\"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. H. bomdila, sp. n., from Arunachal Pradesh, India, HT ♂ to be deposited in MfNB. H. natmatoungensis, sp. n., from Chin State, W Myanmar, HT ♂ to be deposited in MfNB. H. dangi, sp. n., from Kontum Prov., S Vietnam, HT ♂ to be deposited in MfNB. H. mussoensis, sp. n., from Tak Prov., W Thailand, HT ♂ to be deposited in MfNB. And finally H. baliensis, sp. n., from Bali, Indonesia, HT ♂ in CMWM. All species including holotypes of the three previously known taxa are figured in colour. Preimaginals of only two of the taxa, H. grandis and H. mussoensis sp. n., are known and shown here for direct comparison. It appears that the larvae of most or all species of the genus are probably bamboo feeders.\"

\"A new genus of the family Eupterotidae, subfamily Eupterotinae, is erected: Strigognatha gen. n.; type species Sphingognatha khasiana Moore, 1879, by our designation. We introduce this new genus for a small group of species occurring in the eastern Himalaya and in some southern and eastern extensions into NE India, S China, Myanmar and N Thailand. The type species, Strig. khasiana (Moore, 1879), comb. n., was described in the genus Sphingognatha C. \& R. Felder, 1874, a second previously named member, S. strix (Bryk, 1944), comb. rev., is again removed from the original genus Apha Walker, 1855 applied by Bryk (1944) in error and other generic combinations.

Strig. thailandica Naumann \& N\ässig, 2023, sp. n., from Thailand, Chiang Mai Prov., HT ♂ to be deposited in MfNB.
