral diverticulum bearing a dense cluster of short spinules, the presence of the long and broad subbasal diverticulum, the lack of the lateral cluster of spinules, and the markedly shorter distal diverticulum. Since the female of M. etalina is unknown, the female genitalia of the new species (Fig. 40) were compared with other similar species, i. e. M. setozia sp. n. (Fig. 41), M. megalytera sp. n. (Fig. 38) and M. idiomorfa (Fig. 39), from which M. fluctuata sp. n. differs clearly in the broad, heavily sclerotised and dorso-ventrally flattened ductus bursae, and the strongly elongate and curved, membranous appendix bursae whereas it is extremely short in the aforementioned congeners.	en	Volynkin, Anton V., Černý, Karel, Huang, Si-Yao (2022): Four new species of the genus Miltochrista Hübner from northern Indochina and Southwest China (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae).

B43F87E4FFD6E53AD6E8FF2ABB31996B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The forewing length is 10.0 – 11.0 mm in males and 12.0 – 12.5 mm in females. Miltochrista setozia sp. n. (Figs 19 – 22) is externally very similar to the sympatric M. megalytera sp. n. (Figs 1 – 4) and is distinguished only by the somewhat broader forewing with a slightly more elongate apex, and the medial transverse line of the forewing terminating at the costal margin more proximally. In many cases, reliable identification requires the examination of the genitalia structures. The male genitalia structure of the new species (Figs 35 – 37) is similar to the M. fluctuata sp. n. – M. etalina species pair (Figs 31 – 34) but the genital capsule differs clearly in the presence of the setose lobe on the ventral edge of the costa medially. Additionally, in M. setozia sp. n., the distal section of the valva is less elongate than in the aforementioned congeners, and the apex of the costa is protruding dorsad whereas the dorsal margin of the distal section of the valva is smoother in M. fluctuata sp. n. and M. etalina. The phallus of M. setozia sp. n. is somewhat shorter and narrower than in M. fluctuata sp. n. and M. etalina (in proportion to the tegumen-vinculum complex). The vesica configuration of the new species is most similar to M. fluctuata sp. n. but differs in the longer and broader ventral diverticulum bearing a cluster of graniculi whereas it bears a dense cluster of tiny spinules in the congener. Additionally, the distal diverticulum of M. setozia sp. n. is narrow and fingershaped whereas it is broader and conical in M. fluctuata sp. n. The female genitalia of M. setozia sp. n. (Fig. 41) are distinguished from M. fluctuata sp. n. (Fig. 40) in the shorter, gelatinous ductus bursae having a deep medial ostial incision ventrally whereas it is heavily sclerotised and with a smooth posterior margin in the congener. Additionally, the appendix bursae of the new species is very short and narrowly conical whereas it is strongly elongate, broad and loop-like curved in M. fluctuata sp. n.	en	Volynkin, Anton V., Černý, Karel, Huang, Si-Yao (2022): Four new species of the genus Miltochrista Hübner from northern Indochina and Southwest China (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae).

B43F87E4FFD6E53AD6E8FF2ABB31996B.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet originates from the Greek ‘ σετόζη’ meaning ‘ setose’ and refers to the setose lobe in the costa of the valva, which is characteristic of the species. The name is a noun in the nominative singular in apposition.	en	Volynkin, Anton V., Černý, Karel, Huang, Si-Yao (2022): Four new species of the genus Miltochrista Hübner from northern Indochina and Southwest China (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae).
