This diverse radiation comprises nearly 100 valid described species that share a single ancestor. Despite a monograph in 1964 by Paul Griveaud, systematics of the group greatly needs modern revision, and their distribution on the island is still poorly known. This contribution concerns the diversity of Syntomini of the R\u00e9serve Sp\u00e9ciale d\u2019Ambohitantely, which protects the largest remaining, but already highly fragmented, vestige of Central Plateau rainforest in Madagascar. Here we provide an annotated checklist of the eight species occurring in the Reserve. Two species are recorded from the forest for the first time, while five endemics are until now known only from Ambohitantely. We also describe for the first time the female of\n                    <jats:italic>Thyrosticta vestigii<\/jats:italic>\n                    Griveaud, 1964 and of\n                    <jats:italic>Maculonaclia tampoketsya<\/jats:italic>\n                    Griveaud, 1969, as well as a yellow morphotype of\n                    <jats:italic>Thyrosticta dilata<\/jats:italic>\n                    Griveaud, 1964, and we redescribe and illustrate the genitalia of the remaining species. The significance of such colour pattern variation in aposematic moths and the role of this Reserve as a local centre of diversity of Malagasy Syntomini together with its importance in the protection of the biodiversity of Madagascar are discussed.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7717\/peerj.11688","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,24]],"date-time":"2021-06-24T04:43:11Z","timestamp":1624509791000},"page":"e11688","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Malagasy Polka Dot Moths (Noctuoidea: Erebidae: Arctiinae: Syntomini) of Ambohitantely\u2014endemism in the most important relict of Central Plateau rainforest in Madagascar"],"prefix":"10.7717","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4885-1301","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Marcin","family":"Wiorek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Invertebrate Zoology, Institute of Systematics and Evolution of Animals, Polish Academy of Sciences, Krak\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kamila","family":"Malik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Invertebrate Evolution, Institute of Zoology and Biomedical Research, Jagiellonian University, Krak\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Lees","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life Sciences, Natural History Museum, London, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u0141ukasz","family":"Przyby\u0142owicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Invertebrate Zoology, Institute of Systematics and Evolution of Animals, Polish Academy of Sciences, Krak\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"4443","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,24]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"10.7717\/peerj.11688\/ref-1","first-page":"93","article-title":"Tree diversity on small plots in Madagascar: a preliminary review","volume":"51","author":"Abraham","year":"1996","journal-title":"Revue d\u2019\u00c9cologie"},{"key":"10.7717\/peerj.11688\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.3897\/zookeys.509.8897","article-title":"Systematics of the Madagascar Anelosimus spiders: remarkable local richness and endemism, and dual colonization from the Americas","volume":"509","author":"Agnarsson","year":"2015","journal-title":"ZooKeys"},{"key":"10.7717\/peerj.11688\/ref-3","first-page":"32","article-title":"Dire la Nature \u00e0 Madagascar: des mythes contre des cartes","volume-title":"Dire l\u2019oc\u00e9an Indien","volume":"1","author":"Amelot","year":"2017"},{"key":"10.7717\/peerj.11688\/ref-4","first-page":"431","article-title":"Diagnosen neuer Lepidopteren aus dem Congo-Gebiete. \u00d6fversigt af Kongl","volume":"53","author":"Aurivillius","year":"1896","journal-title":"Vetenskaps-Akademiens F\u00f6rhlhandlingar"},{"issue":"11","key":"10.7717\/peerj.11688\/ref-5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1101","DOI":"10.1641\/0006-3568(2003)053[1101:CMFB]2.0.CO;2","article-title":"Conserving Madagascar\u2019s freshwater biodiversity","volume":"53","author":"Benstead","year":"2003","journal-title":"BioScience"},{"issue":"2","key":"10.7717\/peerj.11688\/ref-6","first-page":"149","article-title":"M\u00e9moire sur les L\u00e9pidopt\u00e8res de Madagascar, Bourbon et Maurice","volume":"2","author":"Boisduval","year":"1833","journal-title":"Nouvelles Annales du Mus\u00e9um d\u2019Histoire Naturelle"},{"key":"10.7717\/peerj.11688\/ref-7","first-page":"585","article-title":"Catalogue des L\u00e9pidopt\u00e8res recueillis par M.
