Three new, beautifully patterned species of the genus Nemophora Hoffmannsegg are described from Myanmar (N. alba sp. nov.), Indonesia (N. decoratella sp. nov.) and Borneo (N. bruneiella sp. nov.). Nemophora alba differs from all known Nemophora species by white colour of the body, including head, thorax, abdomen, legs, and larger part of wings. Nemophora bruneiella and N. decoratella share two possible synapomorphies, which distinguish them from other Nemophora species: forewing with four to five compact small dark brown spots along dorsum, and basal field of forewing with silver-white triangular spot adjacent to internal border of fascia. The taxonomic affinities of the described species with the other members of the genus Nemophora remain unknown.
从缅甸(新种白痣巢蛾Nemophora alba)、印度尼西亚(新种饰纹巢蛾Nemophora decoratella)和婆罗洲(新种文莱巢蛾Nemophora bruneiella)描述了巢蛾属(Nemophora Hoffmannsegg)的三个新的、具有精美图案的物种。白痣巢蛾与所有已知巢蛾物种的区别在于其身体呈白色,包括头部、胸部、腹部、腿部以及大部分翅膀。文莱巢蛾和饰纹巢蛾共有两个可能的共有衍征,这使其与其他巢蛾物种区分开来:前翅沿背缘有四到五个紧密的深褐色小斑点,前翅基部区域有一个银白色三角形斑点,与翅脉内缘相邻。所描述物种与巢蛾属其他成员的分类亲缘关系尚不清楚。
