Review of the genus Statherotis Meyrick, 1909 (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Olethreutinae) from Thailand, with description of a new species

A new species of moth, Statherotis muangmaithongi, has been discovered within the UNESCO World Heritage Site Kaeng Krachan Forest Complex in Thailand. This find increases the known diversity of the genus Statherotis to five species in Thailand. The research provides detailed illustrations of the adult moth and its genitalia, along with a key to identify all Statherotis species found in the country. The study contributes to the taxonomic understanding of Lepidoptera, particularly within the Olethreutinae subfamily, which is predominantly distributed in the Oriental region.
