Diagnosis. Easy recognizable species by its narrow forewing with parallel margins and rounded terminal margin ( Figs. 22, 23 View FIGURES 16–30 ). The only S. glauca is similar to that species, but differs by more bluish forewing ground colour and male genitalia ( Kononenko & Ronkay 2001; Han & Kononenko 2016). Females are remarkably larger than males in the Chinese populations wingspan of male is 26 mm, that of female 32 mm; in Indian and Nepal populations it varies from 21 in male to 24–26 in female. Ground colour characteristically dark grey (males) or pale ash-grey (females), with fine olive tint. Basal, antemedial and postmedial lines dark brown or blackish, filled with small patches of white erected scales. Stigmata present, rather sharply defined, especially in females; orbicular forming blackish ring, surrounding with white scales; claviform a blackish spot; reniform large, rounded, marked also with two strong black spots. Subterminal and terminal fields less separated, being suffused variably strongly with reddish-violaceous scales, marked often also reddish streaks; cilia pale reddish brown. Hindwing triangular, pale yellowish grey, with marginal suffusion darker brownish grey; cilia yellowish-grey. The male genitalia ( Fig. 46 View FIGURES 44–47 ) could be characterised by shape of valva with long acute ventro-apical extension and arming of the aedeagus with rather large long cornutus and patch of setae-like cornuti. In the female genitalia ( Fig. 55 View FIGURES 48–57 ) antrum relatively broad; ductus bursae sclerotised in caudal part, with lateral flap.
Distribution. Southwest China (Prov. Yunnan, Aut. Reg. Xizang), Nepal, India. Moths were collected in August. The species formerly was known from India and Nepal; hereby it is recorded for China for the first time. New data considerable extend the distribution pattern of S. glaucescens .
