REMARK. Fang (2000) treated Miltochrista gilveola as a distinct species and illustrated its male genitalia. The examination of the holotype confirmed the correctness of the Fang's treatment.

DIAGNOSIS. Externally, the species ( Figs 21, 22 ) is similar to B. kulingensis ( Figs 23–

26), but differs by its smaller size, paler ground color of forewings, absence of pale suffusion on veins on forewing, and smaller blackish elements of the forewing pattern. The male genitalia ( Fig. 33 ) differ from those of B. kulingensis ( Fig. 34 ) by the basally narrower valva,

the larger medial costal process, the smaller distal membranous lobe of valva, the slightly shorter basal saccular process, the shape of the distal saccular process having much longer dorsal lobe and the narrower distal lobe, the much smaller basal diverticulum without spines,

the longer 2nd medial diverticulum, and the shorter and broader 3rd medial diverticulum.

The female genitalia ( Fig. 41 ) differ by the larger papillae anales, the narrower antrum without apical lobes, the narrower sclerotized posterior section of ductus bursae, the weaker scobination of the posterior section of corpus bursae, and the smaller and weaker sclerotized appendix bursae.

DISTRIBUTION. China (Sichuan, Yunnan) (Daniel, 1952; Fang, 2000) .
