The Lepidoptera fauna of the island of Flores (Lesser Sunda Archipelago, Indonesia) shares a large proportion of endemic species, which may reach 80100% in several groups (Zolotuhin Witt 2005; Nässig et al. 2009; Zolotuhin 2009; Nässig Bouyer 2010; Yakovlev 2015; Spitsyn Potapov 2020; Spitsyn Bolotov 2020). A plethora of new species was described from this island during the last 15 years, e.g. the tiger moth Spilarctia mikeli Bolotov, Kondakov Spitsyn, 2018 (Zolotuhin Witt 2005; Yakovlev 2006; Spitsyn Bolotov 2020a, b, c). This species was described based on a single female specimen collected in West Flores (Bolotov et al. 2018). In the present paper, we describe the male of Spilarctia mikeli for the first time, and illustrate variability of marking patterns of both the male and the female of this species.
弗洛雷斯岛（小巽他群岛，印度尼西亚）的鳞翅目动物区系拥有很大比例的特有物种，在几个类群中可能达到 80%至 100%（Zolotuhin Witt 2005；Nässig 等人，2009；Zolotuhin 2009；Nässig Bouyer 2010；Yakovlev 2015；Spitsyn Potapov 2020；Spitsyn Bolotov 2020）。在过去的 15 年中，该岛描述了大量的新物种，例如虎蛾 Spilarctia mikeli Bolotov，Kondakov Spitsyn，2018（Zolotuhin Witt 2005；Yakovlev 2006；Spitsyn Bolotov 2020a，b，c）。该物种是基于在西弗洛雷斯（West Flores）采集的一个单一雌性标本而描述的（Bolotov 等人，2018）。在本文中，我们首次描述了 Spilarctia mikeli 的雄性，并说明了该物种雌雄个体的标记模式的可变性。
