98295E03FFBBFFABFF56D7ACE38AF597.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Externally, adults of A. nigrubra sp. nov. have an unmistakable wing pattern consisting of a black ground color with a sandglass-shaped red medial band, which differs from the ground plan of other congeners while, on the other hand, somewhat resembling Disasuridia nakaoi Černý, 2016 (Figs 8, 11) from northern Thailand. However, the male genitalia of A. nigrubra sp. nov. differ distinctly from those of D. nakaoi by the absence of several important autapomorphies of Disasuridia such as the plate-like uncus, lateral subapical lobes of tegumen and strong lateral spine-like processes at the outer wall of aedeagus. On the contrary the male genitalia of the new species are similar to those of Asuridia species by sharing the densely setose medial costal process in the genitalia capsule and the large, hook-like curved diverticulum in the aedeagus vesica. Moreover, the new species can be readily distinguished from D. nakaoi by its totally black body and the reddish patch do not extending along dorsum and reaching the wing base (while in D. nakaoi the body is red thoroughly and the reddish patch extends along dorsum and reaches the wing base). The new species can also be distinguished from other Asuridia species by its male genitalia having the thick and stout uncus, which in other congeners is slender and more elongated.	en	Huang, Si-Yao, Volynkin, Anton V., Wang, Min, Fan, Xiao-Ling (2020): A remarkable new species of Asuridia Hampson, 1900 from China (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae: Lithosiini).

98295E03FFBBFFABFF56D7ACE38AF597.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet nigrubra is the combination of two Latin words, nigro (meaning black) and rubra (meaning red), and refers to the color of the wing pattern of the new species.	en	Huang, Si-Yao, Volynkin, Anton V., Wang, Min, Fan, Xiao-Ling (2020): A remarkable new species of Asuridia Hampson, 1900 from China (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae: Lithosiini).

98295E03FFBBFFABFF56D7ACE38AF597.taxon	discussion	Remarks. We place this species in the genus Asuridia due to its valva structure and aedeagus vesica having the same ground plan as in other Asuridia species. On the other hand, the relatively small size of A. nigrubra, its unusual wing pattern as well as the laterally thick and stout uncus are not seen in other Asuridia species with male genitalia known to us, what suggests the assumption that a new subgenus of Asuridia can be erected for A. nigrubra. Future study based on molecular methods may reveal its true systematic position within the genus.	en	Huang, Si-Yao, Volynkin, Anton V., Wang, Min, Fan, Xiao-Ling (2020): A remarkable new species of Asuridia Hampson, 1900 from China (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae: Lithosiini).

98295E03FFB8FFAEFF56D0B5E59EF04C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Hampson (1896) described Miltochrista nigriradiata based on a single female collected from Bhutan. Subsequently Hampson (1900) erected the genus Asuridia based on Ammatho carnipicta Butler and transferred M. nigriradiata to Asuridia. In the past two decades, A. nigriradiata was recorded from Chinese provinces of Hunan, Guangxi and Yunnan (Fang 2000) as well as Guangdong (Dubatolov et al. 2012). Judging by the original description and adult figure (Fang 2000), it is difficult to tell which species Fang’s specimens belong to due to the poor quality of the photos in Fang (2000), but possibly they belong to A. miltochristoides Rothschild, 1913 rather than to the true A. nigriradiata. Dubatolov et al. (2012) illustrated the male adult and genitalia of ‘ A. nigriradiata ’ from Mt. Nanling, and the male genitalia are most similar to those of A. rubripennis Inoue, 1988 (illustrated by Wu & Fu 2013: figs 11, 12). Taking into account the external differences between the A. nigriradiata holotype and the specimen illustrated by Dubatolov et al. (2012), it is most probably that the Guangdong population belongs to an undescribed species and also not to the true A. nigriradiata, but to prove it a comparative material from Himalaya belonging to A. nigriradiata is necessary. All these misidentifications also put forward a possibility that nigriradiata is a species only restricted to the Himalayan area, and all the records from China belong to other taxa.	en	Huang, Si-Yao, Volynkin, Anton V., Wang, Min, Fan, Xiao-Ling (2020): A remarkable new species of Asuridia Hampson, 1900 from China (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae: Lithosiini).
