Material examined. Hainan. 1♁ 2♀, Jianfeng Town (18.70°N, 108.79°E), 40 m, 1–2. Ⅴ.2013, leg. YH Sun et al., slide Nos. KYN21378♁, KYN21117 ♀, KYN21342 ♀.

Diagnosis: Adult (Fig. 25) wingspan 16.5–23.0 mm. Calamotropha shichito is similar to C. aequilata Li & Li, 2012 in appearance. It can be distinguished by the forewing with two black medial dots; in the male genitalia by the valva with one spiniform process below middle of the costa, and the vesica with two strong clavate processes distally (Fig. 47). In C. aequilata, the forewing has one black medial spot (Fig. 2); the valva lacks a spiniform process, and the vesica has no clavate process distally (Li & Li 2012: Fig. 2C). In addition, C. shichito is diagnosed in the female genitalia by the antrum posteriorly widened and parallel sided, and anteriorly distinctly narrowed (Fig. 67).

Distribution. China (Anhui, Hainan, Hubei, Jiangsu, Yunnan, Zhejiang), Japan.
