Abstract

Taxa of the Barsine delineata (Walker, 1854) species-complex are examined, the synonymy of Ammatho figuratus Walker, 1855, Cyme chinensis C. Felder & R. Felder, 1862 and Ammatho fuscescens Butler, 1877 with Hypoprepia? delineata Walker, 1854 is revised. The new synonymy is introdiced: Barsine delineata (Walker, 1854) = Miltochrista dimidiata Fang, 1991, syn. nov. A new species, Barsine sublucana Volynkin & Černý, sp. nov. is described from northern Thailand. Adults, male and female genitalia of B. delineata and B. sublucana sp. nov. are illustrated.
