Rhodostrophia plesiochora Prout, 1917 View in CoL

Rhodostrophia plesiochora Prout, 1917 View in CoL , Novit. zool., 24: 306. Holotype ♁, China (west): Pu-tsu-fong, 9820 ft (NHM).

Diagnosis. The species is very similar to R. yunnanaria , and only can be distinguished by the less rounded wings and the wavy antemedial line of the forewing ( Prout (1934 –1939), p. 24, pl. 3: i).

Distribution. China (Sichuan).

Remarks. Prout (1934 –1939) mentioned R. yunnanaria is a possible more heavily marked form of R. plesiochora . Unfortunately, we have no chance to examine the specimens. The differential diagnosis of R. yunnanaria and R. plesiochora needs further attention and study.
