Abstract
Aberrasine pangsau, sp. nov. is described as a new from Shergaon, Arunachal Pradesh, North East India. The new species is diagnosed with its closely similar species, A. strigivenata (Hampson, 1894). Additionally, we divide the genus into two species groups and provide the world checklist of the genus.
