(11) Nemophora sichuana Hirowatari, Kanazawa & Liang, 2012 View in CoL
(Plates I-7, XII-6)
Nemophora sichuana Hirowatari et al., 2012: 99 View in CoL , figs. 1A, 2, 3 (TL: China, Sichuan, Songpan, Jiuzhaigou; KIZ); Liao et al. 2021: 18, figs. 1B, D, F, 2B (wing venations, keys).
Diagnosis. This species differs from the others in the following characters: the relatively regular circular subapical spot; the hindwing usually has two white spots; the dorsal surface of the abdominal segments has a white ring; and the sickle-shaped arrow-head of juxta in the male genitalia.
Specimens examined. [ Sichuan] 1♁ (holotype), Erdaoban (3,000m), Jiuzhaigou , Songpan County, Aba Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture , 1993.VIII.4, H. Shima & I. Kanazawa leg.

Wang & L.S. Chen leg. ( HUNAU) .
Distribution. China (Sichuan).
Remarks. This species is endemic to Sichuan Province and is distributed at high elevations (3,000 –3,750 m). Its distribution is wider than that of N. tenuimaculata and N. zheduoshana and overlaps with the latter ( Liao et al. 2021). Some specimens vary slightly in the wing markings: the hindwing has two irregular white spots, sometimes is obvious, even absent ( Hirowatari et al. 2012).
