( Figs 10–12 , 29–32 )

Eupteryx (Stacla) irminae Dworakowska, 1969: 440 ; Dworakowska, 1982: 176; Dworakowska, 1994: 138

Material examined. 1♂, Sichuan Prov., Minya Konka Mountain, altitude 2400m, 5. XI. 1999, coll. Dworakowska; 1♀, Sichuan Prov., Minya Konka Mountain, altitude 2650m, 5. XI. 1999, coll. Dworakowska; 1♀, Sichuan Prov., Emei Mountain, altitude 1650m, Rubus , 31. XI. 1999, coll. Dworakowska; 21♂♂22♀♀, Yunnan Prov., Mengla Nangong Mountain, altitude 1850m, Artemisia , Urticaceae , 13. XI. 1999, coll. Dworakowska.

Notes: The specimens collected from Yunnan and Sichuan have a rhombic pattern on the crown and spiny anal hook which differ from the E. (S.) irminae from East Nepal (Taplejung) as illustrated by Dworakowska (1969), but other features of the genitalia are very similar so these two populations are considered conspecific.
