Hamodes pendleburyi: Holloway, 1976: 38 ; Holloway, 2005: 269; Kononenko & Pinratana 2005: 46; Park et al., 2007: 33.

Material examined. 1 male. CHINA, Hainan province, Baisha Li Nationality Autonomous County, Yinggeling Natural Reserve , 109°50′90.78″E 19°09′70.39″N, altitude 470 m, 30-V-2018, leg. Shi-fang Mo and Fu-hong Wei.

Diagnosis. Compared with the other species that we mentioned above, this species is larger. The submarginal line is black and thin relatively. There is a darker shading which diffused with yellow color exterior to the submarginal line. In male genitalia, it can be distinguished from other species that we mentioned above by the shorter and thinner uncus and the acute apex of valvae, and the broad saccus. In H. pendleburyi , uncus is short and thin, valva with acute apex and saccus broad, but in H. pseudobutleri , H. hainana and H. butleri , uncus long and strongly curved, valva with blunt circle distal end and the saccus moderate.
