03F187ED4F52825777C3B676FA420515.taxon	discussion	This genus was synonymized with Pennisetia by Duckworth & Eichlin (1974) and with Oligophlebia by Kallies (2001). However, Diapyra differs from both genera in a number of significant characters and was considered valid by Arita & Gorbunov (2001) and Pühringer & Kallies (2004). Diapyra is similar to a number of genera but differs externally and by the genitalia. Antenna of normal length, male antennae long pectinate, female antennae simple; abdomen smooth, without scale tufts, somewhat flattened dorso-ventrally; hind tibia without any scale tufts; frons and vertex smooth, covered with very large scales; forewing with R 4 and R 5 long stalked, Cu 2 lost; hindwing with cross vein angled. Valva of the male genitalia lacks the sensory field. Female genitalia with a large screw-shaped signum, ductus bursae simple; antrum straight.	en	Liang, Jia-Yuan, Ruan, Jun-Feng, Wu, Jin-Ping, Hsu, Yu-Feng (2025): Two new species of clearwing moths in the genus Diapyra Turner 1917 (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae: Paraglosseciini) from Taiwan and southeastern China.

03F187ED4F51825577C3B0D5FD0604DF.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Diapyra changchini sp. nov. cannot be confused with any other species in Taiwan. The wing pattern of this species is distinct from all other known species of the genus Diapyra. D. changchini is similar to D. igniflua in appearance, but with the forewing blackish brown and a prominent fire-coloured patch only present basally. By contrast, forewings of D. igniflua are almost entirely fire-coloured.	en	Liang, Jia-Yuan, Ruan, Jun-Feng, Wu, Jin-Ping, Hsu, Yu-Feng (2025): Two new species of clearwing moths in the genus Diapyra Turner 1917 (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae: Paraglosseciini) from Taiwan and southeastern China.
