ABSTRACT
The genus Antaeola has remained monotypic since its description by Diakonoff in 1973. A new species, Antaeola rhinosa sp. nov., is described and illustrated from Thailand. The new species can be distinguished from A. antaea (Meyrick) by facies and features of the male and female genitalia.

Olethreutini fauna in Thailand consists of 171 species belonging to 57 genera. This checklist is based on literature in which Olethreutini species have been described or recorded and identified specimens that were deposited in Kasetsart Kamphaengsaen Insect Collection (KKIC), Thailand. Of those, 36 species still were reported only in Thailand. Five genera (Lipsotelus, Meiligma, Metrioglypha, Prophaecasia, and Psilacantha) are new records for Thailand. Furthermore, 29 species are also recorded from Thailand for the first time.

Temnolopha paucusinota sp. nov. from Thailand is described as new to science. Two specimens, a male and a female were collected in Phu Kheio Wildlife Sanctuary, northeastern Thailand. Due to more complete wing pattern, the female specimen is selected as the holotype. Illustrations of adults and genitalia are provided. An identification key of Thai Temnolopha species is also provided. This new species increases the number of described Temnolopha species to five worldwide.

Three new species of Xenolepis Diakonoff, 1973 are described from Thailand: X. fissurarta Thonongtor & Pinkaew, sp. nov., X. apicula Thonongtor & Pinkaew, sp. nov., and X. cultrata Thonongtor & Pinkaew, sp. nov. The genus was previously known from Indonesia and India, so the new species represent the first records of the genus from Thailand. Illustrations of adults and male genitalia are provided. Females of the genus remain unknown. The new taxa increase the number of described Xenolepis species to five.

The genus Theorica Diakonoff, 1966 includes two previously described species that occur in Vietnam (i.e., T. secunda Kuznetsov, 1997) and New Guinea (i.e., T. lamyra (Meyrick, 1911)). We report the first occurrence of this genus in Thailand, represented by a new species: Theorica valuliae Pinkaew, n. sp. In addition to illustrations of the adult and genitalia, we also present photographs of living specimens in their natural resting posture.

A new enarmoniine genus, Sirindhornia, n. gen., is described based on the type species, Sirindhornia pulchella, n. sp., and three additional new species: Sirindhornia chaipattana, n. sp., Sirindhornia curvicosta, n. sp., and Sirindhornia bifida, n. sp., all from Thailand. A fifth species represented only by a single female is morphologically characterized but not formally described. Sirindhornia is most closely related to Anthozela Meyrick and Irianassa Meyrick but is easily distinguished by unique appendages of the tegumen and a conspicuous henion in the male genitalia.
