Abstract

The present paper describes a new species of Notodontidae Subniganda bambusoides Mazumder & Schintlmeister sp. nov. from the Himalayan and northeastern landscapes of India and Nepal. It also provides a comparative diagnosis with its congeners S. tristan (Schintlmeister, 1997) and S. isolde (Schintlmeister, 1997) along with detailed morphological and genitalic illustrations.
