Promalactis merangirella Lvovksy, 2000a

Promalactis merangirella Lvovsky, 2000a: 676 . TL: Dolok Merangir, Indonesia.

Diagnosis ( Figures 2h View Figure 2 , 3h View Figure 3 , 4f, 4 fa,b)

This species is superficially similar to Promalactis mooatana sp. nov. in the fore wing pattern, but it can be easily differentiated by the heavily oblique antemedial band and the larger costal patch reaching halfway across wing, and the male genitalia with cornutus absent. The first author checked the adult characters given by Wang et al. (2013) and the genitalic characters based on the figures by Lvovsky (2000a). In the taxonomical key of Southeast Asian Promalactis by Wang et al. (2013), this species has one band (= fascia) in the wing pattern, but the specimen of the species examined in this study has two bands: a subbasal band and an antemedial band. The male genitalic character of this species is well accordance with those of P. merangirella given by Lvovsky (2000a). It is necessary to check the fore wing of the species in further study.
