\"The recently described genus Hampsonjana N\ässig \& Naumann, 2022 is revised to species level; the type species, H. pallidipennis (Hampson, 1895), and the other two previously known taxa H. grandis (Rothschild, 1917) and H. vitalisi (Cand\èze, 1927) were all described in the genus Pseudojana Hampson, 1893, a genus of completely different morphology placed outside the subfamily Eupterotinae within the \“Ganisa-Group\”. H. grandis, stat. rev., is removed from synonymy with H. pallidipennis and given species rank. Eight further species are described as new to science: H. haraldluxi, sp. n., from Laos, Thailand, SE Myanmar, and S China (Yunnan), HT ♂ in SMFL. H. yunnanensis, sp. n., from S China (Yunnan), HT ♂ to be deposited in MfNB. H. indica Giusti, Naumann \& N\ässig, sp. n., from Meghalaya and Assam, India, HT ♂ in NHMUK.

\"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.\"
