Revisional notes on the genus Tagora Walker, 1855, stat. rev. as genus, with description of 18 new species (Lepidoptera: Eupterotidae, Eupterotinae)

"The genus Tagora Walker, 1855, stat. rev. as genus, is for the first time since its original description reestablished as a separate monophyletic genus (with generic synonym Mallarctus Mell 1930, syn. rev.), and its species are revised. We identified 23 species, 5 of these were already described before (with two additional synonyms), 18 are described here as new species. Two lectotypes are designated, one new and one revised synonymy are established. A checklist of all known taxa and summarising further information is found at the end of this publication. All holo- and lectotypes are figured in colour, as well as their corresponding specimens of opposite sex (if known), most male and female genitalia and diagnostic male abdominal pelt (8th sternites) structures. In addition to morphological characters we used results of the mtDNA barcoding campaign to define the often superficially very similar taxa."
