Abstract

We report a Sundaland inhabitant, Rhodoneura pudicula Guenée, 1858 (Lepidoptera: Thyrididae) from Great Nicobar Island, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, the first-time record from India. Description, diagnosis, images of habitus and male genitalia are provided. Additionally, we report the extension of the distributional range of two thyridids: Mellea taeniata (Warren, 1908) and Aglaopus decussata (Moore, 1883), up to the Great Nicobar Island.
