Moths in Hong Kong - 2: Species restricted to Hong Kong

This is the second guide to the moth species from Hong Kong. It focuses on species though to be currently known only from Hong Kong, as well as species only ever found in (i.e. endemic to) Hong Kong (so far)...... It can be used in conjunction with the Hong Kong Moths Recording Project on i-Naturalist.
As the iNaturalist guides are limited to 500 species, it is not possible to do all of Hong Kong's moths in one iNat guide.
See also Moths in Hong Kong - 1: Common Moths.

In due course all species' write ups will be made Hongkongcentric. Notes on key identification points, ecology, phenology, systematics and other similar species are slowly being added.

Species in this guide are listed in taxonomic order to subfamily or tribe, where known, and alphabetically therein.

Please note this is a work in progress. Many of the species listed here have no photographs of live habitus individuals due to their rarity.
