( Figs 11, 12 View FIGURES 9–16 , 22 View FIGURES 20–23 , 31 View FIGURES 31–34 )

Ilema nigripes Hampson, 1900 , Catalogue of Lepidoptera Phalaenae in the British Museum, 2: 175, pl. 23: fig. 6 (Type locality: [NE India, Meghalaya, Khasi Hills] “ Assam, Khásis ”).

Type material examined. Lectotype (hereby designated) ( Fig.11 View FIGURES 9–16 ):male,“Khasis| May 1896.|Nat.Coll.”/ “nigripes | type ♂. Hmpsn” / “97-164.” / red ring “Type” label / QR-code label with unique number: “ NHMUK010401840 About NHMUK ” ( NHMUK).

Additional material examined. INDIA: 1 male, Khasis, May 1896, Nat. Coll. / Ilema nigripes Hmps / Lithosia auriflava Moore / Doncaster private coll. Purch. 1927, gen. prep. No.: AV 6491 (prepared by Volynkin) ( OUMNH); 1 female, Khasis, Mar. 1897, Nat. Coll. / 684 / Rothschild Bequest B. M. 1939-1, unique number: NHMUK 010292059, gen. prep. No.: NHMUK 010317776 (prepared by Volynkin) ( NHMUK).

Note. In the original description of Ilema nigripes, Hampson (1900) mentioned one male and one female from “ Assam, Khásis” as “type”. In order to stabilise the nomenclature we hereby designate the male specimen from Khasis labelled as “Type” and preserved in the NHMUK collection as lectotype.

Diagnosis. The forewing length is 19.5–20.0 mm in males and 21.0 mm in female. Manulea nigripes is the largest species in the group. The differences from the morphologically most similar M. mikrotera sp. n. are discussed below in the diagnosis of the latter species.

Distribution. Northeast India: Meghalaya ( Hampson 1900). The record from Thailand ( Černý & Pinratana 2009) belongs M. mavropoda sp. n. The record from Sikkim ( Hampson 1900) requires clarification and probably belongs to M. mikrotera sp. n.
