Lophomilia diehli Kononenko & Behounek, 2009

Lophomilia diehli是夜蛾科(Noctuidae)長鬚夜蛾亞科(Hypeninae)的成員，目前已知分布於印尼、蘇門答臘與台灣。本種的前翅為褐色底，前緣末端沿外緣至後緣有一大塊黑褐色區域，頂角處有一塊橘斑，亞外緣有一條白線自前緣延伸至後緣，沿亞外緣白線內側有一肘狀黑線向翅基方向彎曲，後緣中央有兩條由橘與白組成的斑紋；後翅為灰色底，基部顏色較淡。過去，Lophomilia在台灣僅被紀錄一已知種─L. polybapta，而Kononenko & Behounek(2009)的研究裡也僅紀錄了L. polybapta與傅老師與左老師鞍馬山的蛾一書中一未確定種。不過根據林試所的標本紀錄，L. takao在台灣也有標本採集紀錄。L. diehli的種小名源自於Diehl，一位對蘇門答臘動物至貢獻甚大的學者。雖然本種是新紀錄種，其實已經有很多討論區與網站皆已經有本種的照片，只是過去被誤以為是L. takao。L. diehli與L. takao長相十分相似，除了生殖器上的差異外，翅紋有以下特徵可以辨識：1.前者亞外緣的白線與底色的對比較後者大；2.前者後翅後緣橘白斑紋較後者鮮明且發達。

A Brief Introduction

Lophomilia diehli, a noctuid species which is originally distributed in Indonesia and Sumatra, is now fisrtly recorded in Taiwan. In the revisional study of Lophomilia by Kononenko & Behounek and other previous studies, there are only two species, L. polybapta and an unidentified species, distributed in Taiwan. However, two unrecorded species were known in Taiwan, including Lophomilia diehli. Wing pattern of L. diehli and L. takao is very similar and could be identified by the following characters: 1. submarginal white line of L. diehli more contrast than the other; 2. orange-white band near the center of inner margin of L. diehli's forewing more contrast than the other.
