| Abstract: | "A revision of the genus Dahira (Moore, 1888) is proposed. Three new species from India, Arunachal Pradesh are described: Dahira melichari Haxaire sp. nov., Dahira soniae Haxaire & Melichar sp. nov., and Dahira haxairei Melichar sp. nov. In addition, Dahira obliquifascia siamensis Melichar & Haxaire ssp. nov. is described from southeast Asia, and Dahira yunnanfuana indicus Melichar & Haxaire ssp. nov. is described from Arunachal Pradesh. The genus Micracosmeryx Mell, 1922 placed into synonymy with Dahira and its type species, Micracosmeryx macroglossoides Mell, 1922, combined into that genus. Dahira farintaenia (Zhu & Wang 1997), previously placed in the genus Hayesiana Fletcher, 1982, is also transferred to Dahira. Dahira orlovi Zolotuhin & Ryabov, 2012 stat. nov. is raised to species status from a subspecies of Dahira pinratanai (Cadiou, 1991). Dahira obliquifascia baibarana (Matsumura, 1927) stat. rev., Dahira obliquifascia huangshana (Meng, 1982) stat. nov., Dahira rubiginosa fukienensis (Meng, 1989) stat. nov. and Dahira yunnanfuana montivaga Kernbach, 1966 stat. nov. are all reinstated from synonymy as subspecies of their respective species. Dahira plutenkoi (Brechlin, 2002) syn. nov. is placed into synonymy with Dahira kitchingi (Brechlin, 2000). The adults and male genitalia of all known species are illustrated." |
