(Figures 1S, T, 2J, and 4T, U)

Promalactis tauricournis Du et al., 2011, Zootaxa, 3044: 49–64.

Diagnosis

This species is superficially close to P. asperiola sp. nov. in the wing pattern, but it can be differentiated by the female genitalia with sclerotized, cylindrical ductus bursae and the wrinkled seventh sternite laterally.

Material examined

One female, Tam Dao Nat. Park, Vietnam, 1108 m, 16–19 June 2008, JB Heppner, slide gen. no. SNU-9048/ S Kim .

Remark

According to the original description (Du et al. 2011) of the species, the forewing has white scales mixed with the fuscous scales before the tornus, but the Vietnamese specimen has no such white scales. A further study is needed when additional specimens are available.

Distribution

Oriental: Vietnam (North), China (South; Du et al. 2011).
