Scopocera sinuosa Moore, 1888: 203. TL: India(Darjiling). Stericta sinuosa(Moore): Hampson, 1896: 122.
Diagnosis. Adult ( Fig. 7). Wingspan 27.0–28.0 mm. Stericta sinuosais characterized superficially by the same colored forewings and the hindwings covered with black and yellowish long white scale hairs; in the male genitalia ( Fig. 15) by the trifurcate distal process of the gnathos, the lateral lobes of the juxta joined distally, and the sacculus with a large knife-shaped process at dorsal 1/3; and in the female genitalia ( Fig. 23) by the semicircular papillae anales. Materialexamined. China. Guangxi: 1♂, Yangmeiao, Rongshui County, Liuzhou(elev. 1240 m), 27 July 2015, coll. Meiqing Yang, Ga-Eun Lee, slide No. RH15528 ♂. Hainan: 1♀, Mt. Diaoluo(elev. 940m), 31 May 2007, coll. Zhiwei Zhang, Weichun Li; 1♀, Diaoluoshan Nature Reserves(elev. 922 m), 27 May 2015, coll. Peixin Cong, Wei Guan, Sha Hu; 1♀, Wuzhishan Nature Reserves(elev. 738m), 4 July 2015, coll. Qingyun Wang, Suran Li, Mengting Chen, slide No. RH15340 ♀; 1♀, Wuzhishan Nature Reserves(elev. 738m), 27 July 2016, coll. Xia Bai, Shuonan Qian, Wanding Qi, slide No. RH16154 ♀. Distribution. China( Fujian, Guangxi, Hainan, Yunnan), India, Bhutan. Remarks. Stericta sinuosais different from its congeners in both superficial and genitalia characters. It is closer to members of the genus ListaWalker, 1859by having similar long scale hairs in the both wings. But in S. sinuosa, wings are dim in color, and tibiae of mid legs have no hairs on outside; in Lista, wings are bright in color, and tibiae of mid legs bear hairs on outside. The assignment of S. sinuosaneeds further study.
