Type species: Oreta (Rhamphoreta) eminens Bryk, 1943, by original designation. Burma [Myanmar]: north-east, Kimbaiti. Diagnosis. Watson (1967) presented a detailed description of Oreta. Holloway (1998) and Park et al. (2011) presented definitive apomorphic features of this genus. The main diagnostic features are summarized as follows: the moths are reddish, sometimes partly yellowish, or dark brown; often with a distinct oblique postmedial line from forewing apex to hind margin; usually with a well developed falcate forewing, which is occasionally not falcate or bifalcate; sometimes external sexual dimorphism is present. In the male genitalia, the uncus is broad, usually slightly bilobed, and occasionally totally bilobed; the gnathos is well developed, usually rod-shaped; the valva is small, very short to long, rounded, with a large spur or other process from the sacculus; the saccus is often distinctly expanded; the eighth abdominal sternite usually bears lateral processes. In the female genitalia, the rounded ovipositor lobes are simple or slightly bilobed, surrounded by sclerites. Forewing venation: areole present; R 1 diverging before upper angle of cell or from base of areole; R 2 and R 5 diverging near the distal part of the areole respectively, M 2 close to M 3. Hind wing venation: Sc+R 1 and Rs close to each other for a distance distal to upper angle of cell, then separate rapidly; M 2 close to M 3 or stalked with M 3. Biology. Larvae feed on Viburnum (Caprifoliaceae), Cinnamomum (Lauraceae) (Inoue 1982), Coffea, Mussaenda, Pavetta, Randia, Uncaria and Wendlandia (Rubiaceae) (Holloway 1998). Distribution. Abundant in the Oriental Region, rare in the Palaearctic, Nearctic and Australian Regions. Remarks. Watson (1967) recognized six species-groups based on external and genital characters: the rosea, insignis, extensa, fuscopurpurea, carnea and rubromarginata species groups. Most Chinese species fall into the rosea species group: O. vatama Moore, 1866, O. andrema Wilkinson, 1972, O. obtusa Walker, 1855, O. speciosa (Bryk, 1943), O. brunnea Wileman, 1911, O. shania Watson, 1967, O. loochooana Swinhoe, 1902, O. pulchripes Butler, 1877, O. turpis Butler, 1877, O. hoenei Watson, 1967, O. paki (Inoue, 1964), O. ancora Wilkinson, 1972, O. flavobrunnea Watson, 1967, O. pavaca Moore, 1866, O. trispinuligera Chen, 1985, O. trispina Watson, 1967, O. sanguinea Moore, 1879, O. liensis Watson, 1967, O. eminens (Bryk, 1943), O. inflativalva sp. nov. and O. angularis Watson, 1967. The extensa, fuscopurpurea, carnea, and insignis species groups contain only one Chinese species each. No species in the rubromarginata species group has been recorded in China. O. bilineata has not been placed into any known species group since the male is unknown. Many species in the rosea species group have two colour forms, named the yellow and brown and brown forms by Watson (1967). In the first form, the forewing is divided into two parts by the oblique postmedial fascia from apex to hind margin ��� the reddish brown to brown basal part (often pale brown or yellowish basally) and the distal yellow part (not including the brown marginal band); the hind wing has a small reddish brown basal part (sometimes with yellow base) and a large yellow distal part, sometimes with an apical band or patch. In the second form, there is no yellow coloration posterior to the postmedial fascia. Our work so far shows that O. obtusa, O. flavobrunnea, O. loochooana, O. pulchripes, O. trispina, O. liensis, O. brunnea, O. hoenei inangulata have two colour forms, while other species only have one form, either yellow and brown or brown. In the rosea species-group, the species from O. ancora to O. eminens, have a broad uncus, large and blunt valva, slender median process of gnathos, variously decorated sacculus (except in O. eminens), and a developed saccus. The aedeagus has a tapering to blunt posterior process, lacking cornuti on the vesica (except in O. pavaca)., Published as part of Song, Wenhui, Xue, Dayong & Han, Hongxiang, 2012, Revision of Chinese Oretinae (Lepidoptera, Drepanidae), pp. 1-36 in Zootaxa 3445 on pages 2-3, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.212981, {"references":["Walker, F.

O. speciosa is almost identical to O. obtusa on wing pattern, but usually has a more arcuate postmedial fascia on the male forewing. The male genitalia differ in the much broader valva, the broader and shorter uncus, and the slightly broader median process of the gnathos. The most distinctive difference is in the right sacculus, which bears two pointed processes, but only one in O. obtusa. The male genitalia of O. speciosa share with O. brunnea the short uncus, broad median process of the gnathos, and short and broad valva, but the saccular processes are more developed. In addition, the lateral processes on the posterior margin of sternite 8 are longer than in O. brunnea. Distribution. China (Henan, Hubei, Fujian, Sichuan, Tibet), Myanmar. Remarks. Bryk (1943) described O. speciosa based on material from Myanmar. Watson (1961) subordinated it as a subspecies of Psiloreta obtusa. Later (Watson 1967), he revised it as O. obtusa speciosa, synonymized the genus Psiloreta with Oreta, and added Fujian and Sichuan (Moupin, Tsien-tsuen, N. Chengdu) in the distribution of the species. At the same time, he described O. obtusa dejeani from Siao-lou in Sichuan, which is close to the above localities. He also noted that ���some Sichuan examples originated from localities close to those recorded for dejeani. The topography of this region is, however, one of steep-sided valleys which may serve to isolate speciosa from dejeani. ���. In the collection of IZCAS, specimens of speciosa and dejeani are present from Hanmi in M��dog, and Aniqiao and Yarang in M��dog, the distance between which being only 12 km. If speciosa were regarded as a subspecies of obtusa, this would effectively be a sympatric distribution of two subspecies. Since to substantial differences in the male genitalia of these two taxa, we conclude that O. obtusa speciosa should be separated as a distinct species. The holotype of O. hyalina is identical to that of O. speciosa on external features, and shows only minor differences in the male genitalia (the slenderer median process of the gnathos and longer saccus), and is therefore here synonymized with the latter species., Published as part of Song, Wenhui, Xue, Dayong & Han, Hongxiang, 2012, Revision of Chinese Oretinae (Lepidoptera, Drepanidae), pp. 1-36 in Zootaxa 3445 on page 7, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.212981, {"references":["Bryk, F.

Yunnan (IZCAS): Lijiang Yulongshan, 2950 m, 22.VII. 1962, coll. Song Shimei, 1 ��. Diagnosis. O. eminens is similar to O. extensa (in the extensa species-group) and O. fuscopurpurea on wing pattern. In O. eminens, the forewing apex is more protruding than in the other two species; the broad yellow postmedial line is inwardly concave above CuA 2, but much narrower and straighter in O. extensa and O. fuscopurpurea. The male genitalia are similar to those of O. liensis in the semicircular uncus, stick-like median process of the gnathos, the pointed distal-medial and ventral processes on the valva, and the almost quadrate saccus. However, O. eminens can be distinguished by the following characters: the valva is much longer than that of O. liensis; the distal-medial process on the valva is longer than the ventral one, while it is shorter than the latter in O. liensis. The female genitalia of these two species have a broad corpus bursae but without a signum. Distribution.

Oreta vatama Moore, 1866 Oreta vatama Moore, 1866, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond., 1865: 816. Neotype 3, India: Darjeeling (BMNH). Oreta obtusa Walker sensu Strand, 1911, in Seitz, Macrolepid. World, 2: 204, pl. 22: i. Diagnosis. On wing pattern, O. vatama is close to the yellow and brown form of O. obtusa, having a hooked and strong forewing apex. The apex is broader and truncate in O. vatama but blunt and slightly tapering in O. obtusa. The forewing outer margin is more protruding in O. vatama. The postmedial fascia on the forewing is more arcuate in O. vatama, a characteristic shared with O. speciosa. O. vatama has a much broader and more distinctly margined central band on the hind wing than O. obtusa and O. speciosa, but lacks the brown patch below the apical patch which is present in those two species. In the male genitalia, O. vatama is distinctive in the conspicuously bilobed saccus (indistinct in Fig. 53). Other structures are close to those of O. andrema, but the uncus is oval and narrowly excavated medially, while it is flat or shallowly concave on the posterior margin in O. andrema; the gnathos is a long narrow process, but broad and triangular in O. andrema; the valva is broad and short, rounded or truncate distally, bearing one broad, hairy, costal basal process and a narrow to broadly triangular, or pointed ventral process, whereas in O. andrema, the former process is shorter and pointed, and the ventral process is absent; the aedeagus of O. vatama is decorated with many small spines, a small pointed anterior process, and a distinct spinose cornutus, whereas in O. obtusa, it bears a strongly sclerotized, nearly ring-like sclerite, and a smaller and indistinct cornutus. The female genitalia have a small, round corpus bursae, and a developed ductus bursae. Distribution.

On wing pattern, O. angularis is unique within Oreta in the angled protrusions of the outer margin on vein M 3 of the forewing and vein Rs on the hind wing. They share the dark brown ground colour and lack of transverse lines on both wings with O. inflativalva sp. nov. In addition, the outer margin of the hind wing is straight. In the male genitalia, O. angularis is characterized by the long and slender process on the valva. The aedeagus has a transverse row of spines posteriorly, a large spinose patch diverging from the former, a posterior process, and two cornuti. The female genitalia are described here for the first time: the region surrounding the ostium is well sclerotized, appearing as a deep columniform tube, with the ventral margin much shorter than the dorsal margin; another smaller tube is present dorsally; the posterior apophyses are short, and the anterior apophyses long; the ductus bursae is narrow and short; the corpus bursae is broad, without signum.

See under the nominate subspecies. Distribution. China (Zhejiang, Hubei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou). Remarks. Chu & Wang (1987) described three species O. fusca, O. unichroma and O. zigzaga. The types of the former two species and some paratypes of the third species are almost identical to O. pavaca sinensis, with only small differences in the length of the forked processes of the sacculus, which can be regarded as variation within the subspecies. Since the type localities of O. fusca and O. unichroma are in the distribution area of O. pavaca sinensis, we refer them to O. pavaca sinensis. O. unilinea in Chu & Wang (1987, 1991), from Mt. Emei and Fujian, is a misidentification of O. pavaca sinensis. One paratype of O. asignis (from Sangang, Fujian) has also proved to be this subspecies., Published as part of Song, Wenhui, Xue, Dayong & Han, Hongxiang, 2012, Revision of Chinese Oretinae (Lepidoptera, Drepanidae), pp. 1-36 in Zootaxa 3445 on pages 19-20, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.212981, {"references":["Watson, A.

There are two forms of wing pattern in O. trispina, and both the yellow and brown forms are similar to O. liensis. In O. trispina, the forewing apex is more protruding; the oblique line from the apex to hind margin is more distinct than in O. liensis. The male genitalia are similar to O. ancora and O. flavobrunnea, but the valva is shorter in O. trispina. The valva has no distal process in O. trispina or O. ancora but two processes in O. flavobrunnea; the sacculus of these three species bears a forked process, but it diverges at the base and is decorated with small teeth in O. trispina and O. ancora, while it diverges at the middle and is smooth in O. flavobrunnea. In addition, O. trispina has another pointed process on the middle of the ventral margin of the valva, which is absent in the other two species. The posterior process of the aedeagus is blunt in O. trispina, but tapering and pointed in O. flavobrunnea, and very large and blunt in O. ancora. Distribution. China (Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, Sichuan). Remarks. Some material published in Chu & Wang (1987, 1991) under O. trispina is referrable to O. flavobrunnea (Yunnan) and O. extensa (Fujian), no specimen of trispina has been found from Shanxi. The material from Gansu and Ningxia has slight differences in the male genitalia. The former (Fig. 72) has asymmetrical saccular processes with two spines on the ventral process of the left, and two spines at the base of the diverging branches on the right. The latter (Fig. 73) has symmetrical saccular processes on both valvae, and each bears four spines at the base of the diverging branches. In addition, the posterior process of the aedeagus is longer and blunt in the former, but short and truncate in the latter., Published as part of Song, Wenhui, Xue, Dayong & Han, Hongxiang, 2012, Revision of Chinese Oretinae (Lepidoptera, Drepanidae), pp. 1-36 in Zootaxa 3445 on page 16, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.212981, {"references":["Watson, A.

Externally three subspecies of O. hoenei can be differentiated by the degree of the falcate forewing apex and the protrusion of the hind wing outer margin. In O. hoenei tienia, the forewing apex is most strongly falcate, and the outer margin of the hind wing protrudes more strongly than in the other two subspecies. The outer margin of the forewing in O. hoenei hoenei is more convex than in O. hoenei inangulata, but less so than in O. hoenei tienia. In the male genitalia, the leaf-like sacculus is more developed in O. hoenei hoenei, a little narrower in O. hoenei inangulata, and smaller in O. hoenei tienia. Distribution. China (Heilongjiang, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu). Remarks. In the original description of O. trianga Chu & Wang (1987) the figured male genitalia belongs to Spectroreta hyalodisca rather than to the type specimen of O. trianga. We refer the holotype of O. trianga to O. hoenei hoenei, and the paratype to O. loochooana., Published as part of Song, Wenhui, Xue, Dayong & Han, Hongxiang, 2012, Revision of Chinese Oretinae (Lepidoptera, Drepanidae), pp. 1-36 in Zootaxa 3445 on page 13, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.212981, {"references":["Watson, A.

Oreta griseotincta is close to O. carnea (Sundaland) on both external and genital characters, and is difficult to distinguish. The forewing apex is more elongate and hooked in O. griseotincta. The male genitalia of the two species share the following characters: the uncus and socii are very small, well sclerotized, the former slightly swollen, and the latter roundly expanded; the median process of the gnathos is strongly developed, rhombic; the valva is slender; the sacculus is also slender but shorter than the valva; the saccus is well developed; the aedeagus is bent and U-shaped. In O. griseotincta, the uncus together with the socii is broader than in O. carnea; the median process of the gnathos is broader; the sacculus is narrower and round distally in this species, but broad and flat in O. carnea. In the female genitalia, the sclerotization of the area surrounding the ostium is more complex than in O. carnea. Distribution. China (Taiwan, Hainan, Hong Kong, Yunnan), India, Malaysia, Singapore. Remarks. The nominate subspecies is distributed in China and India, and O. griseotincta acutior, with the gnathos and the valva narrower, is distributed in Malaysia and Singapore., Published as part of Song, Wenhui, Xue, Dayong & Han, Hongxiang, 2012, Revision of Chinese Oretinae (Lepidoptera, Drepanidae), pp. 1-36 in Zootaxa 3445 on pages 27-28, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.212981, {"references":["Hampson, G.

Lang Songyun, 13; M��dog, Yarang, 1091 m, 20���23.VIII. 2006, coll. Lang Songyun, 131 ��. Diagnosis. O. obtusa dejeani is almost identical to the nominate subspecies on wing pattern and genitalia. The only difference lies in the lateral processes on the posterior margin of sternite 8, which are gradually pointed in O. obtusa obtusa, are much broader and more expanded in O. obtusa dejeani. Distribution. China (Hainan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Tibet). Remarks. From the collection data, two colour forms of O. obtusa dejeani are both active from May to August and sympatric. O. sinuata and the holotype and allotype of O. asignis are respectively identical to the yellow and brown form of O. obtusa dejeani on both wing pattern and genital characters, and are consequently synonymized herein. One paratype of O. asignis from Sangang, Fujian belongs to O. pavaca sinensis. Taking in account of very small differences from Oreta obtusa obtusa, the taxonomic separation of Oreta obtusa dejeani is somewhat questionable., Published as part of Song, Wenhui, Xue, Dayong & Han, Hongxiang, 2012, Revision of Chinese Oretinae (Lepidoptera, Drepanidae), pp. 1-36 in Zootaxa 3445 on pages 6-7, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.212981, {"references":["Watson, A.

This subspecies can be differentiated from the following subspecies by the shape of the male genitalia. The length and width of whole male genitalia of O. vatama acutula are approximately equal, but the former is distinctly longer than the latter in O. vatama tsina, and the ratio of the length to width of the male genitalia is 15.3: 14 in O. vatama acutula and 13: 9 in O. vatama tsina. In O. vatama acutula, the uncus is narrower. The valva is longer in O. vatama acutula but shorter in O. vatama tsina. In addition, the ventral process of the valva is much larger in O. vatama acutula. Distribution.

O. trispinuligera resembles O. trispina in the deeply hooked fore wing apex, and distinctly protruding outer margin on both wings. However, the hollow under the apex is more deeply concave and the outer margin is more protruding in O. trispinuligera. The ground colour of O. trispinuligera is dark brown, but reddish brown and with two colour-forms in O. trispina. The male genitalia are close to those of O. sanguinea and O. liensis by almost oval uncus, not concave medially; the median process of the gnathos is slender and straight; the valva bears small pointed processes. However, in O. trispinuligera three pointed processes are present, with the posterior two longer, and the anterior one shorter; whereas in O. sanguinea and O. liensis, only the anterior two processes are distinct, with the anterior one much longer. In addition, the saccus is much broader in O. trispinuligera than in O. sanguinea and O. liensis. The female genitalia have a spinose signum in the corpus bursae. Distribution. China (Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Hubei, Fujian, Guangxi, Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan). Remarks. The species O. ankyra Chu & Wang, 1991, which was originally named as O. ancora Chu & Wang, 1987, a homonym of O. ancora Wilkinson 1972, was found to be identical to O. trispinuligera on both external and genital characters, and is therefore synonymized here. The anterior process on the valva of O. ankyra (Fig. 82) is present in the preparation shown, but since it overlaps the middle process on both left and right valvae, it is not clearly visible on the figure., Published as part of Song, Wenhui, Xue, Dayong & Han, Hongxiang, 2012, Revision of Chinese Oretinae (Lepidoptera, Drepanidae), pp. 1-36 in Zootaxa 3445 on page 21, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.212981, {"references":["Chen, X-Y.

Oreta hoenei Watson, 1967 Oreta hoenei Watson, 1967, Bull. Br. Mus. nat. Hist. (Ent.), 19 (3): 172. Holotype 3, China: S. Shensi, Tapaishan im Tsinling (ZFMK). Diagnosis. O. hoenei is close to O. loochooana, and occurs in two forms. Compared to O. loochooana, O. hoenei has the forewing apex more distinctly falcate, the forewing outer margin being more deeply concave under the apex, and more protruding medially. O. hoenei is also close to O. paki on both external (the brown form) and genital characters, and cannot be distinguished externally. In the male genitalia, the sacculus is much broader, leaflike, and bears a small spine in O. hoenei, while it is narrowly pointed and bears two smaller spines in O. paki, and is smooth and slender in O. loochooana. The end of the aedeagus of O. hoenei is ringed with spines, with a posterior digitate process, but lacks spines or a process in O. paki. The female genitalia of O. hoenei, O. paki and O. loochooana all have a large corpus bursae and a spinose signum. Distribution.

Chai Huaicheng, 1 ��. Yunnan (IZCAS): Lijiang, Yulongshan, 30.VIII. 1962, coll. Song Shimei, 1 ��. Diagnosis. On wing pattern, O. liensis is close to O. trispina except for the evenly convex hind wing outer margin and the distinct black subtornal patch on the forewing. The male genitalia are close to those of O. sanguinea in that the uncus is broad and rounded, the median process of the gnathos is straight, the valva is broad and round, bearing a reversely pointed terminal process, the sacculus has a long process, the saccus is broad, with anterior margin truncate, and the aedeagus has posterior part in the form of a process. The main differences in the male genitalia between these two species are: the length of the sacculus, which is shorter in O. sanguinea but longer in O. liensis; the median process of the gnathos, which is narrower and pointed in O. liensis but broader and blunt in O. sanguinea; the saccus, which is more quadrate in O. sanguinea. In addition, the posterior margin of sternite 8 is flat in O. sanguinea but medially concave in O. liensis. The female genitalia lack a signum in both species.The female genitalia of O. liensis are illustrated and described here for the first time: the posterior apophyses are very short, and the anterior apophyses are long. The ostium bears lateral opercular structures. The wide ductus bursae is extremely short, and the corpus is broad, without signum. Distribution.

The wing pattern resembles the brown form of O. paki, which is externally indistinguishable. Two species can be differentiated by the male genitalia. In O. turpis, the uncus is broader, the valva shorter, and the long sacculus smooth and without teeth, while in O. paki, the uncus is narrower, the valva longer, and the long sacculus bears two small teeth. The aedeagus of O. turpis bears a twisted and protruding sclerite, which is a developed dorsal sclerite in O. paki. The median process of the gnathos in O. turpis is much longer, the length being about two-thirds that of the sacculus, while in O. paki it is much shorter, with length less than half the length of the sacculus. In the female genitalia, the signum is situated more basally than in O. paki. Distribution.

O. insignis is the only species in China belonging to the insignis -group. O. insignis shares a brown postmedial line from the forewing apex to hind margin with O. andrema, O. pavaca, O. trispinuligera, O. paki, O. hoenei and O. bilineata. O. bilineata has a distinct antemedial line on the forewing, which is indistinct in O. insignis. The forewing outer margin is less protruding than in O. hoenei, O. paki or O. trispinuligera. The white decorations near the discal cell are present in O. andrema but lacking in O. insignis and O. pavaca. The areas on either side of the postmedial line are unicolorous in O. insignis but much deeper inside the postmedial line in O. pavaca. The male genitalia differ from other Chinese species in the long saw-like valva and the large triangular basal process. The female genitalia have a signum in the corpus bursae. Distribution.

O. pavaca pavaca is identical to O. pavaca sinensis on wing pattern. In the male genitalia, the posterior part of the aedeagus is smooth in the nominate subspecies but spined in O. pavaca sinensis, and the lateral posterior processes on the sternite 8 are longer and bent inwards in O. pavaca pavaca but shorter and straight in O. pavaca sinensis. Distribution. China (Yunnan, Tibet), India, Nepal. Remarks. The external and genital characters of O. zigzaga Chu & Wang are identical to those of O. pavaca pavaca, and the two are therefore synonymized here. The specimens from Dahaoping, Tengchong, Yunnan, has the valva similar to that of O. pavaca sinensis, but the aedeagus similar to O. pavaca pavaca: the protruding sternite 8 is not identical to either of the two subspecies.

Wuyi, 12.IX. 1982, coll. Zhang Baolin, 13; Mt. Wuyi, Sangang, 700 m, 9.VII. 2006, coll. Wang Jiashe, 23. Diagnosis. Compared to other congeneric Chinese species, O. shania has a much narrower brown medial shade interior to the postmedial line on the forewing. O. shania, together with O. loochooana, and O. pulchripes has a round black subtornal patch on the fore wing hind margin. However, the forewing colour inside the oblique postmedial fascia is yellow in O. shania but reddish brown to brown in the other two species; the hind wing outer margin is evenly convex in O. shania and O. loochooana, but sinuous in O. pulchripes. The male genitalia of O. shania are similar to those of O. pulchripes in the expanded and tapering uncus base, the very slender median process of the gnathos, the broad and rounded valva, the sacculus with strongly sclerotized process, and the unmodified saccus. But they differ by following characters: the distal part of the uncus is much narrower and more pointed in O. shania but blunt in O. pulchripes; the median process of the gnathos is much longer in O. shania than in O. pulchripes; the sacculus bears a large broad sclerite with margin decorated with small pointed teeth in O. shania, but a long hooked and smooth process in O. pulchripes; the aedeagus is gradually and slightly sclerotized towards the posterior, without a distinct cornutus in O. shania, but well sclerotized and with two cornuti in O. pulchripes. The lateral processes on the posterior margin of sternite 8 are narrow in O. shania but very broad and flat in O. pulchripes. Distribution. China (Zhejiang, Fujian, Sichuan). Remarks. Chu & Wang (1987) described O. bimaculata and O. cera, both from Mt. Wuyi, Fujian. We find these two species identical to O. shania on both external and genital characters, and therefore synonymize them here., Published as part of Song, Wenhui, Xue, Dayong & Han, Hongxiang, 2012, Revision of Chinese Oretinae (Lepidoptera, Drepanidae), pp. 1-36 in Zootaxa 3445 on pages 8-9, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.212981, {"references":["Watson, A.
