03B087998031FFC7FF66F9B8E084FEC5.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Adults exhibit a typical noctuoid wing pattern, usually with a complete set of lines and stigmata. Their habitus resembles that of Atrachea Warren, 1911, or Apamea Ochsenheimer, 1816, but adults tend to have narrower, elongate forewings and lack the green wing elements often present in Atrachea species. Compared with Atrachea nitens (Butler, 1878) and other Apameini, the valva in Parvispinia has a fully developed harpe and a clear, more or less developed distal ampulla, whereas in Apameini including Atrachea, only a distal ampulla is typically present, and the harpe is either completely reduced or vestigial. The juxta of Parvispinia is distinctly U-shaped, with two lateral extensions, whereas in most Apameini the juxta appears shield- or anchor-shaped. The vesica of Atrachea is usually armed with a strong single cornutus or is unarmed, whereas in Parvispinia, the vesica features two patches of tiny, needle-like cornuti and, in some species, two patches of small and two large cornuti. Females of all Parvispinia species have long apophyses and elongate, relatively heavily sclerotized papillae anales, loosely covered with short setae. The structure of the papillae anales differs from that of Apameini, possessing shorter, broader sclerotized papillae anales, with a pair of narrow, elongate, sclerotized areas between the papillae, which are absent in Parvispinia.	en	Chen, Enyong, Saldaitis, Aidas, Yakovlev, Roman V., Volkova, Julia S., Prozorov, Alexey M., Zhou, Yonghong (2026): Description of two new Chinese Parvispinia and new collection data for P. barkama (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae).

03B087998032FFC7FF66FE60E2C5FBE6.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. In the male genitalia, P. barkama differs from all other Parvispinia species by its narrow, elongate, downcurved harpe with a rounded apex. It also has a wider vesica than any other species, except P. caelestina, but the latter features two additional large diverticula in the vesica, which are absent in all other species. In the female genitalia, P. barkama differs from P. parvispina and P. parilis by having the appendix bursae positioned close to the ductus bursae; from P. caelestina by a more heavily sclerotized antrum and appendix bursae; from P. geminus by a larger appendix bursae; from P. clavata sp. nov. by a larger sclerotized area in the appendix bursae and a larger corpus bursae; and from P. dellabrunai sp. nov. by a more heavily sclerotized area between the appendix and corpus bursae and by the lack of signa.	en	Chen, Enyong, Saldaitis, Aidas, Yakovlev, Roman V., Volkova, Julia S., Prozorov, Alexey M., Zhou, Yonghong (2026): Description of two new Chinese Parvispinia and new collection data for P. barkama (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae).

The specimens were collected from Sapu Sacred Mountain at 4,186 meters in Yangxiu Township, Biru County, Nagqu City, located within a humid mountain gorge; one side of the mountain is primarily covered by alpine shrubland, while the other is dominated by Juniperus tibetica.	en	Chen, Enyong, Saldaitis, Aidas, Yakovlev, Roman V., Volkova, Julia S., Prozorov, Alexey M., Zhou, Yonghong (2026): Description of two new Chinese Parvispinia and new collection data for P. barkama (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae).

03B087998032FFC6FF66FB41E307FAD1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species is distinguished from all other Parvispinia by the short, wide, clavate harpe in the male genitalia (Fig. 11), which is reflected in the new species name. It is geographically far apart from P. parvispina and P. cortex (Fig. 19), and thus not compared with them. Morphologically, P. clavata sp. nov. differs from P. caelestina by a thicker saccus, a larger juxta, the lack of two diverticula of vesica, but the presence of two large cornuti in the male genitalia (compare Fig. 11 and Babics 2012, Fig. 19), a larger antrum, a smaller corpus bursae, but a longer appendix bursae with a heavier sclerotized area in the female genitalia (compare Figs 15, 16 and Babics 2012, Fig. 27). Parvispinia clavata sp. nov. differs from P. barkama by a less sclerotized costa of valva and distal ampulla in the male genitalia (compare Figs 11 and 12, 13), a larger antrum and a narrower appendix bursae with less sclerotized surface (compare Figs 15, 16 and 14).	en	Chen, Enyong, Saldaitis, Aidas, Yakovlev, Roman V., Volkova, Julia S., Prozorov, Alexey M., Zhou, Yonghong (2026): Description of two new Chinese Parvispinia and new collection data for P. barkama (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae).

It is geographically far from P. parvispina and P. cortex (Fig. 19) and, therefore, not compared with them. Morphologically, P. dellabrunai sp. nov. differs from P. caelestina by a smaller appendix and corpus bursae, a heavier sclerotized appendix bursae and the transition between it and corpus bursae (compare Fig. 18 and Babics 2012, Fig. 27); from P. barkama by a shallower antrum, a more heavily sclerotized transition between the appendix and corpus bursae, and a slightly larger corpus bursae (compare Figs 18 and 14); from P. geminus by a heavier sclerotized appendix bursae and transitional area from it to the corpus bursae, and a larger corpus bursae (compare Fig. 18 and Babics 2012, Fig. 29); from P. parilis by a smaller, unbent appendix bursae with a sclerotized area and a larger corpus bursae (compare Fig. 18 and Babics 2012, Fig. 30); and from P. clavata sp. nov. by a shallower antrum, a heavier sclerotized transition between the appendix and the corpus bursae, and a larger corpus bursae (compare Figs 18 and 15, 16).	en	Chen, Enyong, Saldaitis, Aidas, Yakovlev, Roman V., Volkova, Julia S., Prozorov, Alexey M., Zhou, Yonghong (2026): Description of two new Chinese Parvispinia and new collection data for P. barkama (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae).
