10. Scobura parawoolletti Fan, Chiba & Wang, 2010 ( Figs. 30–32 )

Scobura parawoolletti Fan, Chiba & Wang, 2010 : 11, TL : Hainan .

Material examined: 2♂♂4♀♀, Nonggang, Longzhou, 1–2.V.2015, 5–7.V.2016, Guoxi Xue leg.

Note: Compared with the holotype ( Fan et al. 2010: Figs 19, 20 ), the discal spots on the forewing of the two males examined in this study are narrower, and the two cell spots of all six specimens examined are separated, not conjoined as described by Fan et al.

Female genitalia ( Fig. 35 ). Distal 2/3 of papillae anales tapered. Posterior edge of lamella postvaginalis with a widely U-shaped concave on each side of a shallowly notched middle plate. Lamella antevaginalis divided into two plates, between which is an hourglass-shaped gap. Ductus bursae tube-like; bursa copulatrix bursiform, without signum.

Material examined: 4♂♂, Jinxiu, 15–21.VII.2015, Songyun Lang leg.

Note: The status of the genus Zinaida Evans, 1937 was reinstated by Fan et al. (2016), and Polytremis matsuii was moved into this genus thereby.
