(18) Nemophora hoeneella ( Caradja & Meyrick, 1935)

Nemotois honeella Caradja & Meyrick, 1935: 95 (TL: China, Hunan, Hoeng-Shan [ Hengshan ]; MINGA).

Nemophora hoeneella: Kozlov & Hirowatari 1997: 92 , figs. 4, 12, 23–27 (New combination).

Diagnosis. This species differs from N. aritai and N. marisella by the oblique central fascia of the forewing and the long median lobe of valva in male genitalia; and differs from N. issikii by the dark brown forewing background color.

Specimens examined. Not available in this study.

Distribution. China (Hunan).

Remarks. Popescu-Gorj (1992) designated the lectotype and paralectotypes from a series of specimens collected in Hengshan, Hunan, China (as “Hoengshan” in original labels) by H. Ĥne. Moreover, Kozlov & Hirowatari (1997) also noted two additional specimens in MINGA and five in BMNH as paralectotypes. The species name presented in the original description is “ Nemotois höneella ” which was changed to “ Nemophora hoeneella ” and was considered a justified emendation ( Kozlov & Hirowatari 1997).
