Males of several palaearctic Syntomis/Amata species (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) possess androconial hairbrushes in connection with the foreleg coxa. The cuticular structure of these potentially behaviour-related and pheromone dissipating brushes is described. Such male-specific organs and signals play a crucial role in the female choice procedure. The presence of hairbrushes was found in 17 out of...

A new noctuid moth, Chrysorithrum duda sp. n., from southwest China is described. Previously the genus Chrysorithrum (Butler 1878) included two species with eastern Palaearctic and Manchurian distributions. The new species differs in appearance, genitalia and DNA from its congeners Chrysorithrum flavomaculata (Bremer) and Chrysorithrum amata (Bremer & Grey). Nomenclature used here follows Draud...

Despite the empirical success in various domains, it has been revealed that deep neural networks are vulnerable to maliciously perturbed input data much degrade their performance. This is known as adversarial attacks. To counter attacks, training formulated a form of robust optimization demonstrated be effective. However, conducting brings computational overhead compared with standard training....
