Labial palpus with third segment as long as or slightly longer than second segment. Forewing 13 - veined; cell rather long, about ¾ × as long as forewing, accessory cell present; R 3 from upper corner of accessory cell, R 4 and R 5 separated or arising from same point, 1 A + 2 A forming quite small basal fork. Hindwing with 10 - veins, M 3 and CuA 1 fused. Male genitalia Uncus subquadrate. Socius with one or two apical thorns. Ventral plate of gnathos developed into paired processes in most species, and forming a small plate in some species (e. g., Y. meraculus Bradley, 1962, Y. morbillosa Zeller, 1877, Y. strigillata Zeller, 1852, Y. zambesica Agassiz, 2019).

Yponomeuta bipunctella is distinguishable in the male genitalia by the broad valva with the ventral margin being extremely arched (Fig. 7 B), and in the female genitalia by the ventral arm of the apophyses anteriores forming a large sclerotised plate on the lamella postvaginalis (Fig. 13 B). It is similar to Y. meguronis (Mastumura, 1931), but Y. bipunctella can be distinguished from Y. meguronis in the male genitalia by possessing the socius which is nearly as long as the saccus, the ventral plate of the gnathos with long processes, and the costa nearly straight. In Y. meguronis, the socius is longer than the saccus, the ventral plate of the gnathos has short, small processes, and the costa is convex in the basal half (Moriuti 1977: pl. xxvii fig. 275).	en	Liu, Haoyu, Li, Houhun (2026): Review of the genus Yponomeuta Latreille, 1796 (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) in China.

03CE87B8E600FF90FDB9ADE1FDCB86F7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis (adult; Fig. 3 D) Wingspan 16.0 – 22.0 mm. Yponomeuta catharotis is similar to Y. kanaiella (Matsumura, 1931) and Y. spodocrossa (Meyrick, 1935) in the male genitalia. It can be distinguished by the forewing without the series of subradial dots, while the subradial dots are present in the latter two species (Figs 4 D, 6 E). In the male genitalia, the apex-pointed valva of Y. catharotis is strongly curved dorsad, and the valvae of the other two species are obtuse at the apex; Y. kanaiella has a broad valva obtusely produced on the ventral margin, while the elongate valvae of Y. catharotis and Y. spodocrossa are not produced on the ventral margin (Figs 7 D, 8 F, 11 D). In the female genitalia, the intersegmental membrane between the papillae anales and the eighth abdominal segment is about ½ as long as the papillae anales in Y. catharotis, which is nearly as long as the papillae anales in Y. kanaiella and Y. spodocrossa; the corpus bursae of Y. kanaiella is elongate oviform, and the corpus bursae of Y. catharotis and Y. spodocrossa are round (Figs 13 C, 14 C, 16 C).	en	Liu, Haoyu, Li, Houhun (2026): Review of the genus Yponomeuta Latreille, 1796 (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) in China.

03CE87B8E602FF92FDBFAA42FE878164.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis The new species is similar to Y. orientalis Zagulajev, 1969 in having a white forewing without the series of the supramedian dots. This new species can be distinguished from Y. orientalis by possessing the thorax with four black dots, and in the male genitalia by the uncus being slightly concave on the posterior margin, and the valva being roundly produced medially on the ventral margin. In Y. orientalis, the thorax has five black dots; the posterior margin of the uncus is straight, and the valva is subparallel-sided medially (Figs 5 B, 9 F).	en	Liu, Haoyu, Li, Houhun (2026): Review of the genus Yponomeuta Latreille, 1796 (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) in China.

03CE87B8E606FF96FDB8AA9DFC3883B2.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis (adult; Fig. 3 G) Wingspan 18.5 – 27.0 mm. Yponomeuta eurinellus is diagnosed by the grey forewing suffused with small patches of white scales, in the male genitalia by the ventral plate of the gnathos with thumb-shaped processes (Fig. 8 A), and in the female genitalia by the ductus bursae arising from the posterior ¼ of the ductus bursae, and a small, rounded corpus bursae (Fig. 13 E). Yponomeuta eurinellus is similar to Y. mayumivorella (Matsumura, 1931) in the male genitalia, and the differences between them are stated in the diagnosis of the latter species.	en	Liu, Haoyu, Li, Houhun (2026): Review of the genus Yponomeuta Latreille, 1796 (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) in China.

Yponomeuta evonymella is diagnosed from other congeneric species by the white forewing with a series of subradial and supramedian dots; in the male genitalia by the ventral plate of the gnathos with bar-shaped processes, and the crescent-shaped valva (Fig. 8 B); and in the female genitalia by the presence of a paired, dentate, sclerotised plate between the papillae anales (Fig. 14 A). It is similar to Y. refrigerata (Meyrick, 1931) superficially, and the differences between them are stated in the diagnosis of the latter species.	en	Liu, Haoyu, Li, Houhun (2026): Review of the genus Yponomeuta Latreille, 1796 (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) in China.

03CE87B8E61AFF8DFDA7A974FE218471.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis The new species is similar to Y. griseatus Moriuti, 1977 in the forewing, sharing a large black plical stigma at basal 2 / 5, and the fringe of the forewing being dark brown along the upper half of the termen. The new species can be distinguished from Y. griseatus in the male genitalia by the uncus concave posteromedially, the ventral plate of the gnathos being trapezoidal, and the valva narrowed from the basal ⅓ to the apex. In Y. griseatus, the uncus is nearly straight on the posterior margin, the ventral plate of the gnathos has paired, slender processes, and the valva is parallel-sided from basal ⅓ to just before the apex (Fig. 8 D).	en	Liu, Haoyu, Li, Houhun (2026): Review of the genus Yponomeuta Latreille, 1796 (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) in China.

03CE87B8E61CFF8FFDACAD04FB198286.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis (adult; Fig. 4 B) Wingspan 14.0 – 22.0 mm. Yponomeuta griseatus can be distinguished from other congeneric species by the forewing with a large conspicuous black plical stigma, and the fringe running along the upper half of the termen and forming a black median bar (Fig. 4 B); in the male genitalia Y. griseatus can be diagnosed by the saccus that is slightly dilated anteriorly (Fig. 8 D); and in the female genitalia by having a pair of rounded lamellae postvaginalis (Fig. 14 B). Yponomeuta griseatus is similar to Y. furvimaculata Li sp. nov. superficially and externally, but can be easily distinguished by the male genitalia. The differences between the two species Y. griseatus and Y. furvimaculata are stated in the diagnosis of the new species. Yponomeuta griseatus is also similar to Y. vigintipunctata (Retzius, 1783) and Y. yanagawana (Matsumura, 1931) in the male genitalia. Yponomeuta griseatus can be distinguished by the series of the supramedian dots on the forewing that are absent in Y. vigintipunctata, which are present in Y. griseatus and Y. yanagawana (Figs 4 B, 6 G – H). In the male genitalia, the saccus of Y. yanagawana is parallel-sided, while it is slightly dilated anteriorly in Y. griseatus and Y. vigintipunctata; the aedeagus in Y. vigintipunctata is about 1.5 × as long as the valva, while it is about 2 × as long as the valva in Y. griseatus and Y. yanagawana (Figs 8 D, 12 B – C). Yponomeuta griseatus can be further distinguished from Y. vigintipunctata in the female genitalia by the antrum being distinctly narrowed anteriorly, while it is almost uniformly wide in Y. vigintipunctata (Figs 14 B, 16 E).	en	Liu, Haoyu, Li, Houhun (2026): Review of the genus Yponomeuta Latreille, 1796 (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) in China.

03CE87B8E61EFF8EFDA7A9BAFD4D8446.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by the yellowish-white forewing suffused with dark grey scales, and without the series of lined dots as they are present in the other species. The new species is similar to Y. quinquepunctata Li sp. nov. in male genitalia, and it can be distinguished from the latter by the shape of the ventral plate of the gnathos, which possesses paired thumb-shaped processes. In Y. quinquepunctata, the trapezoidal ventral plate of the gnathos lacks the paired processes (Fig. 10 E).	en	Liu, Haoyu, Li, Houhun (2026): Review of the genus Yponomeuta Latreille, 1796 (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) in China.

03CE87B8E61EFF8EFDA7A9BAFD4D8446.taxon	discussion	Remarks The forewing of this new species lacks conspicuous series of dots, which differentiates this species from other species of the genus Yponomeuta. However, the uncus is subquadrate, the ventral plate of the gnathos is developed into paired processes, the sacculus is narrow, and the cornuti are composed of four spines in the male genitalia, all these characters agree with the generic characters of Yponomeuta. Hence, we assign the new species to this genus.	en	Liu, Haoyu, Li, Houhun (2026): Review of the genus Yponomeuta Latreille, 1796 (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) in China.

03CE87B8E61FFF81FD8EAFFAFC85858C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis (adult; Fig. 4 D) Wingspan 17.0 – 21.0 mm. Yponomeuta kanaiella can be distinguished from the congeneric species in the male genitalia by the valva subparallel from near base to before apex (Fig. 8 F), and in the female genitalia by having a tubular antrum (Fig. 14 C), while the antrum in closely related species is funnel-shaped (Figs 14 A – B, D – E). Yponomeuta kanaiella is similar to Y. catharotis (Meyrick, 1935) and Y. spodocrossa (Meyrick, 1935) in the male genitalia, and the differences between them are stated in the diagnosis of Y. catharotis.	en	Liu, Haoyu, Li, Houhun (2026): Review of the genus Yponomeuta Latreille, 1796 (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) in China.

03CE87B8E615FF87FDDFAC54FB6886F1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Yponomeuta osakae can be distinguished from the other congeneric species by the combination of the following characters: in the male genitalia by the elongate, finger-shaped processes of the gnathal ventral plate more than 3 × the width (Fig. 10 A); in the female genitalia by the ductus bursae slightly inflated toward the corpus bursae, and the subovate corpus bursae (Fig. 15 A). Yponomeuta osakae is similar to Y. anatolica (Stringer, 1930) and Y. minipunctatus Gershenson & Ulenberg, 1998. Yponomeuta minipunctatus can be easily distinguished by the white background colour of the forewing, while the forewings of the other two species are grey (Figs 3 A, 4 H, 5 C). In the male genitalia, the width of the processes of the gnathal ventral plate is more than 3 × that of Y. osakae (Fig. 10 A), while they are 1.5 × that of Y. minipunctatus (Fig. 9 D) and 2 × that of Y. anatolica (Fig. 7 A). Besides, the processes of the gnathal ventral plate are elongate triangular in Y. anatolica and digitate in the other two species. In the female genitalia, Y. osakae can be distinguished from similar species by having a rounded corpus bursae (Fig. 15 A), which is oval in Y. anatolica (Fig. 13 A). The female of Y. minipunctatus is unknown yet.	en	Liu, Haoyu, Li, Houhun (2026): Review of the genus Yponomeuta Latreille, 1796 (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) in China.

03CE87B8E62FFFB0FDA3A9E4FE2E8452.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis The new species is similar to Y. cinefacta (Meyrick, 1935) in the male genitalia. Externally, the new species can be distinguished from the latter by the pale grey forewing mottled with dark grey, and the presence of a series of subradial and supramedian dots; in the male genitalia the new species can be diagnosed by having the socius widened medially and distinctly arched on the inner margin; and in the female genitalia by having a relatively small subovate corpus bursae. In Y. cinefacta, the grey forewing lacks the series of the subradial and supramedian dots (Fig. 3 F); the socius is not widened medially and is obtuse on the inner margin (Fig. 7 F); and the corpus bursae is round (Fig. 13 D).	en	Liu, Haoyu, Li, Houhun (2026): Review of the genus Yponomeuta Latreille, 1796 (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) in China.

03CE87B8E627FFAAFD82AF5DFCE084B6.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis (adult; Fig. 6 G) Wingspan 13.5 – 19.0 mm. Yponomeuta vigintipunctata can be distinguished from the congeneric species by the forewing without the series of the supramedian dots, and in the male genitalia by the ventral plate of the gnathos with short processesdirected ventrad (Fig. 12 B); in the female genitalia by the short antrum almost uniformly wide (Fig. 16 E). It is similar to Y. griseatus Moriuti, 1977 and Y. yanagawana (Matsumura, 1931) while sharing some characters in the male genitalia. The diagnostic differences between these species mentioned above are stated in the diagnosis of Y. griseatus.	en	Liu, Haoyu, Li, Houhun (2026): Review of the genus Yponomeuta Latreille, 1796 (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) in China.
