Abstract

Very little work has been done to document the moth fauna of the Mizoram state in northeast India. An emerald moth collected from three localities in Aizawl District of Mizoram was identified as Tanaorhinus viridiluteata Walker, 1861 based on morphological and molecular studies. This species has been described briefly with colour photographs of male and female genitalia. Partial mitochondrial COI gene was amplified from these specimens for molecular analysis. This study represents a first record of the genus Tanaorhinus and species T. viridiluteata from Mizoram State.
