( Figs. 4 View FIGURES 1 − 6 , 9 View FIGURES 7 − 11 , 15 View FIGURES 12 − 16 )
Laspeyresia pulverula Meyrick, 1912: 876 View in CoL . Type locality: India (Assam, Khasi Hills). Holotype (♀): BMNH. Andrioplecta pulverula Obraztsov, 1968: 177 View in CoL .
Material examined. Hainan: 1 ♂, Nancha, Bawangling, 600 m, 6.vi.2007, leg. Zhiwei Zhang and Weichun Li. Henan: 1 ♀, Zushiliulou, Gushi County, 120 m, 16.v.1995, leg. Guangyun Yan; 1 ♂, Lingshansi, Luoshan County, 350 m, 23.v.2000, leg. Haili Yu.
Diagnosis. Adult ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 1 − 6 ) with wingspan 12.0−13.0 mm. This species is characterized by the forewing pattern which features a black submedian patch originating from the basal 1/3 of the dorsum. The male genitalia of A. pulverula are similar to those of A. oxystaura ( Meyrick, 1935) , but they can be distinguished by the aedeagus abruptly narrowed in distal 1/4 and absence of cornuti in the male genitalia ( Fig. 9 View FIGURES 7 − 11 ); and the ductus bursae about the same length as the corpus bursae in the female genitalia ( Fig. 15 View FIGURES 12 − 16 ). In A. oxystaura the aedeagus is abruptly narrowed in the distal 1/3 and bears four deciduous cornuti; and the ductus bursae is about 1/3 the length of the corpus bursae. Andrioplecta pulverula is also extremely similar to A. shoreae Komai, 1992 , and the differences between them are noted under the latter species.
Hosts. The larvae have been found mainly galls of gall wasps ( Hymenoptera : Cynipidae ) on Castanea and Quercus (Fagaceae) , feeding on the larvae of gall wasps ( Komai 1999).
Distribution. China (Anhui, Guangdong, Hainan, Henan, Jiangxi, Shandong, Sichuan, Yunnan), Japan, Korea, India.
