Andrioplecta phuluangensis Komai, 1992

( Figs. 3 , 14 )

Andrioplecta phuluangensis Komai, 1992: 161 . Type locality: Thailand (Loei Province, Phu Luang Wildlife Sanctuary). Holotype (♀): ZMUC.

Material examined. Henan: 1 ♀, Huangshi’an, Xixia County, 17.vii.1998, leg. Houhun Li; 2 ♀, Lingshansi, Luoshan County, 350 m, 22−23.v.2000, leg. Haili Yu; 3 ♀, Mt. Wangwu, Jiyuan County, 800−1100 m, 28−29.vii.2006, leg. Hui Zhen and Denghui Kuang.

Diagnosis. Adult ( Fig. 3 ) with wingspan 12.5−15.0 mm. Andrioplecta phuluangensis is similar to A. oxystaura ( Meyrick, 1935) in both wing pattern and female genitalia. It can be distinguished by the rather short ductus bursae (about 1/6 the length of the corpus bursae) in the female genitalia ( Fig. 14 ). In A. oxystaura the ductus bursae is about 1/3 length of the corpus bursae.

Distribution. China (Henan), Thailand.

Remarks. This species is recorded for the first time from China; the male remains unknown.
