\"The following contribution to knowledge the family Brahmaeidae SWINHOE, 1892 (Lepidoptera) is actually based on the bibliographical work \“Brahmaeidae of the World\” by U. Paukstadt \& L. H. Paukstadt (2021). During the extensive review of about 400 related papers and comparisons of the scientific names with the BOLD TaxonID Tree, which has been assisted by Eric van Schayck, it was noticed that some groups of the Tree could not be assigned to any previously known species. Associated taxa were therefore considered to be partly undescribed. Consequently new taxa of the subgenus Shinocksiceras BOUYER, 2002 of the Afrotropical genus Dactyloceras MELL in Hering in Seitz, 1927 (Lepidoptera: Brahmaeidae) are herewith described as new for science. Dactyloceras (Shinocksiceras) vumbaensis sp. nov. from Zimbabwe and Dactyloceras (Shinocksiceras) vumbaensis paravumbaensis subsp. nov. from Zambia are related taxa within the neumayeri-group (sensu Paukstadt \& Paukstadt 2021). Dactyloceras (Shinocksiceras) siriae sp. nov. from Ethiopia and Dactyloceras (Shinocksiceras) juliae sp. nov. from northern Uganda are members of the neumayeri-group, too. The species are well genetically separated in the BOLD TaxonID Tree, though the external morphologies are almost similar. During the preparation of \“Brahmaeidae of the World\” it was already established that several new names proposed from 2002 onwards were based on rather inadequate descriptions and with, if at all, inaccurate figures of the male genital structures. So far there are only two complete and good illustration of the male genital structures of taxa of this genus to be found in literature (D. richinii BERIO, 1940 and D. neumayeri (PAGENSTECHER in Gerstaecker in Fischer, 1885 [\“1882-1883\”])). We consider that the numerous rough sketches of the genitalia structures of taxa of the genus Dactyloceras provided in literature to be rather insufficient for scientific purposes. There were also hardly any comparisons with traditional older names of this genus so far. Therefore, descriptions of taxa new for science within the genus Dactyloceras are difficult rather at the time being. Nevertheless, the descriptions in this paper, the attached color figures of at least the holotypes, figures of the male genitalia structures including its details, and comparisons to other related species should allow the reader to identify the taxa in question. The collective-group name neumayeri-group (sensu Paukstadt \& Paukstadt 2021) is hereby used tentative for certain assemblages of taxonomic convenience.\"

\"The taxonomic status of the famous Malagasy hawkmoth known as \“Darwin\’s Moth\” or \“Wallace\’s Sphinx Moth\” is revised after a thorough integrative study combining comparative analyses of morphological characters (\"habitus\", genitalia, proboscis length, etc.) and molecular data (DNA barcoding essentially). While the existence of this long-tongued, large moth in Madagascar had been predicted by Charles DARWIN (in 1862), who considered such insect as the probable pollinator of the endemic, long-spurred orchid Angraecum sesquipedale Thouars, 1822, the discovery and description of this moth occurred about two decades after Darwin\’s death. it was named praedicta by Lord Walter ROTHSCHILD and Karl JORDAN, in 1903, in reference to Alfred Russel WALLACE\&$\#$39;\’s prediction (in 1867, about a hawkmoth pollinator) and has always been regarded, until now, as a subspecies of Xanthopan morganii (Walker, 1856), a species known to occur in the continental afrotropical region (remarkably, the hawkmoth species envisioned by WALLACE to be a possible close relative of the hypothetical pollinator of A. sesquipedale). We propose to raise the taxon praedicta to species rank on account of several clear-cut morphological differences and a high genetic divergence (ca. 7.8 \% for the DNA barcode) with the African and Comorian taxon X. morganii. Delimiting species with such criteria is indeed presently considered an appropriate method in the case of allopatric taxa (within the framework of the Biological Species Concept). Our work reveals that the proboscides of Xanthopan morganii and Xanthopan praedicta differ significantly in average length (with a difference of ca. 6.6 cm), suggesting a probable adaptation to different sets of visited flower species.\"

\"Recent observations and discoveries on the Asian members of the\  genus Polyptychus, (H\übner, [1819]) are summarised, with a particular focus on the subspecies of Polyptychus trilineatus (Moore, 1888), based on long series of specimens from India, south-east Asia and Indonesia, including most of the type localities. Conclusions are mostly based on large numbers of morphological observations, together with the results of DNA barcode analysis. We propose the following changes in the taxonomy of the group: Polyptychus trilineatus costalis Mell, 1922 syn. nov., Polyptychus trilineatus mincopicus Jordan, 1930 syn. nov., and Polyptychus trilineatus kelanus Jordan, 1930 syn. nov., are considered as synonyms of Polyptychus trilineatus. The following taxa, previously treated as subspecies of Polyptychus trilineatus, are accorded species status: Polyptychus luteatus Rothschild and Jordan, 1903 stat. nov., Polyptychus sonantis Jordan, 1930 stat. rev., Polyptychus celebensis Clark, 1929 stat. nov., Polyptychus philippinensis Rothschild and Jordan, 1903 stat. nov. and Polyptychus javanicus Gehlen, 1931 stat. nov. Consequently, there are now no subspecies recognized in Polyptychus trilineatus.
The four subspecies of Polyptychus chinensis Rothschild \& Jordan, 1903 are discussed. Based on both morphological observations and the results of DNA barcode analysis, Polyptychus chinensis draconis Rothschild \& Jordan 1916 syn. nov., Polyptychus chinensis draconoides Mell, 1935 syn. nov. and Polyptychus chinensis shaanxiensis Brechlin, 2008 syn. nov. are placed in synonymy with P. chinensis.\"

\"In this study, we examine a recent sample containing two hawk moth species (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) from Praslin and Mah\é, Seychelles. It was widely accepted that the hawk moth species Temnora peckoveri (Butler, 1876) has a disjunctive range covering Madagascar and the Inner Seychelles. However, the Seychelles population of what was thought to be Temnora peckoveri shares a set of diagnostic morphological differences from both this species and T. fumosa (Walker, 1856) in the male genitalia structure. In particular, it remotely resembles Temnora fumosa based on the structure of aedeagus but differs from T. fumosa and T. peckoveri with respect to the harpe shape. Based on this evidence, we describe Temnora fumosa seychellensis Bolotov \& Spitsyn ssp. nov. as a subspecies with restricted range, being endemic to the Inner Seychelles. The range of this subspecies covers Praslin (first record), Mah\é, Silhouette, La Digue, Cousine, and Denis. Additionally, we report on recent occurrences of Agrius convolvuli (Linnaeus, 1758) from Praslin (second record) and Mah\é. The adult moths were recorded feeding on inflorescences of Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia Baker (Asparagaceae) for the first time.
