Figs 6, 20

Opacoptera flavicana Wu & Liu, 1992 in Peng and Liu 1992: 618. TL: China (Hunan). TD: IZCAS.

Material examined.

China: 1♀, Guizhou, Mt. Fanjing, 1700 m, 1.vi.2002, XP Wang leg., slide No. LSR11247 .

Diagnosis.

This species can be distinguished from its congeners by the pale yellowish brown forewing, the juxta without posterior lobes in the male genitalia (Wu and Liu 1992: 681, fig. 2148), and the corpus bursae with a single signum in the female genitalia (Fig. 20).

Description.

Wingspan 16.0 mm (Fig. 6).

Distribution.

China (Guizhou, Hunan).

Remarks.

Wu and Liu (1992) described the species from Hunan, China on a male and four females, and placed it in the genus Opacoptera based mainly on the wing venation. But the species seems distinctive in the genus Opacoptera both in appearance and genitalia as stated in the diagnosis. It probably does not belong to the present genus and the taxonomic status needs further study.
