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; Černý 2011; 2014; Černy & Pinratana 2009; Dubatolov 2007; 2010; Kirti & Singh 2016; Saldaitis et al. 2018; 2019).
