Abstract

The genus Paranthrene Hübner was thought to be represented in Japan by four species, ferale (Leech), pernix (Leech), regale (Butler), and purpurea Yano, but study of the larvae suggest that regale (= yezonica Matsumura) and purpurea are in the genus Nokona Matsumura and pernix is near or in Vitacea Engelhardt. The larvae of ferale Leech have not been examined. Nokona is raised from subgeneric status.
