Abstract

In an unpublished manuscript on Asian noctuid moths, primarily on the fauna of NorthThailand, illustrated richly by 341 original figures, Dr. Márton Hreblay (*1963–†2000) proposed 84 new species-group and four genus-group names, designated lectotypes for 23 nominal taxa, and established 14 new synonyms. The original manuscript is published here with the annotations of the authors, finding that one of the newly proposed genus-group names and 14 of the new speciesgroup names are identical with taxa established after the year 2000, hence these names are not available for any action in zoological nomenclature, and they have only historical interest. The remaining 74 species-group and three genus-group names became available in this work under the authorship of Márton Hreblay, Gergely Katona and Balázs Tóth with the publication date of the present paper. Seven of the lectotype designations are invalid or can be questioned; these cases are also annotated. With 190 figures.
