The present paper is devoted to the taxonomy of the genus Miltochrista Hübner, [1819] with a special emphasis to the Indian fauna. Six new species of the genus are described: M. gopaldhara Volynkin, Černý, N. Singh, Kirti, Datta & S. Singh, sp. nov. (Northeast India), M. mawphlang N. Singh, Kirti, Datta, S. Singh, Volynkin & Černý, sp. nov. (Northeast India), M. carcharias Volynkin, Černý, N. Singh, Kirti, Datta & S. Singh, sp. nov. (Northeast and South India), M. ephimeces Volynkin, Černý, N. Singh, Kirti, Datta & S. Singh, sp. nov. (Northeast India and northern Myanmar), M. jatinga N. Singh, Volynkin, Černý, Kirti, Datta & S. Singh, sp. nov. (Northeast India, northern Myanmar and Northern Thailand), and M. nuranang N. Singh, Volynkin, Černý, Kirti, Datta & S. Singh, sp. nov. (Northeast India and Nepal). One taxon is reassessed to species level: Miltochrista butleri Leech, [1889], stat. rev. Two new synonyms are introduced: M. neoseriata N. Singh & Kirti, 2016 = M. pseudoseriata N. Singh & Kirti, 2016, syn. nov., and M. floccosa (Walker, [1865]) = Asura violacea Reich, 1936, syn. nov. One synonym is revised: M. floccosa (Walker, [1865]) = Nudaria subcervina Walker, [1865], syn. rev. A neotype is designated for Nudaria subcervina Walker, [1865]. Lectotypes are designated for Asura lacteoflava lacteoflava Rothschild, 1913, Asura lacteoflava aureata Rothschild, 1913, Setina dharma Moore, 1879, Miltochrista butleri Leech, [1889], Lyclene discistriga Moore, 1878, and Sesapa andamana Moore, 1877. The male genitalia of M. paraseriata N. Singh & Kirti, 2016 are correctly illustrated and diagnosed for the first time. Polymorphism of M. dharma is illustrated and discussed. Six species are reported for the first time from the following countries: M. dharma (Moore, 1879) and M. floccosa (Walker, [1865]) from Pakistan and Nepal; M. terminata (Moore, 1878) from Myanmar and Thailand; M. vidlickai Bucsek, 2020 from Vietnam and Thailand; M. quadrata (Holloway, 2001) from Indonesia (Sumatra), Thailand and India (Assam); and M. producta (Černý, 2009) from Nepal and Vietnam. Adults as well as male and female genitalia are illustrated.
本文致力于对米尔托苔蛾属（Miltochrista Hübner，[1819]）进行分类研究，特别着重于印度的动物区系。描述了该属的六个新物种：戈帕尔达拉米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista gopaldhara Volynkin, Černý, N. Singh, Kirti, Datta & S. Singh, sp. nov.）（印度东北部）、马夫朗米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista mawphlang N. Singh, Kirti, Datta, S. Singh, Volynkin & Černý, sp. nov.）（印度东北部）、卡恰里亚斯米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista carcharias Volynkin, Černý, N. Singh, Kirti, Datta & S. Singh, sp. nov.）（印度东北部和南部）、埃菲梅克斯米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista ephimeces Volynkin, Černý, N. Singh, Kirti, Datta & S. Singh, sp. nov.）（印度东北部和缅甸北部）、贾廷加米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista jatinga N. Singh, Volynkin, Černý, Kirti, Datta & S. Singh, sp. nov.）（印度东北部、缅甸北部和泰国北部）以及努拉南米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista nuranang N. Singh, Volynkin, Černý, Kirti, Datta & S. Singh, sp. nov.）（印度东北部和尼泊尔）。一个分类单元被重新评估到物种级别：布氏米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista butleri Leech, [1889]），新地位。引入了两个新异名：新条纹米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista neoseriata N. Singh & Kirti, 2016） = 拟条纹米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista pseudoseriata N. Singh & Kirti, 2016），新异名，以及絮状米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista floccosa (Walker, [1865])） = 紫堇色阿苏拉苔蛾（Asura violacea Reich, 1936），新异名。修订了一个异名：絮状米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista floccosa (Walker, [1865])） = 近颈裸苔蛾（Nudaria subcervina Walker, [1865]），异名修订。为近颈裸苔蛾（Nudaria subcervina Walker, [1865]）指定了一个新模式标本。为乳黄阿苏拉苔蛾（Asura lacteoflava lacteoflava Rothschild, 1913）、金黄阿苏拉苔蛾（Asura lacteoflava aureata Rothschild, 1913）、达摩塞蒂娜苔蛾（Setina dharma Moore, 1879）、布氏米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista butleri Leech, [1889]）、盘带丽苔蛾（Lyclene discistriga Moore, 1878）以及安达曼塞萨帕苔蛾（Sesapa andamana Moore, 1877）指定了选模式标本。首次正确绘制并诊断了2016年辛格和基尔蒂描述的副条纹米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista paraseriata N. Singh & Kirti）的雄性生殖器。展示并讨论了达摩米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista dharma）的多态性。首次从以下国家报道了六个物种：来自巴基斯坦和尼泊尔的达摩米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista dharma (Moore, 1879)）和絮状米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista floccosa (Walker, [1865])）；来自缅甸和泰国的端纹米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista terminata (Moore, 1878)）；来自越南和泰国的维德利卡米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista vidlickai Bucsek, 2020）；来自印度尼西亚（苏门答腊）、泰国和印度（阿萨姆）的方形米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista quadrata (Holloway, 2001)）；以及来自尼泊尔和越南的展米尔托苔蛾（Miltochrista producta (Černý, 2009)）。展示了成虫以及雄性和雌性生殖器。
