TL;DR: The genus Lemyra Walker, 1856 is widely distributed in Asia and includes more than 100 valid species, many of which were described during last three decades.
Abstract: The genus Lemyra Walker, 1856 is widely distributed in Asia. It is subdivided into two subgenera, Lemyra and Thyrgorina Walker, 1864 [1865] and includes more than 100 valid species, many of which were described during last three decades (Thomas 1990; Fang 1993; Inoue 1993; Tshistjakov & Kishida 1994; Kirti & Gill 2008; Cerný 2011; 2014; Cerny & Pinratana 2009; Dubatolov 2007; Kirti & Singh 2016; Saldaitis et al. 2018).

TL;DR: The genus Lemyra Walker, 1856 belongs to the tribe Arctiini of the subfamily ArCTiinae Leach, 1815 (family Erebidae Leach), and a number of new species was described by various authors since then.
Abstract: The genus Lemyra Walker, 1856 belongs to the tribe Arctiini of the subfamily Arctiinae Leach, 1815 (family Erebidae Leach, 1815). The genus was reviewed by Thomas (1990). Since then, a number of new species was described by various authors (Fang 1993; Inoue 1993; Tshistjakov & Kishida 1994; Kirti & Gill 2008; Cerný 2011; 2014; Cerny & Pinratana 2009; Dubatolov 2007; 2010; Kirti & Singh 2016; Saldaitis et al. 2018; 2019).

TL;DR: The findings reveal that the tiger moth fauna of the Flores Island has rather moderate level of endemism, with only 32% of putative endemic taxa.
Abstract: The Wallacean Region is considered a unique evolutionary hotspot, but the current knowledge of lepidopteran faunas on certain islands is very far from being complete. Here we present a preliminary checklist of the Arctiini fauna of the Flores Island based on available collection materials and a review of the body of literature. In total, for the island fauna we list 22 tiger moth species, with eight newly recorded species. Among novel records, local endemic Spilarctia mikeli Bolotov, Kondakov & Spitsyn sp. nov. and Aloa cardinalis danau Bolotov, Kondakov & Spitsyn ssp. nov. were discovered. Additionally, several taxa with broad ranges such as Amerila astreus , Creatonotos gangis , Euchromia horsfieldi , Lemyra maculifascia , Nyctemera distincta and Utetheisa pulchelloides were new for the island fauna. In general, 15 taxa are prospective endemic Wallacean elements, among which seven taxa are unknown outside the Flores Island: Orhantarctia cymbalophoroides , Lemyra everetti , L. floresina , Aethalida owadai floresiensis , Nyctemera scalarium regalis , Spilarctia mikeli sp. nov. and Aloa cardinalis danau ssp. nov. Our findings reveal that the tiger moth fauna of the Flores Island has rather moderate level of endemism, with only 32% of putative endemic taxa.
