The genus Antheromorpha is redefined and shown to comprise 11 valid species: A. miranda (Pocock,
1895), A. bistriata (Pocock, 1895), A. comotti (Pocock, 1895), A. festiva (Brolemann, 1896), A. harpaga
(Attems, 1937), A. mediovirgata (Carl, 1941), A. minlana (Pocock, 1895), A. pardalis (Pocock, 1895), A.
paviei (Brolemann, 1896), comb. n., A. rosea Golovatch, 2013 and A. uncinata (Attems, 1931). Three
new synonymies are proposed: A. bivittata (Pocock, 1895) and A. melanopleuris (Pocock, 1895) are syn-
onymized under A. miranda (Pocock, 1895), and A. orophila (Carl, 1941) under A. comotti (Pocock,
1895). Detailed descriptions and illustrations of fresh material from Thailand and Malaysia are given,
especially regarding colour patterns which appear to be crucial for accurate species identifications. Two
Antheromorpha species proposed by Attems are redescribed, based on type material. The genus is rediag-
nosed and a key and a distribution map are also provided. At least in Thailand, adult A. rosea have been
found to occur every year only for one or two weeks in September or October, disappearing thereafter.
