Ctenochauliodes khasianus (van der Weele)

( Fig. 8 )

Neochauliodes khasianus van der Weele, 1909: 259 . Type locality: India ( Khasi Hills ).

Diagnosis. Male antennae strongly pectinate. Forewing with brownish markings, distally as two transverse bands. Male ectoproct twisted distally, forming a triangular, somewhat flattened lobe; fused gonocoxites 10 composed of a pair of bluntly tapered lobes that are nearly equal in length and subtriangular on posterior half of right lobe. See an additional description and other information in Liu et al. (2011).

Material examined. 1♂, MYANMAR: N, 65 km NW Putao, Zi Yar Dam vill., 1250 m, 18-21.V.1998, S. Murzin & V. Siniaev ( LDPC).

Distribution. India (Meghalaya); Myanmar (Kachin).

Remarks. The holotype of C. khasianus has relatively pale-colored wings, with very indistinct forewing marking pattern (see Liu et al. 2011: fig. 1). The new material of this species from Myanmar indicates a distinct forewing marking pattern. However, the male genitalia of these two specimens are almost identical, indicating conspecificity.
