“…The cornuti of the phallus of these species are diverse and therefore useful for interspecific identification. Seizmair (2021) divided Bradina into seven groups according to wing pattern characteristics, such as forewing and hindwing of the same color or of different colors, and whether the postmedial line is absent or present, and in the latter case whether it is straight or curved. In our opinion, however, it is difficult to divide the genus based only on wing pattern and color, and it would be more convincing to divide it by combining the appearance and morphology of the genitalia.…”

Bradina is a species-rich genus that differs from most other Spilomelinae genera because of its distinctive wing venation. Most species of this genus are very similar in appearance. In this study, we have studied morphological characteristics of the genus and eight closely related species from China. Among them, B. falciculata Guo & Du, sp. nov., B. fusoidea Guo & Du, sp. nov., B. spirella Guo & Du, sp. nov., B. ternifolia Guo & Du, sp. nov. and B. torsiva Guo & Du, sp. nov. are described as new to science. Bradina megesalis (Walker, 1859), B. translinealis Hampson, 1896 and B. subpurpurescens (Warren, 1896) are redescribed based on their holotypes and additional material, and the latter two are newly recorded from China and their genitalia are described for the first time. The images of the habitus and genitalia of these eight species are provided, with a key to their identification.

“…Systematics research on Bradina is inadequate globally besides some early studies ( Hampson 1896 ; Hampson 1897 ; Yamanaka 1984 ; Du 2008 ). Seizmair (2021) recorded Bradina from the Arabian Peninsula and divided the genus into seven groups according to wing pattern.…”

Updates on the taxonomy and distribution of eleven species of the subfamily Spilomelinae Guinée, 1854 (Lepidoptera, Crambidae) are presented on the basis of samples collected in Oman (province Dhofar) and in south-western Saudi-Arabia (provinces Mekka and Asir) by the author. Three species are reported as new to the entomofauna of the Arabian Peninsula -Hydriris ornatalis (Duponchel, 1832), Dysallacta negatalis (Walker, 1859) and Arnia nervosalis Guinée, 1849. The presence of Leucinodes laisalis (Walker, 1859) on the Arabian Peninsula is re-confirmed. The species is furthermore reported as new to the entomofauna of Oman. Two further species are reported for the first time from Oman -Marasmia poeyalis (Boisduval, 1833) and Herpetogramma licarsisalis (Walker, 1859). Three species are reported as new to the entomofauna of Dhofar -Antigastra catalaunalis (Duponchel, 1833), Spoladea recurvalis (Fabricius, 1775), Duponchelia fovealis Zeller, 1847. The presence of Glyphodes onychinalis (Guenée, 1854) in Oman (Dhofar) and the presence of Nomophila noctuella (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) in Saudi-Arabia are re-confirmed. The male and female genitalia of Dysallacta negatalis (Walker, 1859) are described and figured for the first time. The male genitalia of Glyphodes onychinalis (Guenée, 1854) are redescribed and figured. The male and female genitalia of Leucinodes laisalis (Walker, 1859) and Nomophila noctuella (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775), the male genitalia of Herpetogramma licarsisalis (Walker, 1859) and Arnia nervosalis Guinée, 1849, the female genitalia of Marasmia poeyalis (Boisduval, 1833) and Duponchelia fovealis Zeller, 1847 are figured for diagnostic purposes. An updated checklist of the Spilomelinae Guinée, 1854 known till date from the Arabian Peninsula is presented.

Taxonomic and faunistic results are presented for three genera of the tribe Pyraustini Meyrick, 1890 of the subfamily Pyraustinae Meyrick, 1890 based on material from the southern Arabian Peninsula. The new genus Dysgrammodes gen.n. is established and placed in the tribe Pyraustini Meyrick, 1890. It shares synapomorphies in the male genitalia with the genera Loxostege Hübner, 1825, Circobotys Butler, 1897, Anania Hübner, 1823, and Pagyda Walker, 1859. Character states differentiating the new genus from these genera are listed. The genus is monotypical, with Dysgrammodes rubrifascialis sp.n. as its type species. Taxonomic and faunistic updates are given for the genera Pyrausta Schrank, 1802 and Anania Hübner, 1823. Pyrausta flavicilialis sp.n. is newly described and placed close to the Afrotropical species Pyrausta centralis Maes, 2009 and Pyrausta grisealis Maes, 2009. Pyrausta phoenicealis Hübner, 1818 is reported for the first time in Saudi Arabia. The presence of the genus Anania Hübner, 1823 is reported as new to the entomofauna of the Arabian Peninsula. The records are attributed to the new species Anania interruptalis sp.n. The new species is recognized as unique among the Afrotropical species of the genus in wing maculation and placed close to Anania murcialis (Ragonot, 1895), Anania hortulata (Linnaeus, 1758) and Anania shanxiensis (Yang & Landry, 2019
