Deltoplastis gypsopeda Meyrick, 1934: 514; Gaede, 1937: 506; Clarke, 1965: 39; Gozmány, 1978: 226; Wu, 1997: 96. TL: Mt. Omei, China.

Material examined. China: Guizhou Province: 1♂, Suoluo, Chishui, 390 m, 30.V.2000, coll. Yanli Du. Thailand: 1♀, Chiang Mai, Doui Pakia, 1500 m, 5–7.IX.1987, coll. S. Moriuti, T. Saito, Y. Arita & Y. Yoshiyasu. Nepal: 1♂, NW. Pokhara Birethanti, 1300 m, 29.VII.1996, coll. M. Fibiger. India: 4♂, 5.1999, coll. H. Khas., 2♀, 7.1999, coll. H. Khas.

Diagnosis. Adult (Fig. 3 a) with wingspan 12.0– 13.5 mm. This species is similar to D. lamellospina Wu & Park, 1998 in genital structures. It differs from the latter by the uncus with distal half elongate elliptical and the thorn-like caudal lobes of the juxta in the male genitalia (Fig. 5 b); by the ductus seminalis arising from near base of the ductus burse, and the corpus bursae with two signa in the female genitalia (Fig. 7 d). In D. lamellospina, the uncus is grudually narrowed from base to apex and the caudal lobes of the juxta are digitate (Wu & Park, 1998: 4, Fig. 9); the ductus seminalis arises from middle of the ductus burse, and the corpus bursae has one signum (Wu & Park, 1998: 4, Fig. 20).

Distribution. China (Guizhou, Sichuan), Nepal, Thailand, India.

Note. This species is recorded for the first time from Thailand and India.
