Stictoptera hypenistis Hampson, 1905 , Ann. Mag. nat. Hist., (7) 16: 536. Holotype: male, Burma: Hsipaw (BMNH). Lophoptera hypenistis Hampson, 1912 , Cat. Lepid. Phal. Br. Mus., 11: 193, pl. 179: 10.

Diagnosis. L. hypenistis resembles L. partitistis Holloway, 1985 , but can be distinguished by reddish brown color of forewing, while that of L. partitistis is dark greyish-brown; the postmedial line is single, straight, and surrounded with a series of black dots posteriorly, but that of L. partitistis is double and wavy. In the male genitalia, the apex of the uncus is snake-head-shaped, but that of L. partitistis is scrolled apically. In the female genitalia, the lateral lobes are long and nephroid, but that of L. partitistis are short and rounded.
