0D3E87A9FFB5272BBAEDFC6F2A2DC66B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Limbobotys Munroe & Mutuura, 1970 (Figs. 1 – 18 in the present study), is very similar to the genus Torulisquama Zhang & Li, 2010 (Zhang & Li 2010, p. 319 – 323, Figs. 1 – 9), but it can be distinguished by the following characters: In males, the forewing has two foveae in the basal and median areas (whereas Torulisquama has a semi-transparent area at the base of the forewing), and the ventral side of the forewing bears two scale tufts (whereas Torulisquama has a large cluster of scales). In the male genitalia, the sella is strongly bilobed and exhibits varied morphological forms (whereas Torulisquama has a nearly rectangular, non-bilobed sella); the editum is simple or absent (whereas Torulisquama has sparse, specialized setae). In the female genitalia, the corpus bursae typically bears sclerites near the cervix of the bursae (whereas Torulisquama usually lacks them).	en	Ko, Jae-Ho, Bayarsaikhan, Ulziijargal, Kim, Jae Won, Bae, Yang-Seop (2025): The genus Limbobotys Munroe & Mutuura, 1970 (Lepidoptera, Crambidae, Pyraustinae) from Laos, with the description of a new species and a newly combined species.

0D3E87A9FFB5272BBAEDFC6F2A2DC66B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The genus is newly recorded from Laos in the present study. The discovery of a new species within this genus reaffirms that the foveae on the dorsal side of the forewing and the scale tufts on the ventral side are distinctive morphological features (Figs. 1 – 10). Additionally, the varied, bilobed, or modified forms of the sella and the obliquely truncated distal end of the phallus in the male genitalia (Figs. 11 – 15), along with the presence of sclerites near the cervix of the bursae in the female genitalia, are consistent across all species (Figs. 16 – 18). These traits are regarded as the most distinctive and defining characteristics of the genus.	en	Ko, Jae-Ho, Bayarsaikhan, Ulziijargal, Kim, Jae Won, Bae, Yang-Seop (2025): The genus Limbobotys Munroe & Mutuura, 1970 (Lepidoptera, Crambidae, Pyraustinae) from Laos, with the description of a new species and a newly combined species.

This species is morphologically similar to L. digitatus sp. nov., but it can be distinguished by the following characteristics: the median fascia of the forewing is zigzag, with a brown marginal shade except for a reddish-yellow oviform mark near the apex. In the male genitalia, the valva is narrower than that of L. digitatus sp. nov.; the sella is not bilobed, ovoid, setose (editum); the phallus has a spine-shaped cluster of cornuti at the apical part. In the female genitalia, the antrum is not sclerotized; the ductus bursae is narrower than that of L. digitatus sp. nov.; the corpus bursae is ovoid, lacking sclerites near the cervix of the bursae.	en	Ko, Jae-Ho, Bayarsaikhan, Ulziijargal, Kim, Jae Won, Bae, Yang-Seop (2025): The genus Limbobotys Munroe & Mutuura, 1970 (Lepidoptera, Crambidae, Pyraustinae) from Laos, with the description of a new species and a newly combined species.

0D3E87A9FFBE2720BAEDFE3E2CE5C530.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species is similar to L. digitatus sp. nov. in wing patterns, but it can be distinguished by the following characteristics: the apex of the narrow forewing is pointed (wide forewing with apex rounded in L. digitatus sp. nov.); the termen is strongly oblique and straight (relatively rounded in L. digitatus sp. nov.); the abdomen is narrower and longer than that of L. digitatus sp. nov. In the male genitalia, the sella is bilobed, with the dorsal and ventral lobes being arciform (irregularly oviform and digitate in L. digitatus sp. nov.); the phallus is shorter than that of L. digitatus sp. nov., with a long, spiny, stem-shaped bundle of cornuti (lacking cornutus in L. digitatus sp. nov.).	en	Ko, Jae-Ho, Bayarsaikhan, Ulziijargal, Kim, Jae Won, Bae, Yang-Seop (2025): The genus Limbobotys Munroe & Mutuura, 1970 (Lepidoptera, Crambidae, Pyraustinae) from Laos, with the description of a new species and a newly combined species.

0D3E87A9FFBE2720BAEDFE3E2CE5C530.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species is newly recorded from Laos in this study. It lacks the characteristic scale tufts on the ventral side of the male forewing, and its forewing shape differs slightly from those of other species in the genus. Nevertheless, it shares several key characteristics with Limbobotys, including similar wing patterns, the presence of two foveae on the dorsal surface of the forewing, and a bilobed sella and phallus shape in the male genitalia. Based on these external features, we propose its new combination within the genus Limbobotys. However, it also exhibits distinct traits (such as the shapes of the abdomen, forewing, and phallus) that set it apart from other congeners. These differences suggest that it may belong to a separate, possibly new genus, potentially allied with other similar species, and that further taxonomic research is needed.	en	Ko, Jae-Ho, Bayarsaikhan, Ulziijargal, Kim, Jae Won, Bae, Yang-Seop (2025): The genus Limbobotys Munroe & Mutuura, 1970 (Lepidoptera, Crambidae, Pyraustinae) from Laos, with the description of a new species and a newly combined species.
