“…This taxonomic treatment was followed by Kirti and Sodhi (2001) and Rose (2002). However, members of the genus Nagiella have been placed in various genera, namely Pleuroptya Meyrick, 1890, Syllepte Hübner, 1823, Patania Moore, 1888 (Inoue 1982; Wang, 1980; Li et al 2009; Xu 2015; Irungbam et al 2016; Kirti et al 2016). Leraut (1997) also listed Nagiella as a junior synonym of Pleuroptya .…”

Nagiella occultalis Misbah & Yang, sp. n. from China is described and illustrated. This new species is very similar to N. quadrimaculalis (Kollar, 1844) in general morphological characters of forewing and male genitalia. Molecular evidence shows that these two species diverge in COI barcode region by more than 3.2%. Sequence divergence among the two species is congruent with subtle morphological differences. Wing venation and male genitalia of the two species are compared and illustrated.

“…Modern hydrobiologists seem to have neglected ecological studies of freshwater caterpillars. Most of the recent studies focus on taxonomy and biodiversity inventories, although some regions remain poorly explored (e. g. Chen et al, 2010;Schmitz and Rubinoff, 2011;Agassiz, 2012Agassiz, , 2014Scholtens and Solis, 2015;Irungbam et al, 2016). The few ecological studies that have been published during the last 15 years often addressed the biology of the already relatively well-studied and common, mostly European species such as C. lemnata or A. ephemerella (e.g.…”

This paper reviews the current knowledge on the ecology of aquatic and semi-aquatic moths, and discusses possible pre-adaptations of the moths to the aquatic environment. It also highlights major gaps in our understanding of this group of aquatic insects. Aquatic and semi-aquatic moths represent only a tiny fraction of the total lepidopteran diversity. Only about 0.5% of 165 000 known lepidopterans are aquatic; mostly in the preimaginal stages. Truly aquatic species can be found only among the Crambidae, Cosmopterigidae and Erebidae, while semi-aquatic forms associated with amphibious or marsh plants are known in thirteen other families. These lepidopterans have developed various strategies and adaptations that have allowed them to stay under water or in close proximity to water. Problems of respiratory adaptations, locomotor abilities, influence of predators and parasitoids, as well as feeding preferences are discussed. Nevertheless, the poor knowledge on their biology, life cycles, genomics and phylogenetic relationships preclude the generation of fully comprehensive evolutionary scenarios.

“…Details of the moth trapping sites in these districts with Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates along with the map are provided in our previous publication (Irungbam et al 2016). The moths were collected using fluorescent bulbs on a white cloth sheet hanging and mercury vapor (MV) light traps at night (Irungbam et al 2016).…”
