Diagnosis. Forewing length 16.5–18.5 mm in males and 19.0–20.0 mm in females. This species has two forms, striped one ( Figs 21, 22 View Figs 17–24 ) with blackish suffusion along veins, and typical one ( Fig. 20 View Figs 17–24 ) with transverse lines consisting of short longitudinal blackish dashes on veins. Barsine yuennanensis is very similar externally to B. hausmanni ( Figs 17–19 View Figs 17–24 ) and B. dao ( Figs 25–28 View Figs 25–32 ) and can be distinguished from the latter by slightly paler fore- and hindwing coloration only. Compared to B. hausmanni , it has ciliate male antennae (bipectinate in B. hausmanni ), paler coloration, shorter and narrower dashes of transverse lines (longer, broader and more diffuse in B. hausmanni ), and the antemedial and medial lines well separated from each other (whereas in B. hausmanni those are connected in the cell). The male and female genitalia of B. yuennanensis ( Figs 42 View Figs 42–44 , 53 View Figs 48–53 ) are most similar to those of B. nigrovena ( Figs 43 View Figs 42–44 , 54 View Figs 54–57 ) and B. eurydice ( Fig. 44 View Figs 42–44 ). The differences are listed in the diagnosis of B. nigrovena and B. eurydice .
